Cockrosch That Likes Tobacco and
Drinks Ink Is One Visitor—Toad
Came Regularly for Its
Feast of Flies.
A Boston nnrl Jlaine railroad signal
toweruian tells this story of pets he
has made in his lonely porch al)ove the
tracks:
At niidniRht nine months ago a cock
roach crept out from under 111;* tele-
^rnph <losk and bei^an to tiriiik out of
the inkwell; just about that time I laid
my citijar down lh«‘ tlesk anil b«‘^aii
to work the telegraph key.
The cockroach w:ilki‘d over to my
cigar and sucked at the moist end for
a second or so, then ran to tin* ink
well again and took a drink, ih«>n eaiut*
back to the cigar; he ri';t»*afi‘<l liiis
l»erfonnance several tiiiu^s and stag
gered away drunk as a lord.
Every night around midnii:ht for the
past nine m<mths this coekroacii ii:is
drank from the inkv.<'ll on my
and either sucked th(' moist em! o/ niy
eigar or some moistened tobacco 1
place near the inkwc'll for him.
One of the l>!iys foiiiid a tiny musk
rat in the mrirsh l>ack of the siirnal
tower one day, and he brouglit it into
the tower. The muskrat l>ecnnu> very
tame and proved a most Mff»‘<*tioiiaf»*
pet. He slept on tlie desk near the
telegraph instrmiients for over two
years. Although he went out v»*ry
often, he wouldn’t stay long, and
would scratch at the door until some
of us would run downstairs and let
him in. Unfortimately oin* pet was
killed by a freight train whi!*' erfiss-
ing the tracks near the tower one day.
After the muskrat died we brought
in a tiny woodchuck that a trainman
had eai»tur<Hl out on the line, and he
bi'came very much attached to all of
us, and, like the muskrat, he became
a very eh*ver and amusing pet.
“Shuck” stayed with us two years, and
finally he disappeared one day. Pos
sibly some dog got him, or ho may
have been crushed by a train.
For the past 20 years an English
sparrow has nested in the eaves of the
towor, and tliis sparrow flies in and out
of the tower at will, picks up bread
crumbs on the floor and catches an oo
casioual cockroach. What worries the
tower men is that our pet sparrow may
?ome day eat our pet cockroach.
Last 5'ear a toad hopped up on to
the doorstep of the t()wer and sat there
blinking. One of the boys fed him
a fly and the toad gobbled ift in an
instant, and every afternoon all sum
mer long that toad hopped up on to
the step and ate flies as fast as the
railroad men would feed them to him.
The boys took turns and fed him in
relays; the yardmaster said the boys
were neglecting their work to feed the
toad; but he became so fascinated
watching the performance that he
caught flies for an Kour one day and
fed the toad.
I’m afraid the toad will go hungry
this summer if he shows up, for we’re
too busy moving war supplies to both
er with feeding pets around a railroad
yard.
Every stray dog that ever wandered
into the ward has found a haven in the
tower, and several litters of puppies
have been born there.
We’ve had cats galore; one cat in
particular was a snake catcher, and
she brought in a snake nearly every
day.
Stole Sugar by Bucketfuls.
Sugar thieves employed an ingenious
method the other day at Launceston,
Australia. A quantity of sugar had
been bought for export but, ships not
being immediately available, it was de
cided to store the stuff at the port. Ac
cordingly huts were built on the
wharves, but as the decking had shrunk
somew’hat, tarpaulins were fir?t laid
down, and then the sugar bags
placed on this. The doors were
locked, and a watchman placed in
charge. When the time came to empty
the sheds the bottom tier of bags
were found flat and empty, with a slit
in the under side. Each slit corre
sponded with one in the tarpaulin di
rectly over spaces in the planking. The
method of the sugar thieves was sim
ple. When the tide was about half
way up the piles, a boat was taken
under the wharves as near as possible
to the stores, and then It was only a
matter of crawling over the ties, knife
and bucket in hand, until the right
spot was reached.
Brave Act Rewarded.
Arthur G. Palmer, a water tender
attached to the United States ship
O’Brien was overboard and strug
gling in the water. A strong ebb
tide was running and Palmer had all
he could do to keep from going down.
At the moment when he was near ex
haustion David Goldman, a machin
ist’s mate, second class. Jumped over
board and, beating his way through
the rough water, reached the man and
brought him to safety. He has been
commended by the secretary of the
navy for this action. Goldman enlist
ed in the navy in 1911 at San Fran^
dsco.
Concrete Ship In Norway.
CSommercial Agent Norman L. And
erson reports the launching of a 600-
ton concrete ship from the Fougner
yards at Moss, Norway. The ship has
four water-tight compartments; the
engine, a 220 horsepower Bolinder mo
tor, is placed aft. The boat has two
large holds and two hatches, each
