TeIssraphing I'm 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 hun
dred 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 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

often destroy the poles in few weeks.
Monkeys swing on the poles and break
them, and in the. forests crcepers and
rope like withes oyergrow 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 buzzards make life
miserable for the telegraph and tele.
phone people, These big, heavy birds,
the only scavengers are around in great
numbers. They roost on the wires or
hy up against them and invariably break
them short of. In one largo 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 1t was altogether Inn,
possible to maintain line of telegraph
through Persia for more than few days
at time; the natives regularly de
stroyed it as device of the evil one.
Finally the Shah issued an edict making

The committee on ways and means,
having closed its hearings and its doors,
is now discussing the question Of raising
the revenue. The large reduction which
1t is intended to make in the tariff rates,
and which will cause large falling off
of revenue before it goes into operation,
renders it necessary to substitute some
method Of meeting this deficit. The
Democratic members of the ways and
means are not in complete accord at
present as to how the revenue required
snail be raised. Several members of the
committee, including McMillin, Turner
