To examine in full these ruins would
be an almost endless task, for they are
said TO be twenty-five miles in length,
which would make a city larger than
New York. 1t is plain, says Mr.. Mands-
lay, that for miles along the Tobasco

buildings are visible.
Everything about the ruins an

TELEPH0NED THROUGH.


There is only one man in the world
who has been telephoned through. He
is Torger O. anderson, a Swede of
Rock Dell, Olmsted county, Mimi, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
He held the ends Of a telephone wire
while people several miles away talked
through him. The electric current
knocked him down, but he held brave
ly to the wires, and the remarkable
experiment was a complete success.
His performance has attracted wide
attention among scientific men, Here
is the first account that Mr.. anderson
has ever written concerning it:
ITO the Editor-I believe that 1 am
the only man in the world who was

experience, and one that I do not care
to duplicate. Although it occurred
very recently, it seems to have at

from them.
Il was getting ready to go and fix
up the telephone wire which seemed
to be broken somewhere between Rock

that they could use their own pleasure
about retiring to the barn.
Booth and Harold ate supper in the house

it from the outside. Booth and Harold had
spread their blankets on a Pile Of hay and
they were already asleep.

they wanted were in the barn. They went
to the barn and found that Booth and Har-
old were both already awake. An oficer de-
manded that they should instantly surrender.
Booth replied defantly, but Harold did not
say word. The officer then ordered me to

Several years after the war my brother
Baynham Garrett, wrote to Edwin Booth and

unfortunate brothers hair, and asked him
If he would like 70 have 1t. Edwin Booth re-
piled at once that he would prize the lock

members of the Garrett family would kindly
inform him of anything OF interest connected
with his brothers. death. Thereupon a long
correspondence ensued between the actor
