June 26.-That buy ers of alcoholic beverages as well a sellers of them be compelled to take out licences is the proposition which Geo W. Culnia, an architect with ot fice in New Work has embodied in an ordinance which he has presented for adoption in his home town of Mon- teclair, N. J., near here. Under the proposed ordinance every purchaser of a drink must be supplied with lic ense and a metal badge. Should a liquor dealer sell to a man not thus tagged he would be rendered liable to prosecution with the revocation of the selling license as a penalty. The ordinance does not say how the tag shall be worn, the idea being pre sumably to give the wearer the liber ty to follow their own fancies in this respect. TO EXTERMINATE RATS Health Commissioner Will Begin Crusade In East St Louis. j ST. LOUIS. June 26,-Assistant j Health Commissioner Winn announc ed last night that Monday he will be gin a crusade which he expects will exterminate rats in East St. Louis. He has discovered a new virus, which he expects will -eradicate the pest. Rats from severel parts of the city will be innoculated with the virus and if his theory works, he says', with in a few months, the rodents will be unknown in the city. The plan which Dr. Winn will try is to innoculate several live rats with the virus .in a similar manner that a person is vaccinated. He will scrape a leer of the rodent and inject serum. The virus will cause the rodent to be come very sick and get a high fever. The fever will cause him to seek fresh air and thus prevent him from dying in' his hole. The disease which is produced by the scrum is highly con tagious to rats. The experiment which the physician has made show that the odor emanating from a pa tient attracts other rodents and they in turn become affected with the mal ady. The rat dies, however, practic ally without pain, so far any body save a fellow rat can tell. $100 A KISS.

Tho "Irony of Lift" Illustrated In Storiti of Falls. The "Irony of life" was strikingly Illustrated recently lu the news of a rtiHtle who slipped from a six barred gate ond broke his ueck ami of an i Itullnn aeronaut who fell 1,000 feet with his collupsed balloon with no worse- result ' 'mil a sprained ankle. A l-Yowli woman, Mine. Morel, and her daughter, while climbing in the Alps, tumr Zonuntt. fell a distance of 1,'juo foot, nor. much Ions than a quar ter of n mile, und, although the uiutber was killed on tin.' npot, her daughter e:;cnpod with u few bruises. Mr, Whyinper, tho famous mountaineer, hud a kI in i lit i" y miraculous deliverance from what wined to be vermin death whim iseulliijj Hie Matterliom, Losing his footing. 1) fell from rock to rock to the bottom of a precipitous gully, 100 yard lu depth, only to recover his feet with no worse damage than a badly cut head. Aud M. I'urvllle, a French writer, tolls the story of an East Indian living in the Island of Oghln who fell over a precipice 1,000 feet deep v. IHi no more serious con sequence ihiiu n good shaking, his full being broken bv the dense vegetation which grew ii'. the foot of tho cliff. While climbing a waterworks tower 240 feet lilgl) lu Chicago a steeple Jack dislodged a loose stone nnd was precipitated to the ground from a height of 17.'- feet, fortunately strik ing telegraph wires forty feet above the street mid thus breaking his fall. The spectator gasped with horror as they saw the man drop swiftly to de struction. A msh was- made to pick up Ids fclmttcred remains only to dis cover that He was practically un harmed. Not a boue wus broken, nnd a week Inter be was walklng'about as If nothlntt linil happened. More ,f) iiiirkabla and Indeed al most incrcdlbl.) was the experience of ChnrloH Woolen when he was making a parachute, descent In Venezuela. At n height of .1,000 feet Woolcot flung himself off ills- balloon Into space, when, to the horror of the thousands ! of onlookers, the parachute failed to ! open. The man dropped like a stono i with terrible speed until, when about ' 200 feet from the earth, the porachuto j flew open and at once coilupsed. 11 I was dashed tn the ground, his rlttht Jr II II II "V. ttdgn and hip were troeu. twin anklet and knee wen badly crushed, and bit splnnl column was dislocated, tod yet, after a year spent n hospital, Woolcot was restored to soundness of limb aft er surely the most terrible adventure of which any man hat lived to tell the story. i lint It Is lu the history of ballooning that one encounters the most remark able cases of sensational drops from the clouds. When Mr. Wise, famous aeronaut of the early nineteenth cen tury, was once making tu tscent hit balloon exploded nt an altitude of 13,- 000 feet and Is-gnn to drop swiftly to' tho earth, more than a couple of miles Mow. "The descent at first was rapid," Mr. Wise w rites, "aud accom panied by a fearful uiosulng noisy caused by air rushing through tho net work and the gas escaping from above. In another moment I felt a slight shock, and, looking up to see what caused It, 1 discovered that tho balloon wat cant ing over, being nicely doubled In, the lower half Into the upper." The balloon had, lu fact, formed It self Into a parachute ond, oscillating wildly, continued Its descent until it struck tho earth violently, throwing the aeronaut ten yards out of the car. "The car had turned bottom upward, and there I stood." says Mr. Wise, "congratulating myself and the per spiration rolling down my forehead in profuslon."-St. Ixmls Post-Dispatch Juit 8li.fld Hrlf. People of all sorts weigh tbeinalircs on the penny In tho slot machines found vfldely distributed In public places, but never before had this man, anyway, seen anybody weigh on one of them anything but himself or her self as this weigher, n woman, did In a subway station. She came In carrying lu one band a muff aud in the other a box of polished oak that was narrow nnd proportion ately high and maybe a foot in length. That the box was heavy was shown by the fact that the leather handle had been stretched somewhat by Its weight. ' And apparently Its present carrier had found It heavy nnd was curious about lu weight, for now she set the box on the platform of one of thoso weighing machines and dropped a pen ny In the slot. It weighed ten pounds, certainly a heavy box to carry. That was all she wanted to know-4Idn't weigh herself. She Just picked the box up again, this time with a smile, and went aboard the train. New York Sun, Perhaps the severo and somewhflj unseasonable storms of May may be accounted for by the fact that clrcui' and picnic schedules bore unusuall) early dates this year. "Our uavul policy," says Army and Navy Life, "should be preparedness In the for east, on our Pacific and on oar Atlantic coasts and supremacy In te gulf of Mexico."
