Does Kill Itself.

Lord Ilyron hns referred to a tenden
cy of the scorpion to commit suicide
when surrounded by Are. .Naturally
enough, tills has been regarded si a
poetic fiction; and a distinguished
writer lias Koue so far us to say that the
"popular idea regarding scorpioido
huiciilc Is a delusion based on an Impos
sibility." The Impossibility to which
thin writer refers is this : The Sting of
the scorpion is in its tail, tmd the ter
mination of the tali is recurved, sit thai
it would really lie Impossible for the
scorpiolk to sting itself on the under
part nf ItK bodv. ltut it is not impos-
Ible for the sting to penetrate the back
ir even the head; and there k positive
evidence thut in certain circumstances
the scorpion dues commit suicide in
that way, This creature seemi to be
unable to endure light; and when it Is
exposed to light it seems to become so
desperate as to end its torture with its
own sting. IV. G, Biddle tells this In
cident, which he himself observed in
Madras, and which he communicated
to Nature:
"One morning a servant brought to
me i large seei men of scorpion, which,
having staid out too long in its noo
turnal rambles, had apparent ly got be
wildcn ! at daybreak and been unable
lo t.i.i Its way home, To keep it safe,
the creature was at once put Into a
glazed entomologies ease. Having a
few leisure minutes in the course of the
forenoon, 1 thought I would ee how
my prisoniM" was getting on, and to
have a bettor view of it the case 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
In my mind a story which I hud read
somewhere that a scorpion, ou being
surrounded with tire, had committed
suicide. 1 hesitated about submitting
my "'t to such a terrible ordeal; but,
taking a common botanical lens, I fo
cused tin1 rays of the sun on its back.
The moment this was done H began to
run hurriedly about the caae, hissing
and spitting in a very tierce way. This
Experiment was repeated some four or
live times with like results, but on try
ing it once again the scorpion turned
its tail and plunged the stinger quick
us lightning into its own back. The
infliction of the wound was followed by
u sudden escape of fluid, and a friend
standing by me culled out: 'See, It has
stung itself; it is dead;' and sure
enough, in less than half a minute life
w as quite extinct. I have w ritten this
brief note to show (1) that animals may
commit suicide; (2) that tho poison of
certain animals may be destructive to
1 hemselves."
An eminent w riter, J"r. Allen Thomp
son, P. H. S., has contributed the fol
lowing narrative of facts observed by
1!. F. Hutchinson, while living in the
summer at the baths of Sulla, in Italy.
Mr. Hutchinson and his family were
very much annoyed by the frequent in
trusion of small black scorpions in the
house, which secreted themselves
among the bedclothes, in shoes, and in
other articles of dress. He says:
"It 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
been 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
disposing 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, wait ing till dark, sud
denly bringing the light of ii candle
near to the glass in which the animal
was confined.
"No sooner was this clone than the
scorpion invariably showed signs of
great excitement, running round and
round the interior of the tumbler with
reckless velocity for n number of
times. This state having lasted for a
minute or more, the animal became
quiet, and, turning its tail on the hinder
pari of its body over its back, brought
its recurved sTlng down upon the mid
dle of the head, and, piercing it forc
ibly, in n few seconds became quite
motionless, nnd, in fact, quite dead.
This observation was repeated very
frequently; In trutk, it was adopted as
the best plan of getting rid of t he ani
mals. The young people were In the
habit of handling the scorpions with
impunity immediately after they were
so killed, nnd of preserving many of
them as curiosities."
It would be difficult to prove that
suicide is an 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 ami
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 ns to be fatally
injurious alike to the Individual and to
the species, the extraordinary fact al
leged in these anecdotes ia quite inex
plicable. There is reason, then, to re
ceive these stories with some hesitation,
but they cannot be summarily rejected;

BUTTONS NOW MADE OP MILK,
Hew lae to Which th Lacteal FlaM
of the Cow Is Now
Uelaar Pat.
