London Zoos New Insect Which Lives
on Rotten Fruit.
The insect house of the zoo in Lon
don recently received a rare and curl
GUS acquisition, says a special CORE
spOndent of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t is a fine specimen of the
Goliath beetle from South America,
which on account of it's size and fierce
appearance would send the British
housemaid into Mysteries.
1t is nearly five inches long and looks
like a miniature parson in a white
surplice and black stole. 1t is not
poisonous nor Intentionally ferocious,
but there is a spot between the neck
and shoulders which acts like a wise.
A finger placed in this aperture would
be broken. The other day a keeper in
serted a key there. Goliath bent it
almost double by merely Struggling
his shoulders.
This great beetle is the most mex
pensive guest in the zoo, for he feeds
entirely off fruit that is completely
rotten.

TICKER FOR CONGRESS.

Tapes In All Committee Rooms to Re-
port Events on Floor.
The ticker for congress is the latest
wrinkle devised to tighten the burden
of the heavily laden congressman. In
struments quoting the market Of the
New York Stock Exchange will he
placed in the committee rooms when
the new Office buildings are completed.
says a Washington special to the New
York World.
The distance between the Office build
lngs and the capitol is several hundred
feet, and the ticker will save the con-
gresham walking this distance many
times a day. The idea is to employ a
trained newspaper man to watch the
proceedings on the floor of the house
and senate and send the reports out on
the ticker. The house office building
will be ready for use during the next
congress.
That some ambitious congressman
might accidentally have his tape ma
chine connected with the Wall street
tickers is a suggestion Of wlckedness in
a national legislator that is purely con
Jectural.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer

cent. of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too much
food; people are inclined to over-in-
duge themselves. This is where in
digestion finds its beginning in nearly
every case. The stomach can do Just
so much work and no more, aud when
you overload it, or when you eat the
wrong kind of food, the digestive organs
cannot possibly do the work demanded
Of them. II is at such times that the
stomach needs help; it demands help,
and warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and indigestion.
You should attend to this at once by
taking something that will actually do
the work for the stomach. Kodol will
do this. 1t is combination of natural
digestants and vegetable acids and con-
