Would Consign Rats to ^ Death by Electricity New Orleans, I.a.—A “diabolical Pied-piping” invention, whereby rats are electrocuted, was offered the city of New Orleans by D. MoorohtolT. an Inventor of Souderstown, H. I. The apparatus consists of a metallic disk to hold a tempting morsel of cheese surrounded at a distance of •several indies by a metal ring charged with electricity. The "chair” should tie placed on a barrel < r water Tor best results, according to the in ventor. In describing the action of the In vention, Monrnhtoff explained the rat. attracted by the fragrance of the cheese, would place Ills hind legs on the ring and his front legs upon the disk, thus completing the circuit and electrocuting the rat. The electro cuted rodent would then fall into the barrel of water, to he choked to death by suffocation in case the shock l.tul not been fatal, and would thus he dis posed of Immediately, eliminating Hie necessity of removing victims before other rats would be tempted. In elaborating on the scheme the inventor provides for the more intelli gent rodents who might become sus picious seeing their friends falling into the harrel MonrnliloT would place the .disk at a somewhat lower level than lhe iring so that falling rats would appear to be diving head first Into the water, thus allaying the suspicions of their families, who might otherwise believe the cheese was not nil that .it seemed .to be. Huntsville, Texas—The homestead to which Gen. Sam Houston retired when lie was deposed as governor of Texas because he refused to swear allegiance to the confederacy, and the house in which lie died, lonely and broken-hearted, are being restored U> their original rustic beauty. The work of making the grounds a state park nml the old home « shrine for the people of Texas soon will be completed. The legislature appropri ated $16,000 for the purpose. A quarter of a century after be had jvon freedom for Texas with Ids vic tory at San Jacinto, General Houston lost the governorship of the state v wl)!ch, as a republic, had honored him .with its presidency. Somewhat embit tered, lie sought peace nt Ids home near Huntsville and .died two years later. The home changed .ownership many times, hut in 1011 became .the proper ty of the state teachers’ college, which bears the general’s name. In the last few months many changes have been made in the ap pearance of Hie place. Trees, which were not there when it was Houston's home, were chopped down, and those which lie had planted were pruned nnd marked. The pond was en larged to its former size nnd shrubs were planted on its bunks. The house was restored to its ap pearance of long ago, except that lumber from a sawmill replaced the rough-hewn plants. The interior, how ever, was given what architects pro-1 nounced an almost perfect restora- ! tlon. Now a search is being made for the \ furniture which Houston used during liis Inst days. One of the first pieces ! recovered was a chair, found in a Ne-1 gro’s hut. 200 ACRES 200 ACRES Wednesday Dec. 12, 3 P. M. 200 Acres belonging to Mr. A.C.

PHONE WALNUT 7C07, ATLANTA, G Chinese Converts Hand Christians a Puzzle Canton, China.—Chinese converts to Christianity have advanced the claim , that admission to tho church entities them to divorce their non-Christian wives and contract a new marriage “based on love as in the west.” The demand is a new phase of the old conflict between the customs of ancient Chinn and the ideas implanted by Christian missionaries. Among non-Christian Chinese the bride and groom have liltle or nolbing to do with the matcli. Present-day wedding ceremonies in ■Canton are of a hybrid nature. Fire crackers are plentifully used nnd rice throwing, not a custom indigenous to China, has been introduced by re turned students from America. Many tbrides wear foreign-style tlnce veils with Chinese knit tains, while bride grooms combine .foreign straw tints and rubber-soled shoes with the eon- .volitional Chinese long silk gowns and black satin jackets. The ancient wine ceremony nnd the obeisance (before the tablets of the bridegroom’s ancestors are generally observed even at Christian weddings out of deference to older members o( the family.

Sawdust burners are being installed In Pacific -Konst cities, using one-third the amount of fuel to obtain the same units of beat. A sawdust burner consists ,qf a sheet steel or custiron box placed on the cellar lloor with the end .fronting the ashpit door. The furnace grates are removed.

Mussolini Refuses to Stand f- Homo.—During Hie Inst two years, the ,young men and women of Homan society have been backsliding in their linguistic habits. Instead of rolling up the old Italian “r" in "prego,” for example, they aspirate it as the French do.
