HELLOING 1900 MILES
LONG DISTANCE AND SHORT CIRCUIT
TELEPHONES.

Who Use the Former and What They Use
Them For-The Charges Seem High, but
They Permit the Use of Considerable
Conversational Lecture For Test Calls.
A continuous long distance telephone
line extends between Boston and Mil
waukee, distance, as the line is run, of
1900 miles.
A reporter who was wondering, as
many other people are wondering, no
doubt, if the long distance telephone cir
cults are much used, and if SO by what
class of people and for what purposes,
called to ask those questions of Edward
P. Meany, assistant general manager of
the company, in the main Office, at IL
Cort1andt street,
Eyes," said Mr.. Meaney, ''the long
distance service is used to such salts
factory extent that it is being constantly
extended. In the far western part of
our territory Milwaukee has been added
to the system, and this side of Chicago a
line has recently been run down from
Toledo to Dayton o., and from Dayton
extensions are making which will bring
Cincinnati and Indianapolis into the serv-
ice.
"What class of interviews is most
conducted over tbs longer circuits?"
81 should say that social and domestic
affairs bring most of the patrons now,
although there are some business inter
views conducted"
Mr.. Meaney explained that the charges
for long distance interviews are based
upon five minutes conversation as a
unit. That is, the charge between New
York and Washington is 81, between
New York and Chicago SO, for each five
minutes or portion of that time. This
does not include the time used in max
ing the connection or bringing the par
ties to the ends Of the line. All sub
scribers to the long distance telephone
can be connected with the circuits just
as they are in the local business. 1t a
man is wanted who is not q subscriber
to the long distance service, he is hunted
up and brought to central station
without charge.
When two people get fairly started on
long distance interview, they can talk
from 400 to 800 words in five minutes,
according to the subject and their faInil-
iarity with it. It is fact that most in
terviews end before the unit Of time has
elapsed. One New York woman who
had her son at South Bend, Ind, where
he is at school, called up anxiously, asked
her startled hopeful If she had put his
winter fannels in his trunk, if he had
not maliciously carried off his fathers
razor and if his tooth had stopped ach-
ing. Being satisfactorily answered on
all these points, she paid for the service
and went on her way rejoicing.
Business men chiefly use the long dis.
lance service to consult about terms OF
contracts or to report the text of con.
tracts which must be repeated to insure
accuracy.
The chief difference between the long
distance and the short circuits is that in
the former what is called a metallic serY-
ice is used that is, in talking between
New York and Chicago, distance of
1000 miles, the service is really over 1000
miles Of wire. as the wire, instead Of be-
Morris tribune., 1893-11-22

ing grounded at both ends TO complete
the circuit, is doubled or looped to make
the complete circuit metallic. The in
structions for speaking and listening are
the same as those printed for the use of
the ordinary telephone, and the result,
SO far as hearing is concerned, is rather
better over thousand miles than over
one. This is owing to the metallic Cir
cult, which does away with the madden
ing burr-r-r resulting from induction.
and from the use Of heavier and SUI
pericr copper wire. The wire used in
the long distance service weighs $40
pounds mile, the ordinary service wire
weighing but $40 pounds.
Mr.. Meaney said that while there was
no mechanical reason why the service
should not be continued across the con-
tinent, it is not probable that, for the
present at least, it will go beyond the
Mississippi river, owing to the great cost
of construction, operating and lnainte-
nance expenses. When these facts had
been given to the reporter, Mr.. Meaney
asked if a chat with Chicago would not
aid an understanding of the subject. The
reporter thought it might, and Mr.. Mear
ney drew toward him movable stand
ard telephone instrument and calledu
Chicago. That active city quickly re-
sponded, and the telephone was turned
over to the reporter. The thousand mile
away voice began in clear singsong
voice, ''This is the Worlds fair tele-
phone exchange station"
"That's all right, said the reporter.
'I'm a Sun man and wanted to hear
your voice."
Then it laughed and said in a natural
manner:
81 have to answer about 80 test calls
a day, and SO have made up a little lee
ture which give them Free"
Then a conversation of several min
utes followed, unbroken by a "burr-r-r,"
''zip-tsing" or a single whats that?'-

An Absccss In the Unurcn.

There is negro church in Somerville,
and some funny things happen there. 1t
seems that there was a little recess be-
hind the pulpit which was used for the
pastors dressing room. One day in a
heavy rain the fresco fell with crash
upon the floor. Preparations were made
to repair the damage with the customary
African promptness.
The pastor, however, soon got dis
gusted, and one morning, after getting
his feet covered with the dusty mortar,
he assembled the pulpit. Casting his eye
upon the dusty deacons of the church, he
announced with dignity: "Bredren and
sisters, it GIBBS yo' pastor great pain to
call attention to the state of affairs in dis
yere church,; but, bredren, de gospel in
dis yere church must cease to be dis
pensed with till de abscess in de rear OBJ
de pulpit am fricasseed.
The fresco was put up next day. Bos

SELF SACRIFICE.
without o Justiflabie Motive II Becomes .
Sentimental Yagary.

