A new manner of catching rats is ex.
citing great interest among the return
ing householders in Madison avenue.
A barrel is filed half full of water A
layer of powdered cork is laid on its
surface, and over this layer of corn
me,,l is sifted. A chair and box OF
two are placed unobtrusively in the
neighborhood, whereby the rat gains
the edge of the barrel. He sees moth
ing but the meal. He has no innate
idea which teaches him to beware OF
the treacherous foundation on which
that tempting surface rests. He shifts,
he leaps, and goes gently down through
meal and cork to his watery grave. If
any of his friends see him disappear
from the edge of the barrel they hasten
after him to get their share of the pro-
bable plumber, and are in turn taken in
by hospitable death. The plan seems
effective as against the rats, but is cal
culated to destroy their confidence in
human nature.
