Wasps and Ants 57 



By help of them the ants knew what was 

 edible, what impassable, what safe, and what 

 dangerous. Anything they came to, the feelers 

 examined. Joe told himself the feelers were 

 much more than feelers — they stood to the 

 little black fellows for hands, eyes, ears, not 

 to mention nose and tongue.
