Meals OF Tacoma In the installation of
the new traps is to stop up one more
avenue whereby bubonic plague may
enter the port.
The trap consists Of metal plate
about ten inches In diameter. to which
are attached two-inch uprights for
holding the bait. The plate is raised
above the floor level, and the rat rises
on its hind feet and places its fore
paws on the plate. This tips the plate
the tipping turns on the electricity and
the rat is shocked to death.
The trap is placed below the floor
on the wooden Orders, which are the
favorite hunting grounds of the rats
In the baggage room above stairs n

Mr. Kat himself makes the connection
which turns on the electricity which
shocks him to death there is q little
click In this upper room which shows
that the deed has been done. 1t Is not
possible for the rat to get away with
the bait or even to touch 1t without
putting Its paws on the plate, and its

Of the Coleman family were unable

to fly in a box car partly filled with

The first impo. work in building
is the excavation for the foundation
walls. All complete plans specify that
trenches shall be left with natural bot
toms, level and smooth for the recep-
tion Of walls, piers, etc.
Not long ago a workman in digging
q trench for center wall in large
city block misread the directions and
got the excavation foot deeper than
the specifications called for. The con-
tractor called the owners attention to
It, as an honest man should, and Of
fered to build the wall from the bot
tom up If the owner would pay the
bare cost OF the extra material; but
this the owner refused to do. The
contractor thereupon dumped the
loose earth, the only thing he could do,
and brought the bottom up to the
depth required by the specifications
The building was completed and &C.
cepted by the owner. After lapse Of
six months the center wall settled suf-
ficiently TO crack the plaster on every
wall In the house clear to the third
story.
1t was a block Of fats occupied by
six families. Three Of the families
moved out because they thought the
building was unsafe to live In. This
led to a lawsuit between the owner
and the contractor. The contractor
