A Peculiar Incident That led 20 the In
vention Of the Telephone.

NemMon OF Nito AeAeNNouos
It is not common knowledge, except
70 those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the FIRST telephone
was constructed ia Bacine, Wis, and
that tho inventor, DR.. s. D. Cushman,
is snow resident Of Chicago. His Offices
are IN the Stock Exchange building
Here tho venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines in this part Of
the ''far west, pursues HIS business
with more alertness in affairs than the
average yOung man.
In a corner Of the room Is a largo,
worn piece of muslin, on which is
painted in thin color a representation Of
a telegraph line stretching away in the
Distance, connected with a crude instru-
mentset on two logs, near which frog
is sitting by stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line Of "good
cedar posts" which Dr. 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 a 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 1881, 20 years be-
fore the Bell patents were taken out It
is a small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing a mechanism ON
the same principle as that Of the modern
transmitter.
In 1861 Dr. Cushman undertook the
construction Of a lightning arrester, his
object being to take the lightning that
struck tho wire and run it into tho
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that it would not interfere with
tho 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 a triple
magnet, with a sheet of thin iron at
! the poles, similar in construction to q
modern receiver. f" 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 permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
a slmiln deVlce 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 crosking Of frogs
was heard 10 miles away. This is the
explanation Of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and the
croaling frog is identified with the dis
covery of the telephone.
DR.. Cushman is the inventor Of the
FIRE alarm system in use in Chicago. bis
patent Office reports, he says, would
weigh ton" and contain a great num-
Der Of his electrical patents. Chicago

The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigatod the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about s or per cent
Of the total heat value Of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1909 degrees Of heat, or heat units
not degrees Of tcmperature-to change
one pound Of water into steam, while
during the absorption Of this amount Of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount Of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
Of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water ia being transferred into steam
-212 degrees are apparent upon @ ther-
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make MP the /, 1902 degrees above men

Suit tn Have Them Set Aside on the
Ground of Fraud.
MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. w. w. Erwin, ,
attorney for Harry T. Hayward, some
time ago made claim in writing tor
Harry against the insurance companies
having policies upon the life of Cath
arine Cling. in which he claims tho
SO. 600 Oh the policies as due Hayward,
as they were designated rs collateral
for the notes amounting to $500,
which Harry held, signed by Miss
Cling. AS soon as this was known to
the heirs they at once took action, after
consulting with their local counsel,
William Henry Eustis. Through his
advice they had let the claim rest,
leaving It to Hayward to think the
matter over to see if he would not give
up any claim to the money. Game to
the last, however, Hayward insisted
that the money belonged to him, so as
last resort the heirs resolved to fight.
Went to the Fountain Head.
Mr.. Eustis at once went right at the
fountain head of matters. Instead OF
making claim on the policies and su
ing for their collection, claiming that
the assignment was illegal and void be
cause OF fraud, they, by their attorney
have begun a suit to set aside as nul
and void the notes which the insurance
policies secure, on the ground Of fraud
The action sets up the complaint which
is familiar with the public, that the
notes were procured through false rep
resentations, and are the result of ,
system Of frauds, and upon this issue
the casa will be tried at the next tern

He Considers 1t imperative
) That They Be Kept on
the Reservation.

GREEN RIVER, Wy, Aug. 17--In.
dian Agent Teter makes the following
report to the commissioner of Indian
affairs:
Certain Indians make the assertion
they will go to Jackson Hole for hunt
ing, as soon as the haying season is
over, claiming that they will starve
during the winter if they do not kill
game at this time for winter subsis-
tence, and that they have right to
hunt in Jackson Hole. In my opinion
it is absolutely necessary to keep the
Indians on the reservation, even if
they are justified in going to Jackson
Hole. As they seem determined to
have revenge upon the set
tiers, they will go prepared
for that purpose and are discussing
plans to that end. The best solution
can see at present is to enter into the
contract for the big ditch OH the reser-
Sation which will give the Indians
employment and an opportunity to earn
money with which to provide for
themselves through the winter The
Indians must be given employment or
increased rations, as they cannot sub
sist without food obtained from hunt
ing until water is put on the reserva-
tion, when they will be practically self
supporting. Will request you to wire
what can state to Indians relative to
increased rations or employment, should
hey remain on reservation.
