A Beetle In Harness.

Not long since many newspaper para
graphs were current about a pretty beetle
which the southern ladies were in the
habit of wearing on the corsage. where
il crawled at will, held by a tiny gold
chain. This beetle is the maqueche. 1t
is perfectly ~inoffensive, has no odor and
does not deface or stain the most delicate
fiber. The adjusting OF the golden har-
ness isa nice operation, the metal being
soldered on il. The harness consists Of
q girdle about the insects waist-between
the thorax and the abdomen-to which
above and below is joined a slender band
passing over the posterior portion OF the
body. longitudinally, while a small chain
is attached TO this harness by a little
staple, which chain terminates in a hook
or pin TO fasten in the bodice.
By many Mexicans the insect is re-
garded as an amulet or mascot, and is
usually highly priced by foreigners when
obtainable. Parties who have owned in
Sects of this kind have often attempted to
maintain them on sugar and water, but
the beetles always persisted in a short
time. But if fed on decayed wood, which
is their natural food, they may be kept
alive and thriving for more than a year,
The wing v or shell Of the beetle
is exceedingly hard. Its color is a light
chocolate shade, and when full grown il
is about an inch and a half long. 1t ha,
been stated that this beet!e q cut
through soft metal. and this fact is one
Of the most interesting about it. When
placed in a glass jar covered by a thin
pewter lid it has been known after a few
hours Of chipping and cutting to make a
hole sufficiently large to allow it to pass
through. Specimens Of this insect and
the cut metal were shown at a recent
meeting of the M~icroscopical society

Concerning the Snnth Pole.

If Henry Willard carries out his pres
n intention Of making a trip to the
south pole the world will doubtless learn
some new facts about that interesting
region. Sir James Ross has told us all
that is known about the south pole. He
found N fields If ice and ice
bergs a mile high, and he also found an
open polar sea. He saw beyond the
extreme southern Ii lit of his voyage nm
enormous Gctivc volcano. and this give,
rise to the belief that the intense cold in
the vicinity Of the pole may b. tempered
by the heat cscapiug from the interior 81

To Make an Americans Hair Stand.
ONLY THINK, 1T COSTS ALMOST AS MUCH TO GET RAIL
WAY BILL THROUGH THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT AS IT
DOES To BUILD THE ROAD.
From the Railway Press
Few OF the outside public can have any idea Of
the enormous cost Of getting railway bill through
parliament.
The parliamentary, surveying, and engineering
costs or the Kendall and Windermere Co. amounted
to trifie over per cent on the whole expenditure
on the line. or parliamentary costs the Brighton
Railway averaged f4,sO6 per mile; Manchester
and Birmingham, f5,190; Blackwell, cl4,4I4
TheS- figures are almost UeyOnd belief, when We
consider that some English lines in favorable Do
SitiOns cost altogether only clO.OOO per mile. The
Brighton line for TWO sessions fought desperate
battle against several other companies and when
its bill came before the commit ee the expenses OF
counsel and witnesses amounted to over c1 600 a
day, and the discussion OF the measure lasted fifty
days.
The solicitors bill Of the Southeastern Railway
contained III, 900 foliOs occupying twelve months
in taxation, and amounted To Gao, 600. One COM
pany found such difIlculty In getting their bill
through its preliminary stages that at last, when
they mad reached the long desired last Stage they
had already spent nearly million OF money, and
this simply for obtaining the privilege OF making
the railway. VI the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate failure one
the stone and Rugby bill lasted sixty six sitting
days. from February till August, 1899: and In the
year 1870 the measure was defeated, after having
resulted in loss OF E146. 900 to its unhappy pro-
mOterS
l. is needless to say that such enormous expen.
diture cripples many a railway, and prevents its
shareholders from ever earning good dividends
The ceaseless energy, untlrng perseverance,, and
neat diplomacy which have TO be shown In push
ing railway bill TO a successful issue are almost
beyond belief; but 1t is much TO be desired that
the expenses which SO often go far to ruin line
even before It has begun working.
