Under Dimculties.

The methods employed by the Pari'
sian authorities for communicating
with the provinces during the siege OF
Paris were persevering and ingenious.
The principal means Of sending letters
was by balloons and carrier pigeons,
but many other plans were tried IL
was almost impossible for a messenger
to get through the German lines.
Even when other difficulties could be
overcome, the danger of search and
discovery of the dispatch was great.
Many of the messengers made in
cisions in the skin, and hid a dispatch
under the epidermis. Others provided
themselves with hollow ten centima
pieces, or hollow keys, which could be
opened like box and in which
air. tnt4synapld he. hidden. One was
dispatches, of course, were written il
cipher, and covered only fragment o.
paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves
and natural tunnels under the lef,
branch of the Seine, and by diving and
crossing the bed of the river in diving
suits, but these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting OF
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc,
andothrowing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float to Paris. They did float ia
Paris, but not until after the armistice.
1t was supposed that they were stopped
by dams, or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until
the siege was at an end.
Another clever and economical de-
vice was the use of hollow glass
spheres with an orifice to admit the
dispatch. These were small and light,
they looked SO like bubbles on the
water that it was impossible to distin.
guish them, they fioated easily over
the dams and through the nets set BY
Germans. They would probably have
proved very useful, had not the river
frozen soon after they were invented.

BIG SMASH-UP TODAY.
An Electric Car Crashes
Into a Wagon.
GOING AT HIGH SPEED.
Pierre Adams Injured and His Team
Strewn About.

This forenoon serious accident occur
ed ON Mineral Spring avenue, at the cor
ner of Conant street, when an electric car
crashed into the grocery wagon OF Pierre
Adam, of 127 Harrison street.
Mr.. Adam was thrown out, and the
wagon was turned completely over,
smashing II up in general.
The body OF the wagon was raised of
the front wheels and thrown to one side.
The horse attached escaped injury.
The car was coming down Mineral
Spring avenue, in charge OF Conductor
Rankin and Motorman Latham, at a
pretty good speed as the providence horse
car was waiting at the foot OF Garden
street.
Adam was driving along Conant street
toward Mineral Spring avenue. His horse
was travelling pretty fast, and car and
wagon met directly on the track.
Mr.. Adam did not appear to be much
hurt and walked to his store where he was
seen by TRIBUNE reporter.
lie said he did not hear the gong nor see
the car, as he had a top on his wagon.
Conductor Rankin said that the gong
was rung continually from the turnout
above Conant street, and that the motor
man, when he saw the team first around
the corner Of the church, shouted to
Adam to hold up and did all that was
possible to stop the car.
Motorman Latham said that when he
left the turnout he began to ring the gong.
The Providence car was waiting and he
was going at good speed so as not to de-
lay either car.
He says Adam looked out of the team
at the car when he shouted and the team
was then about 0or 40 feet from the
track, but he did attempt to stop his
horse.
Some put the blame ali on the motor
man and say the car was going too fast,
but those who saw the accident and were
seen by the reporter say he did all he
could to avert the accident.

doubtless arrive in due time.

been received from Washington that any
such desire exists there The new rumor
from the United States that such pur

surprise both here and in Santiago. The
intention OF the Chilian government is, on
the contrary, to maintain n lasting, good
understanding with the United States,
