Th following true story which Ib

According to the tale an recited by

afflicted by a colony of rata since Mr
Llvermoro has boon away lo the coast.
Knowing that his wife would noon re
turn and that ho would be held re
sponsible for hlH earn of the house,
Mr. Llvermore began to take meas
ures a short lime ago to catch the
rats. Accordingly he act a steel trap
beside nn open Jar of fruit In hopes
o fcatchlng a rat and of making an
example of him. Shortly after he had
prepared a trap he noticed (his eye
glasses were missing, and he searched
the entire house and the postofflce as
wall In the hopes of finding them, but
all In vain. Hflwever, the mystery
was solved the next day. When he
looked at the rnt trap he found that
he had caught a large one and there
was something In the animals ap
pearance which seemed peculiar, so
he proceeded to dissect tho animal.
Great was hia surprise when he found

of Virginia that A. A. Roschke, anjfil!,t Run was turned on Fort Sum-

PEST DESTROYS OYSTERS.
I Teredo, nil Enemy to Oysters, Invad
I ing the Washington llitls.
Ilwaco. Aug. 24. The oyster beds
In Wlllapu harbor and Shoalwater
bay are threatened with destruction
by teredo. t Oyster men have discov
ered that the pests exist in alarming
numbers and that they ore fast mak
ing Inroads not only on the matured
product, but on the young growth as
well.
Many attribute the present invasion
of the beds by the teredo to the ab
sence ctf fresh water In the bay.
caused by the lack of freshets In the
! streams that feed it. but the majority
believe that teredo seed has been
shipped In with eastern oyster seed.
Hlshop Poane an expert In western
oyster culture, arrived nt the bay yes
terday and will endeavor to ascertain
the exact extent of the injury thus far
Inflicted upon the beds. He Is a
heavy stockholder in the Morgan Oys
ter company, which has large holdings
on Shoalwater bay.
Mr. limine has hail an experience
with the teredo on the company's
California Is-ds. nnd he does not relish
a repetition. There, he says. It be
came necessary to hire Japanese to
gather the teredo spat, the same ns
oyster seed is gathered, tn order to
effectually check the ravages of the
pest. The greatest vigilance has since
been necessary, in order to keep them
in subjection. j
The teredo multiplies rapidly and
the number of oysters which the worm I
will destroy. Mr. Ponne says, Is little
short of mnrvelous. Fastening on the
oyster's shell, the teredo bores a hole
through the oyster's side, inflicting a
mortol wound to which the victim
soon succumbs.
