about entering the senate as he would
feel with some one IN the White

His general attitude has been adj

doing. He has said. however. that.

hat there would not be any occasion

necessarily stand in the way OF his

might relieve the situation Of embar-

Used Mud Telegraph TeIes.

What a writer calls the most orr
ginal telegraph line in the world" once
extended between the city OF La Paz,
the camtal of Bolivia, and the town OF
Oruro In this part Of Bolivia there
are no growing trees and wood is so
difficult to procure that even the ordin-
airy household furniture OF the natives
is invariably made, not OF wood. but
of dried mud, or adobe, as II is called.
When the war broke ont in 1880 be-
tween Chile and Bolivia this material
was used to construct pillars TO take
the place OF ordinary posts for sup
porting telegraph wire. with the add.
ton of old bottles as insulators. These
pillars were subsequently built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet sqSare at the base, with a
height OF about Is feet. They were
placed at intervals of about 361 feet
and thus held the wire at height suf-
ficient to clear the only animals OF the
country, the lama and donkey. The
total length Of the line was 1856 miles
and Il rendered useful service for
some ten years before being replaced
by wooden telegraph-poie line.
