By having constantly to keep inmind the importance cf sus taining his success, of appealing to the popular taste, Dickens was continually kept back. If he could have worked for work's sake,- he might have pro duced far greater masterpieces than those now associated with his fame. In this say he might have helped to brin popular taste to a higher level. When You Take Cold.

Its Sting Much Dreaded, Though Sel dom Fatal-Creature Has Long Been Known In the History of the World. The scorpion is a pest of the trop ical regions. It never lives in our lati tude. Its resemblance to the spiders and the crustaceans is quite apparent. While naturalists place the scorpions in the class Arachnida, the class to which the spiders belong, their super ficial appearance reminds one of the class Crustacea, the class to which the crabs and lobsters belong. The big pincers, especially, by which they seize and hold their prey, give to the scor pions the aspect of the crabs and lob sters. The poison sting of the scorpion is located at the tip of the abdomen and he appears to be fully conscious of his powerful weapon, R. N. Davis, curator of the Everhart museum, writes in Scranton Republican. When running along the ground he holds the sting aloft as if to prevent injury to it by striking it against the ground. When it seizes its prey with its pincers it searches with the tip of its abdomen for a soft spot in the body of its prey and there inserts the poison stinger. If the animal is of considerable size it may sting it more than once. 'Much of its food, such as the eggs of insects and spiders, is obtained without any use of the stinger. 'The stinger is also used by him as a weapon of defense against larger animals. In tropical re gions the sting of the scorpion is dreaded as much as we dread the bite of tiie rattler. Although the scorpion's sting is not so severe as the bite of a rattlesnake, it is much worse than the sting of the bee. Fatal stings by the scorpion are exceedingly rare. I am reminded of the scorpions at this time on account of receiving re cently at the museum one of the large black scorpions from Africa. Iu Africa and India are found the largest of all the scorpions. This African scorpion Is preserved in alcohol and was pre sented to the museum by Mrs. E. J. Lewis, she having received it from Mrs. John Job of Newark, N. J. There are several other scorpions in the museum, but none of them approach this specimen in size. Scorpions appeared quite early in the history of the earth, for well-pre served remains of them have been found in the upper silurian in both Europe and America. They are found, too, in the carboniferous and these an cient forms are very similar to the living species. This is unusual in land animals. Most land animals show great changes from one geological age to the next. Marine animals, especial ly those of the deeper waters, change very slowly, but land animals change with comparative rapidity. In the deeper waters the temperature is al most constant and the animal is al ways wet. On the land the tempera ture varies much in different places and in any place the temperature changes with the day and season. The amount of moisture from time to time varies greatly. This variable envir onment of the land animals tends to produce rapid changes and species die out and new species develop. The scorpions, however, seem to be some what exceptional, for the living spe cies do not differ much from those living away back in paleozoic time. Possibly the nocturnal habits of these animals have had something to do with the shight changes the group has un dergone Immense Billboards. Future civic commissions in Argen tina will have a heavy task before them should they attempt to remove the gigantic billboards with which an American advertising firm is now dec orating their landscape. Arrangements have been made for the erection of the largest advertising billboard in the world. It will be a mile in length and covered with huge designs of the ar tiles advertised. No single display will be less than 50 yards square and some of them will be over 100 yards square. Because of its great size the billboard is being built upon a heavy steel framework which is set in firm concrete foundations. In addition to this immense display, near Buenos Aires, many miles of smaller bill boards are said te have been con tracted for, chiefly by American firms who take this means of acquaint the South Americans with their products. Sirup to Remain Sweet. Sirup that will neither ferment nor crystallize is the product of two years of experimentation by the department of agriculture, says the Atlantic Con stitution. The importance of this discovery to the cane growers of South Georgia and of the other southern states where the production of cane sirup is an im portant industry can hardly be over estimated. It removes the greatest bugbear in the business. Sirup made by the new process should bring double and treble the prices formerly received by the producer. It will place on the market a nutritive, delicious food product, in more dependable form than ever before. Quite a Mistake. "Pa. Is your business an unrefined one?" "Of course not, daughter.
