"Talking of ants", said the American storyteller, "we've got them as big as crabs out West."
"They don't compare with the ants I saw in the Far East," said another traveler. "The natives have trained them as beasts of burden. One of them could carry a ton for miles with ease. They worked willingly, but occasionally they turned on their attendants and killed them."
