SOME OLD LONDON THEATERS
District of Shoreditch Had the First
Building Erected for Purely '45s
Dramatic Purposes. BE

There was a time, shortly after the
when the opposition to the new form
of entertainment was so great that
an. ordinance was passed by parlia-
ment for the compulsory closing of
these palaces of amusement" and
making it a crime to be present as a
spectator at a play.
This was in 1912, when only two
theaters existed in London. The first
building specially erected for dramat-
ic purposes was built by an actor,
James Burbage, at %Shoreditch, in 1876
and called the Theater. A year or 50
later a second theater known as the
Curten a opened, also at Shore.
ditch, and these two playhouses ca
tered to London audiences until the
suppression of the theaters.
When plays were once more per.
mitted several new theaters opened
including the Globe, at Southwark,
which was built by James Burbage,
the Rose and the Blaclufriars and
Whitefriars theaters. .
Probably the most luxurious Of these
early theaters was the Fortune, bull
by Edward Alleyn, an actor, in 1899
and so christened because it cost its
owner the then fabulous sum, includ'
ing the ground it stood on, of f1,320
The only illumination during the per,
formance was that afforded by candle
light, gas being unknown until 1917
when the first performance by gas
light was given at Drury Lane.

RAT IS SERIOUS :

Dangerous and Persistent

Annually by Each Individual

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The necessity of a campaign OF UNI
varying efficiency against the common
brown rat, is an outstanding one. No
other animal or insect is so dangerous
and persistent an enemy, and no other
enemy succeeds in inf1icting the dam
age that the rat annually imposes up
on humanity. The rat population Of
the United States is at least equal to.
the human population, anb the same
ratio holds true for practically every
country under the sun. The bureau
Of biological survey, United States
Department of Agriculture, places the
value of the food and property de-
stroyed annually by each individual
rat at So Keeping well within the
boundaries of, conservatism this e
that each year, in this country alone,
we produce $200,O0O,O00 worth of food
to no other purpose than to feed our
rats. In another way, 100000 men in
the United States are devoting all
their labor to the maintenance of 1OO,-
100000 rats.
Is Efficient Germ Carrier.
But the rodents enmity is far from
being satisfied by this huge economic
injury. A frequenter Of all the places
that are vile and loathsome, the rat
is a most efficient germ carrier. The
germs Of the dreaded "black death"
have killed more human beings than
all the wars of the worlds history,
and these germs are introduced into
the human system by the bite of a
rat flea. In India, no longer ago than
1896, the bubonic plague killed 9,000,-
600 persons. In Europe, during the
Fourteenth century, it is believed to
have brought, death to 25,OOO,O00 hui
man beings. Other diseases, almost
as dreadful, are traced to the common
rat. Thus, from the standpoint of
public health, as well as from the ne
cessity of controlling the drain upon
the public purse, it is essential that
the rat be ex~terminated. Once the ex-
termination is complete, or as nearly
SO as modern methods will permit, ev-
cry precaution must be taken to pre-
vent the rat from multiplying and re-
gaining lost ground.
DISCRIMINATING Plans.
Trapping should be done continuously
and Systematically at all rat-infested
places. Rat poisons, especially barium

setting. The distance between posts
depends on the location of the fence
and the numbers and kinds OF stock
to be turned, the average in field fences
being about 20 feet.
To construct a woven-wire fence
properly it is necessary to have a
~woven-Wire stretcher, a single
wire stretcher to be used in at
taching the fence to the end posts, a
pair of wire cutters, a barbed-wire
stretcher, a splicing tool, and hammers
for stapling and fastening the wire.
Barbed and wire may be un-
rolled by attaching the reel to the
back of a wagon or by running albar
through the core and drawing it along
with a horse.
Stretching the Wire.
After the wire is unrolled it should
be drawn up to the line Of posts and.
freed from adhering trash. The
stretchers are then attached and the
'ine wires drawn until they are SO 'taut
that they can just be pressed together.
Some slack may be allowed for nev

WIRE REPLACING
Old TIME FENCE
Stone Walls, Split Rails and
Hedges Rapidly Being Dis
carded by Farm Owners.
MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS
Essential That Ends and Corners Be
Erected Firm and Solid-Posts
Should Be Large Enough to
Give Needed Strength.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
OF all the changes wrought in the
farming industry during the last cen
tury none is more noticeable than that
in fencing, say specialists of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture.
All over the Eastern United States
there are hundreds Of miles of stone
wall fences which are monuments to
the patience and thoroughness of
earlier generations. Overlapping this
territory, and extending west, are
found fences of split rails, with their
familiar weeds and berry bushes in
the angles, while still farther west,
where there was neither wood nor
stone, are seen Usage orange and
other hedges. These are natural pro-
auctions Of the time.
The farmer usually finds today that
barbed-wire OF woven-wSe fence will
best serve his ends for new construc-
ton, and at the same time cost least.
Barbed wire is used on large stock
ranges where the loss of one or two
animals through wire cutting is not
serious. but for the farmer with, fine
horses, or a selected herd of cattle,
large mesh woven-wire fences are
coming. more into use.
Ends and Corners.
The ann in which the fence is
erected has much to do with it's serv-
ice. The ends and n are by far
the most important elements of a
fence. 1t is essential that they remain
firm and solid in order to hold the
fence rigid. The first thing to consider
is placing the corners. The posts used
should be large enough to give sufi-
cient strength; they should be set deep
enough to prevent heaying by the ac-
ton Of frost; they should be braced
from each direction of tension by a
stout rail about IL feet long.
Metal and concrete posts are on the
market, but a great many farmers cling
to wooden ones The line posts should
be approximately 4 inches in diameter.
Various woods are used, including
Usage orange, locust, red cedar, null
berry and burr oak. They. should be
thoroughly seasoned and the bark re
