Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 February 1898 — A Musical Mousetrap. [ARTICLE]

A Musical Mousetrap.

Acting upon the Idea that mice are very sensitive to music a Belgian manufacturer has substituted a musical mousetrap for the common trap. Instead of baiting the apparatus with a bit of cheese or bread the Inventor has bidden iu a double bottom a small music box, which plays automatically various popular airs of the country. The mice, he insists, are drawn Irresistibly toward the music box, and in order to hear better they step into tho trap and find themselves prisoners!
