1,801 MOUSE TRAP8.
Washington Cor. New York World.
The nns thousand eight hundred and first
mouse trap has Just lieen patented. Hubert
L Htrongfellow, of White ltluff, Teun., Is
tbe man who believes that he has Invented
the best manse trap In the world. But ns
New York has used all the other 1.803 traps
and Is still as tunrh afflicted with tube
as Is the rest of the couutry, Mr. Htrong-
fellow's trap must possess some wonder
ful attributes to mate It appear Infallible
to Mauhattanlt##.
Mouse traits have been one of the must
frequently patented things the office here
has hod to deal with. Jay Gould laid ihe
fonndstlon ot bin colonial fortune with a
mouse trap, which Is still In use. There
• re traps that kill, traps that dolt t kill,
and all sorts ot traps. But the Increase of
mice still goes on. and - It Is estimated
that th* race Is now many million times
larger In nnml>ers thnu It wss when Ihe
first mouse trap was put on the market.
Few people realise the Importance of
cleaning out the mice. Few know of tha
vast amount of harm they do every J p;ir
and of tbs enormous sums In money repre
sented by the property they devour.
Government experts have been for years
employed In an effort to wipe out tbe coun

Oldest Body of Human Being. .,
From The American Antiquarian.
Th* oldest body of any human be
ing now reposes in the Egyptian gal
lery of the British museum. It I* the
body of s man who wss burled In »
shallow grsv* hollowed out of ths
sandstone on the west bank of th#
Nile, In Upper Egypt. . ,
This men must have hunted along
the banka of the Nile before the time
of the earliest mummied king which
the museum possesses—before the tlm#
of Menes, who was supposed to nave
ruled Egypt st least 5000 B. C. There
were previous to that time two prehis
toric races, one th* conqueror* and
the other the conquered, from which
sprang the Egyptian race of the earii-
eat dynastic*. . ,
It Is with the** remote stocks that
this man has to do. Considering th*
condition In which he was found, It l»
evident that he was associated with s
late period of the new stone age of
Egypt. He was burled In a character
istic neolithic grave, with his neolithic
pots and Instruments of flint about him.
There Is, of course, no Inscription of
any kind on the pots, knives or gr«'*i
all having been long before the Inven
tion of any written language.
