SCORPIONS AND FIRE.
The Poisonous Animals Are Particu-
IarIy Sensitive to Heat.


An interesting question has from
time to time been discussed by natu-
ralists and psychologists, as to whether
the scorpion commits suicide by sting
ing himself with his own vcnomous
dart. Experiments have often been
made, which consist in surrounding
the scorpion with circle of fire, usual
ly formed of small pieces Of burning
Goals.
One may then see the animal agitate
his tail in the air, waving his dart to
and fro over his head in desperate
movement and finally fall dead, APP
pearing to have decided that he could
not escape the flames and to have in
Oculated himself with his own venom.
This idea is now, however, found to be
erroneous, as it has been proved that
the scorpion is not affected by his own
venomous fluid, and the hypothesis of
his suicide cannot be maintained. 1t
appears from later observations made
upon the death Of the scorpion under
the conditions in question that more
simple explanation is to be found. @
Scorpions are, in fact, sensitive to
heat and are easily killed by Il temper
ature not exceeding 80 degrees cent?
grade. If one concentrate the solar
rays upon scorpions back by means
Of lens, one may observe that he tries
by means of his tail to remove the
cause of discomfort. 1t is this move
ment of defense which has hitherto
been mistaken for one. Of suicide, and
in reality the scorpion has been killed
by the heat to which he has been eX-
posed under such circumstances

deal of whenever he visited my home.
He was Il most interesting man and
perfectly wonderful with his peculiar

SIN connection with his ability to

dinner in one of the clubs here, and,
the conversation turning naturally on
palming as a fine art, Hermann was
asked by fellow diner If he could
palm quart bottle Of champagne.

magician pulled up the sleeve Of his

is impossible, for the body of the bottle
is of too great girth for the wrist to
conceal. and a portion will project on
one side or the other or on both sides,
as the case may be. The only way
can think of to dispose of bottle Of
champagne is to do as l now do with
this one--throw 1t at that waiter over

Shutting the action to the word, he
apparently hurled the bottle with great
force at waiter standing near the 9th

Half a Dog.


Gently and said, "My name is
: Tompkins. I called to see you
about dog difficulty that bewil-
ders me, and thought maybe
you might throw some light on
it. Might give me the law points,
SOS I'd know whether it was
worth while sueing or not.
"We1, you see me and Potts
went into partnership on a dog;
we bought him. He was a set
ter. and Potts and went shares
in him, SOS to take him out shoot
ing. It was never exactly settled
which half owned or which half
belonged to Potts; but | formed
an idea in my own mind that the
hind end was mine and the front
end Potts. Consequence was,
that when the dog barked | al
ways said:
There goes Potts half ex-
ercising himself.
"When the dogs tail wagged |
always considered that my end
was being agitated, and, of course,
when one OF my hind legs scratch
ed one of Potts ears or one OF
his shoulders, I was perfectly
satisfied; first, because that sort
of thing would get about even
when Potts head would reach
round and snap fly on my shoul-
ders.
"We11, things went along
smoothly enough for while, un-
til one day that dog began to get
into the habit of running round
after his tail. He was the most
foolish dog l ever saw. Used to
chase his tail round and round
until he'd get so giddy he couldn't
bark, and you know l was fright
ened lest it might hurt the dog
health, and as Potts didn't seem
willing to keep his end from Cir
culating in pursuit of my end, l
/ made up my mind to chop the
dogs tail off, SOS to make him
reform and behave.
$50 last Saturday ] caused the
dog to back up against a log, and
then suddenly dropped the ak
on his tail pretty well up, and the
next minute he was running
round the yard howling like a
boatload Of wild cats. Just then
Potts came up and made remarks
because I'd cut off that tail.
Zone word brought onanother,
and pretty soon Potts set the dog
on me-half mine too, mind you
and the dog bit me in the leg.
About half a pound gone; eat up
by that dog.
Now, what | want to see you
about IS this, can't recover dam
ages for assault and battery from
Potts? What | chopped off be-
longed to me, recollect. l owned
an individual half in~ that setter
pup, from the tip of his tail right
4 up to his third rib, and | had a
right to cit away as much of 1t
as | had a mind to; while Potts
being sole owner of the dog S
head is responsible when he
bites anyone or when he barks
at night. "
II don't know" replied the
lawyer, musingly, "there haven t
been any decisions on cases ex-
actly like this, but what does MI.
Potts say about the subject?"
"Why, Potts view is that I di-
vided the dog the wrong way.
When he wants to map out his
half he draws a line from the
head to the tail. That gives me
one hind leg and one fore leg, and
makes him joint proprietor in the
tail. And he says that if I want
ed to cut off my half of the tail l
might have done it, and he
wouldn't have cared; but what
made him mad was that l wasted
