Ceyion Scorpions.

VI 1o,usbisyt Euu.u
A more disagreeaple opsecr than u
scorpion of Ceylon it would be difficult
to imagine. Although as a rule it does
not measure more than seven inches in
length, there is a species found in the
woods that are longer than a foot. They
crawl out of some dried wood, and, TAX
ing up their position on a convenient
| rock or stone, look, as they hold their
great jointed sting curved over their
| backs and their claws held aloft, the
very picture of aggressive warfare.
Here they stretch themselves in the boil
ing sun and wait their prey. These are
the small, beautiful honeybirds that
dart from flower to flower, and take the
place Of the hummingbirds of the west.
AS one approaches, the scorpion seems
to shrink into the stone until it becomes
almost imperceptible. Suddenly the
great insect will raise its claws and
dart at its beautiful victim, which in
a moment Is destroyed.-Chicago News

Pacific Island in state Of Eruption.

racine lsianu IN Sthto OF Eruption.
The island OF Soccorro, 400 miles of
the Mexican coast, is in a state of erup-
ton. Two months ago, which is the
latest date that news was received of the
island, lava was running down the
mountain sides, overlooking the low
lands and travelling to the sea. The
news came in a letter to the hydro
graphic Office from the schooner Tampa.
Capt. Peterson of the vessel spoke the
Danish bark Schwalde of Guayamas,
which reported having passed Soccorro
On March 20. The sky and sea were
filled with ashes miles away from the
island and the blazing mountain was
first made out at night. 1t was a mag
ni6cent sight, the Danish captain said,
but he did not dare venture too near OH
account of the troubled condition of the
ocean.-Chicago News.

especially the interests of wood pulp
manufacturers, which it is claimed that
the proposed legislation would cripple.
W. ii. Gannott of Augusta, publisher
of Comfort" states that the bill is a
measure of the Postoffice Department to
prevent poor. financial showing. He
thinks that the bill strikes at every news
paper in the country because it would cut
them off from sending sample copies ex
cept at increased rates of postage, He is
not personally interested at present be-
cause he is not issuing books with paper
covers. Mr.. Gannett adds his belief that
the bill is urged by publishers who favor
higher prices and that it has been rushed
along ii the House without giving repre-
sentatives of millions of invested capital
an oppor tunIty to be heard. John T.
Hill of Vlckery & Hill Of Augusta. also
makes plea against the bill and re-
quests that everything honorable be done
at least to modify the present provisions.
