BOOKS IN STORE
RUINED BY ANTS
Grand Island, Feb. 25.—George W.
Tucker nujur.ns the loss of several
dozen Bibles and testaments ruined
by ravages of white ants, a colony
Of which, It seems, was contained In
a case recently received.
Books were so bored and hollowed
;is to render them unsnlnhle. Tiny
holes In one side of the book showed
entrance. As the ants worked their
way through to the other cover the
holes became larger. A complete
search of fhe shelving revealed no
clue as to the entrance of the ants.
Thorough fumigation killed the in
sects. No doubt is loft of the nature
of the Insects in the books, as many
were found dead between the leave*
of the Ribles.
The plague of ants in this cU$
was first discovered last a^mine!
when the floors, the window aills
especially of basement w indows, wood
en steps and In some cases the sid
lngs of houses, caused a dorm at
more to he repaired. Recently
eral additional houses have requ.ijf j
material rebuilding.
