trees were blown over by the terrific blasts which at times prevail in that re- gion. A great deal of the comparative slowness of the installation was owing to the inability of the workmen to labor in such a rarified atmosphere. At one point the wires were strung at an eleva- ticn of 12,060 feet above the sea level. In such an altitude the lineman soon be- came completely tired; after he has climbed two or three poles he has to take along rest to recuperate his energies. The preparation

of the holes for the ,

poles, which would have been tedious in |

similar ground even in an mosphere, was an_ especially fatiguing operation. It was eften neces- sary to blast a hole for the pole by the use of giant powder, and an ex-miner, who had had an extensive experience with explosives, was assigned to the job. The digging of one pole hole would sometimes occupy him a whole day, working honestly. powder were used on the line for this purpose.

When the Continental divide was reached, the poles had to be abandoned, and the wires were placed in a subd-mar- ine cable, which was buried in a two- foot trench for a distance of 7,600 feet. The advisability of abandoning the aerial construction at this point was demon- strated by the experience of the company that maintain the Denver and Leadville line. At that point on that line, Mos- quito Pass, the peles were originally set 100 feet apart. As soon as the wires were covered with sleet they promptly snapped, and the line was useless. Double the number of poles was then used, with the same result. The space between the poles was then reduced to fifteen feet, but as soon as the sleet came the line was swept

down flat. Eventually «n underground cable was laid for two and one-half miles, and there has been no trouble

The rapidity and size of these ice almost incredible to those who have had no experience with mountain telephone lines. The foreman of the construction gang remarked, when questioned about this difficulty: ‘*Why, man, the sleet comes down Mosquito Pass in such a way that a telephone wire would be as big around as your body in no time.’’ In winter the linemen detailed to make repairs travel on snowshoes. If they are overtaken by a storm or find they must remain out over night, they push on for the nearest refuge, which is ordi ‘ted cabin formerly oc- sipie d hy some vrespector miner, All the

in the Transvaal previous to the Jame- son raid, and the effect it may have in the trials, has led James Payn to tell about other famous cryptegrams in an article in the London Illustrated News.

Que of the earliest methods of secret writing was to shave the head of the messenger and write the message on the scalp. After the hair had grown the messenger was sent to his destina- tion, where the hair was again removed and the message brought to light.

The Spartans wound a strip of paper around a staff, wrote lengthwise the staff, and when removed the message on the paper could not be read until it was wound on another staff the same shape and size’ as the first one. Charles I. was beheaded through the evidence afforded by cryptograms that were too simple. Sympathetic ink has been much used, but it has always been danger- ous.

Mr. Paynsaysthatthe only thorough- ly undecipherable cryptogram is the simplest. To use it the two persons must have bo@ks exactly alike. Any book will do. In writing a message the first letter on the first page is a, the first on the second page is b, and so on. The second message wiil begin

Over in Montrose there is a foreman of a printing office who has a series of ‘pigeon holes” back of his desk. One day he pulled off his cuffs, rolled them up and placed them in the aforesaid pigeon holes. Soon a little wren flew through the window of the office and decided that inside the rolled cuffs would be a good nesting place. She was not disturbed, and is now sitting

on her little eggs, the little window being left open for her. No one is al-

lowed to molest the bird or disturb its rest.—New York Press.

Collecting Kent.

Commend me to the old lady in Roch- ester who sought a novel and successful means of coJlecting her house rent Inst week. She was an old lady of ideas and a knowledge of human nature gleaned from a lifetime of experience with the world. She owned a house and lot in Rochester, and the income from it was the substance upon which she depended for life’s necessities. It was rather an ostentatious house and lot, and the ten- ants were persons with a reputation to sustain, although apparently embarrassed for ready money. Two months’ rent was due, and the agent was not able to col- lect.

The old lady said it was simple enough. She would collect it herself. Now, she wasn’t a stylish nor an artistic old lady, but she was sturdy and imper- turbable, and he: jroportions were ample and her spirit unfaltering. She rang the door bell at an early hour the other morning and inquired for the head of the family. The servant glowered at her and said he was not to be seen yet for two hours, because the family had not yet risen. ‘Tle carly caller was cheerful, and said she'd sit on the doorsteps and wait.

Finally she was granted an audience with her tenant, who put her off with smooth promises. ‘‘I’ll just sit here and wait till you can pay it,’’ replied the righteous collector, and she settled her- self once more on the doorstep, took some knitting from her basket and prepared to spend the day. She made a quaint-lock- ing picture, and all the neighbors won- dered. When anyone came within con- versing distance and stared rudely at her she explained in a friendly way that she was waiting till the tenants paid their rent. She looked truthful, and no ore doubted her, and her plan worked like a

time there was a general belief that the active germs of influenza were carried as dust in the air by the winds, or per- haps by the upper currents. This idea

was dissipated by several memcirs that

went to show that the wind and weather were entirely subordinate factors, and that the spread of the

disease followed the line of travel, especially the principal steamboat and routes, and that, therefore, the germs were carried by diseased individuals, or by articles that had been used by or had come into contact with them, and not by the winds. It is quite possible that germs may be carried on the air for a few feet or rods from one individual to another, but not for many ! A great

railroad

miles. number of epidemics, such as yellow fever, smallpox and cholera, have been traced back to the direct importation of their contagia (whether animate or inanimate) by human agencies. The strongest confirmation of Prof. Abbe’s deduction is found in the fact that ex- perimental data show that few disease germs can maintain their vitality more than a few hours when freely exposed to the air and sunshine, as they pr »b- ably would be if they were carried in the atmosphere as minute particles of dust,

Lost His Pedals on the Hill,

Last Sunday a fat man, new to wheeling, set forth upon his wheel to perspire and be happy. In of events he cameto Troost avenue. He turned into it from Fourteenth street, and a worried look crossed his face, because a new wheelman is gen- erally afraid of a runaway on an asphalted hill. His worry was not groundless, for before he had gone half way down the hill his pedals escaped him and he sailed away.

As it the church at the i of the hill were over, and the poured forth. The wheelman saw death or a broken
