From the Chicago Chronicle
In this age of cheap application of cleo
trical science to human need one is not
surprised at the rapid extension of tele-
phonic communication in the smaller towns
and even villages of the country. Nor can
we really affect surprise when we learn
that the boon of cheap telephone ex-
changes is in a fair way of being extended
In the purely rural districts. We are al
ready Informed that in central Kansas
there arc number Of ranches connected
by telephone with one another. enabling
the owners and their families to enjoy in
innate communication fer both social and
business purposes.
The Kansas plan Is to- utilize the little
railroad station in the vicinity of farm
ing district as the Central office and to
connect the various, farm houses by cheap
wiring. in many cases the barb wire fences
being used for this purpose. There is nc
insulation, the only; care, taken being to sec
that there are no. broken fences and to
carry the wires acgass the roads by means

Water Hyacinths and Drainage.

From the New York Post.
A new danger threatens from the preva-

rivers. Many of the larger towns in the
state have their sewer outlets in the rivers,
and the plants check the passage OF the
sewage to the sea, giving rise to fears that
this may result in malarial troubles, or
worse. While the people might have pa

Eating on the Railway.

From the Railway and Engineering Review.
If railroads catered less to the wealthy
classes and endeavored to furnish better
accommodations to people OF moderate
means at reasonable prices there might
be more of disposition on the part of
the public to regard such corporations I'm
a spirit of fairness than is at present APP
parent. Matters of this kind, although of
rather minor importance. might go a long
way toward softening some of the I'M
pleasant relations existing between citizen
and corporation and the averting OF vast
amount of useless agitation over supposed
grievances.

the Duke OF Tetuan.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O-The state de.
partment has not yet been notified OF
the reported revolutionary outbreak
in Nicaragua. The uprising is not un.
expected, as there has been much hos
tility among the conservative party to
President Zelayas retention of the
presidency beyond February next,
when his first term expires. Grenada,
the seat of the reported uprising. is
the chief city of Nicaragua, and the
center of the conservative party. 1t is
said to have strategic strength. as
1t controls all the Nicaragua
canal country, including Greytown,
the Atlantic entrance to the canal. and
also controls the cable which connects
Nicaragua with the outside world. Ac-
cord!ng to the union recently effected
by Nicaragua Honduras and Salvador,
under the name OF the Greater Repub-
lie Of Central America. the military
forces OF the combined states will be
available to suppress the outbreak, but
some doubt is expressed as to whether

just signifed its assent to the invita-
ton from the United States to send
representatives to attend this confer
ence, in recognition of Japans interest
in the North Pacific sealeries.
United States Minister Woodford has
reported to the state department the
fact that he had conference with the
duke of Tctuan Sunday in Madrid. AL
though no information respecting the
nature of Mr.. Woodfords report can
be obtained at the state department. it
is believed that his representations
were rather preliminary in nature and
intended to prepare the foundation up
on which the minister is to base his

Acting upon the request of the sec

the box kite as means of observing

the purpose of long distance signal

with Prof. Otto Chanaute, the well
known engineer of Chicago. The idea
is to build series of box kites for the
purpose of elevating observers to great
heights. The advantage of the device
is that it will withstand the vio-
lent surgings of air currents and be
rendered more safe by them.
