Impossible to Talk During the Mid
die Of the Day Because
Of the Heat.

The telegraph and telephone
lines of the Belgian Congo region
show some peculiarities both in
the construction of the lines and
their operation, owing to the eli
mate and the character of the
country.
Where the lines run through the
forests, the wires are placed as
much as possible upon trees, and
in other cases upon iron poles,
says the Scientific American. The
wire, which is of phosphOr-brOnze,
is painted black, so as not to at
tract the attention of the natives,
who lay hands upon all the copper
they can find.
The other brilliant objects of
the line, such as the insulators, are
also painted black. A cutting 80
feet wide is made through the for
est for the line, so that there is
no risk Of fire or from falling
trees.
Besides the telegraph Offices of
LeopOldville, KwamOuth and
Coquithatville, there are nine tele-
phone offices and six cabins. The
latter are used for cOmmunicat.
ing with the steamboats, on the
river.
The first hours after sunset are
the best for telephoning, and it is
possible to telephone direct from
Matada to Kwamouth, or 3SC
miles. From the latter point to
BONA, or 40 miles, the voice is
still heard.
After ten a. m. the heat makes
it impossible to use the telephone
especially in the rainy season
This is due to the fact that a re
turn wire is not used, and the use
Of the earth return is accompanied
by great disturbance in the mid
die of the day.
J The greatest enemies of thu
telephone lines are the wild ami
mails. In the rainy season atmos
pheric discharges often strike the
wires, therefore the lines need t
be constantly inspected and re
paired.

"Nith none,' was the modest
reply.
Then why do you call yourself

or what?"
Il write anything and every
thing that occurs to me as likely
to be worth reading"
"Well, then, for whom or for
what do you write? You say you
are not connected with any paper

"Yes, sir, so I stated. l am an
unattached writer for the general
market"
"Just so. You write anything

eyes; if / saw a young lawyer
treating a respectable witness in a
very rude and disrespectful man

The court smiled audibly. The
Judge took the witness in hand for
a moment.
"How much do you think a scene
like this, for instance, ought to
bring if it were written up?"
at would depend upon the ac-
tors. If the lawyer were a person
of any note Or character, possibly
half a guinea or a guinea"
"What should you expect to re-

Of this particular instance?"
"About Is pence, your hOnOr?"
The young lawyer had no fur
ther questions to ask the witness.

RAISE INCUBATOR GATORS
6-owing the Reptiles Tor the Trade
Proves q Paying Industry
in Arkansas.

Matching alligatOrs is the latest
use to which incubators have been
put, Beginning with chickens,
ducks, geese and turkeys, the use
Of incubatOrs was extended to os-
triches and babies, and now a
manager of am alligator farm in
Arkansas has adopted the use of
mcubatOrs there, says the anna
teur naturalist, in the New York
Tribune.
An alligator is in its propagat-
ing habits between a fish and a
hen. 1t swims in the water like a
fish and lays eggs, but instead OF
laying them in the water it goes
out and makes a nest on the land
Ike a hen.
In this nest it lays % or 30 eggs,
and then trusts to the warm
weather to hatch them out. The
period Of incubation of alligator
eggs is not accurately known, but
it is approximately five weeks, or
a fortnight longer than chicken
eggs, or a week longer than duck
eggs.
Most Of the alligators Matched
at the alligator farms are sold in
their infancy for 81 apiece to Wis
itors from the north. As many al
ligators are raised to maturity as
the inclosed swamps and streams
Of the alligator farm will permit.
They are valuable for their hides,
which are used for bags, belts,
purses and like purposes.
The supply of alligatOrs is much
less than the demand, as the hide
hunters have killed off all they
could find, and there is as yet no
close season in the game for their
protection. Like the terrapin,
they are becoming extinct in their
wild state.
At the alligator farms no more
cid alligatOrs are kept than are
needed for breeding purposes.
Most of them are sold when a
month or six weeks old, and the
Others are killed at an early age,
when their hides are more pliable
and easily worked.
Alligator farming so far has
proved a profitable industry.

TO KEEP in HEALTHY TRIM
Physical Exercise Is Gaining in Pop
ularity Among Every Class
Of People,

Physical exercise is the fad Of
the hour, there is no denying that.
Despite the attractive healthful-
ness of natural outdoor ex-
ercise, like riding, skating and
walking, women are now join
ing classes in gymnasiums,
getting up fetching costumes
for their fad and pursuing
it with all the ardOr of which they
are capable. The results are
good, Of course, but the cost is
something with which to reckon,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
AS a sex we do not get sufi-
Gent exercise to keep us in good
trim. We are busy enough. for
that matter, but our emplOyments
tie us TO a chair. HOUsew0rk is
said to be the most healthful of all
work, because of it's diversity and
the necessary exercise that goes
with 1t, but the average woman
overdocs the thing; she tires her
self out many times because of
lack OF method in her work, and,
after all the Homework does more
harm than good.
A doctor never succeeds in con
vinclng patients that Incidence is
a foe to health. "If you won't
walk upstairs" he says, in desper-
alton, "waIk down for your liyer's
sake" and some ewfOllow his
advice. Elevators are a habit
like street cars. When you can
be transferred from your front
door to your place of bustiHss. you
never attempt to walk even a
block, but you do not c>give a
thought to the distance that
takes you to a car when your home
is not on the car line. Initial build.
ings elevators are a joy and com.
fort, but they ought nottO,be con
sidered for one or two. flights OF
stairs, except by those WHOSE bust
