MEANT ron.

In tn island of sumatra, at the bottom OF the

Whore Asia holds such giant lands In her ca

when the telegraph employees have finished
And Joined BY wires electric places very far

These animals uprourious will throw upon the

For tho telegrapbic wires make the incest

Which do for common Purposes, but not for
such n. these.
