This Man Was
Telephoned Through

There is only one man in the world who
has been telephoned through. He is
Torger O.. Enderson, Swede o. Rock
Dell, Olmstead County, MINI.
He held the ends OF a telephone wire
while people several miles away talked
through him. The electrical current
knocked him down, but he held bravsly
to the wires, and the remarkable expert
ment was a complete success. His per-
formance has attracted wide attention
among scientific men. Here is the first
account that Mr.. Enderson has ever writ
ten concerning it:
ITO the Editor: / believe that am the
only man in the world who was ever talked
through. 1t is strange experience and
one tn at l do not care to duplicate. Al
though it occurred very recently, it seems
to have attracted the attention of scient-
lists, and / have received number of in
quiries from them.
81 was getting ready to go and fix up
the telephone wire, which seemed to be
broken somewhere between Rock Dell and
Hayfeld. These two towns are seven
miles apart, and we could not get mes
sage through at all. The electricity would
not work or the wire was broken, or some
thing was wrong. and as nobody knew
what it was, we had to investigate. We
suspected it was broken wire, and SO J.
w. Lundale. the operator at Rock Dell,
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-07

far not single one has given out and
there has been no lapse of any kind from
lack of air.
Just at the inner rim of every wheel is
small brass cap which screws down over
an orifice intended for replacing a supply
OF air which might leak away OF course,
in time certain amount OF air is bound
to escape from pneumatic tire, and so q
blower is attached TO the little motor and
whenever the engineer thinks that the air
in the tires is getting low he connects tire
and motor, and, presto! the tire Is as firm
as the grasp OF an office holder upon
place under she Government.
On each side of the engine and secured
just beneath the footboard is a length OF
capped hose, which is to be used for hy-
drant connection if desired or coupled
to a regular line. The footboard itself
is made of solid oak and English oak is
proverbial for its lasting qualities. Eng
lishmen have never forgotten Friar Tuck
remark. that an oak stove was better than
riches, and when properly welded worth
much silver and gold.
The fittings of the engine, such as shown
the Illustration, are very complete and
equally attractive. There is something
which is in measure inspiring about fire
apparatus to most people, and this new
contrivaRce. althouga fashioned queerly
and seemingly, at first, clumsily, proves
upon closer inspection to have been con-
structed with view to utility from every
point.
The decorations. while hands ONE in
great degree, are not in the least gaudy,
but all combine to live the engine apso-
lutte harmony of appearance and to i'm
press the beholder with the idea that the
machine is made for service and nothing
else.
Several severe tests have been given the
machine and it has stood them all. The
Board of Fire Underwriters is carefully
considering the invention, with a
view of submitting an opinion re-
gar ing its usefulness, which will
probably decide whether or no,tne pneu-
matte wheeled fire engine is to succeed
in London what has until now been consid-
cred a matchless triumph of inventive
genius.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-07

amounts to something. In fact, it is a
little army in itself, for every one of the
natives employed is supposed to be COM
>petent and ready to fight if necessary.
Whenever it happens that the battery is
to be transported great dis tance the rail
road is used as an aid, If it can possibly be
made available. In such cases it is neces-
sary, OF course, to transport the elephants
by rail, and special cars have been made
for the purpose. These cars are in ap.
pearance like the ordinary coal car on an
American railroad, the sides being about
half the height of q atboxcar AT one end
of the car is small house IN appearance,
with one end omitted.
In this little house sits the manout or
attendant OF the elephant, who sees that
during the journey he does not become
frightened and has no opportunity OF in
juring himself. Over the rest of the car
there is o frame work. There are three
steel posts at each side. Running length
wise and attached 10 these are two Sec
tions of steel of about the size of the ordi-
nary pine board.
At the end, blocking up an opportunity
OF egress, are two small steel beams of the
size of the scantling. From the highest
of the sections of steel on the side rises
thin piece OF steel to height which car
RES it just clear of the elephant. Running
from the top of these small pieces OF steel
in the form of the letter Y is another ste ell
section, and the whole prevents the ele-
phant from rising or sitting down. He
must either lie down entirely or stand up
straight.
Straight across the car and attached TO
the 10 wer section of steel on the sides is a
big beam that keeps the elephant from
being thrown against the end Of the car
by sudden jolt Entrance and exit from
the car are made by means of a heavy
platform. In this way the elephant is
able to move by means of the railroad
from place to place without fear of injury.
The accompanying illustration shows an
elephant battery drawn up at review in
full marching order, the elephants carry
ing the field equipment, and the bullocks
and train, all ranged in close order. 1t
also shows a battery drawn up for drill.

