HOME OF DEALY SCORPION
Region In Mexico That 10 Avoided by
Travellers for q Most Excellent
Reason.

Revolutionary bands and brigands
may ride up and down Mexico. but
there is one strip Of territory that even
the hardest and most daring Of them
will not brave. H Is a desert country
that extends from point near the city
of Durango to the borders Of the state
Of Zacatecas, about seventy-fve miles
long by fifty miles wide. 1t Is as.
serted that myriads Of scorpions infest
this region and are the most deadly Of
the species.
In the city Of Durango, although re-
garded as outside Of the more deadly
zone, the death rate. due TO scorpion
stings, Is high. This Is especially true
as to children. The alachrane. as the
insect Is commonly called, is regarded
as such a deadly pest that for many
years the municipal government has
paid a bounty Of one centavo. eQuiva-
lent to about onehalf cent Of Ameri-
can money, for each one killed and
delivered to the official custodian Of
dead scorpions. Something like 1OO,-
600 Of the scorpions are killed and
bounty paid for them annually.
Killing scorpions Is a regular indus.
try with many men, women and chill
dren Of Durango. One Is told that
some Of the natives even go 30 far as
to establish regular colonies Of the
poisonous insects in their homes for
the purpose Of breeding them for the
market.

Domesday Book.

a large folio and a quarto, and gives
the name Of every proprietor Of land

of England, except Northumberland

Of WestmOreland, was included In the
survey. The DOmesday Book was for

AirpIane Has Its Limits.

The officials Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture have been In
receipt of many suggestions relative
to eXtinguishing forest fires with the
use of gas bombs dropped from air
planes that It has been found neces-
Sary to issue n statement for the pur-
pose Of explaining that the scheme Is
not feasible. For the purpose Of over
coming a detachment Of men, mix
ture Of one part of virulent poison to
1000, 900 Of air would be entirely suf-
fcient to accomplish the purpose, but
one Of 750 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
contlagration. Another thing to be
taken into consideration Is the diff
Guilty Of dropping the bombs with the
necessary precision. The art Of strk-
ing a target with any degree Of ac-
curacy has not been developed at this
time, and there Is no prospect that 1t
will be sufficiently perfected to the
point Of becoming available for the
purpose Of fighting fires.
