T.lexraphing IN the tropics.

The business of telegraphing has its
difficulties and is prolific of evaporation
in this country, with dead wires and live
wires. crosses and tangles. cyclones and
billiards. and auroras and bugs"
Telegraphic communication anywhere
is subject to interruption from a hun
bred and one causes, and few people who
kick about the service are aware of the
difficulties to be overcome in maintaining
perfect electric circuit. But in the
tropics the maintenance of a telegraph
line in good working order is constant
uphill fight against all manner of inter
rupting enemies that linemen and opera
tors in this latitude never dream Of
In Brazil the wires get tangled up
with the cable-like web of an immense
spider, which. dripping with dew or
rain, makes cross connections, short cir
cults and grounds almost daily. Ants
often destroy the poles in few weeks.
Monkeys swing on the poles and break
them, and in the forests creepers and
rope like withes overgrow the poles and
wires every few weeks. All this is more
or less true of all Central and South
America. In Cuba there is an orchid
that incrusts the wire and causes leak
age.
In the West Indian islands the John
crow, or turkey buEzards make life
miserable for the telegraph and tels-
phone people. These big, heavy birds,
the only scavengers are around in great
numbers. They roost on the wires or
fly up against them and invariably break
them short off In one large town the
telephone lines that ran by the public
market had to be put underground be-
cause the buzzards congregated there in
great numbers, rested on the wires and
broke them almost nightly. On the
pampas of Argentina the herds of prac-
tically wild cattle rub and butt against
the poles and frequently break them
down.
For some years it was altogether Inn
possible to maintain line of telegraph
through Persia for more than few days
at a time; the natives regularly de-
stroyed it as device Of the evil one.
Finally the Shah issued an edict making
the loss of an ear the penalty for =
first offence of destroying q telegraph
line, the loss Of hand for the second
and death by being buried to the neck in
the sand beside the telegraph line tbs
penalty for the third offence. 0ne-sared
men were common in Persia for several
years, for the Shah was determined to
introduce civiizing inhuences.

The sad Man Plays the Veteran Dodg
Successfully.


Successfully.
The tall. aged. sad-looking man ate a
bountiful dinner at the restaurant, and
then with a check calling for seventy
i've cents made his way to the cashiers
'lesk. He banged down the check with
battered silver dollar and looked sad
der than ever
The cashier picked up the dollar and
examined it suspiciously. 1t had deep
dent on one side, and looked as though
1t had been plugged. At that moment
the customer spoke: 1T is very painful
for me to part with that dollar 1t
saved my life once, however. and must
do 50 again. AT the siege of yicksburg
! carried II in my vest pocket. and the
dent you see there was made bv bull
let, which otherwise would have killed
me. have kept it since as a memorial.
and it well-nigh breaks my heart TO let
it 90; but ] must-I have nothing else. -
The cashier was plainly interested.
in what year was the siege of Vicks-
burg?" he asked.
"SiXty-three.' said the sad man.
promptly.
And this dollar" returned the
cashier, lis dated 1877, and is a coun.
terfeit"
the sad man looked annoyed. "Of
course it is he replied. ''How could
have an 1871 dollar in my pocket in Gs
if it wasn't a counterfeit?'
And the cashier was so dumfounded
that he passed out a quarter in change,
and allowed the sad man to escape. =

A Magnificent Lecture.

A clipping from Wilmington Mess
enger, Wilmington, N. c., concerning
Mr.. Gron says:
Those who were not present at the
Y. M. c. A. Auditorium last night
missed one of the finest lectures ever
delivered before Wilmington audi
ence. The lecturer was Mr.. Neils l..
J. Gron, and his subject was Scandi.
navia and Lapland--"The Land OF
the Midnight Sum-"
A fair audience was present, and
they evinced their high appreciation
of the lecture and lecturer by frequent
applause. Mr.. Gron carried them on
trip almost around the world, and
he made it exceedingly interesting by
narratives of his visits to many foreign
countries. The main subject Of his
lecture, however, was Scandinavia and
Lapland, and he certainly captivated
his audience by his account of that
wonderland.
He is a native of Scandinavia but
is now resident of Iowa He is a
young man Of fine education, scholarly
attainments and polish, and has an ad
mirably fine delivery. He speaks splen-
did English and his eloquence is of a
high order. The fact is the lecture
and the lecturer gave the most emf
nent satisfaction, and everybody who
heard him was both pleased and edi-
fed.
Mr.. Niles Lavrids Jensen Gron will
deliver his lecture on Scandinavia in
the Lutheran Church Sunday evening
June 4th. All are invited. Seats free.

Herman Kneiss, son Of John Kneiss
met with an accident Tuesday morn
ing. He was driving c. B. Chrisman's
delivery wagon, and while on Fifth
street the bolt came out of one Of the
shafts, causing it to drop. The boy
got out and tied the shaft with string
driving up to Mr.. Chrisman's for
more goods for delivery. Other goods
were placed on and he started down
Main Street. When in front of Mr..
F. p. Drinkers, the shaft fell again,
the horse began to run and the boy
became frightened. When at the
head of the high hill on lower Main
street, a sudden lurch was made and
the wagon overturned throwing the
boy in the street. The horse became
disengaged and ran some distance be-
fore being caught. The boy was con.
siderably hurt about the back, although
the physicians think not serious.
