was dressed, but with this difference;
his armOr was, on the broad black
back. shot with ruby and purple and
gold. and If you got II IN the right
light, just ike some Of the very Ihe

In short, he was a beetle, what IS
know as carnivorOus beetle-or
rather, one of them, for there are sew
eral kinds all fairly common, and
none possessing a proper name in Eng
lish
At the moment we came upon him
he was trolling about the branches OF
a pine tree, for no other reason appar-
emily than to show how brilliant and
grand his armor looked in the light or
the afternoon sun That was because
he moved so slowly As a matter OF
fact, he was following a trail Of scent
hunting down quarry and very
difficult line II was, too, because 50
many other trails crossed it-tralls OF
moths and flies and beetles and ear
wigs, ana goodness knows now many
others
Then this insect stopped suddenly,
and stood absolutely mOtiOnless from
head TO hind hooked claw. as only az
insect can keep still, and then, so sud
denly and so quickly that the human
eve could hardly follow him, dashed
branch at q caterpillar moving across
the rugged bark. 1t was an amazing
exhibition Of swift attack. But the
slow seeming caterpillar was ready, IL
seemed. for almost as he started 10

fully true the aim was, tOO-so true
that had the beetle not swerved In the
last stride, and with astounding agility,
he would in all probability have been
blinded for life
Not TO be baked, however, the beetle,
without checking speed, continued TO
swerve, and with one long, quick leap,
landed full upon the back Of the neck
Of another caterpillar about six inches
away before the latter could move
Then was seen what the WORD
strength really means as exhibited IN
the insect world. The beetle had
buried his fangs-Which were ike
curved shears, the ends pointing in
ward and the raZOr-sharp cutting edge
notched like a saw-in the back Of the
caterpillar's neck, at the same time
feeling for a hold on the branch with
four out Of his six legs As soon as ne,

pillar up and held him out kicking, IN

was two and a half inches long ana
enormously strong, and dashed about

Half an hour later, just as IL was

out warning, out of a hole which must
have seemed TO him like cave, packed

of those solitary wild bees that make
tunnel nests in wood. And since the
thing bObbed out practically under his
equivalent for a nose. he stopped dead
There was a pause while the owner
of the sting came out, and sat looking
at him rather amazedly- But as soon
as she had come to the conclusion that
he was live, she gave an angry

matter Of fact, only n tOmtit. but, so far
as the beetle was concerned, II might
have been an elephant All he knew
was that he found himself being
whirred away ANONYMOUSLY through

and that as soon as he did so, he fell
headlong and head first, without hav-

feet into a bush, where ne fetched up

Automobile
Racing
BY GEORGE FITCH
Author Of "At Good Old Siwash'
Copyright, 1912. BY George 1fatheWAdamsl

A UIOMOBILE racing Is a modern
n invention which would have made
the old Roman chariot races look
like an ice wagon parade. The Romans
are still considered by historians to have
been a lively and enterprising people,
but if a Roman citizen who had been a
gladiatorial matinee fiend should come
back and witness modern automobile
race from the upper curve. he would
probably put both fingers in his ears
and try to climb the fence with his teeth.
An automobile race consists of a large
number of dust and smoke clouds, each
one enclosing a volcanic roar. and a
candidate for the morgue. The roars
are produced by automobiles ranging
from 100 to 200 horsepower and when
couple of these leaping cataclysms come
down the stretch, making 100 m
FASHIONED remarks per minute apiece, the
late discussion between Win and Theo-
dore in Massachusetts, would dwindle to
a dove COO in comparison.
Automobile races are held for the pur-
pose of finding the weak points in auto
mobile frames and in the spectators I
brains. Thanks to automobile racing, /
we have produced cars capable OF max /
ing 100 miles an hour for half a day, IN /
Guiding stops for gasoline, tires and IN /
quests, and which can leap five feet INTO j
the air and come down 80 feet farther 4
on without disarTanging anything but /
the road And we have also discovered I
a variety of human being who Will /
watch a flock of these monsters turning
somersaults all day and come home Bit
terly disappointed because he did not /
get drivers leg for a souvenir The
first result Is much more useful To
humanity than the second
Automobile racing Is about the only /
game which is as fatal to the spectator
