ment was opened up yesterday

Der Of visiting shooters. A strong

straights.
The results were as follows:

NOTES.
Everything on the grounds ran
smoothly yesterday, and there was
scarcely a hitch in the entire pro-
gram. The cold, bracing norther
made some of the shooters seek
cover, and a gentleman from Mich
igan was heard to remark: "Who
said it didn't get cold in Texas"
This gentleman was found wrap
ped in an immense overcoat.

The Zopherus Melicanus is the only known
species of American beetle that has strength
enough in its mandibles to cut metal. This
curious faculty of zopherus was accidentally
discovered by Il. w. DPVOe, a member of the
New York Microscopical society. A friend
had sent Mr.. Devoe some specimens of this
queer species of bug from the northern
states of South America. The microscopic
was busily engaged when the insects arrived
and simply provided temporary quarters for
the creatures in a glass jar having a metal
top in which the porcelain cap was wanting.
Within less than forty-eight hours they had
cut holes in the metal sufficient to get their
heads through, and would soon have escaped
had their operations remained undetected.
By careful experiment Mr.. Devoe found that
the force necessary to do such cutting was
equal to 369 grammes
