French PLAN this Is followed chi, fly In Paris
by men who make II special business. They
take a deep tub with water ut the bottom,
aud little elevation Ia the middle like an
island, on which Is only place for just one rat
To sit on. The'top Is covered and has large
balance valve, opening downward; on the
middle Of this valve piece nf fried pork OF
cheese is fixed, aud when rat walks on IL 10
get the cheese the valve goes down, drOpa
the rat In the water, aud moves back In po-
sltiOn. A road Ia made from q rat-hOle TO
the top Of The tub by means OF piece OF
board rubbed with cheese, so as TO make the
walk attractive for the rats. In the eOnrss
of u single night some ten, twenty, or even
more rats may go down, and II the Island was
not there they would be found most all alive
10 the morning quietly swimming round; but
the provision OF the little Island saves the
trouble Of killing them, because their egOtls-
tic instinct Of self-preservation causes them
10 fight for tie exclusive possession OF the
Island, on which In the morning the strongest

Second, the New York plan, invented by OnC
Of our friends. fhe floor near the rai-hOle
is covered with thin layer Of moist eaustic
potassa. When the rats walk on this u
makes their feet sore; these they lick with

notwithstanding the houses around may be

this Is said to be used successfully In Holland;
we have, however, never tried It., A number
Of rats are left together To themselves In q
