SCORPION’S SUICIDE.
Positive Evidence That the Creature
Does Kill Itself.
InatanceH In Which the Aet »f Self
Ofilrartlnn Wn. r.ml.UkaMj
W11 n cH.ed—AITecte4
by I.i*3it.
Lord Byron has referred to a tender
'•y >f tlie scorpion to commit suicide
when surrounded by fire. Naturally
enough, this has been regarded as a
poetic fiction; and a distinguished
writer has gone so far as to say that the
“popular idea regarding seorpionio
suicide is a delusion based on an impos
sibility.” The impossibility to which
this writer refers in this; 1'he sting of
the scorpion is in its tail, and the ter
mination of the tail is recurved, so that
it would reali> be impossible for the
scorpion to sting itself tn the under
part of its body. But it is not impos
sible for the sting to penetrate the back
or even the head; and there >s positive
evidence that in certain circumstance*
6he scorpion does commit suicide in
that way. This creature seems to be
unable to endure light; and when St is
exposed to light it seem* to become so
desperate as to end its torture with its
own sting. W. G. Biddie tells this in
cident, which he himself observed in
Madras, and which he communicated
to Nature:
“One morning a servant brought to
me a large specimen of scorpion, which,
having staid out too long in its noc
turnal rambles, had apparently got be
wildered at daybreak and been unable
to find its way home. To keep it safe,
the creature was at once put into a
glazed entomological case. Having a
few leisure minutes in the course of the
I* „ T i-l. l. . T -T .l i
my prisoner was getting on, and to
have a better vjew of it the ease was
placed in a window in the rays of the
hot sun. The light and heat seemed to
irritate it very much, and this recalled ;
vt my mind a story which I had read
somewhere that a. scorpion, on being
surrounded with fire, had committed
suicide. I hesitated about submitting
env pet to such a terrible ordeal; but,
taking a common botanical lens, I fo
cused the rays of the sun on its back.
The moment this was done it began to
run hurriedly about the ease, hissing
md spitting in a very fierce way. This
sxperiment was repeated some four or
rive times with like results, but on try
ing it once again the scorpion turned !
its tail and plunged the stinger quick
is lightning into its own back. The
infliction of *he wound was followed by
a sudden escape of fluid, and a friend
standing by me called out: ‘See, It has
stung itself; it is dead;’ and surs
enough, in less than half a minute life
was quite extinct. I have written this
jrief note to show (1) that animals may
■ommit suicide; (2) that the poison of
certain animals may be destructive to
themselves.”
An eminent writer. Dr. Allen Thomp
son, F. R. S., has contributed the fol
lowing narrative of facts observed by ;
B. F. Hutchinson, while living in the
summer at the baths of Sulla, in Italy.
Mr. Hutchinson and his family were j
very much annoyed by the frequent in- !
tru3ion of small black scorpions in the |
house, which secreted themselves
among the bedclothes, in shoes, and is
other articles of dress. He says:
Tt, thus became necessary to be con
stantly on the watch for these trouble- ,
some creatures, and to take means for
their removal and destruction. Having
b-en informed by the natives of the
place that the scorpion would destroy
itself if exposed to a sudden light., my
informant and her friends soon became
adepts in catching the scorpions and
jisnosing of them in the manner sug
gested. This consisted in confining
the animal under an inverted drinking
glass or tumbler, below which a card
was inserted when the capture was
made, and then, waiting till dark, sud
denly bringing the light of a candle
near to the glass in which the animal
was confined.
“No sooner was this done than the
scorpion invariably showed signs of
great excitement, running round and
round the interior of the tumbler with
reckless velocity for a number of
Times. This state having lasted for a
minute or more, the animal became
quiet, and, turning its tail on the hinder
part, of its body over its back, brought
j's recurved sTing down upon the mid
■J.c of the head, and, piercing it fore
,'oly, in a f-*w seconds became quite
motionless, and, in fact, quite dead.
This observation was repeated very
frequently; in truth, Jt was adopted as
the best plan of getting rid of the ani
mals. The young people were in the
habit of handling the scorpions with
impunity, immediately after they were
so killed, and of preserving many of
them as "uriosities.”
