MAKING RATS WORK.
St. Louis Firm Gets It: Drain Pipe Clean. 1
ed Gratis.
There are 150 men in North St. Louis .
who defy any one to dispute the fact}
that Tom Maguire is a. genius. Mr.f
Maguire is yard foreman at the Lac-N"
lede Gas Company’s plant. His en-'
thusiastic proclaimers of his genius are
his fellow-workers in the big yard.
A sewer pipe leading from one of the
buildings to the river bank, 160 feet
away, became clogged. The pipe is 16
feet below the surface. It was not
known just where the Obstruction was,
so arrangements were made to open
the trench. Then Maguire brought, in-
card, via, rats. _
He had been thinking about the plan
for several days. One night, by the
aid of generous hunks of fresh cheese,
he managed to entrap two big gray ro-
dents, and these he-determined to put
into the sewer. They were taken to
the mouth at the river bank and re-
leased. The opening was then. closed
securely behind them, leaving the ani-
mals'with only one chance of life. That
Was to go straight ahead. And they
did. .
Several more rats were caught each
succeeding day and turned into the
sewer, until a dozen fine specimens
were gnawing away in the pipe. The
morning after, the last detachment
.joined the main rodent army water
commenced to trickle from the pipe.
Iron rods and steam were applied. In
ten minutes the sewer was clean—St.
