rats are a menace, but that Is only one form of their costly and el in porous depredations, .ay.s a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society: "Kats arc practically omnivorous and their depredations cover a wide ranKP," writes Kdward W. Nelson in a communication to the soe-iety. "They fod Indifferently upon all kinds of vegetable and animal matter. "Thy difr up newly planted Kraln. destroy it while RrowinK. and also when in the shock, .stack, crib, prannry. mill, elevator, warehouse, wharf and ship's hold, as well as In the bin and freed trough. They eat fruits. vcKetabUs. and meats in the market. dcstroyiriK at the same time by pollution far more than is consumed. Destroy Poultry. "They destroy enormous numbers of pkks and pemltry. as well as the f-STFTs and younr of sons and pamo blrels. In addition, they invade stores and warehouses and destroy Kreceries ef every lescriptif)n. as v ell as furs, laces, silks, carpets and leather poeds. "They cause many disastrous fires by Knawiner matches, by nawlnji through lead pipe near ens meters, or by cutting th insulation from electric wires in eirder to secure material for nests and by pratherinfr oil-soaked r-'Ts and other inflam

mable material in their nests; flood houses by pnawinp through lead water pipes; ruin artif.ci.il ponds and emLankmnts by burrowing, and öainape foundation?, floors, doors. und furnlnhinpa of dv!linK. "As dlseapo carriers they also cause enormous commercial losses. especially throuKh th Introduction of Lubcnlc plapue and the rrs-Jltin-; suspension of commerce. With the introduction of plaRue they become dlreetiy re??-"r.iM' for busir.eps disaster ns well as for an appalling mortality. Ix)vs of foodstuffs. "Much the greater part of losf from these pests is in foodstuffs, which, as already indicated, are destroyed at every stace from the time the seed is planted until they are ready for human consumption. 'Investigations some years uro indicated that the direct annual losses sustained In the United States were about $200.000.000 with a jrreat additional sum in 'indirect losses, lncludlns tho effect on tho public health and commerce from the diseases carried by rats. an! the necessary expenditures in combating them. Assuming, rouphly speaking, that as estimated the rat population In the United States is 50.000.000 for the cities and 150.O00.O00 for the rural districts, it will require the destruction of property by each rat of only a little more than one-fourth a cent a day to make the 'ajrtjrcK-it' creat sum estimated as destroyed by these pest yearly in this country. "A more definite idea ef the losses fro.in rats may be Kaine 1 by 'nsiderint? what it means in human effort.

Destruction During "Takinp: the nveratre turns on n man's labor tore, as shown by the 1910. it reeiuires the work of about 150.000

farms, agricultural implements, and other equipment to supply the foodetnff destroved annually by rat? in the United States. In addition, rats destroy other property mainly of agricultural origin, the production

of which requires the work of about 50.000 men. "This gives a total of 200. 00C men, with their equipment, in this country, whose economic output Is devoted polely to feeding and otherwise providing for rats. If a small fraction of this array and the money Involved could be concentrated in a continuous ' national campaign ag-ainat these pepts a vaa; saving could be achieved."

LONDON. July 2 7. A new idea for the maintenance of world peac has come out of America and is bring worked out tentatie!y In Europe. It is the idea of certain members ef the American Chamber of Comii'urc that irasmuoh as world wari of the past have been has-ed '.argely upon commercial rivalries and commercial misunderstanding, much can be done toward keeping the world f;t P-a.e. i.v increasing international commercial knowledge. It is argued that if a clearing li-iUM' of commercial information can be formed, which will keep tho manufacturers and business men of the world posted on world opportunities and world needs, mutual undecstanding will be Increased and the danger? of trade misunderstandings which may lead to war will b"? minimized. .Such an international clearing houe, morco(-r, would he expected to deal with information regarding shortages of this or that product or machinery In any given country. It would bring International market "chsor" to the ir bases of supply an. I thereby be an lu-trument which would at least tend to preent th. hortaue of supplies and consequent unemployment which leads to unrest and consequently, frequently, to wars. The scheme is entirely in a tentative stage as yet. Hut it is boin-T discussed and mf,theds putting1 it into operation are biing considered
