Curious Telegraph Lines.

The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from La PlaZ.
the capital of Bolivia. to the neighbor-
ing town of Oruro. a distance of about
15G miles There are no growing trees
In this part Of the world. and wood Of
any kind is so rare that the telegraph
poles were made of the same material
as the natives household furniture
dried mud. The pillars were built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base. with
tapering height of fifteen feet. They
were placed about $50 feet apart. An
other curious telegraph line was con
strHcted in Uganda by British engi-
neer. who transported growing trees
to the roadside and used them ms
poles because he could not find any
dead" wood that would withstand
the ravages Of the white ants. IN
Dutch East India growing trees are
also turned to account in this manner
but there wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side
and the actual telegraph line suspend
ed down the center.
