-Oi THE—
RATS LEVIED BLACKMAIL.
They Were Fed to Let Certain Eat-
able# Alone.
Rats have always levied toll in some
way on the human race. Blackmail
cheerfully paid to rats is, however,
new to history and a tribute to
their great abilities, says the Chicago
I News. They had. established them-
selves under a meiit market and, ac-
cording to the owner, “the way they
I used to pick and choose \^as dreadful.”
When two carcasses of mutton were
available they would eat the prime
and leave the poorer. The best was
hardly good enough for them, and they
were cunning even beyond the cun-
ning of market rats. So the owner re-
solved to make a treaty and pay black-
mail. xelying on the economic wisdom
of rats. He gave them three square
meals a day, with plenty of variety,
in hope that the rats w'ould be ap-
j peased and not eat mutton at night,
too. The menu was bread, fancy bis-
1 cuit. potatoes and sugar, and was laid
i near the rats' front door. At first they
used to come up furtively and carry
! the food off to their holes. But now
they come out regularly in the shop,
eating their luncheon on equal terms
with their hosts. Their leader is an
old grizzled rat, who has lost an ear.
He has become the "medium’’ between
the high contracting pa s and seta
an example to his own s. e by eating
bread and biscuits out of the shop-
men’s fingers. The rats now behave
exactly like other tribes when in re-
ceipt of blackmail, in that they drive
off all intruders. “The other day,”
said one of the shopmen, “a strange
rat got in among ’em and you should
have seen ’em chase him out. They
ran him out the shop, in front of all
of us, and I believe if he’d ’a’ stayed
they'd have killed him.”

struments show the bottom of the

^freezing point, and that there is a
gitotal absence of light. The officers say
fljCbftt a great many of the deep-sea fish

tjoften lose their lives by chasing the j
instruments toward the surface. They j
die by what experts call “falling up-
