Rats, Plague carrierc Of india.
Before plague makes its appearance
In house the rat mortality generally
gives warning and case occurs
among the people in a house near
which rats have been found. The PEG.
pie have now come to know that there
Is some connection between the rat
mortality and the occurrence Of
plague cases in certain locality. The
rats go about from one place to an.
other and they carry infection from
place to place and render the task Of
controlling plague, when it is once
spread, very difficult. It therefore
necessary that the public should CO.
operate with the health department to
destroy as many rats as possible. The
rains have now stopped, and, as it IL
the breeding season for rats, the pres.
ent is the fittest occasion for a cam.
paign against rats.-Bombay Gazette.

The manager of wild animal show
was so unfortunate as to lose by death
the only lion in his collection. After
trying in vain to replace the loss he
finally secured an Irishman to appear
In his exhibition on all fours in the
lions cage, wrapped in the dead

was fooled. One night, however, it be-
came necessary, in the course of one
performance, for the lion to enter the

iehind the scenes against being sent
into the other maneater's presence;
but his employer was unyielding, as
surfing him repeatedly that the tiger
was harmless. Though well.nigh dead
with fear, Pat, after long and vigorous
persuasion, at last crawled into the
tigers cage. No sooner was he in the
cage than he lost what little courage
he had left, and lay down, calling in a

PLANK BLOWN THROUGH TREE
During Tornado That Tore
Through Georgia.

Each day brings to light some new
freak of the tornado which caused
death and destruction in this part
of the state a few days ago.
AS an evidence of the freakish
force of the wind big pine tree and
large plank on the property of the
Hon S. M. Roberts, about twelve
miles from here, are now joined as
if done by an expert carpenter.
Although the tree was large one
the plank was picked up and driven
through the center as neatly as if
shot from a gun. Not only was the
plank shot through the tree, but it
went through without tearing the
tree.
The plank was picked up in the
yard of Mr.. Roberts sawmill and
other planks in the pile were not
molested by the wind. So singular
does MIR. Roberts consider this &C
ton of the tornado that he has post
ed a notice telling how the plank
was driven through the big pine and
ordering that it shall not be cut
down.-Atlanta Georgian.
