The gray rat, of which you are so frightened that you will not go down into the cellar after dark, is a native of Asia, and was unknown In ancient Europe.

The common house rat, by the way, used to be black, and made Its way from Asia to Europe in the sixteenth century, arriving not long afterward in America. Peanut Plants.
