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 n 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 II 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 she Is 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 q good chance, she
strikes him dead with her claws.
There are superstitions concerning
the creature which have a good effect
in diminishing his tribe. IT you kill a
centiped. you are sure to receive money
soon, and even II you dream OF killing
one 1t Is good luck.

Mucilage Betrayed Him.

Some time ago a registered package
sent from the New York p%ostofice,
containing a large sum Of money, was
received at its destination apparently
intact, but on being opened was found
to contain nothing but waste paper.
Suspicion could not be directed to any
one clerk of the many who had handled
it. The inspector had often noticed
that the glue used at each p~ostoffice
had an odor distinguishable from that
Of any other. He investigated along
this line and was finally rewarded
when in an Office near the destination
Of the. package he discovered an iden.
tity of smell between the registered
package and a gluepot on the counter
He caused a watch to be set upon the
clerks in the office in the usual way
and finally caught his man spending q
portion Of his ill gotten gains.
