Ants Make Good Firemen Ants make good firemen, using their own unaided efforts, and freely giving up their lives to save their fellow workers from destruction. Exactly how they proceed when a fire is to be put out is described by Friedrich Oedde in Kosmos (Stutt Mi. Oedde tells us that what he did was by the way of verification of statements In various periodicals about the extinguishing of fires by ants. He proceed: “In a fire-wood at an altitude of about 3,000 feet at the Pander hotel in the Austrian Alps, here he, under a fir-tree, leaning ngalnst the trunk, an anthill with a solid con tent of about ten cubic feet, con sisting of needles, dry, broken branches, withered foliage and small pebbles. “At 9.45 a. m, I stuck into this a stearin candle so that it project ed a little more than an inch. On the hollow under the wick appear ed immediately industrious wood •nts which dropped parasitic mftes. •the light-brown mites moved al most as fast as the ants themsel SPECIAL EXCURSION FARES MAY 2ND, 1930 TO WASHINGTON, D.

The wick sent forth a flame about one and one-half Inches In height Immediately the ants next to It leapt away and watched the fire. After a few sec onds I saw some of the excited In sects springing Into the fire, scorch ing their limbs and head, and then drawing back. Presently there lay six half charred ants. The whole tribe grew excited. Then the Jumping ceased and able-bodied ants cau tiously aproached the flame and placed themselves at the edge of the candle, ao that they could cling to it with their hind legs, while they held their heads and out stretched forelegs out. By means of the hind legs they directed the posterior portion of the body toward the flame. In this position the courageous insects squirted a fluid against the wick so that each time the flame emitted a hissing. It was not easy to extinguish the fire. The candle still projected above the fir needles, so that the ants had to climb up along the stearin over the edge, and were then within reach HOSIERY HOSPITAL, Inc. (of Charlotte, N. C.)

C. of the heat, which burned the feel era and forelegs of the brave insects Steadfastly they maintained each time this extremely dangerous posi tion for two or three seconds, again and again squirting the liquid ex actly upon the wick, not only against the flame itself. Already the flame burned perceptibly lower Again and again injured ants fell and ran back or remained lying in the liquid stearin. At the same time the ants filled the space between the side of the candle and the • mound of needles with needle sub stance as high as the edge of the candle, so that now they could stand a little further back on top of the needles, and were not so much ex posed to danger. Now the ants were lit better shape. The flame hissed constantly, but there still were some injured and burned ants. Nothing would keep the ihsecta from saving their colony through constant fight ing of the fire. Around the candle were 150 to 200 ants, each ready to spurt against the flame. Here and there a fire needle caught fire, but the ignited needles were immedi ately extinguished by the ants. Now the brave Insects came from all sides. The flame was still over an inch high when there was a loud hissing sound, and the danger was over; the fire had been extinguish ed in four and one-half minutes. Then the Insects attempted to cover the candle from the hillside, and at the same time worker ants came and squirted at the black wick as if to enable it to resist fire. Some ants made an effort to carry ofl those that were burned, but they could rot extract them from the sticky stearin. The excitement hav ing subsided, the ants resumed their usual occupations, and hardly more than one-half of the Insects were to be seen on the surface. “The opinion expressed by others that the ants, as It were, have a trained fire brigade, Is not correct. In every ant dwells the instinct to risk its life to the utmost in case of danger in order to save its col ony, and therefore each strong ant in the neighborhood of the confla gration had assisted to the limit of Its ability.
