sARs-wIRe TELEPHONE LINE.
Three Towns in Indiana Connected by
Using Ordinary Fence Wires.


Three Towns in Indiana Connected by
Using Ordinary Fence Wires.
One Of the most novel telephone sys-
TENS in the world is the "barb-wire"

gals are using this barb-wire system in
their business affairs exclusively. They
use the line frequently. They can con-
vert 1t into a private line by plugs so
arranged that when one party Is using
the line he can cut out all others ex-
cept in Mr.. Alleys residence. which is
used as a central station. 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-wre
fence of the Big Four railroad, making
the connections with the Offices of his
subscribers with ordinary telephone
wire. In some instances where the
posts had rotted 1t was necessary to
paint the wire and posts with rubber
paint to insulate the wire. This is fairly
satisfactory and puts the line in shape
to be used as well in wet weather as at
any other time. The inventor expects
to put in newly invented form of glass
insulator, which is very cheap and the
only one yet found that can be used on
fence wire line.
On this line, wagon roads are crossed
thirty-seven times and railroads six
times. At these crossings the line is
either carried through a gas-pipe con-
duit. with insulated wire or by building
bridges, which is done by merely nail
lug a piece Of timber fifteen feet long
to the last fence post and extending
high enough to allow clearance for traf-
fic.

built at a cost of about $780, and the
outfit for each house, consisting of re-
ceiver, transmitter, battery, call, ETC.,
costs not over $40. The magnet bell
call is used.
This barb-wire line is connected with
the Independent long-distance tele-
tance telephone line at ingalls,, and in
this way indianapolis and Greenfield
may be reached by the users OF Mr..
Alleys system.
The line has been in operation since
December and has not been out of or

fast train on the railroad struck a COW,
threw her body against fence and
broke the wire. A telephone communi-
cation, by this simple method. is placed

OTTO Or BAVARIA.

Remarkable Story of the Insane Mon
arch and His First Love.
The following remarkable story is re-
lated about the unhappy King Otto of
Bavaria. This last week he ate almost
nothing for some days, although his ap-
petite is usually unnaturally good. He
sobbed, walled and screamed uninter-
ruptedly for hours, and even became at
times dangerous. One morning, how
ever, his physician and keeper eau
tiously pushed aside the heavy brocade
curtain which divides their bedroom
from that Of the poor monarch and
found him with tears running down his
cheeks, gazing into little silver case
which they had often seen in drawer.
the key to which King Otto wore on a
fine steel chain round his neck.
AS soon as the King perceived that
he was watched he turned round and
smiled so happily and naturally that
the doctor, surprised, stepped nearer.
Wearing the same joyful expression
the King cried out to him: Countess
l.. has passed a better night. She is
now out of danger" He then carefully
locked up the little silver box, which
contained nothing but a few dried
strawberries, and spent a very quiet
day. He also enjoyed his dinner again.
This is the other part of the story.
In 1867 there was merry picnic in a
wood Among the guests was the love-
ly seventeen-year-old Countess L., with
whom the young Prince fell madly in
love at first sight He sat next to her

Coin Saves His Life.

The other evening. while ON his way to
a party, at a point three miles in the
country south Of Milan, Ernest ID. Den
ton was held up by three men and rob-
bed. One man grabbed his horse and
two others covered him with revolvers.
He gave them what money he had, which
was a small amount. One of the robbers
spoke of taking his watch, when Denton
hit his horse with the whip and got away.
When the horse started the men shot
twice at him, one bullet going through
his coat sleeve. and the other striking a
coin in his vest pocket and glancing off.
This saved his life. A reward is offered
for the capture of the men.

he could initiate the grass by some
means he could elude the watchful SEN
tries and make good his escape.
Through the aid of his convict friends
he procured some pieces of burlap, and
with the aid of some rope made them
into a long coat that would cover him
completely when lying on the grass.
He then secured some wheat from the
prison stable and sowed 1t on the first
layer Of his coat. He cast ii down
carelessly at one end OF the prison
grounds, and watered 1t daily. In a
few weeks the grass grew up through
the sack coat. and before great while
the piece of burlap was conformed into
grassy lawn.
He was now ready to carry out his
plans. and patiently waited an oppor-
tunity. At last he succeeded in getting
his new contrivance across to the north
west of the prison. and in few min
utes was under his grassy coat.
Slowly he crept along with the clever
ness of a worm. and from all appear
ances success would crown his efforts.
But his progress was too rapid and
very soon he heard footsteps coming
in his direction. The moving grass plot
which was slowly making its way up
the hillside soon came to a sudden
standstill as the eye Of guard had no
ticed the grass moving and came to in
vestigate the phenomenon. A kick in
the ribs apprised Casey that his plan
had been discovered. The guard took
