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. —Theodore ltoosevelt in The Century. 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.— New York Evening Sun. Surgrcons in Disguise.
