Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-spirlted races
marked every one of the six events de-
cided in the preliminaries to the thirty
fifth annual regatta of the National
association for amateur oarsmen held
over the Schuylkill river course this af-
ternoon. The regatta was more inter
national than national in character for
three different countries were repre-
scented, the United States, Canada and
Germany The Canadians were the
surprise of the regatta. They either
were placed or won every event in
which they competed. Jakes and Toms,
rowing for the Argonaut R. c., of To-
ronto, were easy victors in the senior
pair cared shells while Thompson and
Toms won just as easily in the inter-
mediate double SOULS In the associa-
ton single SOULS rowed in one heat
John O'Neill, of the Marys A. A. of
Halifax, was second to Durando Miller,
of the New York A. c. and w. Bowler
of the Don R. c., Toronto, was third.
To cap the climax the Argonauts SEN
Tor four cared crew made a runaway
race of this event, winning from the
Ravenwood B. C. of Long Island and
the Sewaihaka B. c. of Brooklyn. The
latter crew was a favorite even over
the Canadians and its defeat by both
the Argonauts and the Rlavenwood four
was big surprise.
The Mound City and Crescents, both
of st. Louis, were fourth and fifth.
Germany was represented in the re-
gatta by Waldemar Sand of the Hellas
R. c.. Berlin. The German rowed in
the second heat of the intermediate
singles but he was outclassed from
the start though in his favor it should
be said that he has been i'll several
days of this week.
There were only three starters in
the intermediate eight cared shell race
which was also rowed in one heat.
These were the Potomac r. c. of
Washington; the Fairmont R. c. of
this city, and the Arundels of Balti-

Used for Game Preserves

THE American wire fence has become es-
L sential to the breeders of fancy poultry,
game birds, pheasants, and other domestic
and wild birds. Game preserves are fenced in
by woven wire fences to the height of fifteen
and twenty feet. This keeps out dogs and
proving animals and prevents the fowls from
flying outside of the preserve. Upward of ten
thousand miles of woven wire fence have
been used for game preserves, and without
this invention the preservation of some of the
choicest domestic and wild fowls would be
impossible.
A barbed wire, closely woven high fence is
about the hardest thing for a poacher to get
through ever invented. He may be able to
scale stone wall, but he cannot creep through
Wire fence of this character, and as for climb
ing over it, the risk to his life is too great
When the first game preserve was fenced in by
a barbed wire fence to keep out poachers as
well as dogs and stray wild animals, it trapped
three persistent lawbreakers. The first tried
to climb the woven fence, and was caught near
the top so that he could not extricate himself
His body was found frozen to death two DAYS
later, dangling from the top strand of the
fence. The second managed to climb over,
but fell from the top and fractured leg He
was picked up unconscious the following day
by the Waterman. The third escaped, but
with such tattered and torn clothes and dozen
bad scratches on his body that he decided
never to repeat the operation.

Prevent a Lumber Famine

put primarily the fence question is one of
- peace and prosperity. The old wooden
fences made of rails ten to fifteen feet in length,
were picturesque features of farm life decade
or two ago; but the scarcity of wood makes this
impossible to-day. At the present rate of con-
structon of fences, it is estimated that to build
them all of wood would require nearly forty
per cent. of the total lumber output In the
course of dozen years there would be lum-
Der famine.
When the wire fence was first introduced,
farmers did not take kindly to it; neither did
the animals. A pugnacious bull found little
difficulty in butting his way through the fence,
swapping the soft iron wire like Irvine. The
barbed wire fence was then introduced, and
the vicious bull which ran up against it re-
ceived punishment that was not soon for
gotten But the barbed wire fence had it's
disadvantage. Valuable blooded stock were
injured so severely by the barbs that breeders
grew alarmed, and they discarded the new in
vention, going back to the old rail fence.
Then came the woven steel wire fence, made
SO strong and durable that the most vicious
bull could not butt it down, and without the
barbs it was not a menace to domestic stock.
The woven steel Wire fence was made in many
different sizes and strengths, and farmers
could obtain just what they needed for any
particular case. The modern boom in wire
fence then began, and it has steadily advanced,
until to-day it represents of the dozen
leading industries of the country.

