Quite a lot of materials have been
used for telegraph poles, but the idea
of stone for the purpose will be new
to NEST people. 1t is nevertheless u
tact that the messages between Milan
and Switzerland by way of the Simplon
Pass pass over a telegraph line with
stone poles. This line runs along the
military road which skirts the west
side of Lake Maggiore. The poles
are of gray granite, and average about
ten inches square and twenty-five feet
high
The English traveller who came
across this engineering curiosity was
told by telegraph officer that these
poles were in use for distance of
thirty or forty miles, and that theil
cost in position was about ten shilings
each. The quarries from which the
poles were cut are situated above the
town of Stresa Here and there along
the line, however, is seen wooden
pole, aud the wooden pole is usually
new. while the stone poles are invari
ably old. On seeking for an explana
ton of this suggestive fact the traveller
was informed that the renewals are
now made i'll wood, the principa
cause of dissatisfaction with the stone
poles being that they did not stan(
we'll against any transverse strai1
due to the pull exerted when tighten
ing the wires i OndOn Answers.
