New Jfork.--la sheer numbers, the ants challenge imagination. They outnumber all pther forms of terrestrial animals. Over 7,000 species, subspecies, and varieties have already been collected and classified. But why is this insect so dominant? Hare are some reasons: The ant is preyed upon by CGmpc&r atively lew other animals. The ant's most dangerous eSettxies are other ants. Then, too, it "possesses very 'effective means for defense. Some ants have powerful stings, similar to the bees and the wasps, while ethers squirt drops of poison at their molesters A third reason--ants have long lives. Worker ants have been known to livs four to five years, while quesns live as long as 13 to IS years. During the queen's lifetime, many thousands ot eggs are produced. • Workers Are Ssaall. '-J* The workers are the small W&# less ants with which we are all acquainted. They are structurally females but sexually sterile. " The kings and queens are the sexual forms and they possess wings. "During the summer, the mature kings - ^and queens which have been developed in the nest swarm. While they are in the air, mating takes place. After mating the king die3 and the queen establishes a new colony. This is considered the typical life history, but practical^ every species has developed some peculiar habit characteristic of it alone. Blind Ants of Tropics. There are tropical ants which travel in great armies, as savage as the ancient Huns or Mongols, who spend their lives destroying nests of others and killing all insects in their way. These ants are blind, so that the size of an object in their path means nothing to them. Holes in the ground are entered, tall trees are climbed. Even human dwellings are invaded in search of prey. When such an army enters a house, the owner must temporarily surrender. But he can be sure that when the ants leave, all the coakroaches, spiders, rats, mice and other animal life shall have been devoured or driven away. There are other species of ants which have such large mouthparts that they are unable to feed themselves and must be waited upon. They gather slaves by raiding the nests of other ants and carrying home the young. ~Vhen these young reach maturity, they s*rve their captors. D.

Conducted by Warren E. Emley and C. E. Hofer of the national bureau of standards at the request of the procurement division of the Treasury departmqpt, tests revealed that the three materials can take the pounding of 1,500-pound trucks with small iron wheels better than can materials generally used for street paving. Five samples of concrete were among the 20 samples tried, Mr. Emley indicated. A truck of the type used in the post office for hauling bags of mail was rjin 60,000 times around a 40-ftmt track to see which material lasted longs Future post office construction, it is expected*, will1 take cognisance of the test's results. Bur. Emley warned, however, that the tests apply only to the special conditions of the small-wheeled heavy trucks found in post offices. Mount Whitney Still Is Highest in United States? .
