The Telephone in the United States

Six years ago the invention of the
telephone came to public notice, and in
1873 its practical value was recognized.
In last weeks Bradstreet's these facts
are given: The telephone is to be es-
tablished in Roumania. the only coun-
try in Europe in whichit has not been
introduced. The present number of
telephone exchanges in the United
States is III, under the control of 81
companies. In 1881 there were 179
companies and 526 exchanges. In
1882 there were lS9 companies, 672
exchanges.
Twelve exchanges have more than
1000 subscribers each. One company
in New York has SIS; the Chicago
Exchange has 1886; Cincinnati; 2.O56
Providence, 1906; San Francisco,
1,249; Boston, 1,l86; Detroit, LILO,
Albany, 100; Buffalo, LOAF; Louis.
vile, 1,024; Baltimore, 1,017. The
average number of communications
transmitted by each subscriber a day
is about 400. Telephone tariff varies
in different places. At Dallas, Texas
the rates are Is and 25 cents, according
to distance, for call and five minutes
conversation. In Buffalo, twelve tele
phone message tickets are sold for 81
In New York the rate is $50 pei

A needle mandatory has been e.
tablished in Brooklyn, and is the only
one in the country, all needles hither-
to having come from Europe. They
, are to be made by machinery, which
will be the first attempt of the kind.
The manufacture has been entirely by
hand and requires many operations
the conversion of the wire into rough
needles requires twenty, the tempering
and annealing nine, polishing five
which are repeated seven or eight
times, and sorting five. fhe Brooklyn
enterprise will, is to be hoped, prove a
success.

sUNBEAMs.
BY EDMUND LYONS.


All. what would the earth be without them;
The sunbeams that sparkle and play,
Gliding castles with splendor about them,
And cots hidden humbly away.
They shine, in the fair summer weather,
On meadow, aud hOyoi, ana hall,
And the Door and the wealthy together
May enjoy the sweet sunbeams-for all.
When clouds DER the cabin are rolling,
And the light hardly penetrates through,
The king in his paace controlling
His vassals must feel the gloom too.
And, II may be, the home OF the peasant
Is brighter than that OF the king;
III he lives in content with the present.
Nor fears what the future may bring.
Through the sunbeams message Is blending
As they fall on the age whiteDed head.
They tell OF glory impending,
Far brighter than any they shed.
They sparkle GA youth and on maiden,
They SMILE upon husband and wife,
And they greet the young mother, hope laden,
With the sunshine and beauty OF life.
But II ever In shadows, uncertain,
The lines Of your lite shsuld cast.
Fear not, hut remember the curtain
Will surely b. lifted at last.
Ii you cherish the Iowa light that scatters
Doubt, darkness, and gloom from the door
Clouds may lower, but little IL natter,
The sunheams will shine out once more.

Swiss WATCHES.-No other indus
try in the world has such fixed sys-
tenn for regulating its work as the
Swiss watch manufacturers. About
sixty different masters are occupied
with the manufacture of the different
parts of each single watch, in such a
way that each workman manufactures,
throughout the year, the same pieces,
as, for example, the hands, or certain
wheels, ETC., and by this means the
workmen attain peculiar ability in
their special branch. in a like man.
ner they have metamorphosed their
simple and almost primitive tools into
most complicated machinery, and their
ability to perform work is enormous
both as TO quality and quantity. They
work generally at home, with the help
Of members of their family, and thei
sell the finished component parts Il
the big manufacturers, under whose
superinte ndence the watch is complet
ed. Although these different parts ART
procured from different shops, they
nevertheless exactly fit together, be
cause they are made after one and Tn,
same number, measure, and rule. Tit
workmen earn francs, 10 centime
per day, according to the branch thel
are engaged in and to the run Of tn,
business, and in nearly every house o
the region where watches are mad
may be found a special working shop
Laree manufactures are not frequent
the largest are employed in preparing
the rougher metal works. such as tn
turning of the screws, etc. The Swis
watch industry occupies at presen
J about 10000 persons.

To MEASURE HEIeHTs.-'

To MEASURE HEIGHTs.-The hyp-
sOmeter is the name of useful little
instrument for measuring heights of
walls, timber, trees and spouting, and
therefore valuable to surveyors, build
ers and artisans. The plan is to take
triangle, composed of three Stats
similar to the carpenters angle, and
on each end of the longer side place a
small sight vane; suspend from the
lower side metal ball to keep this
side horizontal, and construct handle,
with circle at its upper end, in which
the triangle can rest and move, and
by which it will slide into the proper
position by the weight Of the ball.
Take the instrument by the handle
and move backward until the two
sights are brought into line with the
top of the building or other object
The height will be found by adding the
distance of the operator from the
building to the height of the eye above
he ground.

Sew Congressional AppOrtionment

The Apportionment bill as finally
amended and passed by the House,
fixes the number Of Representatives
a 325, thus adding 80 members to a
body already plenty large enough for
effective business, still the increase
was inevitable, and as most OF the
work is done by committees, no great
harm is liable to result from it. The
text OF the bin reads as follows;
After the Sd Of March, 1853, the
House Of Representatives shall be
composed Of 325 members, I be APP
portioned among the several States as
follows: Alabama, s; Arkansas, >;
California, 6;Colorado. /; Connecticut.
1; Delaware, 1; Florida. ?; Georgia,
10; Illinois, 20; Indiana, -; Iowa, Il;

1t will be seen that twenty one
States gain in representation, and four
lose Kansas cur the largest gain
six members, and Texas the next
five members. The New England
States suffer an aggregate loss Of two
members the Middle States gain two.
the South gains thirteen, the West
gains seventeen, and the Pacific coast
gains two California under The pro-
visions Of this bill electing six Rep
resenfatives instead Of four at the gen.
eral election next fall. There is every
probability that the Senate will pass
the bill without amendment or alter
