It is hardly possible to protect provisions from the attacks of the baraten and ants.

The latter, in fact, often appear in long trains of immeasureable length, pursuing their course over every obstacle which stands in the way.

During my stay in the country at Herr Geiger's, I beheld a swarm of this description traverse a portion of the house.

It was really most interesting to see what a regular line they formed; nothing could make them deviate from the direction they had first determined on.

Madame Geiger told me that she was one night awoke by a horrible itching; she sprang immediately out of bed, and beheld a swarm of ants of the above description pass over her bed.