6GHtAAhoMe1A A&0Ays
Young Lanyan, the midshipman, who
went down with Admiral Tryon on the
Victoria, was a sentimental lad. "You
had better jump" cried the admiral to
the boy.
"Pd rather stay with you" was the
midshipman's reply.
The boys loyalty to the admiral was
pathetic, but twas barren display of
affection. The admiral was right. The
lad ought to have jumped and made
resolute effort to save his life. The adj
miral had weighty reasons for preferring
to stay at his post. Tho midshipman's
life was flung away from sheer excess of
sentiment.
Equally wasteful and unjustifable was
the zeal Of New Jersey workman, who
listened to lady's frantic appeal for the
rescue Of her dog, which was founder
ing in a pond. She fancied that her pet
was in extreme danger. The workman
plunged into the water and swan out to
the dog. There he was suddenly attacked
with cramp and was drowned before the
lady's eyes. The dog swan ashore and
barked from the bank at the rescuer,
whose intentions had been misunder-
stood. 1t was more than foolish for a
man to risk his life for hysterical lady's
pet dog.
Another workman in Brooklyn played
better part. A cry of "Horse run
away!' was raised while he was chatting
with friend. A frightened horse was
tearing up the street with wagon be-
hind him, bat no driver. Directly in
his track was baby carriage with
sleeping child. The nurse, who had been
wheeling the carriage across the street,
had been frightened by the outcries OF
bystanders, and deserving her charge
had fed to the sidewalk.
The workman did not hesitate. Spring
ing forward, he caught the animal by
the bride and stopped the horse barely
in time to save the child's life. The
horse. revolving against capture, reared
and made plunge for liberty. The bri-
die broke in the workman's hands, and
he fell under the horses feet In mo-
ment he was trampled to death.
This workman had wife and children
dependent upon him. He undertook
most hazardous feat in attempting to
stop the horse by the bride ends in front
of the baby carriage. But although he
lost his life and brought calamity upon
his household he exhibited singular TN
selfshness and fortitude. The sight of
the sleeping child exposed to horrible
death set his warm heart beating, and
generously and impulsively he did the
only thing that could have been done for
the child's rescue.
That was better than a useless sacrifice
of life for puppy. 1t was nobler than
voluntary suicide with the admiral, who
feared court marshal's probable brand
of murderer more than he feared death.
Unless self sacrifice have adequate mo-
tive and justification for the risks, 1t be-
comes a sentimental vagary involving
senseless waste of life.-Youth's Com
panion.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man

How Tn Learn Music.

Do not fail to take advantage of the
library. Begin course of good read
ing. Music is notorious for narrowing
ones mind, so resolve to counter balance
your practice with library work as well.
As to your practice, would give you
this maxim, "The essential thing in
practice is to see exactly what is to be
done in all it's details, and then do it
again and again with the greatest clear
ness, precision and energy"
When you take up new piece, notice
the key, the harmonies, chords, scales,
lingering and general effects. One OF
the first necessaries is concentration.
Develop self criticism. "The thing you
cannot do is the very thing you should
make yourself do"
In practice begin where you left off
the day before. Connect your days
work. Apply all your knowledge. Do
not try to do more than one thing at a
time. Spend a good deal of time every
day thinking about what you are doing
and what you will do. Edward D. Hale.

A Remarkable Bridge.

It is reported from Denver that nat
ural bridge formed by tree Of agatized
wood, spanning canyon 40 feet wide,
has been found in Chalcedony park in
Arizona. 1t is supposed that the tree
had at some remote time fallen, when it
became inbedded in the silt Of some
great inland sea or mighty water over
flow. The silt became in time sand
stone, and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization,
until now it is a wonderful tree of solid
agate. Again, in after years, water has
washed and eaten away the sandstone
until canyon 40 feet in width has been
formed, the fint1ike substances of the
agatized wood having resisted the erosion
of the waterfowl Yankee Blade.

We've done the best we could. my dear.
There's notlling to regret.
We've taught the children many truths
On which our hearts were Jet.
And IL against our old lime ways
They fooljsEly protect
We never need regret, my dear
That we have done our best.
There's many plan that's como TO naught.
There's many light gone out,
And disappointments, griefs and cares
Have hedged US roundabout,
And many a sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've done the very best " could
'Tis US less TO regret.
For out of evil good has come,
And out of darkness light,
And all wrongdoing in this world
Some day VIII be set right,
And though we have not reached the height
Attained by others, yet
We've done the best we could, my dear
'Tis useless to regret.
We've tried to live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
'Gainst evil things to take our stand,
In goodness to excel.
So judge yourself not harshly, dear.
Nor at Inisfortunes fret.
We've done the best we could, and so

On wings of fire and steeds of steam
The worlds great wonders come to mel
And all her signs, unmarked before,
OF love to seek and power to save
The righting of the wronged and poor.

In full assurance of the good.

Whose love my heart has comforted,
And, sharing all nv joys, has shared

Bound on their last long voyage, to whom

Where every bark has sailing room,

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
The Safety of the Many Bought by thu
Death of the Few.

The Safety OF the Many Bought by the
Death of the Few.
All crafts depend upon knowledge and
acquired slill-knowledge of the ma
terial to be handled, acquired skill in the
handling of the material Pioneers of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
of their structure, and the forces in ac-
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has one meaning for a geologist, has
others for mountaineer. One kind OF
mountain masonry forms ridges and
gullies, another forms lodges and preci-
pices. One texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed. another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind of substance is firm and trust
worthy, another is friable and treacher-
Gus to hand and foot. If there was SO
much to be learned about rocks. snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
estate of the snow" to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
estate OF. the snow at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
avalanches of snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected to fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish affair off between snow and
ice slopes. Moreover, the tools of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
were tried and discarded; few were re-
tanned and improved. The form OF the
ak was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wher9from these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were 3 source of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril OF
cornices. Unroped climbers met their
death on many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety of the many has
been bought by the death of the few.
We can now plunge into the world of
snow without undue peril. We know
| its dangers and can guard against them;
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun-
ners went aloft as neolithic navigators
put to sea-badly equipped and into a
misunderstood region. We are now on
| the footing of the modern sailor. Snow,
as such, has no more terrors for us than
sea for them. Ill luck may overtake
US, and we may fall, as they may be
drowned, but with good equipment and
experience the climber and seafarer are
about as safe as the townsman at home.
