ssWisconsin would NOT be known a. the

There were very few white people In

the population being confined 70 the
military posts, the missionary and trad
ing stations, and the lead mining re-
gions In the southwestern part OF the
territory. The miners were Of two
Glasses, men who worked the mines all
the year round and men who came up
from the Illinois country in the spring
and worked until the fall, when they
returned TO their prairies and groves.
The miners who were permanent dwell
ers in the region didn't bother to putlup
cabins or even huts. In fact, material
for such dwellings was not abundant.
They simply dug holes In The sides Of
the hills. large enough TO give them
room to sleep and eook-i1. Nowadays

Napoleon and His Pipe.

Napoleon was snuff taker in q mild
way, smelling Of the tobacco rather
than snufhng Il, but never learned to
smoke. Once only, according 20 his
valet, Constant, he tried q pipe. The at
tempt, Of which Constant gives . hu.
morous account, was on this wise: 8
An eastern ambassador, Persian OF
Turkish, had presented the emperor
with a handsome oriental pipe. and one
day the fancy took him, to use It Con
slant, at his masters request got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
It remained, Of course. for the emperor
to set the tobacco alight By drawing: In
his breath. so his valet told him. ks
But adds Constant, 'sat the rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be done. He contented
himself with opening and shutting his
lips without breathing the least in the
world. - 3 -
Finally he put the pipe into the Wallets
hands and commanded him to light 1t,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took sone
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe, and instead Of being expelled
through the mouth it came out OF the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says 81
all events 2rH
The emperor was nearly strangied,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried: ~

Australia, which has been going the rounds,
has ELECTED so many inquiries for further
information that E, Aeggle, who has been
a pioneer in this utilization, has written
from Australia to scientific journal in
this country telling lust how it was done.
On his property there are about 500 posts
to the mile of fencing, the wire of which is
run through auger holes in the ordinary
way. The rust that forms on the wire
makes sufficiently thick skin to insulate
it from slight moisture. (The climate is
very dry, the rainfall being only eight or
nine inches, 80 that insulation is not of the
vital Importance 1t would be in a moister
climate.l AT the straining posts the rust
is filed off the wire at either
side and piece of clean wire is
tightly screwed or keyed on to carry the cur
rent around the post; at knots or loop Joints
a similar connection is made. The ordi-
nary long distance microphone transmitter
is used at either end, with callbells and re-
celverS. On the farm mentioned by Mr..
Aeggle the longest service is sixteen miles,
but one run has continuous service OF
twenty eight miles, and there is no reason
why the system should not be worked on
much longer stretches. Mr.. AeggIe found
the cost of his telephone service to be
about 90 cents mile, and since he showed
the way many hundreds of miles of station
fences throughout Australia have been
CIV ia IeqASltion lor the purpose.
OBsCURING INCANDEsoENT LAMB BULBS BY
SAND BLAsT.-The use of acid, which hith-
erto has been largely depended upon for
the obscuring of frosted incandescent
lamp bulbs, has been found Objectionable
on many grounds, and especially from Civ
ing greasy appearance to the glass. It is
now proved that the sand blast can do the
work of the acid with none of it's draw
backs. The sand blast is in almost univer-
sal use for obscuring and decorating lamp
and gas-moons and chimneys, but it has
until recently been considered too power
full for the frosting of incandescent bulbs.
A machine has been invented for this pur-
pose by which from five to eight dozen
lamps can be obscured per hour. The
blast is operated by blower, only one
half horsepower being required.

Geld. Beneath these pictures are round
which are backed by the colors white or
green, according to which side is in the
field. On this colored backgroun d is
shown the number of the fieldsmen occu-
pylng that position. There are numerous
other openings, behind which electric
motors bring into view pictures and fig
ures, which instantly indicate a "ball, "
''strike, foul or error" and the person
by whom it is made, base hits, the number
OF innings being played and the score of
the respectiv sides. The man at the bat
is indicated as he faces the pitchers. and
the audience Immediately knows his name,
and each and every decision of the umpire
as to fouls, balls, strikes, etc. As he ad
vances from the plate after making a hit
the audience sees him appear at first, sec
ond or third base until he scores or is put
out, and it is informed the instant either
event occurs. The presentment is about
as realistic as it is possible to make it, and
every detail of the game can be followed
with closeness and accuracy. The whole
system is controlled by keyboard located
IN front of the scene, where a telegraph
operator sits at his instrument, which is
connected by a direct wire to the ball
ground. AS the progress of the game is
flashed to him over the wire he simply
presses the proper buttons and the play
Is reproduced before the spectators within
i've seconds just as it takes place at the
scene of action.

BR0MAN'S LIFE rs INSURED.
He Has an Accident Policy for a Heavy
Amount in This City,

Gustaf Broman, the bold navigator, APP
peared in Judge Joachimsens court yes
terday morning to answer charge of per-
jury preferred against him by Mrs. Con-
stance Roy of Vallejo street. The case
was continued till tomorrow
Detective Anthony was correct in his
suspicion that Broman would have some
insurance policy on his life before he gave
out that he wo uld attempt the foolhardy
trip from Coos Bay to this city in a twelve
foot boat. The detective idea was that
if Broman started on the trip the boat
would be found on some beach, bottom up,
and Broman's friends would claim the in
surance money on the ground that he had
been drowned, and it would have ulti-
mately found its way into Broman' s
pockets.
Yesterday afternoon l. Isaacsen, agent
of the United States Accident Insurance
Association, called at police headquarters
inquiring about Broman. He said that
Brennan in August last had taken out
what is known as $4,000 and $40 900 ac-
cident policy with his company.
1--WE have the power to cancel policy
at any time, !" said he, "and we will at once
give Broman notification of the act that
his policy is Cancelled. /"
