Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone

was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck In the

strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged In telephone construc-
ton work of his own. He stuck some
sticks In the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end OF
the wire to his mouth and talked to
1t at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
