The House Ret Eats Quantities of Lead Pipe andi Creates Sewer Gas. One of the most persistent and de- structive assistants the plumber has is the house rat. A rat can eat out plumb. ing as fast as an average honest man ean pay forit. To a rat a greasy lead pipe isa toothiome morceau. Whena hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds his way into the cellar of a house and thence up through the walls to the space between the floors, the first thing he tackles is the grease on the outside of a lead waste pipe. If he finds other food shortly thereafter, he spares the pipe, otherwise he eats the pipe and the Water escapes through to the ceiling below and ruins the plaster. The plumb- er is sent for ani repairs the leak, but he doesn’t tell what caused it. Once upon a time a rat was ‘‘hoist by his own petard,’’ so to speak. He got into a house and found his way to a lead pipe, on which he tried his teeth. It was pleasant chewing and put a fine edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon he had eaten a large hole in the pipe and a stream of scalding water poured forth. Before he could escape he had been scalded to death, to say nothing of being drowned. But he bad the satisfac- tion of knowing that he had ruined a fine ceiling and that the carpet under- | neath it had been soaked full of lime- water. There is no great loss without some small gain. Just to show what they could do, some rats once ate {0 feet of lead pipe under a bathroom and over the kitchen of a big hotel in this city. The floor of the bathroom was marble and under it was a fireproof floor made of iron beams and hollow tiles. The pipes were laid in the space between the floor and the girders. Rats were attracted thereto by the odors from the kitchen. They met the lead pipes. Waen their appetites Sree satisfied, the space wes filled with lead dust, ‘irain pipes from kiteatn sinks becaues they are lined with grease. The only way to keep them away is to peck the pipes with mineral wool. Miners! wool is a sub- stance made of furnace slag through which a jet of air has been forced while it cooled. The mineral wool gets into the eyes of the rats and drives them away. Modern plumbers discourage rats by laying iron ixstead of lead pipes. Rats, strange to say, are great breed- ers of sewer gax, They gather up bones and scraps of meat aboat the kitchen yard and carry them up into the rafters )) between floors and ceilings The pres- ence of this plunder is sooner or later discovered by the odor, and the plumber is sent for to disoover whence the sewer gas comes. It is not alwnys well to tell the housekeeper the truth. Thus itis the humble brown house rat helps his friend the plumber earn / an honest livelihood, anci the plumber || thanks him in his own gentle way.— Kansas City Star.
