'- V Intelligence of Ants. The testing of the intelligence or ants is a iavonte study or naturalists, and recently there haye been publish ed accounts of some interestine experi ments to determine the seat of the re- t-uguiuou sense, n is wen Known inai ants, not only of one species, but of one community of the same species, are able to recognize one another while to members of other colonies or spe cies they are markedly hostile. In this last investigation the author rejects the theory that there is a language sense" in the antenae of the ant, stat ing that these organs are employed in feeling objects of all kinds, both ani mate and inanimate. He believes how ever, that the antenae have some sense of smell, and accordingly he annoint ed ants of one community with infus ions made from their friends and foes. When annointed with the former, the hostile ants were not attacked as long as the influence of the infusion persist ed. 'In further corroboration of this theory it was found that when an ant was deprived of its antnae it would at tack both friend and foe without dis crimination. Harper's Weekly.
