A DEVICE BY WHICH OPERATORS ARE
DETECTED IN FLIRTING
Every New York Central ofhec To BE
Provided with n Monitor
How It Works and the Graf
flying Results


Now York Hernldl
In a few days every central telephone Of
Ace IN this city will have a monitor desk in
it and then tho dappor clerk and tho blue
eyed maiden with the mocking hira voice
must look out for squalls The monitor desk
was invented by Mr.. Z. A Ecksrt, chief
operator OF the Metropolitan Telephone com
pany. All the giris my he il real horrid,
and the clerks are pining for his personal
gore.
A reporter has seen tho monitor desk which
Is operated IN the New Street exchange. In
a long. narrow room, fanked by great shin
Ing brass switch boards, sat fourteen or If
teen pretty girls Little strips OF brass
crossed themselves on each dainty mead and
hell a receiver" to each left ear.
In this manner thu left ear was devoted to
the public and the right ear TO the company.
A confused chattering and murmuring, ac-
companied by staccato Embellishments ON
the part OF a number OF small boys who
pulled and pushed in scores OF brnss plugs,
supplied sound enough to confuse even the
average hotel clerk. And yet there was an
atmosphere Of regularity and order that was
surprising. At the head OF the room sat
Manager Thompson<<rm<of the monitor
desk. with a "recr d to his left
ear, too. Rising was a little
brass switchboard and ! s6fzs OF annuncia-
tor flaps.

watch every girl in the room The instant l
suspect any girl is flirting with a subscriber.

in tho hole corresponding with her wire,
and l am instantly connected with the cir
cult on which she Is talking. Sheaas no
means OF knowing that / am listening, and
yet ! can hear all that Is said on 10th sides.
1 can listen to as much OF 1t as 1 care to, and
then I can say Come off, or Take a DROP
and both parties hear me. in this manner
no girl will dare to fritter away her time, for
she does not know whether she Is talking dL
rect!y into my ear or not There Is another
advantage in the monitor desk II a sub
scriber complains about bad service, or a
huzzing in the wire, or a broken trans
mitter, or about anything else he choo ssa,
the g1rl simply switches him on TO my in
strument, and without leaving my seat / can
find out what Is the matter from him, ex-
plain the trouble, and then order the remedy.
You can not imagine what a saving Of time
and trouble and what a wonderful sentinel
this monitor desk is Sit dow and listen
yourself"
The reporter stuck the transmitter 10 his
ear and sat down.
"Ah there. Central" came a voice.
What do you wantf" responded another
voice.

Tho ships that sail from this port TO San
Francisco take about 1875 days to make the

This post or rod Is connected with a rope or
chain passing over suitable pulleys AMI ex-
tending to n hut, 50 that by pulling the rope
or chain the support or platform on which the
owl rests can be moved up or down,
thus causing the owl to move about, inp his
wings, and create a commotion to attract the
other birds. A short distance from this post
n low shanty or hut Is erected, the side
toward tho post, on which the owl is chained,
being provided with small openings, through
which the barrels Of the guns can be thrust.
The hut should be erected at the base of q

fhp Queer Racket That Is Worked About
the Capitol Corridors.
Washington star.1
Maybe the last part OF the session VIII
pan out something thatn give a man a
chance to turn an honest penny helping some
body or other through congress but the out
look Is not calculated to keep a man heru If
he's got something TO do somewhere else. 1t
don't look to me. though, as II there's going
to be any big business in the lobby hereafter.
To tell the truth, people src getting afraid
OF any man that's called "a lobbyist Tho
nowspapersh avs said 80 much about the
business that people aro down on il. and a
member OF congress Is actually afraid to
talk to any man who's been spotted as l.
longing to the lobby. and, to 10 honest about
it some OF EN- amt no better than com:
dence man after all. They lay around tbs
capitol watching Tor anything and every
thing that has money In it.
Soon as they discover somebody who has
a bill or a claim, thoy go for him and tell him
IL he don't let 'em In they'll jump on him
It's diyvy or fight WITH them. No honest
lobbyist has any use for that crowd. They
hurt the business and make people scared at
the name OF lobby. There's many a queer
racket worked about these capitol corridors.
1 can tell you, and II tho reporters could Just
got on 70 some OF en- tutyd nave sometniux
worth writing about. One man got $4,000
out OF a certain crowd whom the tariff bill
was hanging In conference just by cheek and
smart work Tho crowd / speak OF had a
certain interest to take care OF, and they
were afraid IL was going TO DO hurt Thai
man found out how tbs committee stood, and
then made a ban gain to protect that interest
He never went near that committee; never
spoke a word to any Of the members, but
when the report was made anil the thing was
ali right, be got his $4,000.
Tie votss of members have been sold and
sold over again, without tho members them
selves ever knowing anything about it"
How is It donef'
well. the racket Is about this: You want
T. secure the vote OF a certain member. !
know him. and pretend that l can control
him. l let you see me spsak 10 him, aud
talk with him You begin to believe l can
work him. | just wait till the bill comes up
Then. IL my man votes for II, l claim to have
made him do it IL he don't, / tell you be
fooled me. and that's all thers Is Of it.
But there isn't as much OF this now as
there used to be. Tho lawyers nave almost
spoiled the trade Of tho professional lobbyist
They take a fee, as they call II, and that's re-
spectacle. These lawyers are always on the
watch for fees OF hat kind. and when they
drop on a game Of a fellows to speculate on
a MEMBERS vote. they go and blow on him.
I'm either goin' to study law and get ad-
mitted or quit the business"

Mr. Charles McGarycy, who has the
contract for excavating the well for Fort
RusselTs water supply, has struck water
in the excavation at a depth Of only five
feet. As the specifications require the
well shall contain at least ten feet of water,
the further excavation will be attended
with considerable difficulty. The well is
twcnty-four feet wide, and will be bricked
around the sides. Each running foot Of
the brick work costs as, and it is esti-
mated that the cost of keeping the water
out until the well is finished will be $500.
The contract price Of the well is $l,723.
