A RAT-TRAP EXPOSITION.
Queer Kind of an Exhibition just Closed
at Copenhagen.

Queer Kind of an Exhibition Just Closed
at Copenhagen.
The first international exposition of
rat traps recently closed at Copen-
hagen after a most successful display
OF rodent exterminating devices. AS
might have been supposed in such
momentus affair, America would not
be overlooked, and 1t Is equally GER
tain that Yankee ingenuity would be
suitably recognized in gold-medal
awards. AS matter of fact, two gold
and one bronze medal actually did go
to American exhibitors. In all these
were 100 sovereign exhibitors. to whom
FIVE medals were awarded in addit On
to the American awards. while all the
makers of rat traps in Denmark, as
we'll as numerous inventors. took this
unusual opportunity to exhibit their
contrivances. Rats have become such
a pest in Denmark, as well as In Swe-
den and part of Germany, that an ex-
position was decided upon as the only
adequate way in which the public
could be made acquainted with the
latest appliances. That 1t was no sec
royal patronage OF Prince and Princess
Christian of Denmark and the visit Of
an official representative of Germany
Count Schwerin. Preparations for this
curious gathering had been under way
for over three years. 1t was organ
lied by the committee for the ra-
tional determination OF rats in Den
mark" which for a number of years
has carried on n crusade against the
rodents. The most successful meas
ure has been the payment Of bounties
amounting to about 8 cents for every
rat killed. In the course of eighteen
weeks 1902 900 rats were destroyed in
Copenhagen by the bounty claimants.
Sweden offered a similar government
bounty beginning March last, and In
FIVE months 100000 rats have been
killed and paid for in Stockholm alone.
The alarming multiplicity of rats is
evidenced by the record of some OF the
smaller towns in Denmark. where as
many as five rats per inhabitants have
been destroyed in less than two years.

Ted, the adored; Ted. the only male
in a family of nine, was i'll. Mrs.
Baker hung over him in all the moth
er's agony. vainly beseeching him to
take his medicine, while down in the
library the other members of the fam
lily huddled in a terrified group. speak
ing In whispers or gazing blankly at
the certain misery of the future.
"A bad case of pneumonia Dr.
Newman had said. Il must have
nurse. One will be here in an hour"
Then he had started out of the door.
Now, in this family of adoring
women were many prejudices. They
had no advanced IDEAS" and to them
all nurses were bold and forward
creatures, not fit for Ted to meet" Be-
sides. hadn't they read only last week
of a man who had married his nurse,
and didn't that prove that all mem
bers of the profession take advantage
of a mans weak and susceptible con-
dition to make love to him? Was Ted.
whose matrimonial prospects were
unknown to him, the subject of
numerous family discussions, to
be coerced into marrying nurse:
Did not each sister have a best
friend saved for him, and-why,
the whole future happiness of
the family depended on the sort OF
girl he married. A nurse! Cousin
Lizzie, tiny woman of uncertain
years, rose to the emergency as she
heard the click of the door-latch. and
burst out, "Oh, doctor. nurse! Con-
slider our feelings!"
DR.. Newman had no time to under
stand, and he answered shortly: Feel
ings? l am considering your feelings.
The boy Is very i'll. l am unwilling
to trust him in any but a trained
hand"
Miss Brooks wondered why she was
kept in the parlor, and why the family
came in one by one to bring her
glass of water, to offer her fruit. to
show her photographs of the Paris ex-
position. She began to find the situa-
tion interesting.
Mother says she can't leave Ted,
but we must make a change" reported
Alice, the youngest daughter, in the
library.
At the same time Cousin Lizzie came
from her inspection in the parlor. She
had made the excuse of finding out the
price, and Miss Brooks had answered
twenty-five dollars a week as a rule
but $50 for contagious diseases and
men," No appreciation of the humor
had come to Cousin Lizzie, and now
she said: "If he doesn't die he will
marry her." in the manner of one who
leclined to determine which contin-
gency would be worse. At last, with
an expression of conscious heroism,
and a murmur OF protecting the dear

In addition to the money to be spent

Ono Hundred Million.

