In the Wall street district today
many of the banks and stock EN-
charge houses played santa Claus for
the ediHcation of their officers and en-
plCyes. So far as could be learned the
Christmas gifts were of "a most sub

TELEGRAPH WIRES

In tropical countries the mainte-
nance Of a telegraph line in good or
der is a constant uphill fight against
all manner of interrupting enemies
that operators and linemen In this
country never dream of. In tropical
South America the wires get tangled
up with the cable-like web of an i'm
mense spider, which, dripping with dew
or rain, makes cross connections, "shOrt
circuits" and grounds" almost daily.
Ants often destroy the poles in a few
weeks In the West India islands the
turkey buzzards make life miserable
for the telegraph and telephone peo-
pie These big, heavy birds-the only
scaVengers- in great numbers.
They rOost on the wires or fly against
them, and invariably break them off
short. In one large town the telephone
lines that ran by the public market
had to be put underground because the
buz2ards congregated there in great
mum berS, rested on the wires and broke
them almost nightly. on the pampas
Of Argentina the herds Of practically
wild cattle rub and butt against the
poles and frequently break them down.
For some years it was altogether i'm
possible to maintain a line of telegraph
through Persia for more than a few
days at a time; the natives regularly
destroyed 1t as device of the evil one.
Finally the shah issued an edict MAX
ing the loss Of an ear the penalty for a
first offense Of destroying the telegraph
line the loss of a hand for the second
and death by being buried to the neck
IN the sand beside the telegraph line
the penalty for a third offense. One

Since he commenced trying to reform

PROGRESS IN ELECTRIC FARMING

There is no longer any reason why
even the farmer of moderate means
should not enjoy all the home comforts
of his city cousin, says the Electric
News. The day when bath tubs. light
ing plants, water systems for fire pro-
lection and heating furnaces were to
be found only in the larger villages
and in the cities has gone forever.
Today there are few rural villages too
SIN II to boast of all these things. and
the farmer has caught the spirit of the
times and his up-to-date farmhouse is
lighted with electricity and heated by
steam. 1t is supplied with fine bath
rooms and running water and other
modern conVeniences.
A few years ago the electric light
power plants installed on farms were
very few and far between. A few ad-
venturous farmers had dared to har-
ness their mountain pasture streams
and turn their water energy into cleo
tricity for use about the house and
barns; a few more had installed gaso-
line engines for the same purpose.
These early installations proved
success from the first and 1t was not
long before their worth had been
talked and written about until almost
every Well-to-do farmer was consider
ing a similar installation.
Aside from the many benefits and
economies of electricity for lighting,
heating and cooking in the farmhouse
it readily assumes most of the hard
work about the farm which in the past
has been a most discouraging factor
In securing farm labor. Electricity

churning, as we'll as turn the washing

ers, feed grinders and to all other
small machinery, such as the grind
stone, lathe and a small buzz saw for
cutting firewood. The threshing ma
chine and flaming mill are very easily
belted onto the portable motor. In
Germany and a few other foreign
countries electricity is also used to ad-
vantage to pull the plows, harrows,
raIes, cultivators, binders, mowers
and other outdoor machinery.

the directors and defendants at the

defendants into the controlling stock of

-FOUR HOUSES BURNED;
DISTRICT THREATENED
Fire Department Saves Neighbor-
hood Only by Prompt Action.
Loss Estimated $1,000

Fire starting from the explosion of
a gasoline stove resulted last night in
the destruction of three bungalows,
damaged another and threatened to
destroy the entire colony of houses
along North Breed street in the Boyle
Heights district.
Prompt and efficient work by the fire
department curtailed the blaze, at
though three homes were already
doomed when the first piece of appara-
tus arrived on the scene.
The fire started in the kitchen Of
the home of Mrs. William Lindsey, 62
North Breed street. Mrs. Lindsey had
prepared the family dinner and was
sitting on the front porch when her
attention was attracted by dense
cloud of smoke.
Instantly the flames spread and the
cottage owned and occupied by Mrs. A.
Bata, 500 North Breed street, caught
fire. The flames then spread to the
house occupied by G. Quijada, 626
North Breed street, and this place was
soon in ruins. Sparks set fire to the
roof of the house occupied by A. Fien-
stein, GIG North Breed street.
The roof of the house was burned,
but the fire department was able to
check the fire at loss estimated at
$500. Fienstein, realizing his home
might catch fire, removed all his furni-
ture.
other residents along the street re-
moved all their belongings, as it was
feared for a time that the houses, be-
ing built closely together, could not
be saved.
The total damage caused by the fire
was estimated by the department at
$1,000.
