XH.-What Experiments With
Ants Teach Us.'
HE study of anta is fasctnnt
ir.g and profitable recreation
' for the long aiuniner montba.
ri. How to begin may be lea rue J
from what follows, and once aturted
you will need no farther directions. -
Jn the first place, it will be neceasury
to Induce a colony of anta to build
tbelr' neat lu a pluca ao situated that
you cnn readily obaerve tbem at any
time.' Fortunately this ia a very easy
matter," aud If you observe carefully
the . following lustruetioua you . will
have no trouble:
Get two pieeea - of window glasa
about l by 12 inibps and four atrlpa
of wood about hulf nu inch wide and
an eighth of an Ini'h thlt-k, two of them
being b:ilC an inch abortcr than the-
length of the tiana, one on long as
tho wl-Itb of tbc glaaa and the fourth
olHiut . two Inches shorter than the
width of the glnaa. "
These strips niay be obtained by
splitting up the bottom of a peach
basket.' . liy means of tome good glue
cement these strips firmly' to the sur
face of one. plate of glass around the
edges and then cement tho other plate
down uKn them. -
Tilts will make n space between the
platen of glass alwut 0 by 11 Inches
and an eighth of an Inch high, inclosed
all arouud except about an inch atone
corner.- .
When tho gluo has thoroughly hard
ened, tho space between the plates
miiKt lie filled with very fine, dark
earth, wlili-li should bo sifted if pos
sible. This runy prove a long and
tedious process, and it may be better
to leavo out the shorter strip -along
tho end until the dirt ia In. It should
then be placed in, however, in order to
keep the dirt from drying Oiit, This
apparatus is to tie the artificial nest
of the nuts. . -
Before introducing the colony into
this nest it is ueccsaiiry to provldo
porno means of confining 'them. There
are various ways of doing this, the
bent one Iiclng to surround the nest
with water by paying it on a piece of
Inch board, setting the ooard In a
shallow pun aud pouring a littlo water
around it. Great care must be. taken
not to get water in the nest.
Now lo Int rod ueo the colony get a
lar'e tin cnn or a tin pull with a tight
cover and n trowel or spade. Go out
and look until you find what appears
to be a thrlfly nest in tlie ground.
Opcu your tin can, dig up the nest
ants aud 'nil, with one dip of the
spade, thrust it Into the can and chip
on the cover.
Carry your prise home, sot It on the
glass nest, surrounded by water, and
cautiously take oft the cover. The
ants will immediately swarm over
everything as far na tho water, and
you must take care that none gets
drowned during the excitement
Very soon, however, they will be
come more calm, and it Is very prob
able that In leiM than ten minute
some of them will fiud the opeuing
into the urtlrtclnl nest and at once be
gin excavating It, . . .
Itndile of one day they will hnve nil
elnliornte nest dug, with Its uinin hall
anil long tnnnels, ami will bo thor
oughly established In it.
im should now dump the dirt from
the cnu out Uxn tne nest anil, using
a broad knife blnile, take it up a little
at a time, carefully pick out any Inrvse
0'ttle white grubs) or pupie (cocoons)
that the ants have not already re
moved, place them near (lie month of
the. nest and throw the dirt awny.
The nest should now be covered with
a slieet of pasteboard to keep out the
light, which the ants dislike.
By removing the pasteboard at any
tlmo yon will be able to watch these
little creatures In their new .home.
Yon can learn more about their mode
of living by observing thorn for a few
days than could be written In a whole
book. The neat should I kept In a
warm, II lit place, preferably before
an o;icn window, and the ants should
be fed with a .variety of things, snob
as small grubs. Insects, bit of meat,
Irott, honey, sugar, etc.
The Beat ahould not be shake dls
turlied In ' any way, and the paste
board should be kept ever It when to
Prominent Instructors
tro not looking at It. '
Before saying anything about tb
sensea and powers of these Insects ht
us examine the structure, of their tiny
bodies. - Much may be learned by sim
ply looking at them, esiieclully If they
belong to one of the larger siiech-fl.
A glance will show that the three
divisions of the body head, thorax
and abdomen are quite distinct and
that the abdomen is fastened to the
thorax by what looks like a short stem
with a knot lu It. Under a small mag
ulflor the head Is aeeu to be provided
