RATS TWO FEET LONG IN JERSEY
school Children at Summit Avoid
PESTS which Drive Dogs Away.

Rats-two million or so Of them
which infest the city garbage dumps,
threaten to overrun the residence Sec
ton Of Summit, n. J., and the board
Of health has appealed TO experts in
New York City to provide a means for
their determination. Children on their
way to school have been making long
detours because of their fear Of being
bitten. One of the rats seen recently
by city employees is reported to be fully
two feet long and many Of the others
are nearly as large. The rats have
driven away the stray ours that used TO
get their living at the dumps, and the
scarcity of wandering dogs has left the
dog warden without job.

MANY KILLED IN EXPLOSION.

Seven Boilers Blow Up Wrecking
the Sheet and Tin Plate Works.
Quick death came to thirteen men,
serious injury to thirty more employees
of the plant and damage to the build
ing amounting to many thousands Of
dollars are the results of the explosion
of battery of seven boilers at the
American Sheet and Tin Plate Com
pany plant in Canton, Ohio. The cause
of the explosion is at present unknown
The fireman and engineer, who were in
the boiler-room, are dead. No one
else about the plant who survived the
accident can give an explanation. One
workman says that he heard three dis
tinct explosions in quick succession.
The force of the conclusion was ter
rife. The big plant is in such state
of ruin as to be practically a total loss.
Identification of the men was difficult
because many of them we're so mutt
lated that even the most intimate
friends of the dead could not recognize
the features.

Sister Candide, nun, famous in
France for her charities and who has
enjoyed for years the confidence and
esteem of the best class of people, was
arrested in Paris on a charge of lar
ceny of jewelry from merchants who
had confded it to her to sell. Her ar
rest was fastened by the suicide Of
DR.. Leon Petit, a well-known Paris
physician, who left letters incriminat-

Those who claim intimate knowledge
of the facts say that liabilities Of

holy garb to have been more remark
able in many ways than that Of the
