SCORPIONS AND CENTlPEDES.
Their Stlngs Are Not So Dangerous as Is
Popularity Believed.

wv dSnlnBtOu Sldr.)
mo, / don't believe that the sting Of
any scorpion would kill a human being,
save. perhaps, under extraordinary con-
dltions. In southern ATTITUDES wounds OF
any kind are more dangerous than in
cooler climates, and the setting In OF
fever may produce fatal results"
The speaker was DR.. George Marx, or
Washington, who Is recognized as the
greatest authority on arachnids In this
country.
Scorpions are tropical animals" he
added They do not get very far north.
They live under the bark of long-leaved
pines in the northern part OF their range,
and, inasmuch as trees Of that Kind DO
not occur In this vicinity, they nnd no
suitable domicile hereabouts. Such pines
grow in Baltimore county, Md, ana SO
a species OF scorpion exists there IL Is
yellow with brown stripes, ana measures
about 2 inches in lengeth.
1.-The biggest scorpions In the world are
those OF India, which attain length OF
inches. In California scorpions IL
inches long are found. They are the
largest that occur in America. Between
them and the smallest species are many.
The sting of a small one is about as Sc
we're as that Of a wasp, and the enects Oh
il soon pass.
'rhe scorpion carries It's tall over It's
back and snaps IL backward for the pur-
pose of inficting sting. II has two pol
son glands side by side In the last
Joint of its tail. II Is said that scorpions
will commit suicide by singing themselves
to death when they are put into a circle
OF burning charcoal. l don't know wheth-
er this Is true or not; the question mas
not been cleared up.
Scorpions live on on beetle larvae ana
slow-running insects. They conceal them
selves under the bark of trees In the day
time and pursue their prey at night. Inc
whip-tailed scorpons-so called because Oh
a peculiar appendage OF which the use Is
not known-are not poisonous For the
purpose OF defence they squirt fine streams
OF a fluid that smells like vinegar. Doubt
less II Is offensive to some OF their ene-
mics"
Every now and then one reads In the
newspapers a frightful story about cen
tipede. According 10 these accounts the
animal is jLst a bit more dangerous than
a rattlesnake. Not Only Is its bite fatal.
but II carries poison In the little claws
with which its numerous legs are termi-
mated. Crawling over a mans bare nesn,
IL burns like fire. To move Is death, for
then the creature will dig Its envenomed
feet into the victim, who will presently
be reduced to the condition Of loath-
some and bloated corpse.
All Of this Is purest fable.
An expert In centip aJes Is attactet
to the Smithsonian Institution. He Knows
all about the creatures. and 10 says that
the bite Of one OF these animals y less
poisonous than the sting Of the scorpion.

Hit Was Fair.

Quite a number Of Richmond cranks
welt over TO Petersburg yesterday to see
the game Of ball. and returned last night
loud In their denunciation OF the treat
ment that had been accorded Frank Duke.
They say that his decisions were fair and
impartial. and that the action OF the
Cockade rooters in interfering with him
was altogether unwarranted.
In conversation with Dispatch man
last night, one OF the Richmonders said
that from the start until the finish OF
the game the behavior Of the spectators
was far from what 1t should have been.
They openly accused Mr.. Duke Of rank
partially, and several times the cries Of

UMPIRE LUKe'S DECISIONS.
lie IL Honest, Say the Petersburg Roo'ers,
But Ignorant.


PETERSBURG, VA, July 9-(Special)
The game between Norfolk and Peters
burg was stopped In the fifth inning,
when the score stood IL to In favor OF
Norfolk. The cause OF the game being
stopped was that the spectators crowded
on the field, and took possession Of the
grounds, and Captain Kelly, of the Peters
burg team, being dissatisfied with the
umpiring of Mr.. Frank Duke. Of Rich
mond, who had come over especially to
umpire these games While no one ques-
tions the honesty of Mr.. Duke, his de-
cisions as rendered this afternoon proved
him ignorant Of the rules that govern the
game, and his errors were all attributed
10 poor judgment on his part, and not
to any desire TO do an intentional wrong.
The crowd stood the umpiring of Mr..
Duke until the last part of the NTH
inning, when the bases were all filled, and
Collihower. at the bat, knocked the ball
over the rght-feld fence.
THE LAST STRAW.
The ball disappeared over the fence just
at the foul-line, and Umpire Duke called
IL fair This was the straw that broke
the cameTs back. and the crowd. with 4
shout, cried: Leave the grounds and give
Norfolk the game" and started toward
the gates and onto the field, and as Cap
tain Kelly called his men OFF Umpire
Duke. after waiting the time allowed by
the rules, awarded the game TO Norfolk
9 10 0. While the action OF the crowd
is generally condemned, still there are
great many more who condemn Presi-
dent Sommers for not having an official
umpire present. as the matter of selecting
umpires for this league was left en-
tirely with him, and II was his duty 10
have one here on this occasion. Norfolk
certainly outplayed and outbatted Peters
burg. and would have won the game
with any umpire. Collifower was the
star batter in the game. making three
home runs out OF four times at the bat.
