[*L Lmri* P<j#t } • I*> yoa *ce that" - *a>d Clerk Mor pby of the Southern hotel, exhibiting a section of water-pipe with a Urge hole in it. "and can you guess what made that hole'*" I pon ci<we examination it wa« seen that the section of lead pipe was riiged and furrowed m a mo<t pe-tsliar way. A cif alar space, •ome two inches in diameter, was cut in all dire. titm« aa if chi-eled trot by a sharp-pointed instrument, ami a bole as large as a man's thumb was made in the thick metal. After the prob lem had been abandoned Mr. Murphy *attl: "If tou had lived loti* enoa*b in » bote! you would recognize the work of the greatest pest we know; that is rats. Their voracity i* proverbial, but it is generally supposed that any thing *<• unnutritious as metal is safe from their attacks. This piece of lead pipe, which came out of our cellar, is proof to the con trary. It is usually heavy, being fully a third of an inch thick, but as you see they have gnawed it completely through, and done the j"*' in a very workmanlike manner. This thing of gnawing through water pipes is by no means a rare occurrence, although 1 hare seldom »een -o large a hole made. 1 think from the looks of it that half a dozen rats must hare acted in part nership. They evidently got thirsty, and took the readiest means of getting water, although how tbey knew that they would do so by making a hole in the lead pipe pas-e- my comprehen sion, and argues an amount of intelli gence with which those rodents are not usually credited. Oar plumbers hare always to be on the lookout for leaks made by rat-, and some of them are verj.dlffirult to repair, as they are not orilv found in out of the way placet, "but often are so large that thev cannot be soldered, but a length of pit* uiust lie cut out and replaced, perhaps only to be again pierced within a week. We have alout the lightest and airie-t cellar of any hotel in the country, and one in which there are scarcely any places of concealment, hut try a« we nia.v. there is no such thing as keeping out the rats. If you will go down into the basement you will see how they deal with them." A vi'it to the hotel basement was made and information concerning rats a»ked. "We can keep them out of store-room*." said the official in charge, "but only by pernetual watch ing. We have a number of traps, as vou pointing to a pile in the corner, but they have very little effect upon the numbers of rats that make their way into the cellar dur ing twenty-four hour-. There is no use trying to keep rats out of any place that communicate* with sewer drain*. They make their wav through incredibly tmaH hole* an i MM e - tabii-h themselves in the ceilar. We catch a great many of them, und the cats kill more, but still there are al ways enough to be found. They will gnaw their way through almost every thing, and in spite of your watchful ness manage to pick up a very good living. It is by no means uncommon for them to cut our pine*, and when ever I see a stream of water flowing over the floor I know that the rats have been at work. If you will come with me I will show you how we di-po*e of tho*c that we catch alive." Uoing to the engine-room and '.irk ing ui» a trap containing three live rats, the engineer was called ami asked to disi»ose of them in the u«ual way. Attached to a telephone apparatus were tw«> long wires and a grounding wire This latter was tied to the wall and the two wires tied to the rat, one around his neck and one around one of its hind legs. When let loose the rat ran actively about, pulling strongly j at it* fetters, and making several sav age bites at them. The engineer then turned on a slight current, wliirh had 1 the effect of making the animal jump fully a foot from the floor, and then look around in astonishment to see what had happened. Another and stronger shock wa* given, which knocked the animal completely over, and caused it to lie motion less for several minutes. When it hid begun to crawl around the full force of the curtent was applied The effect was magical. In an instant the animal curled up. apparently shrink ing to half it" six*\ and the odor of singing hair wa- plainly perceptible. lie never felt that shock," *ai.l the engineer, "hut died so quickly that the nerves had no time to convey sen sation. I have ma le a ercat many experiments with ele* tricily «>n rat*, and am convinced that death by this means i* instantaneous and absolutely nainle*«. We drown mo>tof the rats that we catch, only trying the elec tri* ity on them for experimintal pur poses " <lg*rette t'lfmU.
