telephone recently brought out here, is
wonderful from tue fact that It, capabilities
appear TO annihilate distance, and so far rs

proprietors have very naturally kept their
invention IA secret. They wished 10 apply
the severest ties b fore making any public
announcement, and they have not rs yet
made any Efforts TO give publicity TO their In

and through the fall the instruments were
put to trial work on the telcgraphic wires To-
Gated ON Long Island, which are not In good
condition. Ten, twenty and sixty miles
were accomplished without difficulties, Ell.

Later the wire: o the new postal tele.

were utilized during the evenings, and
gentleman present states that the result WAS
