CHILEAN srRArEoEM.

Indians Afraid to Molest Telegraph
wires or Poles
When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chile. a stratagem was
employed 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 fifty captive
Indians in the Chilean camp, and Gen
eral Pinto, in command of the opera
tions, called them together. and point
ing to the telegraph wires said: "Dc
you see those wires?" yes. General
well, want you to remember not tc
10 near or touch them, for II you dc
your hands will be held, and you Will
be unable to get away" The Indians
smiled incredulously. Then the general
made each of them In succession take
hold of the wire at both ends. and
then an electric battery was turned on
"Now," he exclaimed, II command you
to let 90 the wire!" II can't. my hands
are numbed!" cried each Indian. The
batte-y was then turned on. and the
next day all the captives were re-
stored to liberty. with strict instruc'
tions to keep the matter secret. Thif
had the desired effect, for, as might
be expected, the experience was re-
lated to every man in the tribe. ant
the telegraph has ever since remained
unmolested.

Bona was nothing but a rocky hill at
the bass of which stretched a great
nAssh. the prolaAo source Of tropical
fevers. A great change has been
wrought In the appearance and condi-
tions Of Bona. A number Of long
streets have been built over the hill.
This height has been dug down and
leveled so that It is no longer dimcult
TO reach it from the bank Of the river.
The marshes have been drained, beau
uful little parks now flourish, and the
Bona of today Is a smiling. nourishing
town. Piers extend out into the river
and vessels from Europe tie up at these
iron structures and discharge their
cargoss directly into the little cars that
are pulled by small steam engines
along the main street Of Bona. The
popularity of this steam tramway is
that 1t makes NO charge to any one who
desires to ride on it. The entire popu-
lace of Bona may travel between the
town and the river without paying q
cent. Passenger trains. however, run
only four times day. The man on
the street corner who desires to hail .
train must sometimes find 1t a rather
long time to wait. Though the pas
ssnger service Is so infreQuent the
trains are running about all the time.
for Bona is very busy place. and

tramway runs, is lined with stores
The cars carry goods from the steam
ers to the shops Of Royal avenue, or
palm oil and other native products
down to the wharves. At times. how
ever, when several days have elapsed
after the arrival of a steamer. there
may be no freightase business, but the
