Bill Nye's Dog Entomologist,
While on his recent lecturing ttourr r Bill Nye told a pathetic story of a dog that he owned out West, called Entomologist. " I called him Entomologist, said he, because I had heard an entomologist was one who bad a collection of rare and curious insects. This dog had the best collection I had ever seen. Entomologist was always eating things that ■»c came across when we were oat together, ar.d then coming home and regretting it. One day he happened on some fresh mixeri plaster of Paris. He had never seen any of that bef 01 c, so he ate quite a lot of it. . . . I sat np with him all night, bnfc I could do nothing, and when the dawn was breaking, little Entomologist cm-led up and died. I have now on my desk at home a jagged white paper weight which bears this inscription : ' Plaster Cast of Entomologist. Interior View.. Taken by Himself/"
