A Curious beetle.

The museum beetle is as queer a
fellow as the bookworm. He lives in
museums only, and, eats exhibits.
Wool, furs, bric-a-brac, wood. pic
lures, chemieals-anything which a
museum contains is fare for the mu-
scum beetle, and he often does great
damage to collections. He is small
and dust colored. Care-takers know
him well, and are ever on the lookout
for him, but, despite their zeal, he
manages, somehow, to thrive and
multiply, and there is probably not a
museum in the land that is not pes
tered with him.-Nature.
