TALL TELEPHONE POLE.
One in Washington 12e Feet High Is a
Single Stick OF Fir.

One of the tallcst telephone poles in
the world is where the wires of the Pa
cific States Telephone company cross the
Chehalis river near Aberdeen, Wash.
For some years past Il pole 80 feet
high was sufficient to keep the wires
clear of river craft. But the increasing
passage of ocean steamers made Il higher
pole necessary and Il new one 126 feet
high was set up. This pole is one single
stick of Washington fir, Is inches at the
butt and $ inches at the top. The pole
weighs 5000 pounds.
The stick was cut at Il point twelve
miles distant and towed down the river,
where it was erected by six men using a
twelve horsepower hosting engine. The
American Telephone Journal says that
for making attachment to the pole and
moving it a tive-eighths inch steel cable
was employed, run through ten inch steel
blocks.
The pcle was set twelve feet in the
ground and guyed with four steel
stranded wires ut the top, and also guyed
about forty feet from the top with four
fve-sixteenths inch stranded wires. The
guys are fastened to dead men set in the
ground to depth of eight feet. These
dead men are of cedar SXS inches i'll sec
ton ard I feet long.

Best sizes of Trees 10 Plant.

We have always had the best success

not favorable, following the transplant

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be de-
velOped In Iowa, for the authorities at
the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar Will be made from them by
a process even more simple than that
required to make 1t from beets. kXper-
iments have resulted in the production
OF species Of pumpkin which contains
per cent of sugar, and it is the pre-
diction that in three years the sugar
element will be increased to 70 per cent.
This is equal to the quantity of sugar
found In the best variety of sugar beet.
because pumpkins are easily raised and
a tonnage may be produced to the acre
which will exceed that of sugar beets,
the new sugar pumpkin will open up 4
valuable field for the Iowa farmers.
The pumpkins may be planted in the
cornfields and the same soil which will
produce corn may he made to produce

SEND BOMB IN A LETTER.
Deadly Art Finds Means of Most Con-

So expert are bonlbmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries TO open it. A
piece of cardboard is cut to n size which,
when folded over. will fit into an ordi-

and the sheet is folded and fastened to-
gether, Projecting from each side of the
folded sheet is little metal strip, or

such manner that the envelope cannot
be opened without striking one of them.
Upon meeting this slight resistance the
hand moving the paper cutter instantly
pushes harder. and the result is an eX-
