This Utile character, equipped wilh three silly horns on the top of his head, has no idea what Ihey are for. Neither do any ol Ihe rest of us. nut h is slur-It wilh them. and on him they look good. Of course, an ox would look just as ridiculous wilh three horns . . . two where they should bo and one long one in front. Just as peculiar is the so-called ox bcclle. Tlmi'o me nl least 12.0011 spe cies of beetles in Urn United Slates, and millions ol individ uals of each . . . all of which total up to what tho little boy said is "a mess of hugs." One of the larger species of beetles, of which the ox-beellc is one, always seems lo be hur rying from one place to another. The truth is the beetles seldom know where Ihey are going. The occasional glimpse we got of them happens when misfortune disrupts their normal way of life and reveals them to us. Ordinarily Ihey spend their timo in Ihe ground, or out of sight in leaves or decayed wood. Dislike Sunlight Ox beetles dislike sunlight. H caught in the open they exert every ellorl to get back under cover again. As undercover agents they have no equal. The big, black hectics wilh Ihe three horns are about the best ol the lot. Some people call old lliroc hnrn Ihc "rhinoceroiis beetle." They do resemble Ihc African animal in head adornment, even more than they resemble an ox. These ground-dwelling beetles are often 2Ki inches long. The males have three curved horns on tho head; Ihe females have only one the two smaller horns arc absent. The body of the ox heelle is dark brown, shiny and hard They have lour wings, although Ihe hard outer covers hide the real Hying wings. The outer w ings nrc raised nut of the way when Iho Insect is about lo lly. Tho flying wings are thin mem branes, and seldom visible un less the covers are raised. Purpose Unknown The exact purpose ol Ihe three horns is not definitely known. They probably give lo the bee lies a ferocious and dangerous appearance which causes their enemies lo slop and consider before launching an attack. Like nil beetles, the ox variety has six very slrong legs, each ol which is equipped with sharp, curving claws with which earth or rolling wood is loin apart when the beetles search lor food. The food consists mostly of olher insects, most of w hich are harmful lo man's crops or cul tivated plants.
