Rat Killing Device

An efficient rat killing device for
use on board ship was made and sue
cessfully operated on the Monterey
by Machinist G. l.. Russell, U. S.
navy. The apparatus consists of
piece of dry wood, one-half inch
thick. two inches wide, and long
enough to extend the width of a
door. resting on the sill. Upon this
piece OF wood is screwed two pieces
of three-eighths-inch copper, spaced
one inch apart, each strip being con-
nected respectively, to the positive
and negative electric light wires by
means of the ordinary attachment
plug. The rat on entering room
must, naturally, step from one cop
per strip tc the other, causing short
circuit through its body, which in
stantly kills it. A voltage of 10 is
necessary for the successful working
of this rat killer.

man, expressed q desire that ] take
charge of his dog team while he stalk
ed some Of them, writes Harry Whit
ney in the Outlook. Seals are ex-
tremely shy, and great caution must
be exercised In approaching them.
The Eekimos use a blind In the form
OF q miniature sledge, about Is inches
in length by six inches in width, with
beartkin tackled on the runners. Fore
and aft were two upright crotched
sticks, upon which the rife rests and
TO which 1t is dashed. On the front of

long perpendicular sticks, over which
q piece Of white cloth liz stretched, or
when that il not attainable, hare
skin is substituted. Through a hole
in this cloth screen the muszle Of the
rine prOtrudes.
Holding his blind before him,
Eisseyou was enabled to wall within
500 or 400 yards OF a seal without
startling il, and he dropped on hands
and knees and pushed the little sledge
before him. Thus hidden behind the
cloth screen, which 30 blended with
the ice as to arouse in the seal no
suspicion Of danger, he approached
within 30 yards before shooting. Seals
always lie close TO their holes, and II
Is necessary to hit them in the head

bullet penetrate the heart and kill
them instantly; otherwise they will
flop into the hole and sink before it iE
