POLITE LETTER TO A RAT.
Found In the Ruins of House-Re-

Found In the Ruins of House-Re-
minder Of a Boyhood Superstition.
Over on the West Side of the city
a long low of old-fashioned dwellings
has been torn down this spring to
make way for some modern business
buildings. While they were being de-
molished the contractor in charge was
approached one day by a workman,
who handed him a soiled and worn
envelope which had been found among
the brick and plaster
The faded inscription, "Mr. Gray
Rat" prompted the contractor to read
the letter. 1t ran:
Dear MIR. Rat-Although we realize
that our house is greatly honored by
your presence and that of your ex.
ceeding numerous and sprightly fam.
lily, we feel that it is selfish of us to
expect to have monopoly of your so.
ciety, and we would humbly suggest
that you vacate our premises and
select as your abode the residence
of our neighbor, number 127, which
we are sure you will find a pleasant
and profitable place. With most sin.
cere assurances of our deep esteem,
believe us, most respectfully yours,
THE SMITH FAMILY"
The laborer was puzzled, but the
contractor, after struggling with some
dim boyhood recollections, was able
to explain it. There is, or rather
there used to be, sort of tradition
that if the tenant of a rat infested
house were to write note to the rats,
couched in terms of extreme polite
ness, requesting them to go else
where, and post it on a rat hole, the
rats might oblige.
The contractor remembered way
back in his childhood days in a coun-
try town writing just such note,
politely asking rat family to trans
fer their attention to a neighbor
who had been vindictive, and firmly
believing, on their temporarily dis
appearing, that it was the note that
did it.
The contractor took the letter
home to show his small boy that let
ters to Santa Claus were not the only
old epistles, and that there were 9TH
er places besides chimneys which
could serve as mail boXes.-New

FRUITFUL FURNACES.

Real diamonds md Rubies From the
Cruciblo OF the Furnace.
Recent adviccs from France state
that Professor Moissan, the eminent
scientist and inventor, has actually
succeeded in making genuine dia-
monds and rubles. He employs for
this purpose the electric furnace.
which has been so improved that a
degree of heat can be produced ap.
preaching the extreme temperatures
which were undoubtedly factor in
the formation of minerals and gems in
the interior OF the earth.
The rubles obtained are OF large
size, weighing ten or fifteen carats.
and In quality and color equal and
even surpass those found in the earth.
The natural forces attending the for.
nation of diamonds seem to have
been more complicated. and so far the
diamonds resulting from the efforts OF
the scientists have been very small.
brit still they are positively identified
as the carbon crystalline diamond.
They are remarkably clear and bright,
and on small scale as fine specimens
as natures own product
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with n whole series of new
compounds. Probably the one of most
value to mankind at large is Calcium
Carbide. The simple application Of
water to Calcium Carbide generates
the gas Acetylene, which is now being
commonly used for lighting.

a few words making appointments
for meetings at various places, one
appointment being for the fatal night
at the spot where Webber's body was
found. The writer of that letter was
in all probability the murderer. Sus.
picion now centered around young
fellow in whose company Webber had
been seen.
The day before the murder the sus-
pected man had, it was developed,
visited a shop to purchase sheet of
note paper He had then asked for a
pen and an envelope, and requested
permission to sit at the counter and
write a brief letter. When he had
gone the shopman found half sheet
of paper left on the counter in the
blotting pad at which the prisoner
had been writing This half sheet
the man put back into the box, with
the other paper. The last note found
in the dead girls box, making the
fatal appointment, was written on a
half sheet of paper. This and the
piece left by the accused man in the
shop were put together. Microscopic
examination revealed the fact that the
two halves made one sheet. The man
was executed.
A piece of paper played an extra
ordinary part in the trial OF a Wilt
shire farmer at the Salisbury Assizes.
The prisoner has been charged with
having sent an anonymous threaten.
ing letter to a neighbor Witnesses
acquainted with the prisoners writing
were called to prove that the letter
was in his hand. Others, equally as
well able to judge, declared that the
writing was not his. But the pro-
secution had what appeared to be
most conclusive evidence of the pris-
oners guilt.
Three of these anonymous letters
had been roughly torn out of single
sheet. In writing desk in the pris-
oners house the detectives found a
scrap of paper, which, when fitted
with the three pieces on which the
letters were written, exactly formed
one sheet. The ragged edges of the diff
ferent portions exactly fitted each 9th
er and the watermark and name of
the maker, which was divided into
three parts, were perfect when the
pieces of paper were placed together
The evidence appeared overwhelming,
and the prisoner protesting his in
nocence, was sentenced to penal SER
vitude. The prisoner was removed,
when suddenly a person stood up in
court and denounced himself as the
real criminal. He was the son of the
prisoner-a youth Of IS.
He wrote upon piece of paper
from memory the contents of the
three threatening letters. His hand
writing was exactly that in the Grim
malls epistle; mistakes in spelling
which appeared in them were repro
duced in the sons writings. He had,
he explained, had access to the writ
ing desk of his fathers room, and
had abstracted the paper from it.
There could be no doubt of his guilt,
and the father was pardoned while
the son went to prison for seven
years.

