Thursday, December %, 1916.

1t looks to The Banner as though
the scale of wages fixed by the ser
geant%at-arms for the statehouse en-
ployes at the coming session is not
quite as generous as it ought to be.
No doubt there would be plenty who
are willing to accept the places at
those prices but the fact that the
schedule fixed is rather low is likely
to lead the legislature to vote a
f:atuity to these employees during the
LIST days of session. On the whole
We think it would be better to pay
taem a little more in direct wages in
Gtead OF promoting an agitation on
their part to get bonus by indirect
means.

periodic discussions is now in pro

can be bought for little money, were

the industry, This insuperable ob1ec-
ton is the dog nuisance. 1t is just
about impossible to raise sheep at
profit in New England because of the
depredations of dogs which are
allowed to run at large. This issue
has been before the Vermont legisla-
ture at every session for twenty years
and every time majority OF the
members have voted in favor Of the
dogs rather than the sheep. We sup
pose the legislature that convenes
next week will do the same. 1t is a
strange commentary on human ma

farmers in the Legislature are up in
arms against the protection of deer
which do little damage to orchards
and at the same time viii vote to pro
tect dogs of no value whatever which
have ruined one of the largest and

WARFARE AGAINST THE RAT
New Orleans Has Comprehensive Sys-

kinds Enemy

Conversion of insanitary districts
into healthful ones and the proofing OF
the entire city against rats is contem-
plated in the plans made by the health
authorities of New Orleans for perma-
nently stamping out the causes OF bu-
bonic plague. The methods proposed
are similar an certain respects to those
followed by the federal government at
the Panama canal, while their execu-
ton is as much an engineering prob
lem as it is a medical one. Accomplish
ment of the work depends upon the
passage of enabling legislation which
bears directly upon the building regu-
lations and affects practically every
structure in the city. Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. in an Illustrated article.
says:
Ordinances designed to handle the
situation provide that all buildings
which rest upon the ground shall have
concrete floors and every structure
shall be proofed against rats. Other
ordinances abolish henhouses within
the city limits, excepting when they
are thoroughly rat-proofed; make
stringent rulings concerning the dis
posal of garbage. and subject ship
ping in the harbor to binding regula-
lions intended to prevent rats from
landing from boats locked at the
wharves. It is planned that ships shall
lie eight feet from the wharyes, have
all hawsers fitted with rat guards and
have a guard at the gangplanks when
ever they are lowered"

DESERTS NO LONGER. KNOWN

Nature has set up four kinds of bar
riers to mans conquest of the earth

not remove, 50 he bores holes through
them for railways. The second he
has. most unwisely. largely cleared
away altogether. The third he is be-
ginning to treat like the forests. The
fourth he is shifting to suit his pur-
poses and to regulate their flow at
will.
Man flies now over all boundaries.
He cuts through isthmuses to remove
the barriers between the seas.
Into the deserts man sends rail-
roads. telegraph lines, irrigation en-
gineers. The Great American Dos

fathers has ceased to exist. The vast
desert" of Northwestern Canada has
become boundIess prairie of waving

now much more than half covered
with pine trees. In 1902, az. 900 square
miles of the Algerian desert had been
made fruitful by artesian wells. The
Australian desert" is rapidly being
irrigated and turned into grazing
land. Almost 10000 square miles Of

ELECTRICITY TO BE POWER

The total of electric generating ca
pacity and power purchased for use
at the mines at the present time Ia
given as 1881 kilowatts. which is ap-
proximately equal to, 105,4O0 horse
power. The horsepower produced by
steam is given as 531 ,S11.
The first electrical installation in
mines was made in 1887 by the Penn;

the Thompson-Houston company

station in, the Erie colliery of the Hill.
