INDIANS WERE SCARED.
Means Used to Pre,erve a Telegraph
System In Chill.

System In Chill
When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chill stratagem
was resorted to IN order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on the
part of the Araucanian Indians and
maintain the connection between the
strongholds of the frontier. according
to the New York World.
There were at the time between
forty and fifty captive Indians in the
CHILEAN camp. General Pinto called
them together, and, pointing to the
telegraph wires said:
do you see those wires?"
Eyes, general
Il want you to remember not to go
near or touch them. for if you do,
your hands will be held and you will
be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the General made them each in
succession take hold Of the wire at
both ends OF an electric battery in
full operation, after which he ex-
claimed:
Il command you to let go the wirep'
Il can't; my hands are benumbed!'
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped, Not
long after the General restored them
to liberty, giving them strict injunc-
tions to keep the secret and not betray
it to their countrymen.
This had the desired effect for, as
might be expected, the experience was
related in the strictest confidence tx
every man in the tribe, and the tele
graph has ever since remained un-
molested.

All the Prehistoric Views From the
Valleys to Be Seen at the Fair.
-.

In connection with the Arizona exhibit at
the Worlds Fair work of unusual magni-
tnde and interest has just been arranged for
In phpnix by the construction Of the larg-
est relief map ever made to show accurately
and In detail all prehistoric views of the
valleys of the Salt and ella rivers.
The map will give a birdseye view OF
nearly 1000 square miles, which, it is esti-
mated, once supported an ancient popula-
ton of 100000 to 100000 souls. and
whose passing into oblivion without leav-
ing tradition as 10 whence they came and
why thew disappeared constitutes one of the
greatest mysteries of the.human race. Pro-
fessOr 4. w. Putnam of Harvard College is
directing the work. and when completed the
map will show, in addition to remains of
cities whose population is estimated to have
at one time exceeded 100. 600 souls, old canals
and reservoirs with water flowing through
them as in the days Of their original con-
strnctioD.
The great antiquity of the views to be
shown is demonstrated by the fact that in
many cases the canals are covered with
lava and volc anic ashes of very remarka-
bic eruption. while the best engineering SIX II
of Europe and America has been unable to
find any defect In their construction. The
old canals in many instances cover thou

luckily IL soon passes. A traveller on the

the other day. AT each end OF every Bos-

and In case OF an accident by pulling down
this hook the train is brought to most
sudden standstill by the brakes
The gentleman entered the smokIng-ear
just beyond Biddeford, and pulling off his
oyercoat proceeded to hang Il up on that
danger hookl Instantly there was terrible
bump. and the train came to a standstill In
manner that nearly knocked the breath
out OF every passenger. Trainmen rushed
out to find what the matter was, but every
thing seemed TO be In working order. A
search finally discovered the oyercoat hang
Ing on the hook. and the owner OF 1t kicked
himself.
