why Rats Arc Dangerous Passengers.
A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the rat is capable of do
ing came to light during the proceedings
of naval court Of inquiry held In Au-
gust, 1875, for the purpose of investigat-
ing the cause of the loss of the bark
Commodore of Hartlepool. The vessel,
which was burned at sea, had been
loaded with cargo Of timber, and the
fire broke out in the hold in q most mys-
FERROUS manner. 1t was eventually
proved, on the evidence Of the entire
crew, that beyond shadow of doubt
the outbreak was originated by rat
carrying off a lighted candle. which had
stood in the forecastle and was presently
missed by the sailors, and dropping 1t
among the dry and resinous pine slowed
below. .-..
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking of the danger generally OF
rats on shipboard, said that "they have
caused the laundering of many ships by
Ignawing holes in the planking or SO eat
ing away the inner sides of the wood as
to leave very little for the straining Of
the hull to do in completing the aper-
ture; they have been known to nibble
the timber at the waterways until the
wood was SO thin as to admit rainwatei
through II; they will attack the bungs
of casks and create leakage; find out the
soft parts of the knees or lining, and
make a passage for themselves from one
part to another" So fully has the dan
ger of this now come to be recognized
that such contingencies are generally
provided for in the insurance of wooden
built ships.-Chambers journal.

During n war between Austria and
Turkey baker in his cellar kneading
bread noticed slight noise rising and
falling at intervals, which seemed to
come from distant corner of his cellar.
He stopped his work, and tracing the
sounds discovered that they were caused
by few marbles dancing up and down
on the head of little drum his child
had left there.
The majority OF persons would have
been satisfied to attribute the motion Of
the marbles to the rumbling in the
street, or to the occasional firing Of guns,
but this man was an observer.
Surprised at the perfect regularity
with which the marbles jumped from
the drum head, he put his ear to the
ground and noticed distant tapping.
He recalled how as boy he had heard
from one end of long log companion
scratching with a pin upon the other
end, and he judged that the earth was
just such conductor of sound as the
log had been.
Suddenly it flashed upon him that
what he heard was the sound of pick
and that the Turks were doing what had
SO long been feared, undermining the
city. The news was carried to the Aus,
trian general, examination made, q
counter mine prepared and exploded, and
the Turks put to fight.-Youth's Com
