The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner

On
the
other
hand,
if
a
homeward-bound
ant
was
lost
it
would
approach
from
the
outward
side
of
the
landmark
and
pass
in.
About
five
feet
from
the
ground
were
two
small,
round
knots,
about
one-eighth
of
an
inch
in
height,
and
a
space
between
them
of
about
the
same
width.
This
appeared
to
be
one
of
their
most
conspicuous
and
reliable
landmarks,
and
every
ant
that
I
saw
pass
in
or
out
during
the
lapse
of
weeks
passed
between
these
two
points.
The
burdened
ant
always
appeared
to
have
the
right
of
way,
and
when
meeting
another
without
a
burden
there
was
no
question
of
this
right.
In
such
a
case
the
burden
was
usually
held
aloft,
and
the
right
of
way
conceded
without
debate.
A
little
later
in
the
season
I
had
the
opportunity
of
seeing
the
same
colony
emigrate
to
a
point
about
eighty
feet
distant
from
their
original
abode,
at
which
time
they
carried
large
burdens
and
were
many
days
in
completing
their
work,
but
the
same
system
and
methods
prevailed.
As
far
as
desire
can
be
found
in
life
the
means
of
expression
go
hand
in
hand
with
it,
but
I
do
not
contend
that
desire
alone
is
the
origin
of
this
faculty.
So
far
as
human
ears
can
ascertain,
the
lowest
forms
of
life
appeared
to
dwell
in
perpetual
silence,
but
there
may
be
voices
yet
unheard,
more
eloquent
than
we
have
ever
dreamed
of.