It would be difficult to prove that
suicide is au evidence of intelligence;
and it is certainly different from any
other act that is prompted by instinct,
for instinct always tends to the pres
ervation of life in the individual and
also in the species, never to its destruc
tion. Unless, therefore, there were
some reason to believe that light af
fects the physical organization of the
scorpion in such a way as to be fatally
injurious alike to the individual and to
the species, the extraordinary fact al
'leged in these anecdotes is quite inex
plicable. There is reason, then, to re
ceive these.stories with some hesitation,
but they'< annot be summarily rejected.

TRADE IN WAR RELICS.
Anything That 'Will Serve « a
men to of Brave Heeds Find* g
R-eady Sale.
War medals, mostly won at the cost
j{ peril and privation, are pawned by
possessors and never redeemed, or are
ter.* to the hammer by needy relatives
mi the decease of the veterans. It may
be here noted that no man on the army
active strength is allowed to pledge his
medal*. As is well known, war decora
dons that pass by the means stated,
and otherwise, into commerce, are
eagerly purchased by dealers, who dis
pose of them to museums; also to pri
vate collectors of every grade, from
American millionaires to British pub
licans.
These disks of silver, especially those
awarded for modern campaigns, from
the Crimean war downward, are occa
sionally put by dealers to novel use.
By the aid of a blowpipe the inscrip
tion on the edge can be tilled with sil
ver, when the surface, if need be, is
ready for reengraving. Doctoring of
the name, rank and regiment by the
method mentioned is common in the
trade. So it may be that the virtuoso
who imagines that lia possesses a me
mento of the late gallant Gen. Fitz Car
nage, K. C. B., who distinguished him
seif at Balaklava, would be shocked if
he knew that his pet curio is a fraud
and that it belonged to old Tommy
Atkins, of the Onetv-oneth foot, who
pawned it before he retired into the
workhouse to die.
Again, officers serving or retired
sometimes lose their medals, or have
them feloniously annexed. Sooner than
go through the war office red tape mill
to procure duplicates relettered medals
are obtained from dealers. Mendicants
get hold of the medals in order to ex
hibit them to credulous and benevo
lent folks, and thus extract more lib
eral alms. War decorations are also oc
casionally sported bj' one-armed or sin
gle-legged organ grinders. Such gentry !
warrant themselves to be British, and :
plead for patronage as a matter of na
tional sentiment and as opposed to the !
claims of the Saffron hill musical con
tingent of invaders. These medai-dis- ;
playing humbugs are seldom ex-sol- !
diers, far less have they been disabled }
in -active service. They are at times |
considerably “out” in respect of a bit j
of medal ribbon shown. For instance, j
a». organ grinder of about 25 years of j
age was observed in Holborn the other j
day sporting the Crimean and Mutiny i
ribbons!
Sometimes an actor possessed of a i
passion for realism, who may have to |
impersonate on the stage the hero of j
100 tights, invests in real medals with j
which to cover the breast of his tunic, i
Also genuine war decorations adorn
the uniformed presentments of eminent
warriors In the best-class wax exhibi
tions throughout the country. A year
or two ago a paragraph went the rounds
of the papers to the effect that a king !
of a tribe on the west coast of Africa
had a mania for collecting British war
medals, and that, a city firm had a
standing order to supply his sable maj
esty. The king owned a major gen
eral’s tunic on which were sewn—both
back and front, and from collar to tails
—medals and clasps from those of the
peninsula and Waterloo downward.
This garment the monarch proudly
sported on extra special state occasions.

You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon de
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
“During the past winter I had two
attacks of LaGrippe which left me
very weak, and in bad condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife, after trying different remedies,
went for a doctor. The doctor was
out. and a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles- Nervine, and she brought home
a bottle. I had not slept for some time,
and had terrible pains in my head.
After taking a few doses of Nervine
f- e pain was not so severe, and I
slept. I am now taking the second
bottle, and air. very much improved.'
