ELECTRIC DEATH FOR RATS.
Effective Protection for Small Birds In
Cincinnati Zoo

Cincinnati Zoo.
Supt. Stephan, Of the Zoo, is thinking
decided exactly what to call the machine
he has recently perfected, but in all prob
ability 1t will be named "Stephans cleo
trio rat eXterminator' The invention
was born Of that necessity which has
mothered so many other labor saving de-
vices, 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 the game
birds, such as pheasants and quail were
numerous in the big inclosure. All that

and pick out the one which pleased the
fancy Of the marauder. Supt. Stephan
these valuable birds We're missing every
now and then, and 1t did not take him
long to find remedy for the trouble
While the Zoo management is willing
to replace its animals and fowls that
fall victims TO ordinary disease or acct
dents, 1t has no desire TO furnish food for
all the rodents and felines in AvondaIe,
and Mr. Stephans Immediately set about
putting an end to the free lunches. One
evening. after he had retired to rest
a suspicious noise in the locality of the
pheasant mclosure caused him to dress
hastily and repair to the spot. AS he
approached he noticed a large and ru1ty
looking rat taking French leave over
the fence. with Il handsome pheas SAINT in
its mouth Mr.. Stephan said things that al
would not look well in print. and sat
UP the rest of the night. waiting TO slay
any other rats that might appear on a like
errand, but without result
The next day Mr.. Stephan did some
deep thinking, with satisfactory results.

the fence and connected with live cleo

closed for the night the current was
turned on, and the superintendent went
to bed convinced that there would be
lively times for any animal that tried
TO cross the trocha he had prepared for
the enemy Nor was he wrong.