HUNTER OF PARASITES.
His Mission Is To Find Natural Cures
For Insect Pests,

He had just arrived in London from
Brazil, and was off the next day to
the Antipodes. found him in the of.
fee of the Agent-General for Western
Australia, says a writer in the Daily
Mail. He was carrying a little box
containing few commonplace look
ing beetles. Yet to find those beetles
he had travelled fifteen thousand miles
and searched far and wide.
For the bronzed and hardy traveller
follows the least known profession on
earth, that of the parasite hunter. For
years he has been travelling, literally
from China to Peru, in his search for
insects that will aid the farmer in
his war against pests.
Il am tracker down of the natural
cures for the insect pests that are do
ing damage costing hundreds of mil
lions every year" said Mr.. Compere,
in answer to my questions. Every
country has it's different plaques. How
do these pests come? Here London
affords you the simplest illustration.
Millions of insects are carried into
England every day in the merchan-
disc that arrives from abroad, some in
the stackings of eastern cargoes,
some in the dried foliage around
tropical produce.
"At any time one of the.J strange
insects, carried here in such a fashion
might find that the English climate
suited it, and that one of your native
products (possibly wheat) supplied it
with a suitable food. If there were
nothing to counteract it, it would in
a few years spread all over England,
breeding in great numbers several
times year. Before many had
quite realized what was the matter,
your wheat crop would be ruined.

My method is this: When seeking an
antidote | first find the native home
of the pest | wish to attack. Then to
go there, get into the country, and ex.

any damage, and | am almost sure
to find that at some stage of its life
another insect attacks and destroys
it. Then have found what | want

with me and breed it to fight the pest.
Every pest has its parasite, and
the right way to fight pests is through
their parasites. Western Australia is
setting the way here in practical
fruit culture and farming, and others
will benefit from its work"

Many Russian HOLIDAYS.

Russian days of religious and civil
observanCes are numerous beyond
reason, and become a sort of servi-
tude, hampering labor and all com
mercial enterprises. 1t has been
pointed out that in all Protestant
countries the farmer has about $40
days to work in. In Catholic coun-
tries where holidays have not been
limited by statute workmen and farm
ers still have about 800 days, while in
Russia the very most that the people
can do is to work 250 days. This
means that the workmen and farm
ers of Russia have their year cut
down to five or six weeks less than
that of the farmers of Austria and
Italy and to two months less than in
England and the United States. 1t
is pointed out that this is \ patent
cause for the economic fnferiority of
Russia as compared with other ma
tions, the more so that in every pro-
vince, village, and family local holi'
days. anniversaries, birthdays, saints
days, ETC., are added.

The examination revealed the fact

busted themselves with making and
hiding in the after lazaret several
gunny bales of junk and rubbish and
an assortment of smuggler's bags of

There was no tobacco on board and
no reason for holding the vessel; in

for false arrest, but he generously

effects of Grape-Nuts when used by

"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-

Nuts is superior to n pound of meat

consideration for any one. 1t satisfies
