Would Consign Rats to
Death by Electricity

New Orleans.-A "diabolical Pied
piping" invention, whereby rats are
electrocuted, was offered the city of
New Orleans by D. Moorahtoff, an
inventor of Souderstown, r. I.
The apparatus consists Of metal
lie disk to hold tempting morsel
of cheese surrounded at distance
of several inches by metal ring
charged with electricity. The "chair''
should be placed on a barrel Of
water for best results, according
to the inventor. 81.
In describing the action of the in
vention, Moorahtoff explained the
rat, attracted by the fragrance Of
the cheese, would place his hind legs
on the ring and his front legs on the
disk, thus completing the circuit
and electrocuting the rat. The elec-
trocuted rodent would then fall into
the barrel of water, to be choked to
death by suffocation in case the
shock had not been fatal, and would
thus be disposed Of Immediately,
eliminating the necessity Of remov-
ing victims before other rats would
be tempted.
In celebrating on the scheme the
inventor provides for the more in
telligent rodents who might become
suspicious seeing their friends fall
ing into the barrel. MOOrahtOff
would place the disk at a somewhat
lower level than the ring so that
falling rats would appear to be
diving head first into the water,
thus allaying the suspicious of
their families, who might otherwise
believe the cheese was not all that
it seemed to be.

The first vessel was lost at sea-,
Professor SamOilovitch reached
Spitzbergen. explored rich coal
mines and claimed them for. his
country. The following year, ac-
companied by 40 workmen, he COM
menced to dig the mines in the most
primitive way; the delivery of mod
ern machinery on these shores was
out of the question. In 1912 the first
cargo of 1000 pools Of coal was
shipped to st. Petersburg. This
achievement obtained recognition
for SamOilOvitch. ;
Since the revolution, Rudolph La;

regime as director Of the Instituted

pole. On each trip Professor Samo-
ilovitch has found sufficient ma

study the ensuing year. He has.

experiments, and his country is ben
citing immeasurably from his
thorough scientific researches.
At the time of the Mobile catas-
trophe Professor Samoilovitch was
cruising the, northern seas. The
government ordered him to proceed
to the rescue of Mobile. The eyes
of the world were upon that part of
| the globe, yet little did he dream
| that the Krassin and it's crew would
succeed in locating Mobile. The
results of his search were flashed
all over the globe, and his skill in
meeting such an emergency has al
ready won him world prominence.
While cruising in the North

remaining members of the Italia
crew, breaking down icebergs and

were endangered. The German
steamer Monte Servantes had sailed
from Hamburg with 1900 tourists
and a crew of 300 for vacation
cruise. Nine days after leaving
port, the steamer struck an iceberg
and within a few hours began to
sink. The passengers were panic
stricken, and a catastrophe i'm
pended. The Krassin reached the
Monte Servantes within few hours
and not only offered rescue of the
lives aboard, but also had its
divers make the necessary repair:

Church Burns When Debt

Mortgage One Week Before
Structure Is Destroyed

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Jan. 22-
Just one week after the congrega-
ton of the Christian church here,
had celebrated the final payment of
the cost of construction of the
church, it burned to the ground, at
a loss of approximately $4,000.
The building was erected in 1906,
and was finally completely paid
for, a week before the fire, last
Sunday.
On that day the parishioners
celebrated, and burned the mort
cages and notes which had been
their source of worry for over
twenty years. The following
Sunday, with the mercury Is be-
low zero, the edifice caught fire,
and within two hours was mass
of smouldering ruins, resembling
in a magnificent way, the celebra-
ton of the previous week. The
parish is now discussing ways and
means of the erection of the struc-
ture. !

 According to Charles w. Nichols. vice president of the bank. Stevens was bonded. The banks guaranty fund was more than enough to meet the deficit, he said.

HINDENbURG PLANS
 ID RETIRE IN l92
German President Will With.
 drlV From Public Life at End Of Present Term
HAS HAD LONG CAREER
Led Monarchy in War, Guides
 Republic in Peace
By FREDERICK kCH

United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Berlin, May 14 (UP)-President Paul Von Hindenburg will retire from public life at the expiration of his present term of office in 1882 and spend the remainder of his days on his country estate, it was learned today.
 Called out of retirement in 1914 10 command Germany's armies on the eastern front and ultimately on ali fronts, recalled again after the war to take the presidency of the republic and thus, for the time be- ing. settle internal political strife, Hindenburg. now s1, feels that the would like to spend the remainder of his life in tranquility.
 The United Press today is in a po- sition to state authoritatively that the president already has communi- cated his intention to retire to his friends and political advisers. He has confided that under no condi- ton would he accept a second term of the presidency.
 AS soon as l am relieved of tho burden of office," he told friends, T shall retire to my country estate in Hanover and pass my last days there. I hope still to be able to sally forth for an occasional hunt after my retirement. But once have set tied down in Hanover I shall never a in, t,,Io die there and be buried next to my wife"
 Successor Uncertain
 It is too early to suggest the pos- sible successor to Von Hindenburg. but this much is certain: Hinden- burg was the candidate of the Ger man nationalists. who have lost much of their political following during the last three years. and the rationalists will find it difficult 10 find another man who will stand T fair chance of election in linden burg's place.
 Hindenburg was national idol before he ran for the highest office in the republic. His enormous popularity and prestige have increas- ed in office. But tho nationalists have no more national idols on call.
 The next president is likely to be non-pa"tisan conservative with slightly liberal leanings. Names Of possible candidates are already being boomed. But no appreciable section of the electorate has yet flocked to any of the political band-wagons.
 Among the strongest political fig. ures at present is Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank whose negotiations with the allies at the Paris reparations conference have added much to his prestige.
