SOME REAL. SCOTCH THRIET
canny Inventor Haraessed Mice and
Made Them Spin Thread
I'm MIL.

To an ingenious scotchman goes the
credit Of being the first person TO har-
ness a mouse and make him a money
earning factor. He was David Hutton, a
native Of Dunfermline, and his unex-
pected death alone prevented him from
carrying out his experiments on a much
larger scale.
Hutton erected a small mill at Dun
formiine in 1890 and began the spinning
Of thread. just how he made use OF the
small rodents Is set forth In a pamphlet
called Curiosity Coffee Room"
In the summer OF 1872" he wrote, Il
had occasion TO be In Perth, and when
inspecting the toys and trinkets that
were manufactured by the French pris-
oners In the depot there my attention
was involuntariy attracted by little toy
house with a wheel in the gable Of Il
that was running rapidly around. i'm
PEELED by the gravity OF a common
house mouse
FOR one shilling purchased the house,
mouse and wheel Inclosing II IN a hand
kerchief, on my journey homeward was
compelled 70 contemplate its favorite
amusement.
But how to apply haif-ounce power
(Which is the weight OF q mouse) to
useful purpose was the difficulty. AZ
length the manufacture OF sewing thread
seemed the most practicable"
Though Mr.. Hutton proved that an or
dinary mouse would average run OF
10M miles day, he had one mouse which
ran the remarkable distance OF eighteen
miles in that time.
? A half-penny's worth Of oatmeal was
sufficient for It's food for thirty-five days,
during which time 1t ran se2 miles. He
kept two mice constantly engaged in the
making Of sewing thread for more than
a year.
This thread-miil was so constructed that
the mouse was able to twist twine and
reel from 100 TO 200 threads day, Sun
days not excepted To perform this task
II had run 1Oss miles day. which Il
did with perfect ease every other day.
on the half-penny's worth OF oatmeal,
which lasted for five weeks, one Of these
little mice made 1850 threads twenty five
inches long. and as a penny was paid to
women for every hank made in the ordi-
nary way, tho mouse at that rate earned
IS cents every six weeks
Allowing for board and for machinery
there was a clear yearly profit from
each mouse OF si6o
II was Mr.. Hutton's intention to apply
for the loan Of the Dunfermline cathe-
dral which was empty. where he planned
to set UP 10.ooO mouse mills and stIll
leave room for the keepers and several
hundreds OF spectatorss but this wonder
fuI project was never carried out because
Of the inventors sudden death.--sew

Through western Canada our trip was
very trying. a. we we're forced to keep
as close TO the Canadian Pacific railroad
as possible; at one point we were forced
to cross a railroad bridge which was in
the course OF construction. There arc
many delightful side trips TO be made
in British Columbia.
Between Portland and San Francisco
we climbed the longest grade in tire
world, In the Cisdue mountains. This is
a continuous rise Of thirty-fIve miles
right out Of Shasta Springs. The road is
cut along the face OF the mountains with
an 800 to 900 foot drop on one side and
rise on the other side OF the same dis
tance. The clsque mountains are beau
tIful and well worth the trip.
