half way through the other with blow

Texas farmers have been almost ruin
ed by the depredations of rats. To get
rid of them q novel expedient has come
into use. The farmer finds burrow in
which from fifty to hundred rats re-
side. Every exit save one is carefully
stopped. At this one is placed COM
mon iron tea-kettle. Opposite the spout
is bored hole in which is inserted a
piece of gas pipe about one foot long.
Over the spout is placed another piece
of pipe, which is run into the opening
leading to the burrow. A fire is then
built in the kettle and a couple Of hand
fuls OF sulphur thrown on the Goals.
The top being closed, the fumes are
driven into the burrow by hand bel
lows, the nozzle of which is inserted in
the top pipe. Some of these burrows are
! fifty yards in length; the fumes go
through all its passages, and in five
minutes every young or old rodent is
dead. Chicago Herald.

this time he was done for. He reiterated

that the tiger could not get out, as

Not knowing whether the dead man

He had not devoured any of his victims
at the spot where he rested, but all had
been eaten within radius of few
rods. From what we could discover it
was concluded that he was SOLITARY
and as the village suffered no more this
must have been the case. In removing
the skin we found spot on the shoulder
where the beast had been severely cut
