A stenographers’ union is pro

American, most of the unionizing
has been done with a marriage li
cense.
Remarks the New York Herald:
Notice that in most of the new novels
the scenes of which are laid in the
distant future the streets and side
walks are described as covered with
rubber to deaden the noise, Wouldn't
it be a pretty good idea to start gome
of this noise deadening before we
are all dead?
The rural free mall delivery will
cost this fiscal year $25,000,000.
This is operated at a great loss be
cause there is no parcel post. A par
cel post would make the rural deliv
ery pay, urges the New York World.
It would cheapen the farmers' pur
chases and increase enormously the
volume of general business.
Two-thirds of the people of the
United States are working hard pro
ducing things to eat and to wear,
Half of the other third are working
hard in transporting these things
from one neighborhood to the other.
Yet the people who produce nothing,
laments the New York World, but
who merely act as mediums of ex
change and distribution between pro
ducers and consumers, get as much
for themselves as all the others put
together, ‘ e (ag

' Malne's greatest wealth is in its
forests—directly or indirectly, avers
the Forest Service Bulletin. In seve
eral ways it has been a pioneer in
forest legislation and management.
It is one of the few States—probably
the only State—whose forests are
nearly holding their own. Lumbering
has gone on there for a long time,
and every year there is something
ready to cut. The folly of stripping
land and leaving (it defenseless
against erosion is well understood in
Maine, and the Legislature has taken
the preliminary steps toward a law
compelling unwilling forest land own
ers to leave enough small timber and
brush on the ground to cover it, 2
Somebody asked Consul:General
Ozmun about the prospects for seillng
building materials to the Constanti

couraging. “The dwellings, even of
‘flt-héw”lthy classes, are built of wood
almost without exception,” he writes.
“The exceptions are the few imposing
villas of rich Eurgpeans, the large ad
ministrations which possess their'.oif;l
buildings, the imperial palaces, the
various embassies and consulates, and
schools and apartment flats. As re

that would be the worthiest and l“mp?

$o Says Dr. A. Calmette, a French
Scientist--Man Must Drive
Out or Be Driven.
IS A MIGRATORY RODENT
Assertion Made That a Single Pair
Will Ordinarily Multiply in Two
Years to Fifteen Hundred.
Rats as a menace before which hu
manity may disappear is a theme
developed with disquieting precision
by Dr. A. Calmette, a French sclen
tist, in La Revue du Mois, of Paris.
Dr. Calmettte predicts that mankind
will have to engage in a general war
fare on rats before many years clapse
if the world is to continue to be habi
table. He pointed out that different
countries have different breeds of
rats which are no great menace in
themselves, which, in fact, are often
useful. The peril comes from the mi
gratory rat, otherwise known as the
sewer rat, which has been evolved
by civilization, and which follows the
march of man into every clime. Rats
of other breeds have been known
ever simce man began to keep re
cords of the things around him. The
first mention of him was made only
in 1620, when he was a native of
Persia and East India. He did not
invade Europe until the eighteenth
century.
At that time he was driven out of
his old haunts by the widespread
famine in those regions and of which
he was largely the cause. Old
chronicles report that millions of the
vermin crossed the Volga in 1727.
They made their appearance in Prus
sia Inl7so,and firet were seen at Paris
three years later. The newcomers
were not welcomed. Within a Week
gixteen thousand were slain. This
made no apparent difference in the
ranks of the invaders.
Professor Calmette says that the
sewer rat did not appear in America
until 1865, when he was first no
ticed along the coast and in various
seaports. As late as 1870 he had
not yet reached the head waters of
the Missouri. By 1900 he had gone
up to the permanent ice beit,
At present, the scientist con
tinues, this migratory rodent is de
stroying in the West Indies, in the
Azores and in the Cape Verde Isl
ands annually hundreds of thousands
of dollars’ worth of coffee, banana,
sugar and orange plantations. As a
sample of what he can do, the case
of an island in the estuary of the
River Humber is cited. This island
was once completely covered with
rich grass, which kept in gbod condi
wd all the year “;;und about 3000
head of cattle. The island is sepa
rated frgm the shore by half a mile
of water. One day the place was in
fested by rats that had reached the
island by swimming. = That was fif
teen years ago. To-day there is not
enough verdure on the island to
nourish a rabbit. The whole island
has been honeycombed by the ro
dents, so that it cannot even be re
claimed by cultivation.
In a number of the Channel Isl
ands, where nothing grows but a few
ferns .and mosses, there are also
many thousands of rats. How they
found sufficient food was long a mat
ter of curiosity, but one day a scien
tist, bent on investigating the mat
ter, dug up one of the numerous rat
holes and discovered, not without
surprise, sixteen large crabs in a
single pocket of the earth, while
there were six in another. The
crabs had not gone there by them
®:lves, that was evident, for all of
them had their legs cut off. Investi-
gation showed that the rats were in
the habit of making their crabbing
_expeditions at low tide. To immobi
“lze their victims and render them
~ harmless the rats amputated them
- ag'soon as captured. All the crabs
| found were still living and in good
| condition. Whether the wily ro
l dents kept their prisoners fed or not
- is unknown,
. _.The sewer rat is perfectly at home
'[ In sea water, and, according to Dr.
iTCalmette. is always on the outlook
~for an attractive ship in which to
} take passage for some foreign port.
’ He will wait patiently until nightfall
and then swim out to some yacht
| which has pleased his fancy and
crawl aboard by way of the anchor
chain. He is extremely prudent and
is not easily caught. The amount
of damage these rats do annually in
the cargoes of seagoing ships, in
docks and warehouses would count
up easily into the tens of millions,
They have even been known to at
tack children and old people. It is
reported that a few years ago these
hardy quadrupeds organized a regu
lar expedition against the Pitie Hos
pital. They were only banished
after the nurses and physicians in
charge had used hundreds of pounds
of sulphur and disinfectant. ¥
Everybody is familiar with the
stories of how rats carry disease
"germs from one part of the world to
the other. These stories are per
fectly true. Extraordinary precau
l tions are taken against rats at Mar
. seilles and other Mediterranean
l,dpq::a&yblch have lear;;ed much by

New York City.~-Bradstreet’s review

favorable, The first of the fall mer

the leading crops have approached a
week nearer harvest,’ = There are,
bowever, some features accompanying
thege developments deserving of note,
There are statements from quite a
few markets that early fall buying is
pardly up to expectations, and that
caution and conservatism govern buy
of's’ actions,
“In the industrials there is percep
tibly more doing in fron and steel,
nardware manufacturing, western coal
mining and the lumber trades gener

ports of curtailment in output of cer

Missing Will in Old Book.
A curious story of a missing will
comes from Paris,
In 1906 M. Frossard, director of
the Mont de Piete at Dijon, a bache
lor, died without heirs, leaving a
fortune of about 100,000 francs., He
had previously announced to his inti
mates that he intended to remember
them in his will, but on his death
no will could be found. The for
tune then went to three distant rela
tives.
During the 14st few days a Gem
man book collector passing through
Dijon bought a lot of old books which
had formerly belonged to M. Fros
sard, In one of them the collector
came across the lost will, in which
one of the oldest friends of the dead
man was appointed residuary legatee.
'The collector sent the will to this
gentleman, and the aid of the French
courts will now be invoked to dis
tribute the property in terms of the
will.—London Globe.
