Automatic Telephone Can Boxes

Automatic Telephone Call Boxes.
Glasgow has system of automatic tele-
phone call boxes. There are seyenty-six
of the boxes scattered about the city, and
every subscriber has key to them. A
non-subscriber wanting to use them must
first ring up the exchange, and ask if the
connection lie desires can be made. Ifit
can, he drops the fee, which is either
three pennies or six, according to the dis
tance he wants to talk, into hole in the
box. The pennies as they fall break q
circuit and ring bell 1T the central of
flee. When the bell has rung the re-
quired number of times the central office
makes the connection At the end of
three minutes allowed for conversation the
connection is broken automatically The
average time taken to put two persons in
telephone communication in Glasgow is
thirty five seconds, in birmingham forty,
in Liverpool thirty-two, and in Dundee
twenty. This was ascertained from the
results of ten calls in each town.

A Boy Who Never Smoked.


While We were lying around the

boy some twelve or fourteen years old
came along driving some cows and
stopped for q short call. Briar had
been for some time moditatively watch
ing the smoke of his pipe curl up and
mingle with that of the fire, when
he turned 10 the boy and said:
"Won'tyou have smoker I've got
an extra pipe in my pocket and here's
some tobacco"
Il don't never smoke" replied tho
boy.
That's right" replied Briar ~
supposed you did or wouldn't have
asked you. wonldn't try to induce
any boy to use tobacco-it's bad
habit wish l had never begun its
use myself-you just keep letting it
alone. Haven you sometimes found

not have their individual worth

their admission is decided en-
lirely by the wealth and social
status of their employers. Those who
drive for tho newly rich are contempt

whether MI. Vandorbilt's or Mr. As

cursory examination of such speakers
and hooks of selection as arc now pub
lished, we should say that change
has come over tho general custom;
that there was q good deal of tawdry
rhetoric and cheap humor in place OF
the old-timc stirring patriotic pas
sages. Possibly an explanation may
be found in the disappearance of the
old oratorical school, and the rise of
more matier-of fact and business-like
appeals. Be- this rs 1t may, the dec
lamations of American youths thirty
or forty years ago were of passionate
order. and those orators were drawn
from chiefly who had heated the
iron words of opposition to tyranny 10
white heat. The war for independ-
ence left a legacy of fcrvid speeches,
and Of them all none was so popular
MS that of Patrick Henry's, in which
occurs the splendid burst beginning;
''Mr. President, it is natural to man
10 indulge in the illusions of Hope"
and closing with the words: 1--WE

has been estimated at thirty thousand

Saguenay forms sheer cliffs fifteen

retired from tho Senate there is not
member of that body who has gained
tho distinction OF being ilrst-class

in taking instructions in the art from
his friend Gibson. He has made such
rapid progress that he contemplates

recipe is as follows:

be placed on It's back, and in few

How Sleigh-Bells Are Made.

1t has. no doubt, been a mystery to
many how tho iron ball inside Of
sleigh bells got there. and it is said to
havo taken considerable thought on
the part Of the discoverer before the
idea struck him. In making sleigh
bells the iron ball is put inside san
core Just tho shape of the inside Of
the bell. Then n mold is made just
the shape of the outside of tho bell.
THIS sand core with the jinglet inside
fs placed in the mold Of the outside,
and tho melted metal is poured in,
which fills up the space between the
core and mold. Tho hot metal burns
the core so that 1t can be all shakon
out, leaving the ball within tho shcll.
Ball valves, swivel joints. and many
other articles arc cast in tho same
