One of tlie most nttractive portions
of Colorado, if not in the entire west,
is that part of the state in which are
found the clitf dwellings of a long extinct
race. The district in which
these ruins are located covers an area
of nearly 0,000 square miles, chiefly
iti Colorado, hut which includes narrow
belts in the adjacent territories of
New Mexico, Ufa ft and Arizona.^
The ruins of this regioij, !ike most
others of the extreme west and south,
are tho remnants in a groat measure
of stone structures. It is evident,
however, that a great rortion of the
villages and dwcllingsof the lowlands
which comprise this district. have been
of material other than stone, frequently,
doubtless, of rubble and
udobo combined.

8ix hundred years B. C., Thales, of
Milcte, noted tho oloctrical phenom- h
ona and dovolopcd by friction upon n
amber; 200 years later Plato theorized n
upon electricity, and A. D. 1C22 Mar- f<
tinigO} a Venetian, tho engineer in de- n
fenso of Rhodes, applied ono ond of a v
drum head at tlio end of his counter- b
mino to discover tho vicinity and ii
direction of tho enemy's underground n
galleries, and thus, by utilizing tbo a
molecular disturbanco of tho earth in
sound waves, conceived tho Ixisis of a
telephony. It was not, however, li
until A. D. 1G90, that Von Guerick c
made tho first macliino for generating c
frictional electricity, nor until A. I), a
172G, that Wood recorded tho fact that 'I
frictional electricitv would pas* J
through a considerable length of wirt>, v
and could therefore bo utilized for tliO a
transmission of signals. .To Wood, of tl
England, is therefore duo tho lionoi
of iirst suggesting tho feasibility of v
electric telegraph v.
A. D. 1735, Jlursehcnbrokj Get- d
manv, invented tho Loyden jar; by a
which means friotioiiul clo<<ricity c
could bo stored for experimental pur- v
noses. A. D. 1747, Dr. Watson, Lug- h
land, erected tho lirst telegraph lino c
between Shooters Hill and London,
and A. D. 1753, C. M. (bcliovpd to bo.
tho initials of Charles Matthews) published
the manner in which ho had indicated
tho letters of tho alphabet
through a system of twentv-six wires,
by frictional electricity. During tho
latter half-of tho Eighteenth- ccnturv
inventors of nil nations endeavored,
by means of two or moro wires and '
frictional electricity, to transmit intelligence
between distant places; but
it was not until A. D. 1800, when
Volta proclaimed his own and Galvani's
prior experiments in the production
of chemical electricity, that electric
telegraphy; as now developed, became
practicable.
A. D. 1810, Oersted (Denmark) discovered
that.a frcelv suspended magnetized
ncedlo would move to the
right or left, in nreordaiico with tho
polarity of a current of electricity
through an adjacent wire. A. D.
1820, Arago (France) discovered that
when a bar of soft iron was wound r
with a copper or insulated iron wire, it 1
became a magnet whenever a currem of c
electricity traversed tlio wire, and was
immediately demagnetized (or nearly e
so) when tho wires were disconnected 1
from tho source of current. c
A. D. 1832, Faraday (England) dis- /
covered that when a coil of insulated 1
wiro was placed adjacent to, but not s
connected with, another coil of wire, c
through which an intermittent current t
of electricity was passed, induced cur- c
rents of increased intensity and alter- c
nating polarity were developed in tho c
unattached coll. Also that tho move- c
ment of a permanent bar magnet with- a
in a coil of wire, or tho movement of '
on electro-magnet near tho poles of a
permanent magnet, would develop cur- 1
rants of electricity. To tho foregoing i

! From Woods first conception of on a
electro-telegraph, A. D. 172(5, ftiorothan 1
| v century elapsed before Cooke and a
j Wllcatstono (England), A- 1837, o
ulaptcd Oersted's discovery "of" A. D. j
I L819, to tlio first practical and commercially
successful system of what u
Jrnay bo termed visual electric telegrabliy;
and some months later Morse and c
I'ail, United States, adapted Arago's t
liscovery of A. D. 1820, to the first t
ivstem of recording electric telegra- t
iby, Vail being the inventor of tlio a
Qy? and dash alphabet. f
" ! A. D. 18.38, Stcinhill, Germany, s
adapted Oersted's discovery to the llrst 1
' recorded system of sound or aural tele- y
f;raphv, and first utilized tbo earth in c
ieu of a second wire or all metallic a
i f ii'cuit. It is by no means certain that t
I there is any electric current flowing I
I through a wire, or that a wnvo of
| electricity, liko the waves of sound,
I traverses it. It is simply a customary
; expression to indicate a difl'ereneo in f
and around n wire to the conditions in J
which said wire was when no electricity
was present in It. F
A. D. 183'.), Wheatstone invented F
tlio step by step alphabetical indicating f
telegraph; and A. D. 1848, House, Eng- J
land, invented tlio alphabetical typo *
printing telegraph, which was suo.se- c
fluently improved upon by Hughes, v
England. A. D. 184(5, llaino, England, 1
invented tlio chemical dot and dash e
recording telegraph, which, combined g
with Wlicatstonc's automatic trans- ?
mittor, is the most rapid method of con- 8
vcying intelligence in present opera- &
tion. n
Finally, A. I). 1S7C, Boll, United j'

accomplishing the electrical transrnis- tl
si on of speech, thus attained possibly a
tho highest degree of lwrfectiou in in- a
