NOVEL TO electrocute EATS cincinnati inquirer superintendent stephan of the cincinnati zoo is thinking of getting out a patent ho has not decided exactly what to call the machine he lus perfected but in all probability it will bo named stephans electric rat exterminator the invention was born of that necessity which has mothered so many other labor saving devices and has proved invaluable to the zoo not long ago a number of rats and stray cats that the zoo was a splendid place for foraging and that game birds such as pheasants and quail were numerous in the big inclosure all that was necessary to secure n good meal free of charge was to jump tho fence and pick out the one which pleased the fancy of the marauder superintendent stephan was alie first to discover why so many of these valuable birds were missing every now and then and it did not take him long to find a remedy for the trouble while the zoo management is willing to replace its animals and that fall victims to ordinary disease or accidents it has no desire to furnish food for all the rodents and felines in avondale and mr immediately set about putting an end to the free lunches one evening after lie had retired to rest a suspicious noise in the locality of alie pheasant enclosure caused him to dress hastily and repair to the froot As he approached he noticed a large and rusty looking rat taking french leave over the fence with a handsome pheasant in its mouth mr stephan said things that would not look well in print and sat up the rest of the night waiting to slay other rats that might appear on a like but without result alie next day mr stephan did some deep thinking satisfactory results A wire was stretched along the top of the fence and connected with n live electric wire when the garden was closed for alie night the current was turned on and the superintendent went to bed convinced that there would be lively times for any animal that triad to cross the trocha lie had prepared for the enemy nor was ho wrong at daybreak largo and well developed rodents were discovered as dead na the proverbial doornail on the outside of alie fence eliere they had fallen after coming in contact with the charged wire the next mr kle phan was surprised by a wail of pain and surprise that made the air vibrate at first lie though the animals were holding a political meeting in alio but another howl put him at case it was merely the death wail of a cat which had fate onca loo ofton and fallen a victim to its own expensive appetite since then ft baily harvest of rats and cats is reaped by the attendants at the zoo they are found lying across the wire or on the ground but the pacas ants arc and can sleep with both eyes shut now where before they had to keep one open if they
