STEAMSHIP VERMIN.

The Way Ocean Liners Are RM of

Rats and Roaches.

Rat and roach catching at the steam

er docks and on ocean liners is one of the queer ways men have of making a living. And a good living they make at it, too sometimes as much as $10,000 a year. The men who do it never advertise, because the business does not sound as well as it pays, and a man whose house is built out of dead rats and cockroaches would Just as soon not have his neighbors know it. Once a year docks and piers are turned over to the rat catcher for a night. The man who has made a fortune at the business in New York still works with his men, for the secret of the business Is his and he trusts it to no one. Rats run everywhere, but roaches have a special liking for rope lockers, and here they swarm by tens of thousands unless the pier owners have a contract with the rat and roach catcher, who, after a thorough overhauling, guarantees freedom from the pests for a year. Whenever an ocean liner reaches port, whether on this side or the other, it is turned over for a night to this same man. Cats do much toward keeping ships clear of rats, but, of course, have do effect on roaches. On this side of the Atlantic roach catching is the more important branch of the business, while on the other side wharfs are almost as full of rat catchers as the ships are of rats. These once worked with ferrets, but now they use chemicals. Large cagelike traps are used, in which lettuce leaves are placed after being sprinkled with a liquid only the catcher knows what Whatever It is, it is as irresistible to rats as the weird piping of the pied piper was to the rats of Hamelin town. No matter how choice the food in the lockers and In the hold, the rats leave it instantly when they smell the mysterious liquid oa the lettuce leaves. It does not kill the rats, and herein lies another secret of the profits ml the business. Live rats are worth money in England, where they are used for training terriers. Dead rats are worth money, too, as their skins are used for gloves. At 5 or 6 cents apiece, forty or fifty rats mean something, and this is quite a usual catch. For roaches a powder Is used, but what puzzles all old sailors who used to have the job of clearing ships of roaches is that there art never any dead ones lying around nett morning. The favorite way of the sailors when they had to catch roaches was to put a "cob" of bread on top of a coil of rope. Very quickly it would be covered with hungry brown bugs, and these they knocked Into a well greased biscuit pan. Toe grease kept the roaches from crawling up the sides, and it was a poor roach catcher who would not have two or three inches of roaches when he was through, and in a few days he could begin and do It all over again.

AMERICAN EXHIBIT HELD INJERMAIIY Local Manufacturers Are Informed by Secretary Charles Nagel.

TO BE NO LOCAL DISPLAY

HARDLY PROBABLE RICHMOND EXPORTERS ' WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITYLETTER IS RECEIVED.

Secretary E. M. Haas of the Commercial club, is in receipt of a letter from Charles Nagel, secretary of the department of commerce and labor at Washington to the effect that an American exposition will be held in Berlin, Germany from May to July, 1910. The exposition, will" be confined strictly to American products and will be of material benefit in strengthening the prestige of American industries abroad and promoting the export trade of the United States. It is

not probable that any local manufacturers will send exhibits of their products to the exposition. The letter in full is as follows:

Secretary Nagel's Letter. Dear Sir: As you are no doubt

aware, an American Exposition will

be held in Berlin, Germany, from May to July, 1910. At the head of this exposition is a committee consisting

of representative business men of the

United States. A committee has also been formed in Berlin, whose honorary president is Prince Henry of Prussia. The conditions governing the exposition have been examined by the bureau of manufactures and appear to

offer a great opportunity to American

enterprise.

The central location of the city of

Berlin, not only as the capital of the

German empire, but also with respect

to a great part of northern, central, and eastern Europe, assures a rare opportunity for showing American products abroad and for promoting the export trade of the United States. As the exposition is to be confined strictly to American products, it becomes a matter of national Interest to have the exhibits thoroughly comprehensive and of exceptional merit, so that , the exposition may serve to strengthen the prestige of American industries abroad. In view of the foregoing, I desire to bring this exposition to your particular attention.

The committee Is no doubt prepared

to answer all inquiries, but Mr. John

M. Carson, chief of the bureau of Manufactures, will be glad to give further information whenever it is within his power. Very respectfully, CHAS. NAGEL, Secretary.

ROAST FOB PEARY BY THE BRITISH Think Naval Officer Is in a Worse Predicament Than Dr. Cook. ONLY TOOK ONE ESKIMO

EXPLORER ALSO TOASTED BECAUSE HE PREFERRED NEGRO TO WHITE MEN LEFFINGWELL'S CREW DESERT HIM.

(American News Service) London, Sept. 14. The general opinion of the scientists and geographers here today, is that Commander Peary, by making a final dash to the pole, accompanied by the single Eskimo, without preparing for the white man's corroboration to silence subsequent s criticism, finds himself in even a worse predicament than Dr. Cook, inasmuch as Cook had two Efekimos with him at the time of the alleged dlscoverv. Peary is also being criticised for taking a negro farther than white companions, his valet having accompanied him most of the way.

CREW DESERTED HIM. San Francisco, Sept. 14. Ernest Leffingwell, Arctic explorer, reached Point Barrow with a crew of picked white men who were to accompany him in extensivev oyages into unknown regions o fthe north, only to be deserted by every man of the crew before preparations for the first trip out from Point Barrow could be finished. News of Leffingwell's predicament was received in a letter written early last month and arriving here today. Leffingwell became known to the world through his connection with the illfated expedition of Mikkelson on the schooner Duchess, of Burford, which was wrecked in the ice not far from Point Barrow.
