The sight of a full grown centiped is
said by travellers in tropical lands to be
enough to affect the strongest nerves.
Ten to eleven inches is the average
length, although larger ones have been
seen. Lafcadio Hearn in 1.-TWO Years
In the French West Indies" says that
the vitality of the centiped is amazing.
Mr.. Hearn kept one in a bottle, with
out food or water, for thirteen weeks,
at the end Of which time it remained
active and dangerous as ever. The
centiped has one natural enemy able to
cope with him-the hen.
The hen attacks him with delight and
often swallows him, head first, without
taking the trouble to kill him. The cat
hunts him, but sheais careful never to
put her head near him. She has a trick
of whirling him round and round upon
the floor so quickly as to stupefy him;
then, when she sees good chance, she
strikes him dead with her claws.
There are superstitions concerning
the creature which have a good effect
in diminishing his tribe. If you kill a
centiped, you are sure to receive money
soon, and even if you dream of killing
one it is good luck.
