When the electric telegraph was first introduced Into Chile. a stratagem was resorted to In order to guard the posts and wires against damage on the part of the natives and to maintain the con- nection between the strongholds on the frontier. There were at the time be- tween 40 and 50 captive Indians in the Chilean camp. General Pinto, in com mand of the operations, called them to- gether and, pointing to the telegraph wires, said:
 Do you see those wiresw
 "Yes, general"
 "I want you to remember not to go near or touch them. for if you do your hands will be held. and you will be un- able to get away"
 The Indians smiled incredulously. Then the general made them each In succession take hold of the wire at both ends of an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed:
 T command you to let go the wire"
 "I can'ti My hands are benumbedp' cried each Indian.
 The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict instructions to keep the secret. This had the de sired effect, for, as might be expected, | the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the telegraph remained un- molested

It becomes them to assemble before the presence of their Gracious Benefactor and to offer to Him their humble tribute of sincere thank fulness and praise for all His mercies.

The Professor's Escaped Bacteria.
 He was apparently an old man. wore large spectacles and carried small satchel. Across the satchel was label ed, Professor Redd. Chicago" He en- tered the waiting room of suburban station and deposited the satchel care lessly near the ice cooler. Suddenly those near saw the satchel fall and heard the sharp tinkle of breaking glass. The old man picked up the glass and muttered exclamations of distress.
 "'To think brought them all the way from Brazil" he said.
 What were they?" inquired some one in the sympathetic crowd.
 "Germsr'
 'WhatT'
 Bacteria of a strange Brazilian fe- yer"
 "Quick, manl Crush them with your footr'
 q can't, sir. They are now floating around in the air"
 There was a moment of horror. Then there was a rush, and little later the old man was the only occupant of the waiting room. A window was raised from the outside.
 "Just let them out easy, Pete" cau- toned a voice.
 And the bogus professor obeyed. Satchels, grips and cases went through the window. After he had finished col lecting the professor followed the booty. His false beard fell back in the room, but he did not attempt to reclaim 1t. The arrival of their train prompted those outside to venture in for their baggage. It had vanished, and the black beard told the tale. - Chicago News
