Two Dover men returning, Sunday,
by carriage from Dexter, decided that
the quickest way would be to return
via the railroad track, and entered it
at the dam above the Abbott wooden
mills near the lake. Events proved
that the longer way round would
have been the shorter way home, for
they reckoned without their horse.
Near the railroad bridge, at point
midway across the company's lines
on the lower lake, the horse decided
that he had gone as far in that direc-
ton as he cared TO. He therefore
plunged to one side to free himself
from the carriage and incidentally
threw his fellow travellers into the
chilly waters of Lake Wassookeag,

ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
Invisible Regiments Will Decide Great
Battles Of the Future.

The invisible regiments of electric
ity play no small part in modern war
fare, whether it be with the marching

Dreadnoughts of the ocean or the ND
den batteries of great guns which
guard our ports along the seaboard.

electricity which signals from point to

which hoists the ammunition, carries

explodes the torpedoes, drives the

it is electricity which brings the news
of defeat and victory that the world
may know in minute the results OF

transported on mules During the
rainy season when the streams are
swollen the mail carriers frequently
swim the streams with the letter

From the Pacific side the mail
reaches the capital in two days. An

much business is handled by telc-

Confidential messages, however, es-
peeially those of government officials
are not sent by telegraph because o.
the danger they are subjected to hN
the operators who leak" and make
known their contents. As the coun-
try has enjoyed i revolutions in as
many years. there is always a strfe
by those out OF Office to get back in
again and the different factions are
always looking for opportunities to
gain an advantage.
The slow mail service naturally
makes business drag along proper
tionately. The carrying of the mail
is let by contract and the men who
see it through to its destination are
subjected TO much exposure and long
hours OF weary mountain climbing.
Along the coast the mail is taken by
Carrib sailors in small sailboats.
They encounter storms that drive
them out Of their course and occa-
sionally the boat is lost with all

Philadelphia, Feb. ol.-With subject
selected from 20 or more volunteers who
had offered their blood in response TO a
want" advertisement which appeared in
a newspaper here Monday morning, a re-
markable TRANSMISSION operation was per-
formed Monday night at the Polytechnic
hospital. The patient was David T. Pelo-
co, a poor tailor suffering from internal
hemorrhages. whose family had already
given all the blood their physicians would
allow and had advertised to give their
savings for IA volunteer in a last effort to
save the life of their relative.
The subject, who hid his identity under
the name of Smith was Il powerful
looking man about &c years of age. who
came to the hospital in taxicab and is
said to he a member of a prominent fam
lily in this city.
The TRANSMISSION was allowed to last 80
minutes. when the white face of the pa
tient has assumed a rosy red, while me
face of the subject, which at the begin
ming of the operation was ruddy, had be-
come almost dcathly white.