feel just very little bit like felt when
was holding those broken wires. Besides
the pains in my chest and in my arms I
felt just as ii omebody was pricklng me
little all over, and then as if in some way
or.other they had been able to grab hold
of my nerves and give them little pulls.
Il am not at all nervous and it takes
good deal to startle me, so was not scared
at all while these things have written
about were going on. It never SCENE ed to
me that as long as you were careful there
was any danger in letting little elec-
tricity into you. 1t all depends how you
do it. thought of all those things when
/ was holding these wires. When it came
so fast that it knocked me to the ground
] thought it was getting sort OF strong. but
did not feel there was any reason for me
to be frightened. T. 0. ENDsRsoN."
Mr.. Enderson's experience was certainly
most remarkable. That he was able to
endure the continued shocks and be none
the worse for acting as conductor for
tremendous current of electricity falls
little short of the marvellous. 1t is no
exaggeration 10, say that nlnety-nine per-
sons out of 100 wouli have nearly died,
had they grasped the ends of the broken
wires. These wires were not exactly what
are known as live, when broken, bu. i'm
mediately the connection was formed and
the telephone put into use they practically
became so.
TIE facts stated-an. there Is no ques-
.tion about their accuracy-dispel some
greatly cherished theories. In otter
words, no one knows exactly how much
electricity man can stand without pro-
ducing death.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-07

asked me to go out and find the trouble.
If it was broken wire, he said. he wanted
me when got the place to take hold Of the
two ends, so that he could send a message
through me.
"You see, he wanted me to be the con-
nection between the two broken ends OF
the wire. You know, when you talk
through the telephone, it amt the sound
wave from your voice that goes over the
wire, but it is an electrical vibration. So
it was this electrical vibration that was
to so through me. l was afraid to try
it, but Lundale told me that there
would not be any danger at all, and so 1

tight in the same manner as the shaft
holes are kept from flooding the ship,
there is no reason why a ship cannot
steam head on to an enemy and sink
her without firing a shot above the water
line.
A single shot fired from the submarine
gun can easily pierce the unarmored por-
ton of the hull beneath the water and
sink the ship before those aboard are
aware that they have sustained any in
Jury. Torpedo boats, thus fitted, ian be
made much more effective, as submarine
shot, as has peen demonstrated by the
target and the boiler plate, can pierce any
ordinary torpedo guard, and at the same
time have sufficient force to cause fatal
damage to an enemy's ship.
As means of coast defense also these
submarine batteries will be far and away
in advance Of the present system of mines
and torpedoes. A battery sunk beneath
the surface can be aimed at different ele.
yations, and there is almost no limit to
the damage a submarine battery could do
among the unpro tected hulls of an invad-
ing fleet.

of bulocks. There was, however, no end
of trouble with these beasts. TAey were
hard to control, and so many of them
were required that they proved good
deal OF a nuisance. So it is that the Brit
ish artilleryman rejoices at the substitu-
ton of the elephant for the bullock One
elephant will draw without effort a piece
of artillery which long line of bulocks
would have difficulty in moving at all.
Every one of these heavy batteries
which the elephant moves from place to
place consists OF four forty Founders and
TWO six and three inch howitZers. While
one elephant can draw, if necessary, q
single piece of artillery, in order not 10
strain him at all they are sometimes
paired or driven tandem. For instance
in such battery as the one just de-
scrioed twelve elephants are utilized.
These are not all employed in drawing
the artillery at the same time, for it is
well not to work an elephant too hard,
because If that is done he is apt to become
stubborn, despite his usual tractabiliiy
For this reason the elephants are given
kindly usage, and under those circum-
stances do all that is asked of them.
lie eIeDHdHI DdileTy, VI IdtucT TIE guns
thereof, is always accompanied by ammu-
milton wagons and baggage. Owing to the
fact that the supply of properly trained ele-
plants is limited, bullocks are still utilized
as the beasts OF draught for the battery
accom- pa niments. The fact that 262
bullocks are required to draw the ammu-
milton and baggage forms striking con-
irast between their powers and those of
the elephants, for the gross weight of the
ammunition and the baggage is infinitely
less than that of the artillery itself.
The British artillerymen do not attem pt
to manage the big beasts that draw the
g uns. To accomplish this task there is
employ yed a staff OF twelve mahouts, with
twelve assistants, the latter being under
the command d of an official known as iem-
adar, or captain. AL are natives of India.
Then, besides the elephant company, as it
is called. there are with each battery
jemadar SIX sirdars and 13l drivers who
care for the bullocks. Therefore, it can
be seen that battery of artillery in India

experiment had been a SUCCESS. At the
next low tide an examination was made
of the sunken vessel, when it was found
that the hull had been pierced completely
through by the solid shot. The target
was In splinters. The three-inch boiler
plate was in fragments and portions of it
driven into the woodwork of the hull,
while on both sides of the hull below the
water line were two huge jagged holes big
enough to sink ship of the line in five
minules.
No one was more surprised at the un-
expected results than the experts who
witnessed the tests. They had expected

