I'll say nothing against Termite, though he's a poacher, and for the castle folks that's worse than all, but if yon bandit of a Brisbille weren't the anarchist he is and frightening everybody, I'd excuse him his dirty nose and even not taking it out of a pint pot all the week through. It isn't a crime, isn't only being a good boozer.
I saw at once that it was the nest of a termite, or ant, which the Mexicans call comejen. "It is a nest of white ants," I said to my son; "they are insects of the neuropteral order, and allied to the libellula." "But where are they?" "You will soon see," I answered.
The young novice was very anxious to find out. The savant, mounted on his favorite hobby, continued to ride it beautifully. "Now these termitines," said he, "are characterized by four joints on the instep, horned jaws, and remarkable strength. We have the mantispe species, the raphidie, and the termite species.
Denny and Jim looked about over the rows of live food, and among the termite soldiers with their odd heads, in vain for a creature that might conceivably be the super-insect that so omnipotently ruled the mound.
Of the Termite, Termes, or Bug a Bug, as it is called by the Natives upon the Windward Coast of Africa. Among the insects mentioned in page 36, the termite, termes, or bug a bug, attracts peculiar notice.
He did not see that he had passed clear of the menacing hulk that his slow crawling had been multiplied in results by the fact that the termite guard had finally, stopped trying to turn in the narrow passage and had rushed ahead into the Queen's chamber, to turn there and come dashing back.
While Termite was slipping away somewhere else his questioner indicated by a gesture that he did not understand. "Never mind," he said to us, "that chap's better than us." Gradually it came about that we of the squad used to consult Termite on any sort of subject, with a simplicity which made me smile and sometimes even irritated me.
We stopped and drew breath again; and on the gloomy edge of this gulf some soldiers even amused themselves by inciting Termite to speak of militarism and anti-militarism. I saw faces which laughed, through their black and woeful pattern of fatigue, around the little man who gesticulated in impotence. Then we had to set off again.
They could only ascribe it to the same force that seemed able to follow them, step by step and thought by thought, though it was far away and out of sight the ruling brain of the termite tribe. Ever hotter it grew as they descended, till at length a blast of heat like a draft from a furnace met them as they rounded a corner and stepped into a corridor that no longer led downward.
How convincing is this fact of the infinitely wise arrangements of the Creator, who has united, in the whole system of creation, one uniform conformation of order and utility; for although the vermis, or worm, which is so pernicious to shipping in tropical climates, and the termite, possess so many destructive qualities, yet these very properties serve the most important purposes and designs.
