RATS AS A WORLD MENACE.
Man Must Drive Them Out or Be
Driven, SAYS French Scientist.


Or. A. Cnlmcttc. French scientist,
In n recent number Of La Revue du
Noise predicts that mankind will have
10 engage In general warfare on
rats befnra many more years elapse II
the world IL to continue TO bc hnhita-
Bile. lie points out that the peril
comes from the migratory rat, which
follows the march II men into every
cline. Rats Of other breeds have been
known ever since man Gcgnn 10 keep
records. The migratory or sewer rat
Is first mentioned IN lG2n, when he
was n native of Persia and East In
dia He dill not invade Europe until
the eighteenth century.
Professor Calmcttc says that the
sewer rat did not appear In America
until 1856 As late as 1870 he had not
yet reached the hcadwaters Of the
Missouri BY 1900 he had gone up to
the permanent lee belt.
At present, the scientist continues,
this migratory rodent Is destroying in
the West Indies. IN the Azores and in
the Cape Verde islands annually hun
drcds Of thousands of dollars worth
Of coffee. banana. sugar and orange
plantations.
As sample Of what he can do the
case If an island in the estuary Of the
river Humber is cited. This island
once kept in condition all the year
around about 5000 head Of cattle. The
place was infested 10y rats fifteen
years ago. Today there Is not enough
vcrdurc on the island to nourish n
rabbit
Dr. Calmctte says within two years
single pair of rats will ordinarily
multiply to 1,13G.

"well, will show you that a watch
can be gone and going at the same

walked to his desk. opened n drawer
and took out a handsome gold time

his own.
McDermott, a cavalry sergeant, for
several years the presidents orderly,
riding on q recent afternoon at re-
spectful distance behind the presiden-

identified It as Mr.. Meyers, and the

NEW SUNSTR0KE CURE.

ilo Benefit.
No more sunstrokes and no recur-
rences of the same for persons who
have been stricken with heat.
The Higher Practical Educational so
ciety of Chicago believes that 1t has
made discovery that will be of prac-
tical benefit to thousands, perhaps
millions.
The proposition is simple-Just block
the inside Of your hat with felt and
you never will suffer from sunstroke.
The society is not absolutely sure of
this, but from experiments Is positive
that felt lining will prevent any re
currence Of heat trouble.
]. w. Gossard Of the society is very
enthusiastic about 1t.
There are many men who went
through the Cuban war and suffered
from heat prOstrations who have been
repeatedly attacked by the same trou-
BILE ever since" he said the other day,
"and when we accidentally discovered
stand the rays OF the run II they wore

experiment. For three seasons now
We have had men wearing straw hats

New York coiffeurs are trying to IN
troduce the italian fashion Of wearing
a tiny poniard In the hair. IT'S
pretty Idea, even II trihe murderous,
for in King VictoPs realm the orna-
ment often has a more practical and
therefore tragic use than to serve as a
coiffure skewer. But, since the New
York woman has been trusted safely
vAith, the hatpin, doubtless the poniard
may be confided to her care with equal
safety, says the New York Press.
Many OF those made for women in
New York are copies of the fifth cen
tury models, with jeweled hlts and
blades almost as slender as bodkins.
They flash gloriously against dark
hair. but they are not so effective for
bionds. However. there is no ques.
ton that light haired women will wear
them II the brunettes do. The blonds
complexion is not as positive ms that
OF her olive skinned sister. but she is
not seen frequently In the extreme
rear of the social procession.

"Dnttleshlps Of the future Will use

Nixon, the shipbulldcr and naval ex-

recently returned 10 New York from
England, was commenting ON n report

long, Brown says. and Is made with
copper nails. bolts and washers. 1t
has doors and windows In the upper
works and hears peculiar letters un-
known by any traveller, besides some
Russian words.

GREAT PHOSPHATE BEDS.



Latoss Find on 9 Pacific Island sur-
passss Any Vet Discovered.
Nothing IN recent years has contrib
uted no much TO increase the economic
Importance TO the ocean world as the
discovery here and there OF great beds
Of phosphates. These series Of new
nnds among the islands began about
twelve years ago. when a British sur
vey vessel, dredging In the Indian
pcenn, brought from the depths n piece
Of phosphate that was traced TO the
ueighboring Christmas island, an unin-
habited rock where some hAndreds of
men now find employment I'm the phos-
phate works.
Then came even more noteworthy
surprises. Large beds Of phosphate
were found on Ocean island, over
which no country had taken the trou-
BILE to raise its flag; on the German
island Of Nauru, west Of the Gilberts,
and on Maiden island, a British rock
far south Of the island Of Hawaii.
All these little islands had been un-
considered trife5 in the ocean world,
but now there is always a ship or two
Of their shores and the hustle of
mining camp on their small surfaces.
The latest find surpasses everything
yet discovered. says the New York
Sun. Makatea, only four and n half
miles long and one and n half miles
wide Is Just now the most talked Of
bit Of land In the eastern Pacific. II
stands In the Paumotu group. about
100 miles northwest Of Tahiti. The
engineers who have been studying Its
phosphate beds estimate that 1t con-
tains at least 100000 tons of the
richest of phosphates. the analyses
revealing from % to 81 and even 90
per cent Of pure phosphate. The island
rises to 230 feet above the sea, hns no
lagoon, and the work Of prospecting
for more beds IL not yet completed.
Preparations are now being made at
an expense OF 100000 TO extract the
deposits at the rate OF 100000 tons n
year.
Phoephates have also been found on
Eiau and some other atolls Of this
archipelago. Such discoveries Of great
natural wealth In the Pacific are GER
tain to stimulate more thorough eff
forts to ascertain the extent Of the
natural wealth which the myriad is
lands have to offer the world.
