VERMIN EXTERMINATORs.
Removing a Plague of Field Mice
Paxteur and Rabbits,

Perhaps one of the most remarkable uses
to which bacteria have been put is that of
vermin exterminators or poisoning agents.
1t was in the year 1889 that Professor Loef-
fler, while experimenting with mice in his
laboratory at Griefswald, discovered a
micro-organism which was recently ia
tai to all kinds of mice. The happy idea
occurred to the Professor thai this lethal
little microbe, which he christened Ba-
cillus typhi murium, might be turned to
excellent account in combating plaques
of field mice in grain fields where the de-
vastaticn committed by these voracious
rodents had become in parts of Greece
and Russia a serious source of loss to ag-
riculturists. Experiments were accord
ingly made IN a small scale to u the eff
fciency of this bacterial poisoner in des-
troying field mice, and so successful We're
the results that Loeffler confidently an
nounced the possibility of keeping down
these pests by distributing food material
infected with these bacteria over fields
which were invaded by them. The Greek
Government took up the question, and
Loeffler's method was applied with brill
liant results: the disease was dissemin-
ated with extraordinary rapidity anu
severity, and the mice were readily des-
troyed.
The idea was not original, for Pasteur
had already, in 1888, suggested to the In
tercoIonial Rabbit Commission In Austria
liza that chickcn-cholera microbes should
be employed by destroying the rabbits.
which then, as now, are such a source of
difficulty and pecuniary loss to the eoun-
try. No active measures appear to have
been taken, however, to carry out this
suggestion. one of the principal objections
raised being the undesirability of intro
ducing a disease which was at that time
believed to be a stranger to the colony.
Quite recently, within the past year, the
idea has been revived by Mr.. Pound, the
Government bacteriologist at Brisbane, in
consequence of his discovery that chicken
cholera, far from not existing in Austria
liza, has infested poultry yards more or
less extensively for several years past, al
though it has only recently been accurate.
ly diagnosed as such. This chicken-cholera
microbe is particularly well suited for the
Worfz in question, inasmuch as, while ex-
trefnely fatal to rabbits. it is without any
effect whatever on farm stock of various
kinds, and is perfectly harmless to man,
so that its handling by the uninitated is
not attended with any personal danger

A CLOCK WITH A HISTORY.
Hts Ticking stopped By a Hessian
Bullet a Century Ago.

Edward Finshout, of Bristol, Ind, is
the devisee under the will of his uncle,
the lat Thomas Long. of a clock with
a history, according to the New York
Sun. The clock was built in Geneva,
Switzerland, in III, and is 1856 years
old. 1t was brought over to this coun-
try in 1740 by one of Mr.. Longs direct
ancestors, who settled on a part of the
grant of the Ohio Company. in what is
now Southwestern Pennsylvania. In the
French and ndian wars. two years later,
he fought under General Braddock. Dur
ing his absence from home his house was
pillaged and burned by a party of French
n the old clock was carried off to Fort
Duquesne. After the wal the clock was
recovered, none the worse for its ex-
perience. The clock continued to tick off
colonial history in it's accustomed place
until the death of it's owner, who be-
queathed it to his son. Richard Long.
The later removed to Princeton, N. j.,
some time prior to the Revolution. His
home was on Mercer avenue. One day,
while the British and the Hessians were
in possession of the town, and were using
old Nassau Hall as their barracks, d
party of soldiers passed along the avenu
n fired a few shots into the home of
Mr.. Long to avenge an laleged insult.
One of the bullets hit the lower part of
the clock, and the old timepiece has never
licked since that day, though an inscrip-
tion on its back says that .sthe most
learned tinker in the Borough -labored
with it." The clock was on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. 1t is built of wood re-
sembling walnut, is seven feet three
inches high and is in a fine state of pres
~ervation. THE dial, made of beaten silver,
is elaborately decorated and the hands
made of fine material and shows skilled
workmanship. The weights fall six feet.
The clock required winding every So
