A WATCH has been invented which
measures distance by sound. The in-
ventor, French officer named Thou.
ivenin, has called the instrument a
tph9notelemetre. To operate it a little
button is pressed at the instant of the
flash and again at the sound. In the
meantime a needle traverses dial,
registering time to the one-tenth part
,of second. The rest is mere matter
of calculation.

tropics is an extraordinary plant. Its
seeds are distributed by birds, and
should one drop and lodge in tree it
will germinate there and send long
root to the ground, whence it can
draw nourishment. 1t then rapidly
spreads in growth over the unfortun-
ate tree, which soon dies.

'sOld Prob" and a newspaper man can
not make a mistake without the public
noticing and commenting upon it. When
they are right, which they are in the ma
jority Of instances, no comments are made.
The public expects infallibiIity and only
grumbles when it chances to find they are
human. Some grumbler has said that
| the weather bureau although 1T predicted
the approach of the last cold wave thirty
six hours before 1t arrived could not pre-
vent the damage to small fruits and to the
vegetation that the untiInely hot wave
lured to destruction. OF course the
weather bureau could not provide shelter
for the premature blossoms but the accu-
racy Of its prediction called attention to
the fact that it is correct in the great ma
iority of instances. This fact being con-
coded, as it must be, the conclusion is in
evitable that 1t accomplishes vast
amount Of benefit in the course of a year.

Concerning developments in the tele-
phone business throughout the country
the Electrical Engineer last week says:
"The independent telephone companies
and interests are manifcsting good deal
of activity these early summer days.
Exact statistics are not likely to be OBJ
tainable for some time to come as to the
Investment in the industry, outside of the
bell exchanges, but 1t Is obvious that sew
eral million dollars are already pledged.
while probably one or two millions at
least have already been spent. That this
is so Is shown by the fact that the Harri-
son system is reported to be in use at
over 100 exchanges, with parent organi-
zation In 81 states. The Western Tele-
phone Construction Company has also a
list of two score exchanges; and this by
no means exhausts the roll call of indie
pendent 'centrals.' Moreover, no one can
keep track of the isolated interior work.
Telephones are being installed by the
cartload In every part of tho Union; and
even should the Berliner decision be re
versed 1t would be a heroulean task t.
get matters back to the old condition, and
all the new apparatus out Of the way. On
the contrary, 1t would appear that the
telephone outbreak is not yet by any
means at its height"