The Great Elephant 4ptillepy Of India
Nether Nire Nor Baicade Prove Lasting Obstacles the
Progress Of the Tremendous Beasts

~ HE elephant has become one of the
EE most important adjuncts of the
JESG English army in India. He is at
tached to the artillery in every sense of
the word aad drags the biggest guns as if
they were feathers, keeping a steady pace
with the tramp, tramp, tramp OF the in
fantry. He is no laggard at any time and
deep indeed must be the mire and high
the barricade which he cannot walk
through or demolish. In one respect the
elephant in artillery is like Napoleon-he
never knows defeat.
The officers and men of the Indian army
have for years been working with the idea
of making the elephant more and more
useful. At first the big beast was used on
the fOrtihcatioDs for hauling timber and
all kinds of tasks for which great strength
absolute obedience and docility were re-
quired. The elephant is not a particularly
intelligent beast and therefore his prog
ress has been slow along the lines laid
down by the disciples of Mars, Now he
knows as we'll what to do as the best
posted arilleryman and will bring his gun
10 the regimental front with as much pre-
cision as the veriest martinez who wields
the sword could desire.
To gain an accurate idea of the elephant
in service with the artillery glance at
the accompanying illustration is helpful.
He is shown at rest and on parade, and
to all appearances realizes as we'll as the
mahour, who perches upon the giant
head, that he is or view and must look
his best and stand as straight as the ranks
ii front of him. Every body who knows
anything about the elephant is aware ofthe
fact that when excited he is in the nature
of terror. oddly enough, however, the
trained elephant rarely gets into that
state of mind. With the knowledge he
gains seem to come the power to control
him self and to do his duty as best he can.
The particular use TO which the ele-
phant is put in the artillery line in India
is as beas Of draught for the heavy bat
teries and the guns of the siege trains.
These instruments of war are tremendous
in size and exceedingly heavy. Until the

country road. These wheels are geared
precisely like anv other wheel, their only
popularity being in point of material and
construction.
Contrary to supposition, the wheels, so
far as it has been able sto demonstrate
with experiment, show no signs of great
wear. One would naturally think that
such tremendous weight as this fire en-
CINE upon rubber would be apt to make
the yielding substance tear and be lacer-
ated.
This is not the case at all. On the con-
trary. the wheels show after several trips
little sign of having been in use at all. So

DEATHS DOINGS !.
Two of Yale's Citizens Are Taken
Away and Their Loss is Deep
ly MouTned.

Geo. w. Warning, who departed this
life at his home on Bettes street in
the village of Yale, Saturday after
noon, October =, at two o'clock, was
born in Oakland county, Michigan,
June Odd, 1896, and was a son of Wells
and Philida Waring who were early
settlers of this state. He spent his
early years and grew to manhood in
Oakland County where he engaged in
running a stage line.
October 2Sth, 1859, he was married
to Miss Zelda Hovey, of Lapeer
county, and in 1872 Mr.. and Mrs.
Warning moved to Brockway Centre
now Yale. Mr.. Waring has since
been engaged in the mercantile bust
ness and staging. At the time of his
death he was member of the firm of
A. j. Ward Il Co.
A few years ago Mr.. Warning was
elected president of the village and
made very efficient officer. In his
business career he was always found
honest and upright and was respected
by every citizen of Yale.
Mr.. Warning leaves wife and scores
of friends TO mourn the departure of q
kind and devoted husband. worthy
friend and neighbor.
The funeral service was held from
the NJ. T.. church in Yale, of which
deceased was a consistent member, to
Elmwood cemetery on Tuesday fore
noon at 10 O'clock where the remains
were laid to rest Rev. Saigon preach
ed the sermon. The business houses
of the village were closed during the
services to give all a chance to attend
the funeral.

ford at Saginaw, February oath, 1891,
and died in Yale. October End, 1897
The remains were taken to Bay City
Saturday evening and the funeral was
held from the residence of deceased's
brother, John L., at Col Sheridan Ave-,
October 18th, at o'clock p. IN. n large
number of relatives and friends from
Saginaw and Bay City were present to
pay their last respects to one whom
they dearly loved. Mrs. Hungerford
was kind mother, loving and devo-
ted wife, and her loss will be mourned
by all who knew her. Although having
lived in Yale but a short time she
made many friends who deeply regret
the loss of one SO kind and atfectionate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hungerford lived very
happily together, each sharing the 9th
er's trials and troubles, but they always
had hopes that whatever might happen
it was for the best. Mr.. Hungerford
has many warm friends in Yale all of
whom sympathize with him in his sad
bereavement.
