ing on for short time along the Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railroad Branch
and the Brandon Branch, about 30
miles in length, the object being to de-
termine whether or not the barbed wire
of the fence on either side of the road
can be utilized for Geographic purposes.
The fence wire was placed in proper
condition for sufficient distance to
make satisfactory test, the wire being
run under the surface at road crossings.
Superintendent of Telegraph Simpson
decides that the plan is not practicable.
Telegraph work can be done over the
fence wire at this time, he says, but
during the winter months, when huge
snow banks completely cover the fence,
the line would be made useless. There
are thousands of miles of wire fence
along the Western lines, and it has been
contended that they should be utilized
for this purpose.-Scientiic American.
