English Paper Suggests Novel Trap
for Kidding Community of All
Sorts of Rodents.

Let me give you an unfailing meth
cd for gathering in all the rats for
miles around.
Get large tub, fill 1t about three
parts full with water. Stand brick
on its end, in the middle Of the tub.
Get some brown paper as bridge
stretching from the rim of the tub to
the brick, all round the tub, so as not
to let the water be seen. Then put
slab or board up against the tub for
the rats to run up.
Put piece of meat as a bait on
the top of the brick, and saturate it
with oil of rhodium. The rats will
come from all quarters at the very
smell of it. The first rat that runs up
the bridge tries to get at the bait, and
falls through the brown paper into the
water He then climbs ON to the top
of the brick and starts to squeal
All the other rats for miles around
come rushing to the aid of their dis
tressed comrade and each one topples
into the water and is drowned Only
one can occupy the top of the brick at
time. BY this means whole neigh
borhoods could be cleared very rapidly.