with a pair-of powerful pinchers, or
mandibles, a pair of feelers, or an
tenna:, and a pair of compound eves. ;
xnere are also three small, simple
yes In the-'top of the head. Close
study with a powerful microscope re
veals the fact that there are in the tips
of the feelers organs that seem to be
designed for ears, and It Is also
thought that the sense of smell is lo
cated in theso feelers, a will be seen
presently. . '
: The scientist who has probably
studied the habits of ants more pa
tiently aud carefully than any other
Is Sir John Lubbock. The results of
bis many experiments to determine
something of tbelr senses and intelli
gence aie truly marvelous, lie made
extensive tests of their senses of sight,
smell and hearing and of tbelr powers
of communication and recogulzing
each other, some of which wilt be
briefly described. ' -
' It is very evident that ants have a
more ot less definite sense of sight
However, it is probable that they can
not see objects distinctly at any great
distance, from the fact that they ap
parently take no notice of things going
on arouud them, except those in their
immediate vicinity, within . a few
inches. -' -
One thing ' which Lubbock clearly
proved ia the fact that ants have the
power of distinguishing colors and also
that bluish and violet colors are not
agreeable to them. He did this mainly
by laying pieces of colored glass over
the nest in broad daj light and watch
ing the behavior of tie ant under the
different colors.
Tho sense of smell is also highly de
veloped In ants. This is shown by the
fact that they will go directly to
honey, sirup, etc., In tho dork and will
even crawl through narrow, Indefinite
cracks and openings to get Into the
sugar box, as we all know. -
Lubbock . made some experiments
which lead us to believe that the sense
of smell is located In the antennae. He
accustomed tho ants to walking ever
a strip of paper to get their food and
then bung a camel's hair brush dipped
In musk, peppermint or other strong
scent directly over this paper. The
ants would often stop and turn back
on smelling tho perfume. Indicating
that it was disagreeable to them. On
slowly advancing a feather dipped In
perfume toward an ant that was at
rest the ant drew back the antenna?,
whereas an unseented feather bad no
effect
No snch results, however, were ob
tained by Lubbock In his experiments
on the sense of hearing. In fact, all
of his experiments bad decidedly nega
tive results, and scientists generally
accepted the apparent fact that ants
cannot hear. But Lubbock carefully.
avoided concluding that ants are really
deaf, and some experiments made by
the author several years later seem to
point to the opposite conclusion.
One experiment performed on several
nests containing different species may
lie described as most significant The
ants lu a nest all being perfectly quiet
a shrill note wis blown on a whistle
near the nest, great care being taken
that the anta should not be disturbed
la any other way. Immediately there
were confusion and alarm, the ants
running excitedly hither and thither,
carrying their eggs, grubs and cocoons.
which were usually piled at one aide
of the main ball of the nest off into
the long passages, evidently endeavor
ing to hide them. , This was the in
variable result whenever the experi
ment was tried.
Strange to say, these same ants were
not apparently much alarmed when
any one tapped on the glass nest or
even picked it up aud handled it Many
experiments with single ants resulted
In the Insect wildly waving Its anten
nas when compelled to listen to shrill
sounds, thus Indicating the location of
the sense of hearing In these organs.
The author would be nuch pleased
to receive communications relating te
further experiments along this fine,
and marTy young people throughout
the country might make themselves
nseful to -the scientific world In Just
this way. .

Washington county, situated In the

its location is the key that is aiding

this proximity to the greatest market

county an ideal field for farm, diiry,

Washington county's climate, or
which if the truth were spoken many
would be loath to believ. : Washing

to prevent the farmer from babi ually

source and foundation of our wealth,

Washington county is out of debt,
and Is on a solid financial basis, each
year's tax pays the current expenses,
which the state'a secretary's report
show to be leas than all other counties
in the state, being only $1.00 per
