MAKING SEA TRAVEL SAFE
Conference of Maritime Pow
ers on Measures Prompted
by Titanic Disaster.

The hysterical impulse on the part of
the great maritime nations to do some
1hing Immediately to prevent such fright
full marine accidents as the sinking OF
the Titanic appears to have given away
to q more sober and business-hke purpose
to deal with the subject only upon exact
information and with due regard to all
the great interests concerned. 1t was
proposed by Germany that an interna-
tional conference should be held to de-
wise means for safeguarding human life
on the high seas. The United States and
several other maritime powers at once
accepted the proposition with every indi-
cation that a conference would be called
in Berlin within few weeks.
Great Britain Objects.
The British government interposed an
objection, however, based on the pre-
ponderance of the British mercantile in
terests and insisted that the conference
should be held in London. Although the
pioneer in the movement the German
government, rather than let any feeling
of national pride defeat 50 laudable
purpose as the attempt to make ocean
travel more safe, readily yielded to the
British suggestion. AT present all other
invitation from the British government to
attend such a conference In London, and
experts are engaged in the preparation OF
a mass OF material for the consideration
of the gathering.
Plans for Brussels Conference.
Meanwhile arrangements are making
for a resumption Of the Brussels confer
ence, which has undertaken to prepare
rules for the government Of shipping on
the high seas. The first session Of the
conference, held in Brussels in 1910. dealt
with the question Of salvage and kindred
subjects, and another conference was to
have been held this fall to consider other
questions Of maritime importance 1t Is
now announced that this conference has
been postponed until next spring, the
exact date to be communicated to the In
terested powers by the authorities in
Brussels.

RATS COMMIT SUICIDE.
Suggestion Made to Health Service
by Porto Rican Citizen.

A way Of inducing rats to commit sui.
eide and kill each other is suggested to
the Health Service by correspondent
interested in the fight against bubonic
plague In Porto Rico.
A large iron kettle with steep and slip
perry sides is filled with water, and a
stone placed In the center, making a
small desert island. Two paper bridges
are placed across the top and a piece OF
cheese is laid in the middle.
The first rat that smells the bait
breaks through one of the bridges in
his efforts to reach It. Having gotten
on the island. he sets up howl for
rescue. His pal comes on the jump and.
of course, lands on the island also.
The evil-tempcred brutes Immediately
begin to fight for possession OF the
small dry space, and all the rats In the
community dash to the spot, hoping to
be in at the finish. A Titanic rat dis
aster ensues, and the cold gray dawn
finds the kettle filed with floating bod
les of dead rats.
