Berlin.-In Hamburg, town which

logical society, has just paid visit to
Carl Hagenbeck's ostrich farm at Ham
burg, in company with Seth Smith,
the zoos curator of birds.
This ostrich farm" said Dr. Mitch

able geological experiment of modern
times. Mr.. Hagenbeck went to tho ex

LITTLE BUG IS BIG EATER
Thirty caterpiIlars Each Day Provide
Only Ordinary Meal for Small
Green Beetle.

Washington The house commit
tee on agriculture has discovered that
the green beetle, tie tree-cltmbing
variety, will kill about thirty cater
pillars day.
In considering the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, the committee be-
came curious as to the comparative
yoracity Of the beetle, and sought
light from DR.. L. o. Howard, Ohio en-
tonologist Of the department.
Chairman Scott voiced the opinion
Of most Of the committee that, as the
caterpillar was SO much larger than
the beetle, one caterpillar ought to
furnish sufficient rations for several
days.
Doctor Howard, however, told the
committee that the beetle was en-.
traordinarily voracfous and could az
simulate food readily. The fuzzy cat
erpillar is the beetles main diet.
