RAT IS FRIEND OF MINERS


Investigators Of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest In the practice
Of Western gold miners to make pets
Of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fornia 1t has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care of them. believing that the
rodents are source of protection
against accident, says Our Dumb AMI
mails. This Is due. the men say, to the
instinct of the rats, which warns them
when tunnel Is unsafe. And when
the rats leave a tunnel II Is almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave a doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
30 often cause loss of life In the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms of dis
tress. So the men keep close watch
Of the rats good health.

SCOUTS TO AID AVIAToRS.

In appreciation Of the guard duty
rendered by scouts at Day Flying
Field, near Cuero, Texas. the war de-

sage to Scoutmaster Willard II.

"a complimentary report has been
received concerning the excellent work
Of your scouts upon the occasion of
the unfortunate wrecking of United
States airplane near your city. Col
onel Pratt states that you turned out
your scouts who took charge of the
plane, guarding and caring for 1t most
satisfactorily until the arrival of the
wrecking truck.
''It is not unlikely that we shall
