ELECTRIC DEATH FOR RATS.
Effective Protection for Small Birds in
City Zoo.

-
City Zoo.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
Superintendent Stephan Of the Zoo is
thinking Of getting out patent. He has not
decided exactly what to call the machine he
has recently perfected, but in all probability
it will be named "stephan's electric rat
exterminator." The invention was born of
that necessity which has mothered SO many
other labor-saving devices and has proved
invaluable to the Zoo.
Not long ago number of rats and stray
cats discovered that the Zoo was splendid
place for foraging, and that game birds,
such as pheasants and quail, were numer-
GUS in the big inclosure. All that was nee
essary to secure a good meal, free of
charge. was to jump the fence aud pick out
the one which pleased the fancy Of the
marauder. Superintendent Stephan was
the first to discover why so many Of these
valuable birds were missing every now and
then. and it did not take him long to also
find remedy for the trouble. While the
Zoo management Is willing to replace it's
animals and fowls that fall victims to or
binary diseases or accidents, it has no de-
sire to furnish food for all the rodents and
felines in Avondale, and Mr.. Stephan i'm
mediately set about putting an end to the
free lunches. One evening, after he had
retired to rest, suspicious noise in the To-
cality Of the pheasant Enclosure caused him
to dress hastily and repair to the spot. AS
he approached he noted a large and rusty
looking rat taking French leave over the
fence, with a handsome pheasant in its
mouth. Mr.. Stephan said things that would
not look well in print, and sat up the rest
Of the night, waiting to STAY any other rats
that might appear on like errand, but
without result.
The next day Mr.. Stephan did some deep
thinking, with satisfactory results. A wire
was stretched along the top of the fence
and connected with live electric light
wire. When the garden was closed for the
night the current was turned on and the
superintendent went to bed convinced that
that tried to cross the trocha he had pre-
pared for the enemy. Nor was he wrong
At daybreak several large and well-fed
rodents were discovered as dead as the pro-
verbal door nail on the outside Of the fence.
where they had fallen after coming in con-
tact with the charged wire. The next night
MT stephan was awakened by a wall of
pain and surprise that made the air vibrate
At first he thought the animals were hold
Ing political meeting in the carnivora, but
another howl put him at ease. 1t was mere
ly the death wall of a cat which had tempt
ed rate once too often and fallen victim
to its own expensive appetite.
Since then a daily harvest Of rats and
cats is reaped by the attendants at the
Zoo. They are found lying across the wire
or on the ground. but the pheasants are
safe and can sleep with both eyes shut
now. where before they had to keep one
open II they hoped to be alive the next
day.

SANITY Weather Prophets.
From the London Chronicle.

In the reign of Henry VIII proclama-
ton was Issued against almanac makers en-
couraging the belief In saints ruling the
weather. Notwithstanding this and similar
efforts to explode popular notion. certain
saints days are. however, still supposed to
assist In what may be called long distance
forecasts. st. Catharine, whose festival
falls on November Is, is such a saint, for
as at Catharine, foul or fair, 30 will be the
next February" Yesterday there were all
sorts Of weather, tho elements being under
the control OF a gale that was clustering
In the west. Halos, too, have recently been
seen round the moon. so that the omens for
fair st. Catharins's day were hot very
satisfaetory.

How Early sleds Were Made.

From Outing.
From history we learn that the boys in
the time Of George III coasted on sleds
made of a small board with beef bones as
runners, but these dropped out of sight
when an inventive genius built one out Of a
barrel stave. for his invention was extern
sively copied. The barrel slaves were call
ed Jumpers and "skippers." and were
made of single barrel stave of moderate
width to which was nailed a twelve-inch
seat-post about midships. A piece of bar
rel head constituted the seat. To navigate
this craft required no little skill. the revo-
buttons and convolutions performed by the
rider while ''gittin' the range Of the derneG
old thing being akin to the antics Of a
tenderfoot on a bucking bronco. A more
stable and docile jumper was made by fas-
tening two or three slaves side by side but
these were not considered as fast travellers
as the single slaves.
