White goats have been known to hum
era ever since Lewis and Clarka crossed
the continent, but they have always
ranked as the very rarest and most diffi¬
cult to get of all American game. This
reputation they ow e to the nature ol their
haunte, rather than to their own wariness,
for they have been to little disturbed that
they ore less shy than either deer or
sheep. They are found here and there
on the highest, most iaacoesrible moun¬
tain peaks down even to Arizona and
New Mexico; but being fitted for cold
climates, soutli they are extremely scarce every¬
where of Montana and northern
Idaho, and the great majority even of
tho most experienced hunter* have hardly
so much as heard of their existence. In
Washington territory, northern Idaho
and northwestern Montana they are not
uncommon, and are plentiful in ports of
the mountain ranges of British America
and Alaska. Their preference for the
highest peaks is due mainly to their dis¬
like of wav and in the north—even
south of the > nadian line—they are
found mu h lov down the mountains
than is the '3se ' thcr south.
They vt.y conspicuous animals,
with their .ow white coats and polished
black lior: 3, but their pursuit necessitates in
so much toil ar.d hardship that not one
ten’of the professional hunters has ever
killed one; and I know of but one or two
eastern sportsmen who can boast a goat 3
head as a trophy. But this will soon
cease to be the case, for the Canadian
Pacific railway has opened the haunts of
where the goats are most plentiful, and
any moderately adventurous and hardy
rifleman can be sure of getting one by
taking a little ' and that, too,
whether he is a — J hunter or not,
since at present the game is not difficult
to approach. The white goat will be
common long after the elk has varffibed,
and it has already outlasted the buffalo.

A Beetle in Harness.
Not long since many newspaper para¬
graphs were ct: rnt about a pretty beetle
which tho sou . i ladies were in the
habit of weari. ; ■> the corsage, where
it crawled at held by a tiny gold
chain. This beetle is the maqueche. It
is perfectly inoffensive, has no odor and
does not deface or stain the most delicate
fiber. The adjusting of the golden har¬
ness is a nice operation, tho metal being
soldered on it The harness consists of
a girdle about the insect’s waist—between
the thorax and the abdomen—to which
above and below is joined a slender band
passing over the posterior portion of the
body, longitudinally, while a small chain
is attached to this harness by a little
staple, which chain terminates in a hock
or pin to fasten in the bodice.
By many Mexicans the insect is re¬
garded as an amulet or masoot, and is
usually highly prized by foreigners when
obtainable. Parties who have owned in¬
sects of this kind have often attempted to
maintain them on sugar and water, but
the beetles always perished in a short
time. But if fed on decayed wood, which
is their natural food, they may be kept
alive and thriving for more than a year.
The wing covers or shell of the beetle
is exceedingly hard. Its color is a light
chocolato shade, and when full grown it
is about an inch and a half long. It has
been stated that this beetle can cut
through soft metal, and this fact is one
of the most Interesting about it. When
placed in a glass jar covered by a thin
pewter lid ft has been known after a few
hours of chipiping and cutting to make a
hole sufficiently largo to allow it to pass
through. Specimens of this insect and
tho cut metal *wero shown at a recent
meeting of the Microscopical society.—
