gold LINING FOUND IN RATS
Yellow Metal in=Rodents Extracted
by Yankee Boys.
French Savants Who Take Gold From
Boys in Watch Factories Burn
Rats ane Find Gold in
the Ashes.

In forming a company for the extrac-
ton Of gold from the microbes which
are supposed to attach themselves to
that petal in countless millions mature
Fren6hmen seem 10 have stolen an idea
from thrifty Yankee boys.
]. B. Lake, a representative of the
waltham Watch company i'll Chicago,
says it is common practice for the boys
in watch and jewelry factories to kill
rats and burn their bodies to get the
gold from them, and that the amount
SO obtained in the course Of year in
considerable. In every large plant like
that OF the Waltham Watch company
many oiled rags are used in furnishing
watch cases and in time become strong
II ,impregnated with gold. The boys
about the factories hre supposed to keep
these rags out of reach Of tfrs rats, but
they don't do 50. On the contrary,
knowing the keen appetite Of the rodents
for everything greasy, the boys careless
ly leave these rubbing rags lying about
where the rats can get at them and eat
them
Six months Of this kind Of diet fill
tho interior mechanism of the rat with
gold plsting he cannot get rid Of 1t
sticks to him closely, and so long as tho
supply of oily rags holds ont the rat
sticks to the factory. In order to make
sure the voracious rodents will have an
inducement to gorge themselves with
gold sharp boys drop butter and fifty
meats from their luncheons on the floors
andrub them we'll into tho wood by shut
fling their feet on IT. At night the rats
come out and nibble the flooring They
don't care for the gold in it, but tho
grease attracts them, and in getting mt
the grease they take dressing of gold
with it.
Twice a year the boys have grand
roundup. Rats are caught by the hun
dreds, and after being killed are put
into a crucible and burned. The intense
heat drives off all animal substances,
leaving the gold i'll the shape of but
ton. The amount collected i'll this way
depends upon the number of rats the
boys can catch, 1t is hardly large enough
to attract an Investment of capital, but
it gives the ingenious Youngsters consid-
cradle pocket money and encourages

depress tho price of futures, while an

understand these conditions are accused
of having at times caused an artificial
scarcity or oversupply, MS it might be to
their interest to bull or bear the market.

Still UPON rHE ROCKS At GULL
ISLAND.

VIII Not be Got on for Several Days-Her
Position Very serious-May be Saved If
no Big storm Occurs soon.
New London, Nov 1.-THE Fall Riv-
err line steamer Puritan still reposes on
the rocks at Gull Island and the pros
poets are good that she will stay there
for some days to come, Although it
was announced that an effort would be
made at o'clock this afternoon, it was
found impracticable to make the at
tempt and no effort was made during
the entire day to float her. Anchors
are kept out continually to prevent the
vessel from going further ashore or
changing her position. 1t was discov-
cred to-day, although it is not frankly
admitted, that the position of the Puri-
tan is much more serious than was at
first thought In the first place, she
lies between two huge boulders, They
are amidships, almost directly under
the machinery, This fact in itself is
most unfortunate, for even with IA
vorable tide it would be difficult to haul
the vessel off from and out between the
rocks referred to. In addition to this
the water line of the boat is nearly one
foot above the average high water
mark. AS a result it is thought to be
impossible to relieve the situation I'M
til full high tide comes with the next
moon Every precaution has been tax
en- to save the boat, but her position
would become precarious the instant an
unfavorable wind kicked UP wicked
seas She would almost certainly be
pounded to pieces before anything could
be done.
The officials of the company persist
in expressing themselves confident that
the boat will be hauled off shortly and
it is announced that efforts are to be
made at each full water.
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
Boston, Nov 11.-Third Vice President
Kendrick of the New Haven system
said that the insurance upon the steam
er Puritan ashore on Gull Island was

He also gave out the information that
the latest advices from Superintendent
lSardiner were to the effect that there
Mere good prospects of floating the yes
ykl, if the wind shifted. Since the Pur-
titan grounded the wind had been blow
ang off shore, which made difference of
about foot in the tide, and he was
of opinion that strong breeze in an OPP
posite direction would float the big liner.