If anyone were to tell you that the
whta collar button which you see the
street peddler holding out w.vs mads of
milk you would probably thiuk he was
springing on you the latest thing la
jatch question, but it ia a remarkabls
thing that science has gone so far Uat
the transmutation of the chief product
of the cow Into a substance slmost si
hard und Insoluble as bone is being car
ried on every day. It has only beeu re
cently, however, that the substance was
procurable in the markets.
The process by which s major portion
of tho lacteal fluid, which had hitherto
bcon thrown away or usud as food for
swine, can be converted Into a solid with
great commercial possibilities Is a curi
ous und interesting one.
At the present time this proceta is
controlled exclusively by two firms.
During the last four or five months
these concerns have beeu Bending out
agents to creameries in the eustern
states.
These gents make arrangements
with the creamery proprietors for the
Installation of the apparatus necessary
for the manufacture of the new sub
stance und are authorized to draw up
contracts binding their principals to
receive all that the oreomery can pro
duce for the following two years and
pay for the same at the rate of five
cents the pound.
Unfortunately, however, as can read
ily be seen, this discovery, while of im
mense benefit to the creamery manage
ment, is, like the bulk of the discov
eries beneficial to mankind marie by
science, of benefit to the middleman
only, while the producer remains in the
same position as he was before.
The process of manufacture com
mences in what are known as the separa
tors, which form part of the regulation
equipment of a creamery. The milk, as
It is brought In by the dairymen,-Is
poured Into these separator, which
consist of heavy hollow cylinders, with
a small orifice ot the side and another
at the top. The whole is then made to
revolve with lightning rapidity by
steam power nnd the cream is separated
from the milk by centrifugal force, the
former escaping through the opening
in the top and the latter through the
one In the side. This residue Is known
as "skim milk."
This milk is stored In one or more
large tanks, according to the size of the
creamery and the quantity of the lac
teal fluid handled. These tanks are
used as reservoirs to supply a smaller
one. When the lntter Is about three
quarters filled the milk is scalded by
running steam through it and under
this treatment soon resolves Into a
sticky, pasty mess, In which form it hns
always had n limited sale on somo
markets, being variously known ns cot
tage cheese or schmerc knse, the Dutch
appellation being the most appropriate
one.
This cheese, after being well-kneaded
by hand, is placed in thin bags and put
under a powerful press, where all fhp
moisture that it is possible to eliminate
in this manner is exuded. When re
moved from the bags the cheese disin
tegrates into small fragments nnd Is
placed upon trays in what is known ns
the drying-room, n large apartment,
the interior of which, on uccouut of be
ing filled from top to bottom with light
trays having muslin bottoms and which
slide In and out on the cleats, looks
like a gigantic incubator or fruit evap
orator. Around the sides are bnnks of
water pipes which are capable of rais
ing the tempernturc. to an Indefinite
height. After being subjected to the
intense heat of this chamber for two or
three days it is removed, golden yellow
in color nnd ns hard ns flint, and Is
ready to be packed in bogs and shipped.
The exact process, technically con
sidered, which it undergoes after it
reaches its destination is, of course,, a
secret. Hut it is known that it receives
chemical treatment that makes it bus
ceptlblo to dyeing, bleaching, rolling,
pressing and molding, nnd that from it
are made collars, cufTs, shirt bosoms,
"pearl" buttons an excellent imita
tion, it is said doorknobs, toys and, in
fact, an innumerable number of simi
lar articles. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Mystery of Gray Hair.
That a man's hair sometimes turns
gray very suddenly Is n fact well known
to physiologists. Statistics, however,
on this subject are very rare, and for
this reason Prof. Vlrchow, the famous
(ierman scientist, recently requested a
number of physicians to send him full
details of all such eases as plight come
under their observation. As a result
Dr. atari ts, the well-known authority
on diseases of the throat, hns Just pub
lished in the Archive a full account of
such a case. The subject, or victim, is
a. day laborer about 'M years of age.
