The First Telegraph.

In these days of inventions 1t is in
teresting to look back and see what
small beginnings have brought about
great results. The first telegraph can
be traced to the school days Of three
French boys.
A well-known French astronomer,
Chappe d'Hauteroche, adopted his three
nephews, and when he was once set
ting out on scientific journey, he
placed the youngest one. who was de-
stined for the priesthood, in the clerical
seminary in Anglers. The two others
were sent to a school situated directly
opposite the seminary.
The three brothers were much at
tached to one another. and the young
est, Claude. who was in the seminary,
found 1t especially hard to do without
the others. They at least were to-
gether, but he was all alone, and he
was so seldom allowed outside of the
institution that he had but few chances
Of speaking to them. From his VIM
dow he could see theirs, and they de-
cided upon certain hours when they
were to meet in this way and converse
by signs. But, after all, that was a
very unsatisfactory means of commu-
nication. and Claude, who felt most
that necessity which is the mother of
Invention, could not rest until he had
found a better.
He experimental in all manner of
ways and finally decided in favor of
an apparatus consisting of long white
ruler turning on an axis in its center.
At each end was another ruler, likewise
turning on Its own axis With these
three he could make all manner of
figures.
He then sent his brothers an alpha
bet in which every letter was repre-
scented by one Of the figures taken by
the rulers, took his post in the window,
and began his operations-and great
was his joy when his brothers sent him
a messenger with the exact translation
Of his signs. There was soon a tele-
graph in their window also, and while
they were separated, throughout their
school days, the brothers talked to one

RATHER 4 FlZZlE.
Two North Augusta Boys In Court and Receive
Their Discharge.

The attention of the municipal court
was taken up, Saturday. for the great
er part of the day in trying a neighbor-
hood quarrel. The case in the morning
looked like a conviction but in the
afternoon the prisoners We're discharg-
ed because the governments chief wit
ness could not not tell a straight story
and vacillated between truth and fic-
ton so much that he could not be be-
lieved at all
1t appears that while the Augusta
Cadets were in camp one Royal Grover
rode down to camp on his wheel, one
evening. and left it at the mess tent.
While il was there the tires were pune
tured and blame was laid on Eugene
Tilson and Charles White. The chief
evidence was that of Arthur Rand.
who claimed at first that the prisoners
told that Grover was foolish and that
they ought to raise Ned with him.
They started out to find Growers
wheel although Grover testified that
Rand saw him when he left his wheel
at mess tent. Rand claimed that he
punctured the tires but was led to do
it by these boys talk about Grover. He
said in the afternoon that the prisoners
did not say anything about going af-
ter the wheel and as the prisoners de-
MED that they had been near the wheel
the only course was to dismiss the case
which was done. The Rand boy will
now be charged with the puncturing of
the wheel and will have to settle.

The Game Shipment Licenses
Soon to Be Issued.
Report Of Sweepstake Dairy Premiums
OF the Maine State Fair.
Some Of the Gossip Of the Departments
About the Capitol.

There is another kind of a license
that will have to be sent out very soon
from the office of the fish and game de-
partment. This is the transportation
license that is sent to the express
agents in all parts of the State They
sell the bits of paper, properly filled
out and the sportsman may, upon the
purchase of one of these, ship his quota
of game to his home without accom-
panying it himself. This is a privilege
that will be esteemed highly. as any
one may well believe. Before this Gus
tom was adopted the early sportsman
who wished to go into the woods and
hunt. and at the same time was de-
sirouS of showing the result of his
prowess to his friends, had to cut his
vacation short in case he was success
full in bagging his number of deer. He
must go home with them or allow
them to spoil on his hands.
BY purchasing the license he can
send the game home and stay behind
and enjoy communing with nature. and
watching someone else shoot the deer.
or if he has sent but one deer home,
he can look around for a second one
to complete his quota.
These licenses will be issued after
October I. the date when the law goes
off the deer

much the State is to receive from the

character of the soil was quite good.
rms concluded the testimony. and on
motion of Attorney Whitehouse for the
petitioners at II O'Clock an adjourn
ment was made till 2. NJ. in order
that the commissioners might inspect
the proposed road.
The commissioners did not return
from their inspection until O'Clock.
when the session was resumed and the
closing arguments made by counsel.
Eugene w. Whtehouse, for the
petitioners, argued that the new road
would give an easy outlet and inlet TO
the city of Augusta for a prosperous.
populous country: that it would be a
great benefit to the city and a matter
or convenience to many people resid-
ing in the suburbs. Mr. Whitehouse
made an able presentation of the case.
city Solicitor Thomas Leigh made a
strong and eloquent argument for the
remonstrants. Mr.. Leigh laid stress
on the statutory ground that com
mon necessity and public convenience"
did not demand the construction Of
the proposed road: that it would be
q bad precedent to establish to order a
ROAD built for few interested indi-
viduals and not for the general pub
lie.
The commission, which consisted of
Hon. Charles f. Johnson of Water
Vile, Frederic Danforth and j. W.
Bassett of Winslow. will consider the
case and make its report at the Octo-
Der term of the supreme court.
