How to Catch Rats.

A gentleman has invented . new
method Of catching rats. which does
away with ordinary traps. black and
tans aud cats entirely that IL TO say
the necessity OF keeping them for rat
tiers. The method Is exciting much
interest among householde-s. A bar
rel Is half filled with water. A layer
OF powdered cork is laid on its surface,
and over this is sifted layer Of corr
meal. A chair and box or TIVE are
placed unobtrusively in the neighbor'
hood, whereby the rat gains the edge
of the barrel. He sees nothing but
the meal. He has no innate idea that
teaches him to beware Of the treach-
erous foundation upon which that
tempting surface rests. He snifls, he
leaps, he goes gently down through
the meal and cork 70 his watery grave.
Ifany OF his friends or immediate
neighbors see him disappear from the
edge Of the barrel they hasten after
him to get their share Of the profitable
plumber, and are in return taken In by
hoepitable death. The plan il decid-
eddy effective a. against rats. but Is
calculated to destroy their confidence
In human nature.

italian Method Of Preserving the
Dead.

The Italians are said to exhibi,
specimens Ct dead human bodies
preserved according to the Brunetti
method-which are as hard as stone,
retaining the natural shape perfectly
and being equal to the best wax
models. This method, as described.
consists of several processes. First,
the circulatory system is cleared thor
oughly out by washing with cold
water until it issues quite clear from
the body, and this may occupy two to
five hours; second, alcohol is injected
so rs to abstract as much water as pos
sible, this occupying about quarter
of an hour; ether is then injected for
from two to ten hours, In order to abb
stract all fatty matters; after this .
strong solution of tannin is Injected,
the inhibition requiring some two to
ten hours, and the body is now dried
for from two to five hours in q cur
rent of warm air passed over heated
chloride Of lime. Treated according
TO this ss stem, the body is said to be-
come so perfectly preserved as to rf-
f.ctaally resist decay

article explains tory OF the inside work

terprise as follows
In summing up the matter, we have
to submit that Mr.. Wise wholly neg.
iected to carry out his agreement with
US. He assumed the responsibility o
constructing the balloon, and wa.
bound to fill and embark in it. II,
-hirked the responsibility from the
first, and finally left the entire burde |
for US to bear, with our utter mex
perience, as best we might. His want
Of fsith aud earnestness all the way
through has led Us to the conviction
that he never had any other motive
than to occupy for brief moment the
eye Of the public.
This enterprise has alresd.
cost more money than its exhibition
has brought in. Mr.. Wise's estimate
has been largely overrun in every par
ttcuiar. 1t IL worth all 1t has cost in
demonstrating conciu.ively that John
Wise Is not the man for an aerial voy-
age Of discovery. The collapse of our
balloon is not half SO mortlfying to u
as would have been the accomplish
ment of the voyage without the re-
cording or noting Of u single valuable
discovery.
We are more full OF courage as to the
outcome Of this undertaking than we
have yet been. We shall build an
other air-ship. and next time 1t will
be eqipped with men fitted to man it.
Not moment will be lost in hasten
ing its completion. II it fails as the
first one did, we will try again, and
keep trying still.
