| Notes: | Printed on border: "Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper, May 24, 1862." "96." "'The scorpion is one of the most stupid as well as one of the most venomous of insects. It carries its sting in its tail--never biting as is supposed by the vulgar. When 'cornered,' and no avenue of escape appearing, it usually stings itself to death--striking its poisonous sting into its own head, which is the softest and consequently the most vulnerable part of its body.' -- Child's book of natural history." |
