Everyone in Rensselaer has doubtless noticed the hundreds of large bugs which gather around the arc lights every evening when they are lit, but pay little attention to them. It is said that they are capable of inflicting a sting almost as poisonous as that of an adder. The bug is a species of the tarantula, and its sting is as poisonous as that of the latter. They seldom sting anyone, and never do so except in self defense, but people should be careful about handling them. At Tipton recently a young man lost his leg from the sting of anelectric light bug, the physician being compelled to amputate the young man’s limb in order to save his life.
