Julian, ants, billions of them, are literally eating the inhabitants of this little town out of their houses and work shops. And In the meantime the people are using cyanide fumes, one of the most deadly gaseous poisons known to man, In their terrific battle with the insidious foe that is threatening to reduce the village to sawdust So far the 250 inhabitants of the village have made little or no headway in their battle.

Against these 250 inhabitants is an army of ants numbering countless millions. In fact the ants seem to thrive on the deadly fumes which are being used in the desperate attempt to eradicate them. The Invaders are known in America as the African ants. However, they are different from the Insect usually known as ants. These mites are blind.

The termites live on wood. They resemble ants in physical appearance, but they are white, of nocturnal habits and work only In the dark. When they are in the light for a short time they seem to wilt and die. Origin Unknown. Where these ants came from no one knows.

They made their appearance two years ago. At first they were seen only in small numbers and centered their activities on the outhouses, especially the older ones. They were quite a curiosity at first and natives of the village took keen interest In their workings. However, before six months had passed they had increased in alarming proportions. It was then that people here commenced pouring kerosene and various sorts of on they seemed to fatten on this kind of poison, which gave them energy to work more actively and destructively than ever.

No amount of research work has been able to shed any light as to how the insects first came to this territory. The attack of the termites first assumed serious proportions a year ago when they commenced to undermine the $20,000 brick school home built only ten years ago. Since then ants have increased to seemingly millions and millions. The Methodist and United Brethren churches and parsonages besides more than a dozen homes, several stores and many outer buildings have been targets for their Thousands of dollars of woodwork have been totally destroyed. Eat Through Woodwork.

The termites eat their way through the I niework of the structure, the joists, sills, scantlings, rooms and floorings, leaving only a hollow shell almost as thin as paper behind. Now the churches and schools have I closed and a cyanlding expert is carrying on a vigorous warfare against the pests. In the meantime, school is being held in a private home and church services have been postponed to once a month. And this is also held In a private home. At present six homes are vacant, besides one store, two churches and the schoolhouse and a dozen sheds and barns.

The queen ant lays sixty eggs a minute, or 80,000 a day. A large portion of the first brood is undernourished and never grows up. The insects of this brood are sexless. The workers feed the queen, who in turn, feeds its millions of children from the contents of its own stomach. The second brood constitutes a well-nourished group of soldiers.

The third and best- nourished group Is made up of workers. HICKMAN CASE NEW EVIDENCE DISCOVERED Alleged That J. E.
