Fifty-sixt- PLAN WAR ON RA TS CRUSADE TO EXTERMINATE THE PESTS 8TARTED IN ENGLAND. Damage of More Than 150,000,000 a Year Caused by Rodents-Spre- ad of Epidemics and Plagues Traced to Vermin. London. An effort Is to be made at last to deal with the plague of rats In England on a serious and comprehensive basis. A meeting Is to be held for this purpose, with the object of establishing a society for the extermination of rats and other vermin, to which the support of Lord Avebury, Sir Lauder Brunton, Sir J. Crichton-Drowne- , and Sir Harry Johnston has been promised. It Is estimated that in Great Britain the damage done In one year by rats exceeds (50,000,000. At tbe docks, where they have come to be regarded as a terrible though ineradicable evil, they have been known to consume whole carcasses of bullocks, and scarcely a ship comes Into dock which Is not overrun with them. They have been known to destroy whole crops of com, and Innumerable fowls and pheasants have been killed and destroyed. Butchers', bakers,' grocers shops, granaries, and factories there Is scarcely a house or store In the country that does not suffer some lot from their depredations. But the chief danger is In the hygienic aspect of the rats. Trichinosis has been traced to the rats, who Infect the pigs,' and subsequently the people who eat pork. The rapid rise of epidemics and plagues has also been traced to these rodents. Many attempts have been made to solve the problem of extermination, the difficulty of which can be appreciated from the fact that they multiply at the rate of 800 a year from one pair. The rat catcher has been abandoned In some docks for poison and cats, but though these have been found to keep down the numbers and lessen the damage, they can do little toward exterminating the pest. In An experiment has been tried Denmark of setting a price of about a penny on the head of each rat brought In, and by this means more than 100,000 rats were destroyed. The cost of the experiment " was about (3,680, and It Is reckoned that the rats could have done (195,000 worth of damage. To organize some scheme on these lines and, if possible, to get government aid, will be the aim of the society If It Is constituted. It Is estimated that rat skins in large quantities would have a considerable commercial value. In the report of the port of London sanitary committee, issued to the court of common council, the total destruction of rats for four ' weeks of November is given as 4,756. The manager of the London and India Docks Company said that their bill for ratcatchers and food for a large staff of cats was a matter of thousands of dollars every year, and they still received complaints of damage In the sheds and warehouses. "I do not believe we shall ever be able to exterminate them," said he; "at the most we shall be able to limit the numbers and the damage. Take Tilbury docks, for Instance, with its acres of marsh land In the vicinity. As soon as the rats fall to find enough to eat outside they will come into the docks and search for it there." The dock proprietors of the country and steamship companies spend large sums to clear their ships of rats. . The damage done among the cargo In the closed bold during a long voyage, it the rats become numerous, or among stores of grain," said a dock official, "it is quite impossible to estimate. Sometimes a whole bale of cloth or cotton will be ruined by their t gnawing at the ends." Though the docks are the happy hunting ground of rats, many ware houses and old buildings in London are plagued with them.

New York. Aaron Banks, a Pine-broo- k (N.

He told hls two sons to turn the calf loose at the moment an automobile approached. shotBanks, with a double-barrelegun, hid himself further down the road. James was the lookout, the calf struggling to reach its bawling mother nearly pulled Jethros arms from their sockets. Finally James yelled: "Here comes one coming like the dickens; let r loose!" Jethro dropped the rope and the calf rushed toward its mooing ma. The trap was timed to the fraction of a second; the chauffeur had not time to avoid a collision, the big car hurling the calf in the air; it fell lifeless. The chauffeur halted, only to learn if the car had been hurt Banks stepped from behind the tree and covered the two men and two women in the car with hls shotgun.
