BEETLE THAT EATS

Insect with Peculiar Appetite Subject
of Much Interest in Scientific
World.

Insects of the beetle family have
been accused OF many mysterious
things ever since they were huis'ed
on totem poles aa.l worshpped by
Pharaoh and brother Egyptians. The
latest discovery is thai OF L beo.le
that eats lead.
Instances in which the little lead
eaters have been caught in the act
are so few that naturalists are now
seeking more specimens. At present,
the head of we'll known academy Of
natural science is making a study Of
a we'll preserved specimen which was
recently found in the fuse of tele-
phone in Chicago.
The first know instance of the work
OF this beetle was in Australia. 1t
either bored or ate a hole through
the lead armor Of telephone cable.
Another specimen was found in tele.
phone cable in California.
Attacks Telephone Fuse.
A telephone user in Chicago COM
planned recently that his telephone
was in trouble. Upon examination it
was found that the fuse was open.
The only clue to the cause was sew
eral larvae lying inside the fuse--the
larVa is that stage in the development
OF an insect Immediately following
the egg stage. These small, she'll
like forms were left in the fuse and
watched closely until one of them
developed into small beetle about
half an inch in lCngth. For purposes
Of observation, the beetle, with the
fuse, was placed in a glass jar. 1t
