friends that nothing could induce
him to accept nomination to the
presidency, but it is safe to say
to say that none but the dullest Of

1t is well known fact that Mr..
Harrison's recent visit to New

the prominent leaders of the Re-

of launching his boom. In the
west he has friends working for
him, and he keeps in close commu-
nication with them. 1t Is true

Mckinley, rush about the country

GOLD LINING IN RATS.
The Metal Found in Rodents and
Savants Take the Tip.

The Metal Found in Rodents and
Savants Take the Tip.
In forming a company for the
extraction of gold from the mi
crobes which are supposed to at
tach themselves to that metal in
countless millions, mature French
men seem to have stolen an idea
from thrifty Yankee boys.
1. b. Lake, representative OF
the Waltham Watch company, in
this city, says it is a common prac-
tice for the boys in watch and jew
elry factories to kill rats and burn
their bodies to get the gold from
them, and that the amount thus
obtained in the course Of year Is
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 strongly impregnat-
ed with gold. The boys about the
factories are supposed to keep these
rags out of reach Of the rats, but
they don't do so. On the contrary,
knowing the keen appetite Of the
rodents for anything greasy, the
boys carelessly leave these rubbing
rags lying about where the rats
can get at them and eat them.
Six months of this kind of diet
fills the interior mechanism OF the
rat with gold plating he can not
get rid OF. 1t sticks to him close
ly, and so long as the supply OF
oily rags holds out the rat sticks
to the factory. In order to make
sure the voracious rodents will
have an inducementt to gorge them
selves with gold, sharp boys drop
butter and fatty meats from their
luncheons on the floors and rub
them we'll into the wood by shut
fling their feet on it. At night the
rats come out and nibble the floor
ing. They don't care for the gold
in 1t, but the grease attracts them,
and in getting at the grease they
take a dressing of gold with 1t.
Twice a year the boys have a
grand roundup. Rats are caught
by the hundreds, and after being
killed are put into crucible and
burned. The intense heat drives
Off all animal substances, leaving
the gold in the shape Of button
The amount collected in this way
depends upon the number Of rats
the boys can catch. 1t is hardly
large enough to attract an invest
ment of capital, but it gives the
ingenious youngsters consider
able pocket money, and en-
courages business tactics. In some
factories there are young Napo
Icons, who buy up in advance tn,
shares of their fellow-workers IL
