Poles 22 or 25 feet long of any good stock. cut when green, should be used. Chestnut and cedar are particularly desirable on account of their lasting quality. The poles should be reason ably straight and we'll proportioned. The diameter of the top of the pole should be about five or six inches. In order to prolong the life of the poles and add to their attractiveness all the bark should be removed, knots trim- med close and the butt squared. The top of the poles should be rooted as shown in Fig. 1.
 Where only one or two line wires are to be mounted on the poles, oak brackets fitted with glass insu- lators are fastened to the pole as in- dicated in Fig. for straight lines, or as shown in Fig. at curves. The brackets should be attached to the poleA before the poles are raised.
 Poles of 22 or 25 foot length should be set at least four feet in the ground. Along straight lines the poles should be spaced fr0 feet apart, or about 30 poles DOT mile. The post holes should be large enough to admit the poles without 'stabbing or hewing and should be full size at the bottom.
 After the pole Is placed in position. the easth must be well tamped as the onDa. c alled. Soil should then be

out 50 or 60 feet further from land. They struck out for shore. but, not being ex- pert swimmers and having been swim ming for some time in fairly rough water, found themselves unable to make headway against the current. Swim as they would they could get no nearer shore One of them, a young married woman. kept her head, but shouted for help; the other, 8 girl of about 20. became excited, screamed, fought the waves and sank.
 Nearer the shore was a little, blue- eyed high school girl not an expert swim mer, but quite at home in the water. She happened to notice the younger girls face, which was pale as death and stamped with a look of terror. Realizing at once what was the. matter, the high school girl breasted the waves and made for the drowning woman.
 Now, don't grab me- she said gently as she reached her; just put your hand on my shoulder and l will get you in all right"
 She kept far enough away to make cer- tain that she would not be grabbed. D The other girl had sense enough to obey instructions. he placed her hand on her rescuers shoulder; the school girl watched the waves, rode in on them as they followed each other, and when she reached where she thought 1t shallow enough freed herself from her charge. gave the girl push as big wave came and saw her thrown upon the beach where there was plenty of people to help her to dry land.
 Then the cool little school girl swan back to the married woman. whose plight she had seen as soon as she swam out. She saved her in precisely the same man. ner. making her put her hand on her shoulder. swimming in on the waves with her and giving her the final push that sent her up on the beach.
 This was not a very big thing to do; it was no Carnegie medal rescue" but all the same, if this little girl had not known just what to do and had not had a head cool enough to do 1t, two young women would almost certainly have lost their lives. For the thunder of the waves drowned the sound of their cries for help,

they should be concealed. When its impossible to conceal the wires they should be run along the door or win- dow casing against the plaster, under the picture molding or in the groove at the top of the base-board. When it is necessary to install these wires in cellars or attics, care should be taken to avoid the possibility of dam age from mechanical sources. Wet and damp localities should be avoided for all inside wiring.
 When 1t Is necessary to cross pipes or other conducting materials. the wires should be protected by tubing or two wrappings of insulating tape. The tubing or tape should project at least one inch each side of the pipe or conducting material. Whenever practicable, the wires should be run above all pipes or conducting mate rial that it is necessary for them to cross.
 When necessary, the wires within the building may be spliced and sold- cred In splicing wires, resin should be used as a Aux for the solder. Joints must be soldered and carefully wrap ped with insulating tape.

There is so much interest In this section in the construction of far mers' telephone lines, that detailed in- formation as to the method of build ing such lines and the cost will prove valuable and instructive to the far mers who are contemplating falling in line with the progress of the day and installing telephones in their homes.
 By most people the telephone has been looked upon as complicated mechanism which only experts can install and operate. To a large ex- tent. this is true of a city system, but fortunately a rural telephone system Is extremely simple. This is demon strated by the fact that farmers in all sections of the South are building tel ephone lines and installing telephones in their homes. The work Is done largely by the farmers themselves, and the lines are we'll constructed and maintained at small cost.
 The building of a telephone line comprises three distinct operations:
 1-Constructing line.
 2-Installing telephone instruments
 2-Connecting telephone instru- ments with the line.
 Constructing the Line.
 Before arrangements are made for building the telephone line choice should be made between a grounded and & metallic system. In the grounded system, Fig. 1, only one line wire, a, Is necessary, and each of the telephones, b, c. etc, has one wire, m, connected to line and one wire, n, to Around. This system gives good re- suits If properly installed and there are no electric light, power or troll ley wires in the vicinity; otherwise there is likely to be much objection able humming and buzzing in the re- ceivera.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-06

serve as well as the ground connec- ton of the telephone in grounded system, can be obtained by soldering the ground wire to the top of an iron rod five or six feet long and one-half inch in diameter, driven into perma- nently damp earth.
 Batteries.
 Three cells of Improved Blue Bell dry battery should be connected to- gether as shown in Fig. IT, and placed in the lower part of the telephone set. The wires, m and n, in the telephone set must then be connected with the battery as shown in Fig. IS.
 Matrial For Main Line.
 To afford an idea of what is re- quired to build telephone line, we have listed below the material needed for each mile of line.
 Case 1. When the line Is not to be more than twelve miles long
 If a grounded" one-wire line is put up there will be required for each mile:
 s6 pounds of No. IA B. B. galvan- ized telephone wire. e
 80 No. g pony glass insulators.

