The Venom of the Deadly Specios, Un
lees Prompt Treatment Follows the
Bite, Will End the Life of the Viotim
In Twelve or Fourteen Hours.
Four thousand |h'Pmoiis 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 feared.
In the neighborhood of Topic the viru
lent Centuris gracilis abounds, but it
Is little known about tho more north
ern state ot Sonora. It is one of the
most venomous creatures in the world.
In the small city of Durango scor
pions are perhaps more plentiful nnd
more dangerous than anywhere else in
the republic. Hero tho climate is hu
mid and torrid—it is in the “tlerrn
calientc"—nnd it is estimated that more
than 150,000 scorpions are killed each
year, with no appreciable effect on
their nhmbers.
A scorpion resembles n diminutive
lobster. Some specimens are eight
inches long, though the average length
1b from two to four inches. The claws
closely resemble n lobster’s; with them
the scorpion crushes its prey after dis
abling it by menus of a sting.
The body of a scorpion consists of
several segmented Joints, the last five
or more narrowing down to form the
tail, which curls up forwnrd over the
body and terminates in the sting. This
businesslike appendage Is a horny,
sharp spine containing two little open
ings which connect with the venom
gland within the shell of the last seg
ment. In striking the scorpion gives
the tail a rapid lashing 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 vnry according to
environment One ordinarily colorless
or translucent will assume a brown or
blackish shade In dark surroundings.
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 spider stung by
a scorpion may be observed under
going convulsions before death just as
animals or human beings do.
Unless sleeping cots are well screen
ed nnd the supports immersed in cans
of kerosene or carbolic acid—water
evaporates too rapidly—the prowling
scorpion may find Jts way beneath tho
bed covers and sting the restless child.
By nature It is a nocturnal pest. In
Mexico every one takes a peep in tho
toe of his shoe before dressing in the
morning to assure himself that no un
desirable citizen is biding there.
Contrary to common belief scorpions
never commit suicide by stinging them
selves to death—at least not In Mexico.
In fact they seem immune to their
own venom. Two well matched speei-
ments will battle to death If confined
in a jar. stinging each other repeated
ly, yet the victor does not die. He
tears his antagonist into small pieces
with his claws and voraciously de
vours every trnce 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 cla-sses
of people suffer more than the well
to do because of their custom of going
about half naked most of the time.
In serious eases the loCfll numbness
and pain or burning extend over the
body in a few hours. ^Thon follows a
feeling as of a ball In the throat, the
victim clutching his throat as though
choking on a foreign body. Prompt
treatment at this stage will usually
save life.
If not treated the mouth soon begins
to froth and the eyes become reddened
nnd hypersensitive to light. Within an
hour or two the breathing grows short
er and more difficult, the body turns
blue, the pulse falls and convulsions
set in. The convulsions recur fre
quently during several hours, but com
plete relaxation usually ushers in the
end.
Fortunately unconsciousness devel
ops early, so that the victim does not
suffer the tortures of one dying from
lockjaw. The average time required
for a scorpion sting to cause death Is
twelve or fourteen hours.
The treatment of scorpion fting con
sists of a free incision of the part to
promote copious bleeding, then vigor
ous massage toward the bleeding cen
ter for half an hour or more. Stimu
lants—meaning drugs nnd not that
pseudo stimulant, alcohol—are also nec
essary.
In villages where physicians are
wanting the treatment Is applied by
“prneticantes”—Ignorant self constitut
ed healers, and many a peon carries
horrible scars from the prncUcante's
crude surgery. Their reckless use of
carbolic acid. Iodine and similar poi
sons also accounts for many otherwise
avoidable fatalities among victims of
scorpion stings.—New York Sun.

AFRAID OF THE DENTIST?
Here Are Some Hints That May Help
You Through Your Ordeal.
Everybody dreads the dentist. Tho
bravest heart quails lit the thought of
the man with the force]*. One who
has been through many trying experi
ences with the dentist and who lias
made a study of efficiency in all direc
tions claims to have made some dis
coveries that ought to be helpful to
all. Here are some of his suggestions.
Your Hlcge In the dentist chair will be
greatly lightened if you will remember
a few things;
Keep the throat moist by gargling
from time to time us you sit in the
chair with water mixed With some an
tiseptic preparation of an ordinary
character such 11s every dentist 1ms at
hand.
It is not a bad idea before you go to
a dentist to take a bit of chewing gum
in the mouth to promote a free flow
of saliva. If the gum has a flavor,
that will bo helpful and will check the
tendency to dryness of the throat and
tile tickling sensation that follows.
Carry a large handkerchief with per
fume or cologne on it. which you can
hold In your hand nnd inhale the
cologne whenever you have a mo
ment’s rest. You will find it very re
freshing. While the dentist is at work
the handkerchief will give your lin
gers something to clasp. This may
help to divert your attention from the
work on your teeth.
Believe the strain upon your thront
at every opportunity while the dentist
is changing Ills Instruments by lifting
your head from the chair—for even a
single moment—nnd taking a deep
breuth. Shut your eyes nnd think of
some problem, some particular friend
or of some one in whom you are deep
ly interested. This will divert your
thought from the dentist’s work.
Remember that most of the pain we
fear we can escape. In these days
dentistry is less painful than over be
fore. It will probably never be entire
ly painless, yet much of the work of
the dentist is now done without in
flicting pain, though, of course, it is
always unpleasant to have anj» one
operating with steel Instruments In
your mouth.
If a painful moment comes while
yon are sitting I a the chair you can re
lieve It instantly by taking a long
breath. Try It and see. — Leslie’s
Weekly.

Two Fo*" a Quarter.
He was smoking a line, lull flavored
Havana when he met Ills friend
"Have a cigar?" lie Inquired, very
politely.
“Thanks." said the other gratefully,
taking and lighting the proffered weed.
After a few experimental puffs, how
ever, the friend removed the cigar
from his lips and. looking at It doubt
fully, said, with a very evident abate
ment of gratitude in his tone;
“What do you pay for these cigars?”
"Two for u quarter,” said tho origi
nal proprietor of both weeds, taking
his own cigar out of his mouth and
looking at it with considerable satis
faction “This one cost me 20 cents
and that 5."
Tho conversation languished at tills
point—I’uck.
“Links” as Applied to Golf.
Spenklng of games, how many know
tho origin of the word "links” ns ap
plied to the (leld on which golf Is
played? The dictionary says that
“links" means stretch of sandy soil,
interrupted by heather. But it comes
from an old Saxon word “hline." which
means a ledge, an embankment, a
boundary. Malvern link nnd tho links
of St Andrews were there nnd some
body Invented a game to go with them.
