A tiny mouse recently solved the problem of getting an electric
wire through a pipe 197 feet long at the Vinery Building
(Norfolk, Va.). There were several bends in the pipe, and modern
methods, such as blow-pipes, failed to produce results.
A mouse was caught and a thread tied to its leg. A tape was tied
to the thread, and the wire to the tape. The mouse was given a
start, and went through the pipe in a hurry. Liberty was its
reward.--Philadelphia _Record_.
