.CENTIpEDES A FOOT LONG
Giant Insects Of the Tropics Have
Forty-Two Feet, and Every
Claw Is Poisonous.

The giant centipede of Trinidad and
Venezuela Is sometimes foot long,
and can do very serious harm. Its
foremost pair Of feet are modified into
supplementary jaws, which are fang
like, and may inflict a powerful bite;
Furthermore, each has poison gland
at its base, that sends into the wound
venom deadly to small creatures,
and very painful even to mankind
Moreover the sharp claw of each Of
the AZ feet is poisonous likewise, so
that when the animal crawls over the
soft skin Of the human arm, it leaves
trail of red, infamed spots. It is
dangerous to knock the centipede off,
for instantly the creature drives the
claws more deeply into the flesh, and
sends a greater amount of venom
into each puncture; it may also take
hold with its jaws.
When the centipede seizes its prey,
or is itself caught by an enemy, it
coils itself round its antagonist, and
grips it tenaciously with all its legs.
Many myriapods are brightly banded
with black and yellow, contrasting
tints that show conspicuously against
the dark soil Of the forests where
they abound. The giant centipede is
shining mahogany brown, with the
legs blush ana ringed with yellow

CONGRESS IN SESSION
AGAIN

After q short recess during which
national election has changed the po-
litical aspect of the country, the Sixty
third congress has reconvened for a
session that will automatically end on
March 4, next. The Sixtythird con-
gress has already established a re-
markable record. Not only has it been
in session an unprecedented number
of days, but it has passed number
of measures Of the most vital impor-
tance to the nation. Incidentally this
congress has spent many more mil
lions of the peoples money than any
previous congress. For the next three
months it's time and attention will be
given very largely to unfinished busi-
ness Of a routine nature. although
there are several measures catalogued
as belonging to the presidents "pro-
gramme" that must be disposed of.
The administration today faces con
ditions fundamentally different from
those Of a year ago. Then it had only
begun making it's record. Then the
effects Of the democratic tariff bill
had not begun to be felt Throughout
the whole extent of the nation there
was lively and for the most part sym
pathetic curiosity as to the effects
that would follow the Inauguration Of
the democratic policies A year ago
she country was ardently hoping that
President Wilson would make good.
Many believed, it is Uue. that the tar
Iff would necessarily fail as a prosper
ity factor but they were quite willing
to be convinced that their judgment
was wrong. Considerable uneasiness
was felt by President Wilson himself,
as was clearly manifested by his ad-
vance excuses and threats against any
sone who should start false panic. /"
Now the democratic congress reas-
sembles under ratner melancholy cir
4cumstances. AS a result of the failure
of the new tariff the country is paying
a "war tax to make up a national
revenue deficit. The federal reserve
Banking system has not been in work
kng order long enough to establish its
success. although there are indications
shat it will prove to be the most ben
eeficial il not the only beneficial meas
ure enacted by the present congress.
The country has registered at the
polls its disapproval Of the admins
xration's policies in way that leaves
aittIe room for doubt that the republi-
can party will be returned to power in
1916. Therefore the present atmo-
sphere Of the capitol IL none too
cheerful. Failure has been written
ia large letters upon most Of the work
of the sixty.third congress. What re-
mains to be done cannot possibly Off
set the bad record already made The
administration being regarded now as
y sinking ship, the president can
