Mr. Boddoln also referred to the Spanish galleon Santa Margarita, which in 1N07 sailed from Santo Do mingo with $7,000,000 on board and was w reeked In Mona Passage near Porto Itico. Her location was discov ered in lfx>s and a group of Harvard men saih>d on a yacht they tsmght to salvage her.

Six of the galleons, Mr. Bow doin said, being in shallow water, were raised and about $20,000,000 recovered, but the others, containing $120,000,000, being sunk In more than 2<>0 feet of water, still rested at the bottom of Vigo Bay. ? Commerce an^ Finance. Destructiveness of Hats. It is estimated that the annual loss from rats amounts to hundreds .of .mil lions of dollar.*. Their destructiveness Is almost without limit. They are pro lific breeders, giving birth to young three times a year and from six to twenty at a birth. The quantities of grain and foodstuffs which they de stroy every year is almost beyond be lief. Added t<> this is the damage done to materials of all kinds by their habit of gnawing. They are resixmsible for many fires from their habit of secret ing lnliamable materials, and not in frequently matches, which in course of time are ignited. But the worst charge against them Is the spread of disease. Living on and in tilth, they spread the germs of the worst diseases known to mankind, es|>eolally the terrible bubonic plague, and in this way have been the direct cause of death to hundreds of thou sands of human beings. Do not confuse him with some of his cousins like the interesting trade or pack nit, sometimes called the bushy-tailed rat or the wood rat. This condemnation is of the common rat with whom every one is familiar. He is smart and clever, and doubtless this is why he has <*ontlnued to live in spite of all the persecution he re ceives. Kill him whenever you can, but do it mercifully. ? Exchange. THE VALUE OF A SMILE.
