The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1902-10-21

Consul Heenan at Odessa reports on
? crr'e.@; device to prevent rats carry
ing contagious diseases into ships.
The cable of the shin was run through
a piece of iron PIPE afout foot in
length, and welded on the end of the
pipe was a fiange or funNel. which
looked like the end of trumpsC 18th
the wide end facing the ship. The iro-
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-
vent rats from passing through it.
This novel construction was quite
close to the ship The Russian au-
thorities furnish these appliances and
oblige all ships to use them whenever
they come from a part infected with
the plague, in order to prevent the rats
on the ship coming on shore. 1t is
generally conceded that the plague has
been carried and spread by rats which
have left ships coming from infected
ports. 1t is known that rats make use
of the cable to come on shore, and this
iron pipe, with its funnel-shaped ar
rangement was employed to prevent
such visits, if possible. These devices
are aIJacneu 10 edCH cdDle ny WHICH
the ship is moored. In addition to this
precaution the master of the ship is
obliged to take down his loading
stages every night and erect them
again the following morning In order
to prevent the rats coming on shore.
The report of the medical register of
the North London Hospital for Con-
sumption at Hampstead states that 1873
cases have been treated on the open
air principle since January, and of
these 43.7 per cent left the hospital to
return to work, 1928 per cent distinctly
improved, rs slightly improved, 4.5
did not improve, and 39 died. 1t is
stated to be common occurrence for
patients to enter the hospital with
marked signs of the disease and to
leave after nine or ten weeks with no
sign of active disease and an increase
of ten to twenty pounds in weight.

have been heard for week or two, but
one night last week the ghost outdid all
it's previous attempts and for several
hours furnished a large audience with all

foot square. All the sounds closely, re-
sembled the sound a person would make
in rapping on board with his knuckles.
At times the rappings were soft and low
and again they would resemble a snare
drum solo and then again a sudden out
burst of energy would make the walls
vibrate and tremble and the windows rat
tie. ~ ...-t
When any Of the spectators would sing
or whistle the sound would be in perfect
harmony with the music. The crowd who
was present organized search party and
tore the siding, paper and boards off the
part of the room from whence the sound
seemed to come. but no explanation OF
the ranping could be found. 81.
