Refused to Go Back to Jail Until Ono
Of Their Number Was "Fired" by
Workhouse Superintendent.

Perhaps the queerest strike on rec.
ord was that Of workhouse prisoners
in Delaware county, Indiana, recently,
when they refused to return to jail I'M
less one of their number received his
freedom. And it was not that they de-
sired him to be free. either, but be-
cause they wished to be freed Of his
presence.
II had my gang Of prisoners way out
by Yorktown, working on a country
road that needed repairing" said
James Cole. workhouse superintendent,
according to the Indianapolis News,
when I noticed, about time to load
them into the automobile and bring
them back, that the prisoners were
hanging back and talking among them
selves. Finally one Of them came to
me with the story and his demands.
1.-THE boys here won't 60 back to
jail with you unless you fire Danny,
there said the spokesman. They won't
ride back in the machine with him be.
cause he has vermin in his hair and
on his body. You either let him go or
no more jail for us. We've agreed to
make a run for it If you don't, and
you can't catch all Of u.s.
"Of course, I had no right to allow
the man his freedom" Cole continued,
"but the fellow jumped up and ran
away just then and I'm bound to admit
we didn't try very hard to catch him.
Anyway, that broke the strike"

windows near the ground and all othes
possible means of entrance screened
with netting made Of No. IS or No. ~
wire and of one-fourth-inch mesh. EN-
trance doors should fit closely, should
have the lower edges protected by Wide
strips of metal, and should have
springs attached, to insure that they
shall not be left open. Before being
used for housing stores, the building
should be inspected as to the manneE
in which water, steam or gas pipes go
through the walls, and any openings
found around such pipes should be
closed with concrete.
If rat-proof buildings are not avail
able, it Is possible, by the use Of con.
crete in easements and the other pre-
cautions just mentioned, to make an
ordinary building practically safe for
food storage.
When it is necessary to erect tenn
porary wooden structures to hold for
age, grain or food supplies for army
camps, the floors Of such buildings
should not be in contact with the
ground, but elevated, the stills having
foot or more Of clear space below
them. Smooth posts rising two or three
feet above the ground may be used for
foundations, and the floor itself may
be protected below by wire netting OF
sheet metal at all places where rats
could gain a foothold. Care should be
taken to have the floors as tight as pos
sible, for it is chiefly scattered grain
and fragments Of food about a camp
that attract rats.
Rat-Proofing by Elevation.
The United States public health serv.
ice reports that in its campaigns
against bubonic plague in San Fran.
cisco (1907) and New Orleans (1914)
many plague rats were found under
the floors Of wooden houses resting on
the ground. These buildings were
made rat-proof by elevation, and no
case Of either human or rodent plague
occurred in any house after the change.
Placing them on smooth posts Is inches
above the ground, with the space be.
meath the floor entirely open, left No
hiding place for rats.
This plan is adapted to small dwell.
ings throughout the South, and ia
small; summer homes, temporary struc
lures, and small farm buildings every
where. Wherever rats might obtain q
foothold on the top Of the post they
may be prevented from gnawing thu
adjacent wood by lacking metal plate,'
or pieces Of wire netting to floor
sill.

Down in the torpedo room three
men bore a torpedo from the rack and
placed 1t in the sings. They swung

Dwellings.
In constructing dwelling houses the
additional cost of making the founda-
tons rat-proof Is slight compared with
the advantages. The cellar walls should
have concrete footings, and the walls
themselves sh3uld be laid in cement
mortar. The cellar floA IF should be of
medium rather than lean concrete.
Even old cellars may be made rat-proof
at comparatively small expense. Rat
holes may be permanently closed with
q mixture Of cement, sand and broken
glass, or sharp bits Of crockery or
stone,
On a foundation like the one de-
scribed above, the walls Of a wooden
dwelling also may be made rat-proof.
The space between the sheathing and
lath, to the height Of about foot,
should be filled with concrete. Rats
cannot then gain access to the walls,
and can enter the dwelling only
through doors or windows. Screening
all basement and cellar windows with
wire netting is q most necessary pre-
caution.
Old Buildings In Cities.
Aside from old dwellings, the chief
refugees for rats In cities are sewers
wharves, stables and outbuildings
Modern sewers are used by the ami.
mails merely as highways and not as
abodes, but old-fashioned sewers often
afford nesting crannies.
Wharves, stables and outbuildings
In cities should be SO built as to ex
clude rats. Cement is the chief means
to this end. Old tumble-down build
ings and wharyes should not be toll
Grated in any city.
In both city and country, wooder
floors Of sidewalks, areas and porches
are commonly laid upon timbers rest
ing on the ground. Under such floors
rats have safe retreat from nearly
all enemies. The conditions can be
remedied in towns by municipal actor
requiring that these floors be replaced
by others made Of cement. Areas o.
walks made Of brick are often under
mined by rats and may become as OBJ
jectionable as those Of wood. Wooder
floors Of porches should always be wei
above the ground.
Farm Buildings.
Granaries, corncribs and poultr!
houses may be made rat-proof by.a lib
eral use Of cement in the foundation
and floors; or the floors may be O.
wood resting upon concrete. Objection
has been urged against concrete floor
for horses, cattle and poultry, becaus'

prayed-they could do no more-that
the torpedo might not have been shot
true; that it might deviate from its
imminent path.
It came on inexorably. The firing
became wilder. The gunners, alb
sorbed as they were In their task,
seemed permeated with the contagious
terror caused by that white, ripping
pencil line that was extending toward
their ship.
The missile struck the battle cruiser
amidships, blowing out section Of
her hull, single water-tight compart-
ment. The cruiser hardly staggered
from the blow.
The torpedo had struck glancing.
and missed the full force of its deliv-
cry. The wound was in itself too
small to sink or even badly cripple the
great ship; a triumph Of shipbuilding,
aud calculated to Withstand just such
an impact.
Unfortunately for her, the maximum
OF the shock was received beneath the
powder room, adjacent to the ammu-
milton chamber, whose doors were
iopen at that moment for the removal
~ the 12-inch shells by the ammuni-
bn hoist.
The shock was followed by an inf.
mite suspense. Perhaps it lasted for
two seconds. The cruiser drove
through the waves like some sea mon.
ster that had received deadly thrust
|unscathed.

heard from Sumburgh to Sutherland

Many modern pubic buildings are SO
constructed that rats can find no lodg-

yet in a few years, through negligence,
such buildings often become infestet
with the pests. Sometimes drain pipef
are left uncovered for hours at a tim9
Often outer doors, especially those
opening on alleys, are left ajar. a
common mistake is failure to screen
basement windows which must be
opened for ventilation. However the

already been launched, and bobbed
ridiculously beside her; others re-

because the list prevented their being
lowered, and dashed themselves to
pieces against the hull as they swung
from the shattered davits.
AS the F55 drew near the ocean

convexity Of the hull slipped down and
was lost to view as the suns edge
goes into the horizon. A swirl and
eddy in the sea, and nothing remained
except the two boats and some tiny,

A gasp Of horror went up from the
