Tslsph one Doctors.

In telephone plant for big city
like Chicago there are cables con-
tanning upward of 10000 miles OF
copper wire. Complete records are
kept OF the position of every wire,
and the men in charge can pick out
ut once the line OF any subscriber
whenever it Is necessary to inspect
it or work on it. When u line gets
into trouble it can be tested in both
directions from the switchboard and
out toward the subscribers station.
At every exchange there is an Off
cial called the "wire Chief whose
special duty is to overlook the max
ing of connections between the sub
scriber's line and the switchboard, to
inspect the wires, and to test them
electrically in order to determine the
position of any defect that may pc-
cur in n subscribers line or instru-
ments. The wire chief sits ut spe-
cial desk, from which wires run to
various parts Of the system, and he
is provided with electrical instru-
ments with which to make tests on
lines that develop trouble" lie Is
the ambulance surgeon of the tele-
phone plant, and his wires give him
the advantage Of being truly ubi-
quitous. lie receives complaints and
reports of TROUBLE" and enters on
special slips every trouble" re-
ported or discovered.
These slips are handed to "trouble
men," who search out the cause, and
finding it, apply the proper remedy
They then enter an account OF what
they found and what they did on the
slip and return it. In this way u
close and comprehensive check is
kept on the operation Of the tele-
phone plant, which, on account Of
its compleXity and Of the number Of
small parts that go to make it up, is
peculiarly liable to tritiing but
troublesome defects. Returns are
made up periodically from the
trouble slips" and these form a
continuous record Of the efficiency
both OF the plant and Of those imme-
diately in charge Of it.-lChica.o

THE MAHUKONA FIRE.
Spontaneous Combustion is Said to

Spontaneous Combustion is Said to be
the Cause of the Blaze.
The fire that DESTROYED the store OF
Wilder & Company at Mahukona is sup
posed to have started among the stock
of paints and oils. 1t was discovered
about 8 o'clock in the evening of July
3lst, but nothing could be done to ex-
tinguish the flames as they have no fire
apparatus at that point. The night was
pleasant one and no wind was blowing,
otherwise the whole place would have
been wiped out. The loss will be fully
$4,000.
The building was erected in 1881 and
was used as an Office and warehouse for
Wilder & Co. 1t also contained the Post
Office and Custom House quarters and a
railroad waiting room. When the fire
finished its work everything was de-
stroyed but three safes, one OF which
contained the office books. These were
recovered but were very much damaged.
Work will soon be commenced ON new
structure.
