Further study of the box of prisoners revealed many interesting facts. The tree nuts were seen to advance to the sides of the ones that could not move and to endeavor with all their strength to re- Iease the prisoners. It was then that the sounds made by the ants became lander and more strident. It was evident that these sounds conveyed some meaning. for a palpable difference was to be found in the minute utterances, which must have been intelligible to the tiny captives. Then came the problem. How was the sound made? M. Ferel proceeded to at once make minute investigations and submitted live nuts to the scrutiny of :1 very powerful microscope. Here, again, an interesting discovery was in store for the investigator. ’l‘lic glean! the little insects were found to e in one particular place rough and scaly, resemblingâ€"though of course on a tiny scaleâ€"the teeth of a saw. it was ivy rubbing this that the ant made the sound that had rewarded the scientist's to- search. M. Ferel then took a couple of ants and confined them in the glass be}: already described, imprisoning the one and giving the other liberty to move.
