Poor Antl Color Blind and Naar-Sight.d W Think After prolonged and care ful examination with micro scope and calibrated instru ments, one conclusion was evi dent: The structure and func tion of an ant's eyes are pretty slipshod. According to the findings, the ant is color blind and terribly near-sighted. It can hardly see a camel right at the end of its nose. By these deductions it must therefore be assumed the little creatures locate their food and recog nize their friends by smell or touch. It should also be true that an ant with its nostrils plug ged and its antennae short circuited would be helpless and would eventually starve to death right in the midst of its favorite food. The struc ture of ant-eyes, measured by the yardstick of what has been discovered in the study of human and animal eyes, would indicate the exactness of the findings. So the six or seven hun dred ants, swarming In and out of the glass jar that held half a pound of red, yellow, green, black, white and pink candles, were merely follow ing their noses. Anyway they were a happy and very busy group of insects. Seek Out Crevice The jar sat on a davenport table, the table on a Turkish rug. But the ant-folks had crossed the rug, climbed the table-leg and searched out a tiny crevice in the rubber gasket that was supposed to seal the jar. The first arrivals, after lo cating the treasure and the way in had alerted the rest of the gang and they all came. It was great fun for the ants, and the party lasted until someone picked up the jar and discovered it was lit erally crawling with ants. There was a steady stream of the little demons going in, and a constant line going out. It was immediately evident the entrance and exit was pretty small, for the little creatures had - to limit the lload they carried to a very small mass in order to get out. There was extreme crowd ing, too, as only one ant could get In or out at a time. There was always a waiting line, but the creatures seemed to have worked out a system. They lined up and took their rightful turn. WALT tAMDTHS SING and WALT v With, tabu tout taltv el txo Heaollett 1 HfirteiMnl TKHMCOlOt Willis) ticmg. 3 -Si Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Reglsrar and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) The Irate housewife dump ed the candy and washed the jar. Then she began to won der about ant blindness and adaptability. She hurriedly recovered the colored candies, wiped them free of bewilder ed ants and placed them again in the clean jar. She hunted up a new rubber gasket, tak ing care that It tightly sealed the jar. She tightened the lid firmly. She placed the jar back on the table after brush ing off the tabple top. An hour later the ant-army generals, privates had re turned. They swarmed over the outside of the jar, looking with eyes not supposed to be very keen at the colorful con tents. The jar was left on the table for three days. Not an ant found a way In, but they re fused to give up. The candy was there, they figured, and there must be an entrance if only they could find It. No Smell Possible There was not the faintest possibility the ants could smell the candy, yet they cer tainly could see it. They seem ed to know It was the same kind they liked so well, and It was the same color. The housewife isn't openly discrediting the findings of science, but she suspects the ants to which she is playing hostess are better adapted than most ants. These don't seem to be color blind or near sighted. Meanwhile, back at the candy jar, the hungry still search for way in.
