Ravenous Rats.

It is estimated that the rat does
$4,000, 600 worth of damages year in
England. In q slaughterhouse near
Paris rats in single night picked 10
the bone the carcasses OF thfrty-iye
horses. There is very little that they
win not eat; eggs, young birds and
animals are among the dainties which
they snap up In the ordinary course
OF business. But when pressed by
hunger they will eat anything through
which they can drive their terrible
teeth. Rat will eat rat The idea that
q trapped rat will bite Of an inpris-
oned leg and SO escape is now said to
be wrong; 1t is the other rats which do
the biting. They eat the captive.

After dinner, Mr.. D. B. Shelter who

Thomas Condor Dead,

Eugene, Or, Feb. 11-Dr. Thomas
Condor, Oregon's venerable geologist,
died this morning at 10 o o'clock at the
home OF Mrs. II. F. Mccormick, two
miles southwest OF Eugene. DR.. Con-
don met with an attack of the grip about
three weeks ago, and this, in connection
with his age, 81 years, made recovery
doubtful. 1t was given out today that
his death was due to senile exhaustion.
Professor Condor was one OF the rec
ognized geologists OF National note, and
gave particular attention to the geology
of Oregon in his book, "The Two Is
lands"

This certainly was nice game
and the lone ladies proved them
selves graceful losers and credi
to their little city. Team work
counts and in this respect the loca
team had the best of it.
John Blake acted as referee and
Louis Bisbee as umpire, Frank
Gillian, scorer, and Wilson, OF
lone, time keeper.
Immediately after time was
called on the ladies the much
looked for boys game was called
by Judge White, of lone, and the
game proceeded in all it's fury. 1t
started off in fine spirit and lasted
l6 minutes and spectators say that
it was the fastest 16 minutes OF
basket ball witnessed this winter.
The game was sailing along in
fine shape when all of sudden
the "lid" flew off and away went
Captain Carter with the fragments
of his team. The local team had
just settled down to good hard
playing and in less than no time
would have had the game on their
"hip," but it happened and we are
all sorry Of it. Mr.. Carter says
he was afraid of a fight and that is
the explanation.
The score stood 10 to when
the unexpected happened and
Blake threw a basket on a foul
just SIS his team walked off the
field, throviDg this in, the score
stood 10 to Z.
We don't know why the lone
boys quit the game, for they GER
tainly were not getting the worst
of the referees decisions.

accompanied the visitors, also sew

as 1t lay In It's natural bed when quar-

rule Is not always TO be depended upon
and needs In many cases to be supple
mented with other precautions. There
are three planes OF fracture known to
quarrymen The rift Is the direction
in which the stone splits most easily
the grain that which Is next easiest
the head that which offers the greatest
resistance. In i paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
