Another enemy to the preservation of gutta percha exists in vermin: rats indulge freely in gutta percha, and are evidently only deterred from knawing through it by shocks received on reaching the conducting wire. Mice have contributed their share of interruptions to gutta percha covered wires. But the peculiar cause of deterioration in gutta percha that I want to bring before you to-night, is one due to the existence of an extremely minute insect--an animal so small that it easily escapes the naked eye. It happened a short time ago that simultaneously underground wires in different parts of the country showed novel signs of decay similar to each other. Not being satisfied with the reason attributed by the local officers, I resolved to examine the wires in situ for myself.
