USES OF THE TELEGRAPH.
Animals, Birds and Natives Turn
Poles and Wires to Account.

When the telegraph was introduced
into Norway the bears, on hearing the
wires moaning in the wind, thought
that the posts were beehives, and set
to work to root them out Of the
ground: the woodpeckers thought that
the poles We're filled with insects and
they bored holes in them with their
bills. Such illusions disappeared grad
ually: animals became wiser with time
and took the trouble to turn the tele-
graph to account for their personal
uses.
Thus, a small bird in Natal, which
had been wont to build it's nest shaped
like a cradle in the branches of q tree,
built its nest on the first telegraph
wire set uD, and the snake could not
get at it, The new position was found
to he so secure that the bird added a
convenient little side door to the nest,
which had hitherto possessed only a
small opening on the side farthest re
moved from the overhanging branch
A Brazilian bird also builds its heavy
nest Of earth on the telegraph wires
The artful parrots take seeming de.
light in uniting the currents between
different wires: and also IN breaking
the porcelain cups on which the wires
rest. Spiders cover the wires with
their webs. and thereby great confu-
sion is often wrought in the telegraph
system. as the most unlikely conrec-
tiOns are thus brought about. It is n
bird which knows how To turn the tele-
graph to the greatest use: this is the
lnelanerpes of Mexico. At thp foot Of
the post this bird makes I large hole,
in which it rears its family; somewhat
higher mp the post it makes m ohser-
Vatory, from which bNro,l hrleS permit
it to observe the horizon in every d.
recti0n; still higher this sagacious bird
makes it's storehcuse. and i?us the
pole serves as its house. fortress and
warehouse.
The savages have not. as a rule,
shown so much ingenuity in taking ad-
vantage of the presence of the tele-
graph, although they have in certain
cases turned it to account. Thus,
some of the Algerian tribes steal the
porcelain cuns and use them as coffee
cups: the wire, If of iron. is woven
into hedges; II ii Is Of copper It is
made into nose rings The wooden
poles can easily he made use Of in their
huts. and the iron hollow telegraph
poles serve as excellent pipes for con-
ductng water.

OLIVES AND OLIVE OIL.
Our Supplies Come Chiefly from
Snain and California.


although olives are now quite ex-
tensively grown in Southern California,
the bulk Of the edible fruit comes from
Spain, from which country there are
about 5000 casks of olives annually i'm
ported into the United States" said a
large importer of olives. "The fruit
varies in size from 210 to the nielo,
which is l-5 pounds, up to olives as
large as 60 or 70 to the nielo. Very few
olives are nowadays shipped here in
bottles. They come I'm casks and are
repacked by the importers in kegs or
fancy Jars and bottles for distribution
to the retail trade.
"The olive is very profitable fruit
to grow, inasmuch as an orchard of
well-deVeloped trees practically re-
quires little or no care. Its fruit can
be gathered and cared for by the most
simple and primitive means and the oil
and pickles easily kept and transport
ed. 1t is not known how long a good
olive tree will continue to bear fruit in
profitable quantities, but there are to-
day in Spain, Italy and France trees
bearing bountifully at the age of $50
years. The olive trees bears equally

furnish the finest fruit and richest oil.

THE consumption of olive oil in this

be unnecessary. We halted and fixed

stopping us. The first barrlcade was

had been overcome, we prepared to

left front, in a similar manner, but
Just then we received peremptory or
ders to withdraw; we had gotten ahead
at too rapid a gait; and we went re-
luctantly back to our former position.
Reassembling in fours we took up this
return march. and then I had the
most distinct shock Of any that I have
experienced during the campaign The
navy reopened fire, and a shell-a
shrapnel-seemingly as big as n
bucket. struck within fifty yards and
to right front Of the head of the coll
umn; exploding with a terrific crash

and bullets a path across our very
route. How we escaped for it was
right on top of us. shall never oven

For that matter the whole night had
been a period of great and good luck
in casualties. For during the first ad-
vance in column up that narrow sire at
