ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OP THE GLOBE. 



THE November number of "The Border," published at Phoenix, 

 zona, contains a very interesting sketch of Dr. R. E. Kunze, the en- 

 tomologist and botanist. The title of the article is "The Cactus Man." 



"My little dog has fleas." the woman cried. 



"Do give me something that will cure them, please." 

 And then the silly drug store clerk replied : 



"What seems to be the matter with the fleas?" 



THE coming summer promises to be a very interesting one in Europe. 

 The First International Entomological Congress will be held in Brus- 

 sels from the first to the sixth of August. At this time the Interna- 

 tional Exposition will be held in the same city. 



MORE UNNATURAL HISTORY. "The sting of some insects will kill a 

 gold fish in almost every instance. 'Snake feeders' and other insects 

 fly close to the water in summer, and, when the tiny fish rise to the 

 surface of the pond, as is their habit, an egg is laid, or a sting inserted, 

 by one of these watchful insects. Either of these inflictions is fatal. "- 

 "The Popular Magazine," October, 1909, page 89.
