A well-known resident of Pepper Plains, Vistoria, hung a wet overcoat on a peg to dry. During the evening he required something from the pocket of the coat, and dipping his hand into it was amazed to find it nearly full of mice. He took the coat outside, and shook it over a tub. when 104 mice fell into rhe water. Hr has hung the coat on the same peg every night since, and the decreasing number shows that the device is effective.
