and rip gaps i'm consignments of cloth
and other goods, rendering whole
lengths of material entirely valueless.
There are twenty seven sheds at the
London and India docks, each of which
stands upon an acre of ground. An
old man named Lawrence, who for ten
years endeavored to check the increas-
ing horde of rats by means of traps
and various poisons. calculates that
burrowing under the floors of each
shed are at least 1000 rodents.
Upon this estimate, which is con-
sidered a conservative one, the rat
population of the docks is $4,000. Ex-
perience has proved-so far as figures
go-that each rat does damage to the
extent of at least one farthing a day.
Thus the rats at the docks are
responsible for nearly $500 worth of
damage a day.
The remedy by which it is hoped to
eXterminate this rat army in space
of six months is not in the nature of a
poison Potatoes are infected with
tasteless germ peculiarly deadly to rats
and mice. and then placed in the rat
runs" The rats after eating the po-
tatoes contract wasting disease.
This, in addition to proving fatal at
the end of three or four days, is highly
contagious to other rodents.

De aths by Lightning.

Thus early in the summer there have
been several deaths by lightning in
Maine, a form of fatality which from
it's very mystery and it's awful sud
denness strikes peculiar terror to the
hearts of most of us. In at least one
instance the victim had sought refuge
from the shower under tree-the
most dangerous spot in his vicinity. A
writer in the Springfield Republican
points out that one-third of those who
meet death by lightning in this coun-
try during a summer are killed under
trees The living tree is the great nat
ural conductor of electricity between
the earth and the cloud With it's roots
striking down into the damp soil and
it's thousands of leaves serving to tip

Some 300 children in the care of

annual chldrens hiring market at
F'riedrichshafen in Wurtemburg. At
this market, which is held at the end
of March every year. whole troops of
boys and girls from II to IA years OF
age, coming from the Tyrol and
Norarlberg, are hired by the farmers
and peasants.
They stand in rows in the market
place in the early morning for the in
spection of their prospective masters.
The term of service is seven months
and the wages paid for that period
range from GO los to Ga. The feast of
st. Judge, October rs, marks the end
of their service, and they are sent back
to their homes.
Their employment is of varied char

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Cordial Welcome to All.
(Bangor Commercially


One of the great sources of Names
income during the summer months is
derived from it's summer resorts and
watering places and the remarkable
irrease in the past few years is a
source of wonder to everybody who
sails along the Maine coast. VI
course we have our great resorts as
Bar Harbor and the lesser ones COM
mencing at Petit Manan and extending
along the shores of Washington, Han
cock, Waldo, Knox, Lincoln, Sagada-
hoe and Cumberland. But in the past
few years it seems as if almost every
headland has become crowded with
it's quota of summer cottages and
every picturesque nook along the
shore occupied by those who are
anxious to escape from the noise and
dust, the heat and turmoil of the city
and imbibe the cool air and enjoy the
health giving climate of Maine.
By no means all Names summer col
onies are confined to the coast.
There are such great resorts as Poland
Spring and Kineo and thousands OF
camps and farm houses in the Pine
Tree State welcoming the hosts Of city
folks and incidentally add to their saw
ings thereby.
Under these circumstances it is in
deed gratifying to note that the pres
ent summer gives promise of being one
of the most lucrative that Maine has
ever known in respect to it's revenue
from summer traffic and entertain
ment. From all the resorts, the
greater and the lesser come word of
an excellent early patronage and
promises of a splendid summer. This
means income to the railroads, the
hotels, the farmers, the livery stables,
the merchants generally, the fisher
men and about everyone and of course
is fraught with much meaning to the
State as whole. AS a rule the city
people who come to Maine feel that
they receive fair treatment and get
good entertainment at fair prices.
Here and there they may meet with
exorbtant prices but such are the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
Maine has invigorating air and pic
turesque and magnificent scenery to
spare and cheerfuly shares these
with all visitors only asking due ap-
probation and advertisement of our
magnificent attractions.

the whole tree comes to be charged, it
forms model (which science follows
iH8dging down rules for the construc-
ton of artificial lightning rods upon
buildings. Much of the electrical en-
ergy gathered in a thunder cloud is
doubtless drawn off quietly and HARM
lessly through the agency of these nav
ural lightning rods, and If there were
more trees there would be fewer
strokes of violence. This is indicated
by the fact that trees on the edge of
a forest are often struck by lightning
and not often in the midst of it, Thus
the isolated tree or thin groups of trees
are always to be avoided in a thunder
storm, for they form natural pathways
by which the electricity of the clouds
draws upon and is drawn by that of
the earth, and when the clouds are
heavily charged these pathways gen
orally prove too few or short for the
work in hand and give way to violent
discharges, which are fatal to those
who happen by.
Some people act as though atmos-
pheric electricity followed no laws
whatever. and they ridicuIe what are
called attempts to dodge lightning" "
Others fly to an extreme of precautions
which are apt to pay more attention to
certain old saws and feather-bed folk
lore than to the teachings of scientific
observation and experiment. 1t is true
that as yet science has not mastered
the subject in hand; very far from it,
But observation and experience do cer-
tainly establish a truth or two in re-
gard to the ways Of lightning, and one
of them has been mentioned. Another
is that these electrical discharges fol-
when a dwelling happens to be over
charged the current will pass up or
down the damp chimney or by an open
window or door, rather than through a
closed window or the wall of the house.
And the lesson of this is not necessa-
rily that windows should be closed as
a protection against lightning, but that
one should not remain by an open VIM
dow or door during a severe storm.
Some day, we doubt not. men will
have this subject in full understanding
and mastery. Some day these excep-
tional accumulations of electrical en-
ergy in the atmosphere will be drawn
off noiselessly and harmlessly. and put
to the service of the race instead of
remaining a terror to most people and
more or less of danger. But mean
time it becomes the part of wisdom
and not of foolish fear to act upon
what little is known about the nature
and ways of atmospheric electricity.
