THE TUMBLE BEETLE.
Traveler* tell iih lluti they find chis
eled on the temples, tombs aud , olie
lisks tlmtv lie scattered along the hiinks
<?f the Nile. innumerable sculptured
images of a very orUluury, every -day
looking kind of a beetle. The <?1<1
Egyptians of the misty past, studied
tlie habits a ii< I l if<? history of tills in*
dustrtous Insect, and saw In It enough
to cause them to regard It with rever
aftce. Tliey marveled at the care it
bestowed on the preservation of a sin
pie egg; they watched Its seeming
death and hurtal, and its coming forth
again, and this bug. for it was nothing
but a bug,, was taken as the emblem
of fecudity, and the symbol of the
resurrection.
? So we find Its sculptured Image "mul
tiplied to intiuity, on all the monu
ments of the Pharacflis, from the mouth
of the king of rivers to the heart of
Nubia." Plutarch says that a carved,
image of tills l>ceHe was ?idopt(Hl as
the official seal of the military caste
of Egypt. The efligy of this "bug of the
big road,'' was rei>ented in a thousand
different ways, and of every possible
material, from rough granite to piffrft
gold. They w?*re made in prodigious
quantities, and are found today among
the wrappings of mummies, and In the
dust of tJWe saroopbagi. In the British
Museum are specimens of colossal size,
cat from stone, and measuring three
and four feet in length. The small
ones wiere used as charms, or talis
mans, and also strung as necklaces.
From the number found they must j
have been about the most common ob
ject in the dally life of the Egyptians.
The fad of carving an 1oaag?- aft this ;
bttgr an the jewelry of that day did not
die with the builders of the pyramid#,
but still exists, and today this same
oid bug stares at us from watch
.charaos, seal rings and bracelets. Now,
I do not think for a moment that the
scarab beetle, who has been immortal
ised by the paintings and sculptor of
aver three thousand years, is a creat
ure at the past I*> not imagine that
*Jn<m i y found in the abode of musty
mtuntafet and in the dust of ancient
ttatfba, tor it is yet with us, and work
ing just aa hard as ever It labored in
the hot sands of ancient Egypt.
The reason we do not recognize hkn
Is that in our democratic way we fail
to regard him its anything o*i>oolnHy
