Numbering the Larky.

It is said that the pot hunters
California are rapidly exterminating
the meadow lark. 1t is very tooth
some bird, and is eagerly bought by
market men and restaurant keepers,
and as it does not enjoy the protec-
tion which the law gives to most other
kinds of game birds, it is hunted at
all times OF the year, and especially
when the other birds may not be shot
But not only is the meadow lark a
good game bird, he is one of the best
friends of the agriculturist and fruit
growers, as he is one of the leaders
among the insectivorous birds, being
especially fond Of cutworms, and his
destruction is likely to be attended
with great damage to the farmers. A
San Francisco paper calls for a revis-
ion of the game laws for the protec-
tion of the lark.-Picayune.

A Huge ssGoliath" Beetle.
A unique addition, and one of un-
common interest, has just been made

to the insect house in the London
Geological Gardens. The new arrival
is q specimen of the Goliath beetle
from West Africa-a giant even among
its own kind. There is little to ap-
preciate in the too familiar species of
the English household beetle, but
visitors to the Zoo will not fail to ad-
mire the splendid proportions and
beauty of color Of the Goliath.
Specimens of this genus are exceed
ingly rare. and are in consequence
much priced by collectors. The new
conner at the Zoo is the first of its kind
to make it's home there, and is be-
lieved to be the only living specimen
possessed by a public society in the
world. It measures between five and
six inches across the body, and if the
legs were extended to their full the
total measurement would be some nine
or ten inches.
The home of the genus Goliathus is
in tropical and Central Africa. Re-
lated genera also occur in South
America and tropical Asia. One OF
the species in South Americas roasted
and eaten by the natives, who are said
to regard it as a great dainty. The
new beetle at the Zoo, which, by the
way, is a male specimen of the largest
form, Goliathus Druryi, has been
placed appropriately enough next to
the giant spider from South America.
1t is supplied with food chiefly IN the
form of melon.

One opinion is that the trunk OF the
tree separates into several parts at the
ground, the parts rising separately
about twelve feet and then unite into
one body, forming a sylvan archway,
through which the path leads. An
other theory is that there are separate
trees which have become grated to-
pether at the head of the arch. Which
eve ever explanation is correct, the aspect
of the tree is very curious, and 1T has
long been a notable object.
