M0NGOOSE IS A PEST
WEST INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO
GET RID OF IT.
Government Rewards Have Only Had
the Effect Of Adding to Their
Number, and the Problem Has
Become Serious.

The mongoose pest is becoming
really serious: it is worse than ever"
writes a Trinidad correspondent to q
British paper.
Formerly, he says, the government
gave substantial reward for each
body or tail produced. but no sub
stantial reduction resulted Some en-
terprising peasants were suspected of
making a successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose, and in one
ward it was established that an limo
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over again. AS soon
as bought they were buried. only to
be dug up and sold again in the morn
ing.
Another amusing, If expensive, thing
occurred in this connection. In two ad-
joining wards an experiment was
tried. At one they gave fat rate
rs cents each-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the fe-
male and so cents for the male.
After some time it dawned on the
official purchasers that there was a
great preponderance Of females in the
latter ward The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au-
thorities Inquiry proved that all the
females caught in both wards were
sold in the one where the price was
raised. and ; II the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired of it,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, it may be recalled.
was imported into the West Indies in
the seventies Of last century. to ex-
terminate the rats which ravaged the
cane fields. They did this most eS-
fectually, but, having destroyed the
rats, they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell
a prey to their voracious appetites,
with the result that the insects in
creased in an alarming extent. Final
ly the nongoose became as great a
pest there as rabbits are in Australia.
