RAT SKIN EAR MUFFS.

Tokio. Dec 6.-When the time came to forward the winter outfits for ths armies in Manchuria and the commls' sariat produced hundreds of thousands of fur ear protectors, Japanese and foreigners alike wondered where these things could come from. .So one haG ever heard of their being made.
 It seems that two years ago the plague was raging along the China coast. The Japanese quarantine bu- reau decided that strenuous efforts must be made to keep the dread disease out of the country. They determined to start a crusade. In all the seaports and larger cities bounties were offered for each rat brought in. The small boys found this a great source of rev enLe and the competition at once be- came very keen. For each rodent the huntsman was given small sum and a lottery ticket. The money he might squander, but the ticket he saved. and at the end of the month there was q drawing, with prizes varying from So to $50. Rat catcling became popu. lar amusement and the boards of health all over the country were kept busy examining the daily bag. Each animal was duly registered and the place in which it was caught noted. It was then examined and if any sus- picious germs were discovered the building from which the rat came was immediately raided, all the animals hunted down and the place disinfected.
 In this manner the p,ague was kept out of Japan. The small boys amused themselves and made money, but no one ever stopped to think of what had become of the skins of these millions of rats that had been worrying the boards of health. They had not been thrown away. The military authorities had used them 10 make ear protectors.
