RAT AND RATHER IN FIGHT
Common House Rodent Defeats Big
Snake in Fierce Battle Last
ing Thirteen Rounds.

New York.-A common house ri
fought Is rounds with a rattlesnaks
wish Is rattles in barn on the farm
Of Edward Hawkins. near Bayonne,
the other day. II killed the RATHER in
the last round Dy getting a strangle
hold on it and retaining it until the
reptile lay dead.
Twelve times the snake coiled,
sprung its rattle, and struck at the
rat. Each time the little animal
lodged and saved itself The RATHER
was coiling for the thirteenth stroke
when the rat dashed in and sank its
long, shap teeth into the snakes neck
until they met and locked. The rat
tier reared itself and thrashed wildly
about the place in its efforts TO free
itself. The rat suffered terrible pun
isbment while that thrashing was go
ing on. Not for an instant, however,
did it loosen its grip. It seemed to
know that to do so would spell death
for II, and it was not ready to die.
When finally the rat had finished its
poisonous foe 1t let go its hold. backed
What it had done.
The fight was not due to accident
1t was set up by Hawkins, truck
farmer, and his brother, Joseph. They
watched it from start to finish, and
after the rat had won they asserted
they would match the victor against
all corners in the rat or the snake line
Joseph is a farmer in Sussex county,
n. J. He took the rattiesnake to
Bayonne in suit case, after he had
captured it in his chicken house and
narrowly had escaped being bitten.
Edward Hawkins had caught a large
,at in a barrel trap. He suggested
that the snake and the rat be per-
mitted to fight to the death The
men thought the RATHER would make
short work of the rat and swallow it.
In the Hawkins barn there is a SMALL
drying room, which has no creyices
in the walls or floor The rat and
the RATHER were turned loose in that
room, and the two Hawkins watched
them from the trap door above. When
the rat had ciTcled about the room and
discovered there was no way it could
escape, 1t dashed at the snake when
ever it was uncoiled The RATHER rat
tied and the rat squeaked viciously
The fight ragged all over the RON, IN
I'll finally the rat got the hid that
strangled the snake with the Inlucky
thirteen rattles.

This is but one of the scandals
which the republican administration

President Taft recommended against
any probing by congress into the sug-

that the legislative body viii feel that

Add to this that Taft has been fore

tariff legislation ever enacted. Again
add that Aldrich has made a tour u

FACTS ABOUT THE
MAGNETIC POLE.

1t is quite superfluous 70 say that
everyone in this country who knows
anything at all knows that the North
Pole has been discovered, while but
"a comparatively few know that the
North Pole and the North Magnetic
Pole are quite different places as wen
as different things. Most people sup
pose that the magnetic needle of
compass points due north, while the
truth is there are very few places on
the surface of the earth where the
needle points due north, says an ex-
change
The North Magnetic Pole. or area.
lies in the vicinity of King Williams
Land, Just off the Arctic coast of
North America, in Bothia. These are
strange lands that we don't hear
much about after we have left cur
school Biographies behind.
When this Magnetic Pole is be-
tween US and the North Pole the COM
pass points due north AS We go
either east or west from this line it
is easy to see that the compass is
Off TO certain extent. If we were
to travel north of the Magnetic Pole
the needle would point south; west
of it the needle would point east.
Sir James Ross in 1881 located the
North Magnetic Pole. approximately,
at point up in Bothia, but in 1908
Captain Road Amundsen, in the good
ship GjOa, set out on an expedition
which lasted till 1906, and during
those three years he relocated the
Magnetic Pole and incidentally made
the Northwest Passage" the goal
for which mariners have striven since
the days of Hendrix Hudson.
Amundsen and his assistants lived
for nearly two years at Gjohavn in
King Williams Land. west of the
Coastof Greenland. This was about
100 nautical miles from the Magnetic
Pole and is favorable point for max.
ing magnetic observations.
Terrestrial magnetic force is differ
ent. on every part Of the earth's sur
face and is not always the same at a
given point. 1t is subject to regular
daily and yearly changes. and Amund-
sen wanted to find out about these
changes. Evidently the best place
would be near the seat of the magnet
ic power. so there he posted himself
and for nineteen months. day and
night. his party took readings Of their
nstruments-both inclination and de-
clination.
Amundsen himself also made short
excursions right into the very region.
of the Magnetic Pole and was able.
by the aid Of declination observations
to prove conclusively that the Mag
netic North Pole does not have a sta
tionary situation. but is continually
moving.
