Meanwhile
her
little
Jack
suffered
less
;
the
fever
had
not
returned
,
and
at
this
time
he
was
sleeping
,
under
his
mother
's
eyes
,
in
a
cell
well
lined
with
garments
.
Dick
Sand
knew
not
what
to
think
.
It
is
useless
to
say
that
Cousin
Benedict
did
honor
to
the
repast
,
not
that
he
paid
any
attention
either
to
the
quality
or
to
the
quantity
of
the
food
that
he
devoured
,
but
because
he
had
found
an
opportunity
to
deliver
a
lecture
in
entomology
on
the
termites
.
Ah
!
if
he
had
been
able
to
find
a
termite
,
a
single
one
,
in
the
deserted
ant
hill
!
But
nothing
.
"
These
admirable
insects
,
"
said
he
,
without
taking
the
trouble
to
find
out
if
any
one
were
listening
--
"
these
admirable
insects
belong
to
the
marvelous
order
of
newroptera
,
whose
horns
are
longer
than
the
head
,
the
jaws
very
distinct
,
and
whose
lower
wings
are
generally
equal
to
the
upper
ones
.
Five
tribes
constitute
this
order
:
the
Panorpates
(
scorpion
flies
)
,
the
Myrmileoniens
,
the
Hemerobins
,
the
Termitines
and
the
Perlides
.
It
is
useless
to
add
that
the
insects
which
now
interest
us
,
and
whose
dwelling
we
occupy
,
perhaps
unduly
,
are
the
Termitines
.
"
At
this
moment
Dick
Sand
listened
very
attentively
to
Cousin
Benedict
.
Had
the
meeting
with
these
termites
excited
in
him
the
thought
that
he
was
perhaps
on
the
African
continent
,
without
knowing
by
what
chance
he
had
arrived
there
?
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
.
The
last
is
often
known
under
the
term
of
white
ants
,
in
which
we
count
the
deadly
termite
,
the
yellow
corslet
termite
,
the
termite
that
shuns
the
light
,
the
biter
,
the
destroyer
--
"
"
And
those
that
constructed
this
ant-hill
?
"
asked
Dick
Sand
.
"
They
are
the
martial
ants
,
"
replied
Cousin
Benedict
,
who
pronounced
this
word
as
if
it
had
been
the
Macedonians
,
or
some
other
ancient
people
brave
in
war
.
"
Yes
,
the
warlike
ants
,
and
of
all
sizes
.
Between
Hercules
and
a
dwarf
the
difference
would
be
less
than
between
the
largest
of
these
insects
and
the
smallest
.
Among
them
are
'
workers
'
of
five
millimeters
in
length
's
oldiers
'
of
ten
,
and
males
and
females
of
twenty
.
We
find
also
a
kind
otherwise
very
curious
:
the
sirafous
half
an
inch
in
length
,
which
have
pincers
for
jaws
,
and
a
head
larger
than
the
body
,
like
the
sharks
.
They
are
the
sharks
among
insects
,
and
in
a
fight
between
some
sirafous
and
a
shark
,
I
would
bet
on
the
sirafous
.
"
"
And
where
are
these
sirafous
commonly
observed
?
"
then
asked
Dick
