An ardent student tells how he witnessed what may be termed a seance itt medical science among ants. He saw several of these little creatures emerge from the bills and noticed that there were some among them which were weak and emaciated—invalids, in faet. They were accompanied by healthy mem, bers of the conummity, and all made their way toward a distant 'mound. On following their movements through a glass the observer saw on this mound a big aud sturdy ant which made some motions in the di- rection of the advancing invalids.
