RoTHsCH1LD AND WATERLOO.
One Member Of That Famous House
Made Six Millions by the Battle.

From Leslie's Weekly.
There Is probably no more picturesque
and unique bit OF financiering in history
than that by which Nathan Rothschild
made 5000 goo as result of the battle Of
Waterloo. Rothschild had followed We'll
lington during his campaign against Napo-
leon, and at Waterloo the man Of money"
sat like a soldier in a shower of rain and
bullets, watching the battle. AS soon as he
observed the arrival of Butcher and the
rout of the French, Rothschild set spurs
to his horse and rode swiftly to Brussels
A carriage whirled him to Ostend, and the
next morning he was at the Belgian coast.
The sea was 80 rough that he had to pay
channel, and he landed at Dover in the
evening. The next morning he was in Lon
don before the opening of the stock ex-
change. 1t was known that he had come d.
latest news He had outstripped all the
couriers and messengers Of the nation.
There was no telegraph then. In answer
to the anxious inquiries for the news of
Wellington, Rothschild discreetly said moth
ing of the battle Of Waterloo. Instead, he
sighed, and told Of Butchers previous de-
feat at Ligny, and said that as a result
there could be little hope for Wellington.
The gloomy report caused panic on the
exchange, and when the market had
reached the bottom Nathan Rothschild
bought everything that he could. find money
for-all being done quietly through his
brokers'. Then came the news of the battle
of Waterloo. England's victory, the final
defeat Of Napoleon. Securities Of all kinds
went up with a rush. and Nathan Roths-

New Cure for Kleptomania.


A few years back a West End shopkeeper,

process OF law. The same correspondent

ELECTRIC DEATH FOR RATS
Effective Protection for Small Birds in
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 ma
chine he has recently perfected. but in all
probability It will be named ''Stephan's cleo
trio 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 a splendid
place for foraging, and that game birds,
such as pheasants and quail, were numer-
GUS in the big Enclosure. All that was nee
essary to secure a good meal free of charge
was to jump the fence and pick out the one
which pleased the fancy of the marauder
Superintendent Stephan was the first to dis
cover why so many of these valuable. birds
were missing every now and then, and 1t
did not take him long also to find a remedy
for the trouble. While the Zoo management
is willing to replace its animals and fowls
that fall victims to ordinary diseases or ac-
cidents. it has no desire to furnish food for
all the rodents and felines in Avondale, and
Mr.. Stephan 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 inclo-
sure caused him to dress hastily and repair
to the spot AS he approached he noticed
large ana rusty looking rat taxing 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
slay 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 superin
tendent 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.
At daybreak several large and well fed
rodents were discovered as dead as the pro-
verbal doornail on the outside of the fence,
where they had fallen after coming In con-
tact with the charged wire. The next night
Mr.. Stephan was awakened by wall OF
pain and surprise that made the air vibrate.
At first he thought the animals were hold
ing political meeting In the carnfvora, but
another howl put him at ease. 1t was mere
ly the death wall of a cat, which had tempt
ed fate once too often and fallen victim TO
Its own expensive appetite.
Since then q 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 IL they
hoped to be alive the next day.
