Visitors to the Zoo just now are taking an interest in the Insect House, where some very wonderful new arrivals are being studied by naturalists (says the London Daily Express). The Goliath beetle, from South America, would send a British housemaid into hysterics. Its body, arranged almost clerically in black and white, is nearly five inches long. It is not poisonous, nor is it intentionally ferocious, but there is a spot between the neck and shoulders which acts like a vice. A finger placed in this aperture would be broken at once, and recently a keeper who inserted a key in “ the junction,” found that “Goliath” had bent the key merely by shrugging his shoulders. This great beetle is an inexpensive guest, as he only feeds on fruit which is absolutely rotten. WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS is absolately pure; a pleasant tonic-beverage.
