Later the grove was selected as
a wealthy residential section. The
part containing the ant hills| was
left itact, but the numbers of colonies steadily decreased. The ants did
not appreciate the nearness of their
new Sylvan neighbors.
The Historical Society, who had
been very much interested in the ant
hills, decided to move part of them
to another location. They did. at the
expense ot much time and money.
The experiment was not successful.
Now, ten or fifteen years after
the flrst disturbance, there are only
a few ant colonies at each place. In
a tew more years the little town of
hundreds of earth mounds will have
entirely disappeared.