wire fence telephone is further emphasized
by its use in the field. On farm consisting
of several hundred thousand acres, the dis
lance from the house to the workers in the
field may often be SO great as to make COM
munication by telephone important. A tenn
porary connection is made by using the fence
which runs across lots to the nearest point
Thus, the model farms of the West have in
some instances portable telephones which can
be carried into any part of the field ready
tor instant connection with the nearest fence
The farm manager thus gives orders to his men
in widely separate parts of the mammoth farm,
and saves many hours in journeying back and
forth.
The same is true with the cattle and sheep
herding companies The grazing lands are
being rapidly fenced in, and in order to be in
direct COMMUNICATION with the sheep herders
and cowboys the fences are used for telephone
communication. Many times herds of sheep
and f1ocks of cattle have been saved from de
struction by the prediction of weather in ad-
vance over the farm fence telephones. The ap-
proach of a blizzard can thus be predicted suf-
hc1ently IN advance to drive the sheep or cattle
to shelter

Easy Way to Catch Quai1s

I I is not often that wire fences are used as
bird traps but in Virginia where the quail
few years ago were very plentiful a farmer
made considerable in this way He had his
farm fenced in with close woven wire fence
He distributed food for the quail inside of his
inclosure A hard winter followed, and the
quail outside of the Enclosure sought in vain to
force their way through the fence They could
get their heads and part of their bodies through
but there they stuck, and some fell exhausted
at the foot of the fence. In one morning the
farmer gathered upward of one hundred auails
along the fence either dead or too exhausted
to fly away. After that he spread tempting
food just inside the fence beyond the reach Of
the birds, and nearly every morning walked
along the route of the fence to gather the
wild birds which had sought to steal his
grain.
The wars between the cattlemen and sheep
herders at one time resolved itself around the
Wire fence question. The opposition to the
fences by the cattlemen was so intense that the
themselves with powerful clippers, and made
midnight raids upon the fences. Armed bodies
of men often had to stand on guard all night
to keep the wire fences intact. But the fencing
of the West is now going on steadily and peace
fully. Not only are the farms, prairies, and
upland districts being inclosed by American
wire fences, but the forests and woodlands as
well. The fences in the latter are being used
for forest telephone fire alarms, and several
bad confagrations have been checked by
prompt notice of the danger. When the fire
alarm is given the forest fire fighters assemble
at given place which has previously been
decided upon and hurry in a body to the
scene of the outbreak.

the destinies of nations
of all the wire fence made in the world is of
enough produced in this country every month
America are using fifty thousand miles of fence
pair old fences. Our shipments of fence abroad
are sent to nearly every civilized country on
the globe.
1t was an American steel barbed wire fence
which both Russians and Japanese used to
protect their Notifications from sudden attack,
and both armies testified to its strength and
resisting qualities. Before the war broke out
an unusually large shipment of specially made
barbed wire fence made by way of the
Pacific Coast to the Orient, and only the manu-
facturers, who received the orders for par
ticularly large, sharp, and ugly barbs on the
fence, could have had any mixing of its ulti-
mate use. Subsequent experience demon
strated that tangle of barbed wire fence was
more formidable factor in resisting sudden
attack than a whole regiment of sharpshooters.
The modern army is always provided with
several hundred miles of barbed wire fence,
and also with wire clippers. The rate at which
a tangle of fence be strung up by regl-
ment measures to a certain extent its efficiency
in resisting night attack. complete set of
implements for planting posts and attaching
the wires is part of every army equipment.
The same men who put up the barbed wire
fence for defensive purposes are also charged
with the responsibility of cutting the enemys
fence. With long, powerful clippers score of
men can destroy the work of a night and render
the fence useless.

Telephones for the Farm

TIL E next stepin the development of the wire
L fence question was to use it for farm tee-
phone purposes. The upper strand of the wire
fence was first used in the State of Washington
as telephone wire, and since then it has been
employed for this purpose in half dozen more
States. Millions of acres of land are fenced in
with the wire fence, and sections of the country
can thus be tapped by the telephone companies
at little expense. By tapping the fence line
each farm house along route can be connected
without putting up poles and special wires
These wire fence lines prove more suitable in
the wilderness and prairie districts than special
wires strung from high poles. They are not so
liable to destruction by heavy wind storms and
snow and ice. They are drawn tight, and are
strung posts stationed every fifteen to
twenty feet.
The tapping of the telephone wire fences is
much easier, however, than the regular wires
strung on tall poles. The rural telephone COM
panies soon found that many farmers were
using the wires without paying for the service
Even portable telephone outfits were in some
cases used. If the farmer wished to telephone
he would carry his small transmitter and re-
ceiver to the nearest fence, make a temporary
connection, and call up central When through
