Oddities of Animals and Gotham News Bits
Oddities of animals range from spotted dogs and cats with contrasting tail colors to spiders and fireflies lighting paths. The piece notes horned beetles lifting weights, live bees shipped on ice, and foxes using moss to rid themselves of fleas, with New York Herald sourcing from Havana to Mexico. It zigzags into Gotham’s pointed-beard club and ex-boss McKane, then shifts to a Detroit Free Press vignette about a house visit, two religions, and neutral politicking amid a night’s narrator travel.
