Corroboration is furnished by Jesse, who says that Nature has undoubtedly "given to ants language of communication by the contact of their antennae. With these organs they ren der mutual assistance in labour and danger, discover last routes, and make each other ac quainted with their pecessities." The same authority says, "if a single wasp discover a de posit of honey or other food, he will return to 'his nest and impart the good news to his com- rades, who will sully forth in great numbers to partake of the fare."
A most amusing instance of communication between insects was that of a scarabaeus beetle. It was making a little pellet of soil to rece ve ils eRR, and had laboriously rolled it up a Rule hiftock, where it fell into a hole.
All efforts on the part of the beetle to extricate the pellet failed; and niter, several ineffectual trials, the insect went off, and soon returned with three companinos. All four now joined in the work with strategy and tactics, and succeeded in pushing out the pellet; where upon after greetings the three assistants retired, and left the original insect to its own Jabouts,
That animals generally communicate with one another and express ideas and wants admits of do question; though precisely how
it is effected is beyond human observation. A
comic case was that of a well-hred terrier be Jonging to a timber merchant of St., Louis.
He left his dog at a small country ion, and
when he returned for it the landlady told him it was lot. It seems that the little terrier had
yourrelled with the big house do, and been so
warried and bitten that it was thought it would never recover. But four days later it crawled out of the yard, and disappeared for a whole week. To the amytement of the people at the inn, it returned with a hound much bigger than its enemy, on whom both of them fell forth. with, and all but destroyed it. It was proved the little terrier had travelled over to miles to. coax away the big dog in question for the purpose of assisting him in resenting the injury done.
