fIat EXferD1inotor.

Cork has long been known as life
saver, but in a recent Invention it APP
pears in an entirely opposite guise. 1t
is claimed to be one of the surest rat
killers on the market. Its deadliness
is based on its capacity of expansion
when in contact with fluids. The cork,
finely granulated, is mixed with COM
pound which is not only an irresistible
attraction for the palate of the rat,
but produces raging thirst. This is
left about where the rodent loves to
gambol. When it is eaten, the rat goes
straight for the water, and immediate
ly grows too large for further useful
ness.-N. Y Times.
