How Rat Saved Hundreds of Pounds.
Work at Home.
The telegraph wires in London are not all
above ground, but many belong to the under
ground system The main wires are laid through
the big tunnels in which the gas and sewer
pipes. The tunnels are big enough for man to
walk through easily. The branch pipes, contain
ing the side wires running off from the main
line several miles, are much smaller, of course,
and the workmen must be very careful not to
lose the connections between the larger and
smaller wires.
Not long ago, however, some men who were
repairing one of these lateral wires failed to at
tach 1t to leading line by which the wire could
be drawn back to its place. The blunder seemed
to involve great loss for it looked as though
the whole side pipe would have to be dug up to
replace the wire.
In this dilemma remarkable step was taken.
rat was caught, and one end of fine steel
wire was tied around him. He was placed in the
pipe, but, after running few yards, he stopped.
Then came another curious step. A ferret was
put after the rat. As as the rat heard the
ferret coming behind. the fine wire began to
play out 1t was feared that the rat would show
fight, but it did not, and the complete circuit
was made by both rat and ferret.
When the rat came out the other end of the
pipe he was caught, and, by means of the fine
wire, the telegraph wire was drawn through, SO
the rat saved the telegraph company hundreds
of pounus.
