The eoni,n tud r -in -chief of the cat corps is. Lr. Admen Lolr,; who Is a Doctor of Medicine of Paris Univers- ity and an I.L.D. of Glasgow. a .d'is- tinction of which he is very proud. Dr. Loir is medical ofiieer of the port, and for years he sought to find some effective means of get tag rid of rats.' Few people realise how formidable an enemy is the itat, He is the car- rier of diseases, Including the dread- ed plague. And every year tie rat eauses damage to the extent of mil- lions upon millions of pounds in et*ii lined countries. It is calcula'.ed that.in most large towns the rat population is about equal to the human. Every rat; de- vours, contaminates, or destroys something like a farthing's .worth of human food a day. Tile rat breeds with enormous rapidity; a single pair is capable of having 800 descendants within. twelve months. All kinds. of means for keeping down rats have been tried. Poisons are used, systematic trapping :'takes glade, virus is put down in likely places, and on ship- board poison gas is sometimes press- ed into service. ,But all of these methods have one failing. Though rats may be driven out temporarily, they return almost at once:. Dr. Lair had noticed' 'bat some eats were particularly good ratters and that in mart; private houses, warehouses, or Ships viz.=re there was such at. ca rats were rorts> icuous b P y their absence.

Dr. Lent finds that the con pion cat, especatny of the striped variety, makes a seilend'cl ratter, but better still is the ria -arse; Some of his cats have made several voyages round the world on ships, and in every case the cap' aini has reported complete freedom from damage by rats, So successful have Dr. Loir's ef- forts been at Havre that other con- tinental towns are also paying atten tion IQ ttie breeding of these cats. So far nothing of the kind has been done. at the port of London, remarks An - ewers, but probably before long we shall see the super -pussy introduced int() NInglende ORNAMENTAL CIflMNRY. Bears Scarcely Any Resemblance to Usual Factory Smoke Stock.. 1. novel form of chimney, sixty feet high, has been erected for an Finglish factory. It appears, as seen by the li sser--by, to be a clock -tower, and bears scarcely any resemblance to the usual factory chimney. At the top of one face of the tower is a clock, and on another race a circular barometer, underneath which is a giant thermometer. This effort at beautifying by "camouflage" the harsh and ugly monsters with which modern industry defaces ,so many charming haunts of the English coun- tryside, represents perhaps the final phase in the development of the chimney. It is surprising how mod- ern this form of ventilation really is. Ohimneys did not achieve general use until the thirteenth century though in Angio -Saxon times smoke from the domestic fire escaped through ,a hole in the roof, which was . occasionally fitted with a turret to keep out the rain. It is a far cry from this to the comPficated shaft of the modern engineering chimney, which enables waste and noxious gases to be discharged at a height where they will not ereate a nuis- anee. baNZ SPHINX IN Am?CI0O.

Threads of Glass Is Beplaci'aag .the Spider's Web. Astronomers and scientists were glad for many years to use .a spine -es web to make the cross thread's in the eyepieces of their instruments. The spider's web is exceedingly fine, and can be lightly gummed across a cirular hole in the eyepiece. As the thread of the spider is not perfect, because it will , swell and lengthen in moist weather, the spi- der is being gradually replaced by threads of giass which are not affect- ed by dampness, but remain straight and stiff for all time. - A little bit of glass 'adjoined to a glass rod is heated to a bright red color, and then shot away with a powerful catapult. It draws otr: and leaves behind it a thread ofglass so fine that it often cannot be seen, though it can easily be felt with the fingers and can be wound on a reel. like a $eon of nary 'Ghreaad Quarte tab be made in this way , into a thread as frim as a 15,000th of an inch in diameter, and these tiny threads :are sometimes silver- plated so that they will :conduct'elce- trie.itty. A thread a few inches long is suspended between the poles of a powerful electric magnet. If a feeble electric current . passes through the silver-plated fibre, the fibre will move slightly to one side, and this moving can be measured with apowerful mi- croscope. In this way the feeblest electric currents . can be measured with extraordinary precision. USES FOR ABiiB. Casein Separated front Milk Make "Bone" Buttons and Studs. Though you might not -think i the back stud you are wearing, and quite likely your shirt buttons, were pro- vided by a cow which it still placidly chewing the cud in some . green field. Things are not what they seem, for "bone" studs, "bone" buttons, "ivory" combs and brushes, and all ` kinds of small hard white fittings have often nothing to do with el her bone or ivory. They begin their existence as nothing more solid than milk. At certain times of theyear more milk is produced on the farms than can be sold for drinking purposes or invade into butter or eIncese. But there ate factories ready to tate any surplus. Wilt contains a substanwe known as casein, which can be sep- arated from it by chemical prccesscs. By pressing all moisture out of case- in and treating it in various ingen- ious w,tys, a hard white solid is pro- duced which can be moulded readily into any desiredshape and has ex- cellent wearing properties. The liquid obtainel when casein is made can i¢e turned into glue, paste, and site. Once Village, ge, lhTow Lake. The world. would never have neard of aa obseui'e village some 25 miles free'.