Rabbit In a New Role.

From the Washington Post.
 The truculent and ferocious character of the rabbit when encountered by man is too well established by numerous we'll attested instances of mans rout, discom- fiture, and flight to require further proof of discussion While no one will question this, it has been universally supposed that if brought In contact with other anil mals the rabbit remained the most con- spicuous of the entire tribe.
 Now comes evidence from our neighbor on the north which compels the convic- tion that the rabbit may become as dreaded and dangerous to quadrupeds as he has already shown himself to be to numerous bipeds. A Canadian authority relates that veterinary surgeon living at Woodstock, Ontario. is the owner of fighting gray rabbit who began his pug nacious career by a successful scrap with billy goat--no mean antagonist. The goat attempted to drive the rabbit out of the farmyard, but was turned upon with such fire and fury that he soon fled him. self, crippled for life. Shortly afterward the rabit run up against a consequential and presumptious tomcat. which he speedily routed in a single combat full of animated pinwheels and terrified cater wauling.
 These two achievements gave the rab- bit such an exalted opinion of himself that in little while he had fought his way to undisputed supremacy In the barnyard Dogs. sheep. gobblers, and roosters all acknowledged his sway and kept at a respectful distance. His career of conquest eliminated in the overthrow of fierce bulldog who showed dispo- sition to take liberties with him. He has adopted Napoleon's motto. 'Toujours raudace.'' and his signal success seems to be due to the fact that he always takes the initiative and does 1t with suddenness and vigor that disconcert the ooldest and strongest. We await with interest further accounts of the feats of this champion.

Details of the method of tying, splicing and dead-ending iron line wire are shown in Fig. g. They are tied to the insulators as shown at A; spliced together as shown at B; and dead-ended or terminated at an insu- lator as indicated at c. In tying a line wire to an insulator the tie wire should be of the same size and ma terial as the line wires and should be about 20 inches long. All joints or. splices should be soldered.
 When a branch line Is connected to the main line or when connection is made between the main line and house by means of a drop line the branch or drop or wires should be dead ended on separate insulators and their ends left long enough to be con- nected to the line wires as shown in Fig. 10
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-06

In the metallic system. Fig. 9. there are two line wires. and o, to which each of the telephones, b, c, etc., is connected by the wires, m and n. This is the better system and should be adopted whenever the company can afford it. Whenever the line is built in the neighborhood of electric light, power or trolley wires. metallic sys- tenn has to be used in order to get quiet lines and clear talking. Its only disadvantage is the cost of the extra wire, brackets. etc. This extra cost, however, is slight. amounting to but four or five dollars per mile.
 Route of the Line.
 Tho line should run past or near by the buildings in which the tele- phones are to be placed. It is not necessary to run the main line past each of these buildings, as branch wires can be run from the main line to the buildings and thus save wire and simplify the construction. Ref erence to Fig. 8, in which c, e, etc., represent the buildings to be connect ed, mn the main line and A and T the branch wires. will make this point cleaxs

The protectors should be mount ed upon the wall where the line wires enter the building. Ali the inside wiring and the building itself are thus protected. The protector should not be exposed to water or damp ness, but should be conveniently placed for inspection. In localities where there are no electric light or power wires, the lightning protector shown in Fig. 12 should be used. If there is danger of the line becoming crossed with lighting or power circuits as well as danger from lightning, the protector in Fig. 13 is recommended.

 Installing the Instruments.
 A wall telephone set should be se- curely fastened to the wall by No. 8 screws. To fasten the set to a brick, cement or stone wall, holes should first be drilled into the wall at the proper position for the screws. The holes should then be plugged with wooden plugs and the wall set fast ened to them with No. screws. Care should be taken that thoroughly dry wood is used and that the plugs are large enough to hold securely.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-06

telephone wire should as rule be used for rural lines, although a small CT size wire (No. IA B.B.) may be used on lines up to twelve miles in length. However, the No. 12 gauge wire is recommended, especially if 1t is likely that the line will be length ened at any time in the future.
