BARB WIRE TELEPHONE LINE,
Two indiana Towns, Fifteen Miles
Apart, Suecessfully Connected.

Apart, Successfully Connected.
An Anderson, Ind, correspondent
writes: One Of the most novel tele-
phone systems in the world is the
"barbwire" line, which connects the
towns Of Anderson, Pendleton and In
gals. 1t is fifteen miles in length. Its
inventor, builder and sole owner, Cas-
sius Alley Of Pendleton, Ind, now has
six subscribers at $50 8 year each.
The time is not far distant when there
will be ten-fold this number. One
clothing company at Anderson with
branch stores at Pendleton, and the
Wagner Glass Works, with Offices at
Anderson and factory at ingalls,, are
using this barb-wire system in their
business affairs exclusively. They use
the line frequently. They can convert
1t into private line by plugs so ar
ranged that when one party Is using
The line he can cut out all others except
in Mr.. Alleys residence, which Is used
as central station. It is no exag-
geration to say that this barb-wire
telephone system is quite as satisfac-
tory as the copper circuit OF the Bell
Ordinary phones are used with no
special strength of battery and there
Is very little trouble with the lines
In constructing the line Mr.. Alley
used the top strand Of the barb-wire
fence of the Big Four railway, max
Ing the connections with the offices
OF his subscribers with ordinary teIe-
phone wire. In some instances where
the posts had rotted 1t was necessary
to paint the wire and posts with rub
ber paint to insulate the wire. The
whole line of fifteen miles was built
at o cost Of about $100, and the outfit
for each house, consisting of receiver,
transmitter, battery, call, ETC., costs
not over $40. The line has been in
operation since December 20, and has
not been out of order except for few
hours when a fast train on the rail-
way track struck cow, threw her
body against the fence and broke the
wire.

A Fino Natural lIarbor.

The finest natural harbor in Puerto
Rico Is at Jobos, ON the southeast

enough to accommodate ships Of any
draught, but 1t needs an improved en-

value Of Jobos harbor, 1t has strate-
gic importance not surpassed in this
part Of the world. It is perfectly shell
tered and screened. A naval feet sta
toned there might block any Euro
