MANIFOLD SINS RATS
Estimated That Each Rat in
Great Beitian Costs a Earth.
ering a Day.

The rats sins are manifold, SAYS
the London Spectator. The damage
which he does in year 10 crops. car
goes. stores. granarles. poultry and
game. diaries and outhouses, founda-
tons. walls, and drainage can not b3
calculated exactly but it must be
enormous. He Is ubiquitous; he
swarms in fields. hedges. coverts,
farmyards, cellars. sewers. docks and
ships; he is clever in getting out Of
difficulties extremely courageous, able
TO exist on almost any kind of food
and horribly prolific. 1t is impossible
to check. though many people wouI.i
accept. the calculation made by Herr
Iuschlag, Danish engineer. that
there are more rats in Great Britain
than there are men, women and chill
dren. and that each rat costs the com
munity farthing n day for board and
lodging. Forty million rats costing n
farthing n day works out at the pref.
ty figure of 1855 lbs. a day, or over
100000 lbs. per annum.
Perhaps those figures may seem ex-
cessive, or even ridiculous; but now
and then 1t Is possible to estimate the
damage done in small area OF
sIouhd' and the amount may be pro-
digious. For instance. when the Lon.
don County Council pulled down the
buildings north of the Strand By
kingssway and Aldwych it was found
That Catherine street. Drury lane and
The ncighboring streets were infested
by great troops of rats. which had
done damage to the extent of 5000
lbs. One of their achievements was
TO gnaw to pieces over 100 napkins
behind the wainscot of the bandstanl
of the Gaiety restaurant. aud another
to remove and stack thirty or forty
