It is not common know ledge, except
to these familiar with electrical and
telephone history. sHlr lie iiest telephone
was constructed III Racine. Wis, and
that the inventor, DR. ). d. Cushman,
is now resident Of Chicago. His offices
are in the Stock Exchange building.
Here the venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines III this part Of
the far west, pursues his business
with more alertnegs IN affairs tlen the
average young man.
In a corner Of the room is large,
worn piece Of muslin, on which is
painted IN thin color "A representation Of
telegraph line stretching away in tile
distance, connected with crude instrn-
ment set ON two logs. near which frog
is sitting by stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line Of good
cedar posts" which DIR. Cushman con-
structed west from Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning
arrester which led to his discovery.
1t is reminder of the days when DR.
Cushman was associated with Professor
Morse in the pioneer days Of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone trans
mitter, constructed in 1851, 20 years be-
fore the Bell patents were taken out 1t
is a small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing a mechanism ON
the same principle as that of the modern
transmitter.
In 1851 DIR. Cushman undertook the
construction of lightning arrester, his
object being to take The lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that it would not interfere with
the light current used in telegraphing.
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie ON two logs, and in order TO
know when it had operated triple
magnet, with a sheet of thin iron at
the poles, similar in construction to a
modern receiver, was placed in the
corner of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument the cleo
tro magnet would pull this strip of iron
down into the range Of a permanent
magnet which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement Of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end Of the line.
One day while thunderstorm was com
ing up and DR. Cushman was watching
the instrument the croaking Of frogs
was heard 10 miles away This is the
explanation of how the old painting
with the crude instrument aud the
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery of the telephone

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.
The early settlers in America paid no
attention toward protecting themselves
against fire, and the different colonies
had grown into fair sized communities
with several industries we'll established
before any steps were taken in that di-
rection. About the earliest mention of
a definite method of fire protection was
made at Salem, Mass, in 1914, when
each inhabitant was ordered TO be sup
piled with ladder under penalty of a
fine of shillings These ladders were
undoubtedly made in Salem or in the
immediate vicinity, and one might
readily say that here began an Ameri-
can industry that is now carried on SO
extensively in many places and under a
multitude Of different forms. In l64S
four fire wardens were appointed III New
York city. These men passed law to
fine every one whose chimney became
foul or whose house was burned by his
own carelessness. The money so OBJ
tanned was to be used III the purchase
of ladders, hooks aud buckets. These
were not provided, however, until some
years later.
Boston also took steps in this direc-
ton, and ON the first day Of the twelfth
month of 1858, or, by the modern
method of computation, on Feb J.,
1854. the following entry is found in
the town records:

INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.-At the town

conflict between citizens and Italian la
borers is imminent. Two hundred Ital-
ians have been employed in construction
on the Chicago, Indianapolis and Rock
port Railroad, but for three months they
have not received their wages. Last
night they visited the headquarters OF the
contractors, and finding them deserted
became convinced that there was no pros
pect of receiving their pay. Many of
them got drunk and rioting began. The
officers of the law were powerless to do
anything. Stores were broken open and
goods carried away. The citizens shut
themselves up in their houses and stood
guard all night with guns and pistols,
while business houses were abandoned
to the rioters. The Sheriff has summoned
500 citizens to assist him in preserving
the peace, but the Italians so far seem TO
be masters of the situation.

SAN JOSE, Juue %. The annual picnic
run of the California Associated Cycling
Clubs was held in Niles Canyon to-day. In
spite of the hot weather, there was a large
attendance, and almost every wheelin g
club in this part of the State was repre-
sented. There were also a good many
unattached wheelmen and young ladies
in bicycle costume present. The Garden
City cyclers were the more numerously
represented, having about ninety MEM
bers present. The Olympics, Bay Citys,
and, in fact, all the San Francisco clubs,
turned out we'll.
The day was very pleasantly spent, but
was greatly marred by the ill-treatment
which the wheelmen received at the
hands of the management Of the picnic
grounds. Arrangements had been made
with them to furnish substantial lunch
for fifty cents per plate. The first table,
ful that sat down to the lunch provided
were so disgusted that they advised the
remainder of the wheelmen to 60 to some
of the near towns for their meal This
advice was very generally accepted. and
the manager was roundly scored for the
poor quality and limited variety of his
bill OF fare.
During the afternoon Louis Deloy OF
the Imperial Cycling Club OF San Fran

of wheelmen, when he was taken with
cramps and sunk to the bottom. Sup
