"The Butterfly on the Wheel"

Those who attended the performance
Wednesday evening of The Butterfly on
the Wheel were well rewarded for the
play is cleverly staged and all characters
We're well interpreted. Charlotte Lillard
as Mrs. Admission, the social butterfly
wife OF a member of the British Parlia-
ment, carried the part to perfection and
was ably supported by John j. Flanagan
as the Rt. Hon. George Admission, NJ. p.
Alexander Lotus as Lord Ellerdine was
excellent in the comedy end of the cast
The play is exceedingly we'll staged,
the first and second acts being laid in the
Admission apartments at the Hotel des
Tuileries, Paris. Act three is filled with
dramatic art. Mrs. Admission is brought
into the divorce court for an indiscretion
which is in itself trivial and subjected
TO a cruel series of questioning which
results in a collapse of the frail woman
Act " is laid at the Admission home
and the whole situation is cleared.

SCORPION STINGS.
Unless Prompt Treatment Follows tho
Bite Will End the Life.

Four thousand persons are reported
to die each year in Mexico from the
stings of scorpions.
There are several varieties of scor-
pions in Mexico, some of them exceed
ingly venomous and others little fear
ed. In the neighborhood of Topic the
virulent Centuris gracilis abounds, but
it is little known about the more north
ern state of Sonora. 1t is one of the
most venomous creatures in the world.
In the small city of Durango scor-
pions are perhaps more plentiful and
more dangerous than anywhere else in
the republic. Here the climate is HUI
mid and torrid-it is in the TERRA
caliente"-and it is estimated that
more than 10000 scorpions are killed
each year with no appreciate effect
on their numbers.
A scorpion resembles a diminutive
lobster. Some specimens are eight
inches long, though the average
length is from two to four inches. The
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-04-02

claws closely resemble a lobster's;
with them the scorpion brushes its
prey after disabling 1t by means of
a sting.
The body of a scorpion consists OF
several Segmented joints, the last hive
or more narrowing down to form the
tail, which curls up forward over the
body and terminates in the sting. This
businesslike appendage is horny
sharp spine containing two little open
ings which connect with the venom
gland within the shell of the last seq
ment. In striking the scorpion gives
the tail d rapid flashing motion forward
in advance of the body and literally
administers a hypodermic injection of
poison, or rather several injections,
for it usually stings repeatedly when
it does strike.
In color scorpions vary according to
environment. One ordinarily colorless
or translucent will assume a brown
or blackish shade in dark surround
ings. Scorpions live in the cracks of
the sun baked clay, under stones, in
the chinks of the adobe huts and in
the cracks in the plaster of old frame
houses They prey upon spiders and
other night marauding insects. A spi-
der stung by a scorpion may be OBJ
served undergoing commissions before
death just as animals or human beings
do.
Unless sleeping cots are we'll screen
ed and supports immersed in cans of
kerosene or carbolc acid-water evap-
crates too rapidly-the proving scor-
pion may find its way beneath the
bed covers and sting the restless child.
BY nature it is a nocturnal pest. In
Mexico every one takes a peep in the
toe of his shoe before dressing in the
morning to assure himself that no
undesirable citizen is hiding there.
Contrary TO common belief scorpions
never commit suicide by singing them
selves to death-at least not in Mexico.

Here's another incident that gives
evidence of the approach Of spring
Shortly after / O'Clock Wednesday
noon pedestrians of Water street were
startled by series of loud explosions
Closer investigation revealed the fact
that Can't Charles Thomas was just
leaving the Eastern steamship wharf
in his power boat, the Susie" and
with a man laborfously concentrating
his efforts to the manipulation of
hand-p pump in the cockpit, Capt
Thomas took little cruise in an en-
deavor to swell up the cracks and
seams in the hull. And it's the gem
eral opinion that Capt Thomas can
claim the distinction of being the first
one on the Kennehec in a power boat
this spring, as it was only in the morn
ing that the ice went wholly out or
the river.
Wednesday night the river was clear
to a point opposite Louden hill, where
the lam had not broken up. However,
al the rate the ice disappeared on
Wednesday, it will only be matter OF
a few days, before the river VIII be
free from any signs of winter.

Locals Of Interest Here

Mrs. Angelina Galizia was arraigned
before Judge Emery o. Beane in the
municipal court Wednesday morning
charged with illegal sale" of intoxi-
eating liquors, the result of a search
and seizure at her residence on the
corner of Warren and Winthrop
streets early Tuesday evening by sew
eral deputies.
The respondent was represented by
Melvin H. Simmons of Augusta and
through counsel entered a plea of not
guilty. Witnesses for the State were
first heard, the gist of their testi-
mony being relative to the discovery or
the contraband goods consisting of
three quarts of wkiskey and three
empty whiskey bottles, also key or
ale, and a 50galon key of wine, which
was not taken, as it was not in Mrs.
Galizia's name). Testimony for the
defence was that the whiskey was for
Mrs. Galizia's personal use, while the
wine was claimed by one Lois Allio,
and the ale by one Molinari, both of
whom were boarders at the Galizia
home.
Testimony for the State was insufH-
cient of convicting evidence, with the
result that the prisoner was acquitted

yet the victor does not die. He tearS
his antagonist into small pieces with
his claws and voraciously devours ev-'
cry trace of the vanquished foe. And
the cannibal thrives on the diet.
Some scorpion bites cause little more
than burning pain and numbness in
the part affected for a few days. But
the more poisonous varieties cause
death, and that speedily, especially
when they sting young children or de-
bilitated old people. The lower classes
of people suffer more than the well-to-
do because of their custom of going
about half naked most of the time.
In serious cases the local numbness
and pain or burning extend over the
body in few hours. Then follows
feeling as of a ball in the throat, the
victim clutching his throat as though
choking or a foreign body. Prompt
treatment at this stage will usually
save life.
