He Walked Far Too Far.

In hotel in Berlin there is night
Waterman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted few years ago
requiring him 70 go through the hotel
at certain hours and touch an electric
button fixed up in various places.
After much thought he fixed up an
automatic arrangement on several Of
the buttons so that they would report
at certain hours Soon the button sys-

MUSIC AND MICE.
a Suggestion of q Novel Trap-Enect of
Piano Playing on Rodents.

Truth of London suggests that as
mice like music there is an independent
fortune awaiting the man who will in
vent a small music box which when
wound will run all night, since such q
contrivance would serve TO call mice
into traps and would be to the mice
what decoy is to a flock of ducks or
looking glass TO a tiger. After this sug-
gestion, which Is not untrue to nature,
Truth goes on to say that music that
sounds out of killer to critics ears
would also drive mice from the house.
If the Truth writer had even actually
seen a mouse under the influence of mu-
sic he would never have made that mis-
take Neither would be have said ian
accordion would also make the agile ro-
dent desert the house as be is said to
desert the sinking ship. Whether mu-
sic affects rats Is "A question not yet set
tied by students of natural history.
As to the actual doings of a mouse
when listening to music, il has been OBJ
served that the playing of piano, even
the tum tum Of beginner learning his
first tune, will cause mice Of the COM
mon house variety to run up and down
behind the plaster Of house, causing
it to rattle in way fit TO disturb the
most earnest student. One night half
dozen persons were gathered IN the par
Tor Of an Adirondack home listening to
a skilled player, who, as woodsman
said, could make a pianner talk,
when it was observed that the mice
were acting IN an unusual manner. The
ordinary conduct of mice when they
hear piano music Is u merely rattle the
plaster, but ON this night they squeaked
and squealed and ratified the plaster as
they had never done before. The rush
Of the rodeH,s died away after the mu-
sic stopped, Int it was hours before the
last squeak was heard.
One of the human listeners was a boy
who had some little skill as a harmon
icon player. and he went frequently to
the woods, where, with the aid of the
instrument, he succeeded in calling
chIpmunks, red squirrels, and on one
occasion woodehuck, besides wood
the smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran
about the player, with now and then q
squeak, but sometimes low strain
with slight modulations would seem to
drive them insane, and then, without
hesitation, they would run over the
player as If he had been il stump. The