The prediction of the director of
census that the United States with her
new accessions will have population
of 100. 10000 in 1910 is likely TO be
fulfilled.
We began the present decade with
approximately 100000 people in the
states and territories including Ha-
waii and Alaska. In the states there
was an Increase of about 81 per cent
from the figures of 1890, a falling off OF
more than 3 per cent from the in
crease of the preceding decade. The
natural order is for the percentage to
decline as the country becomes more
thickly settled. but immigration has
Shown new life during the last four or
five years, and we still have an i'm
mense amount of unoccupied land to
attract newcomers, while the cxpan-
sion of our manufactures offers new
inducements to many kinds of labor
There is no apparent reason. therefore,
why the rate of increase should decline
Putting it at 20 per cent, the estimate
would give us an addition of $1,000. 900

To Extsrminate Ants.

Powdered borax sprinkled around
the infested places will exterminate
both red ants and black ants. Powder
ed cloves are said to drive them away.
Another plan is to grease plate with
lard, and set it where these insects
abound. They prefer lard to anything
else, and will forsake sugar for it. Pace
few sticks around the plate for the
ants to climb up on. Occasionally turn
the plate bottom up over the fire, and
the ants will fall in with the melted
lard. (2) Set a quantity of cracked
walnuts or shellbarks on plates in the
closet where these ants congregate
The ants will collect on the nuts in
myriads. Turn nuts and ants together
into the fire, and put fresh nuts on the
plates. Then powder camphor and put
in the holes and crevices of the closet

Tho ScOtch-Irish Tunnel.

The project OF a Scotch-Irish tunnel
is again under discussion In tho
United Kingdom. There is no longer
any question as to the practicability
of the undertaking, as many engineers
of celebrity have pronounced it en-
tirely feasible. In the recent engi-
neering congress the views of such ex-
perts as Barton, Mansergh. and Fox
were given freely on tho subject. Mr..
Barton favored n marine tunnel and
held that one might be constructed
and put in working order between
Wigtownshire in Scotland and the
County Antrim coast in Ireland within
a dozen years. Sir Douglas Fox was
confident that less trouble would be
encountered from water than had been
met with in the case Of the tunnel
under the Mersey, or that under the
Severn. Sir James Mansergh was of
the opinion that there would be less
trouble from water in n submarine
tunnel than in one nearer the surface
of the earth. All held that the prob
lem of ventilation could easily be-
solved by electric power.

THE PAN AMERICANS DEFICIT.

The Pan American Exposition, al
though a great artistic and education
al success, closed with deficit now
estimated at not less than $4.OOO.OOO.
While this is doubtless a disappoint-
ment to many of the stockholders who
were led to believe that the balance
would be on the other side of the
ledger, 1t is not surprise to those
who are familiar with the history of
exposition enterprises and who know
something about the cost of the rain

Niagara frontier by the public-spirited
citizens OF Buffalo.
1t was an exhibition of fine courage

achievement OF harnessng the Mag
ara Cataract into an all-American ex-
position illustrating the progress of
the nations of the western hemisphere.
Having undertaken 1t. however. she
carried out the Pan-American idea
upon a scale of artistic beauty that
captivated all who beheld it.
Notwithstanding the financial de-
ficit, the exposition, with its I'M
equaled electrical display, will stand
in memory as superb reminder of the
public spirit and enterprise of the
City of Buffalo. With the dark shad-

excitement. She laid a trembling hand

herself perfectly. In calm tone she
asked, "Shall have the office send you

tightening of the lips. He lay still to

Miss Stewards best friends could
never call her pretty. The Baker fam
lily did not care to see what was in

against certain qualities supposed to
be irresistible to the stronger sex. The
family was terror-stricken into full
appreciation of her professional quail

the value of her calm. alert strength,
and took comfort. When the crisis

Studying Memory of Frogs and Turtles.

Among recent lines OF study in the
psychological laboratory at Harvard
have been the memory and perceptive
faculties of the frog and the turtle.
the training of new habits in the cray
fish, and the symptoms of memory in
the newt. OF these the ones i4volving
the frog and the turtle have been the
most extensive and the most interest
ing-if only because OF Aesop and his
followers down to Joel Chandler Har-
ris and the nights of Uncle Remus.
Both animals are fixed in the imagina-
tion of mankind and all grown-up chill
dren will be glad to learn that the ver-
dict of the centuries on the compare
tive Judgment and wisdom of the tur-
tie is confirmed by the exact methods
of modern science.
In the first place, before making
comparisons, 1t becomes necessary to
determine whether these 1owly crea-
lures had any faculty Of memory at all
and this required special apparatus
handily put together from dry goods
boxes. In one box called the NEST"
were cool sand and stones, well shaded
with a board-a true haven for rest

other box, with a single opening COM

vided into a series of long and com
parative narrow compartments by
means of sliding pieces. through the
