The question has often been asked:
Is it possible to telephone across the
Atlantic? Such a communication
has never yet been made. The diff
Guilty with submarine telephony is
the fact OF considerable electrostatic
capacity in the cable. the result of
which is retardation and ferma-
ton of the electrical impulses
transmitted. If a. line could be
made of exceptionally low resistance,
SO that the electric currents would
have the freest possible discharge,
the evil effect of this capacity would
be In part done away with. 1t might

The telephone is more used in Hon,

two rival companies in the island and
the rates are SO cut that
every soda water stand has its
telephone, and the marketing is all
done over the wire. Even railway
trains are started by telephone, and

cal engineer, who has recently
been engaged in making a series of
surveys In the island, says that the
introduction OF the telephone has
had somewhat ludicrOus sequal.
The ladies, who were wont
to do their marketing with more ener

send their orders by telephone, and

CHICAGO Tribune The 100 per cent.
duty imposed by the sorting clause of the
tariff on the cheap East India woods so
much used by American carpet manufac-
turers has made il impossible for the lat
ter 10 buy them. Hence the extra large
stock of these woods at Liverpool this
spring and the consequent falling off in
price have not benefited the Anne. lean
carpet manufacturer. The cessation of
his demand has lowered the prices still
more, and his English competitor has been
getting his wool two cents pound
cheaper than formerly. The time will
soon come when, as the result of sticking
to the Mckinley policy of making wool
dear for the American carpet mauufac-
turer and cheap for the English one, the
latter will commence sending his goods
to this country in spite of the heavy
tariff imposed on them.