Some time ago he was very nenrlly run
over by a railroad train, nijd naturally
he received a severe shock. On the fol
lowing morning a friend nsked him
w hat he had done to his hair, and, look
ing in the glass, he saw that there were
two distinct patches of white on his
head, one exactly in the middle and the
other just above his right ear. Koch
patch of white hair covers a space of
from three to four square inches. The
evident conclusion Is that this sudden
change of color was caused solely by
tho fright which the man experienced
when the train flashed by him within a
few inches of his body. N. Y. Herald.

Warrant Out For the Arrest of
"Napoleon of Finance" Miller.
THE OEEDULITY OF AMERICANS
Ae Shown by the Manner In Which
Tr roared Moaey Into the ConTera
or the Franklin Syndicate, Which
Promised rabulooe Internal.
Brooklyn, Nov. 27. William P.
Iflller, head of the Franklin syndicate,
which has accepted the deposits of
thousands of persons under promise of
paying dividends of 10 per cent a
week, or 520 per cent per annum, and
Cecil Leslie, his secretary, were in
dicted by the King's county grand Jury
last Friday. Bench warrants were Is
sued for the arrest of these two men,
but they have decamped. Police think
they are In hiding somewhere about
New York, and say they cannot elude
capture.
Friday night the police raided tho
premises occupied by the syndi
cate, on Floyd street. There was a
great crowd of people around the build
ing, and the police surrounded It. In
spector Mrennun arrested Louis Miller,
brother of the head of the syndicate,
and the cashier of the concern, nnd
took possession of $1 5.000 In cash.
There were 40 employes engaged at
work In tne offices, und these were al
lowed to go. It was stated by Louis
Miller to the police that tho ofuie.-i
were then In the hands of ex-Sheriff
Dal'ey, of Richmond, to whom, he
bii d the concern had a:-isir'ned.
Miller ha been advertising liberally,
nnd his victims are In all parts of the
country. The money poured In so
rapidly that barrels were brought up
from the eeilar to hold the rash.
It is :;;iid that within the last week
Miller had received deposits of hun
dreds of people, aggregating a daily
amount from J30.000 to $40,000, It la
easy to s.ip under these circumstances
how the Franklin syndicate could
readily pay out 10 per rent of thi:;
niuounl a week iimi still make money.
The i xtonBive operations of the
Franklin snydlcnte and exhaustion
credulity of the American people are
shown by the number of dividend
drafts which are held by the different
city banks. These drafts were sent
through the malls by Miller to sub
Bcribera living nt distant points, and
they deposited them In their local
batiks for collection. The local banks
in turn sent lliem to the New York
banks, which act as their agents here.
These drafts arrived on Saturday.
Many more are expeoted this week.
As the syndicate has assigned, the
drafts will be returned to their dupes.
The National City bank nlone hns
about 200 of the drafts, sent here by
banks In Allegheny, Pa.. Portland. Me ,
Elsie, Ills.. Amenla, N. Y Orand
Lodge. Mich., Fltchburg, Mnss., Wheel
ing, w. Yn.. Urbana, 0 Elisabeth, N.
,T., and two score of other towns. Other
banks also have Miller drafts sont to
them from out of town.
A vnst crowd of furious men and wo
men Surged about the c'osed headquar
ters of the syndicate. The men In the
crowd raged and swore In exress of
fury. The women were worse than the
men. They raved and shrieked In Im
potent rage. Most of them cursed the
authorities rather than Miller and de
clared that the man was persecuted. nnd
hounded by those who were jealous
of his success. It was Rltopether a
vivid exemplification of the credulity
and fickleness of humanity.
The following w II show Miller's win
nings: Total receipts or deposits, $10.
000 per day for ISO days. tl.6M.000.
Paid out In dividends, estimated, $5B0,
000. Recovered by police, $8,.ri00. Kx
penses of office, advertising, etc., $200,
