The dragon beetle is about inch in length,
dark grayish- brown or grayish-bl in color and
the border of the river in large numbers. When
touched it emits squirt of liquid which in the air
turns to vapor smoke and is visible to the eye.
At the time there is slight audible snap,

Other butterflies dart about, in this direction and
that, futtering purposelessly. The hecuba
does this, but sails slowly along in a straight
line, like a hawk, with steady and deliberate
wing movement Anybody who does not know
a collectors life, l think, would have pited
me during the three months when l stood in
those paths, in that steamng, fever-ridden and
mosquito infested jungle, watching those grand
butterflies sailing along over my head, and unable
to get them down. The mosquitoes something
awful. They can bite through canvas hunting

kerosene and he is carrying large burning torch
to get them out of the way
The problem with the hecuba was to devise some
kind of lure bait that it would fly to. Some
insects fly to light some to SMELL some to sight,
and to sound. Having no flowers, l first
tried brilliant combinations of different colored
isinglass. l thought them pretty myself but they
left the hecubas calm. Red brings many insects,
but not the hecubas. Then tried hanging bananas
to limbs of shrubs, but these would not do. Then
/ would catch another kind of butterfly different
species, and tie him to shrub by thread SO that
he would futter scientifically as if in trouble. This

Is strong enough 10 produce this
effect. The natives fear this
beetle greatly, and say that if
any of the liquid gets in ones
eye it causes blindness.
l got about five hundred ia
rantulas, which bring from
twenty-five cents to one dollar
each. The largest of them has
a spread equal to the circum-
ference of the largest kind of
saucer. They are plentiful there,
and are a great pest. Their bite
is not directly fatal, but it SO
wrecks the constitution that the
victim becomes a prey to ma

Madagascar is a negotiable country, and |
going there | recently returned from
Brazil with about hundred thousand insects

several months of collecting in Costa Rica and
Dutch Guinea went up the Amazon. For year,
from March, 1903 to March, 1904, was collecting
in the forests around Obidos which is fifteen hun
bred miles up the river. The most interesting part
of my trip came from my finding way to catch the
hecuba, which until then impossible. The
Para Museum which for forty years has taken the
greatest interest in the fauna and flora of Brazil,

dollars apiece for all would sell. sold them only

not be induced to come lower.
What it feeds on l do not know;
possibly upon the flowers in the
tree-tops. In these dark mag
nifcent Amazonian forests there
are no flowers whatever upon
the ground. The trees, profuse
in LEAKAGE, rise from two to three
hundred feet. Heavily laden
with growing vines and with
rank jungle-growth, the ground
always is lighted dinly, and is
hot and steaming like Turkish
bath. Even the flowers are the
tree-growing orchids, which are
high in the air.

the midday hours, along the
paths made by the natives.

Carriers Routes to Be Revised.


Postmaster Wood has received
official notification from the Post
Office Department at Washington,
that the routes of the mail car
riers in this city are to be revis
ed and shortened to such de
gree that all persons who receive
their mail through carriers will
be served twice each day. Under
the present regime the routes
are so long that in the outlying
districts the carriers make only
one trip each day, and it is an
established rule of the depart
ment that where mail is delivered
free there must be at least two
deliveries each day Postofice
Inspector Thomas Baine has
been commissioned to revise The
routes, and viii. begin the work
this week. The western portion
of the city will not be materially
effected, as the route Of the car
rier in that section. will remain
practically the same as itnow is.
In the northern, eastern and
southern suburbs, however,
there will be a considerable lop
ping off of the territory now
served by the carriers. The
routes have not yet been definite
ly decided upon, but it is under
stood that under the new order
of things the cerrier on the north
side will not be required to make
what is known as the Orr S hill
loop" and the residents of this
fashionable section will be requir-
ed to go to the postoffice for their
mail. In East Columbus the
carrier will probably not go
farther than Fifteenth street,
and on the South Eighth avenue
will probably be the border line
When seen by a DISPATCH re
porter yesterday Postmaster
Wood stated that he anticipated
some dissatisfaction on the part
Of those who are to be deprived
of the benefits of the free deliv-
cry, but said that the matter was
one which was entirely beyond
his control. The revision Of the
routes was ordered by the Post
office Department at Washington
without any suggestion from
him. Inspector Baine was here
on Monday, and made d cursory
exa mination of the routes now
traversed by the carriers. The
inspector expressed himself as
being thoroughly dissatisfied
with the condition Of the side
walks in the suburbs of the city,
saying thai they were not fit for
the carriers to walk on. This
came as quite a surprise to the
pOstoffice officials, who shared in
the general opinion that Column
bus had as fine a system of side
walks as could be found any
where in the State.
As matters now stand, the only
way in which the entire pOpula-
ton of the city can have their
mail delivered to them is by Sc
curing an additional carrier, and
this Postmaster Wood will en-
deavOr to do. When free deliv-
cry was first established here
Mr.. Wood said that three car
riers were not enough to serve
the city properly, and sought to
prevail upon Mr.. Warren, who
was the inspector in charge of
this district, to have four APP
pointed. Mr.. Warren claimed
that three carriers were enough
to start in with but said that
others would be appointed as
needed. The time when another
carrier is needed and needed
badly has now arrived, and Post
master Wood will use every eff
fort to induce Inspector Baine
to recommend the amendment
