THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD

According to the Seattle Times if M.
Fourmer de Flax is an authority, we
must recast all our ideas concerning the
relative strength of the various relig-
ions of the world. Hitherto it has been
held that Buddhism had the greatest
number of adherents, but better
knowledge of China has shown that
many of those who have been set down
as Buddhists must be classed us adher-
ents to the philosophical system of
Confucius, which, strictly speaking, is
not a religion at all.
NJ de FlaiX thus classifies the popu-
lation of the earth:

The property was owned by member of

agents, who represented in the purchase
the New York Realty Company. The
amount of the purchase price has been We

sum was the price paid in the December

that Flake & Bowling had sold this same
property to a syndicate for 81 $50. 600. which
is an advance of $20O.OO0 over the highest
price mentioned in the former sale.

pnuies is Met.
From the New York Evening Post.
The Western Electric Company which is
controlled by the American Bell Telephone
Company. has for years had at work an
able corps of experts. who quietly and UNI
ostentatiously, have taken out patent after
patent upon almost every conceivable way
to hang up a telephone. to connect a
switchboard to make plug" or a Jack"
and to lay out an exchange. This company
now holds probably from 1000 to 500 diff
ferent patents of this nature. Probably
the most sweeping patent owned by the
Western Electric Company. and therefore
controlled by the American Bell Telephone
Company, is that of Thomas A. v atson of
January 0. 1888, No. 270.522, which seems
to cover the combination of an induction
coil in a telephone transmitter with any
kind of a switch for cutting the coil in
and OUT, whether this switch is automatic
not.
Again. there are between $50 and 800
patents upon telephone switchboarcs,
switchboard circuits. jacks. plugs. tele-
phone lightning arresters. suspension de-
vices for transmtters, operators head
telephones, special ringing-of drops, keys
or push buttons for list en;ng. subscribers
drops. etc. A switchboard for small ex-
change, which will be clear of all these
patents, except, perhaps, one or two, can
easily be made. The patent of Horace H.
iIldred of August 10. 1854, however would
seem to be quite a stumbling block in the
path of the wouid-be manufa ctarer of nom
Infringing SwitchboardS. The second claim
of this patent covers broadly the introduce
ton into the connecting cord circuit of a
switchboard of any clcarins-out or ringing
oft drops whereby the operator is notified
that conversation has oeen finished. The
fifteenth claim of the same patent covers
broadly any device provision, or switch
whereby an operators telephone may be
introduced into the circuit of connecting
cord for the purpose of listening. Assum-
ing this patent to be teaaole, the makers
of switchboards will have to devise some
rev way OF ringing off and of listening,
This patent, while issued in 1884, was APP
piled for in 1850, previous to which time
1t is quite likely that the device had not
been in public use for more than two years
Again, there are quite number of pat
ents upon magneto-bells, generators etc
which are not at all formidable, for th,
reason that more than one manufacturer
of such apparatus has been Successful in
keeping clear Of all of them. Other manu-
factureTs, who have not given tie matter
careful attention. and who are pushing ON
with the manufacture of infringing mag
neto-bells. are one by one receiving notice
of infringement, ard are being sued and
enjoined.

Germs the public, who are peering eagerly
into this legal haze in the nope of discover
ing some promise of cheaper telephone ser
vice. is the prospective attitude of the
American Bell Telephone Company. This

Gen. Jones and Ii Hung Chang were off

that, Lis long face broaden>d into a smile,
and he asked Gen. Jones what he thought

backward Of men. but he concluded to feel
his way before replying. He said:

to answer. Do you want me to say what
I really think. or shall I answer YOU as

sallow and finally burst out laughing and
said:

were right.
