FIGHTING RATS WITH VARNlSH
New Form of Trap Used on London Docks Said to Have Had Grat-
 flying Success.

It Is computed that the London, docks contain about 100000 rats. which attack grain, food, and other cargoes. causing about $2,OOO,OOO loss per annum society was established to exterminate this destructive enemy. but the congested state of the wharves made their schemes imperative. Now a new benefactor has come forward with a trap" that opens up posSi- bility of putting armies of rodents out of business. The process employed is simple. Traps are placed along or near rat holes. The trap is made Of cardboard covered with Photographic varnish. The varnish is warmed by heating it's container in boiling water till the varnish becomes sufficiently liquid, when 1t Is spread 1-16 to Is of an inch thick on pieces of straw board or thickish cardboard, meaSur- ing about 15 in. by 12 in. A margin of about 1 in. is left clear of varnish, and bait placed in the center of the board, where 1t adheres to the varnish. Bags of 60 at time have been se cured. The medical officer of health for the port of London reports favor ably of the antidote to the rat thief, and gives it as his opinion that once their tails stick on the board they are doomed, and that the majority die of fright. Another feature is that if two rats get on to the varnish to- gether one of them kills the other, evidently thinking the other Is holding him.
