Laying an Army Telephone.

An interesting experiment of INSTALL
Ing telephone by trotting cavalry
was recently successfully undertaken
by some Prussinn Chlans between
Berlin and POtsdaul. Two sets of one
officer and two n0n-coEn,issioned Off
GERS proceeded In the early morning
respectively from Berlin and Pots
dam. Each set was equipped with a
complete telephone apparatus which
one Of the men carried in Il leather
Ease ON his chest, besides the reuuis-
lite quantity of thin wire. The end Of
the wire was connected with the re-
spcctivc towns telephone station, AMI
the wire was, by means Of u fork fixed
at the end of the lance. thrown over
The tops Of the trees along the road.
AS each kilOmeter Of wire was thus
suspended halt was made, and 1t
was ascertalned whether there was
connection with the station. 4 new
kilometer of wire was then connected
with the former, and on went the men.
The two sets met ut Tcltow. The
wires. having been respectively tested
with their respective stations, were
connected. and telephone connection
between Berlin and Pots,lam was es-
mblished. The distance is about twen-
ty miles. and the whole thing was
done In about four hours.-Scientific
