WONDERS OF THE LONG-DlS-
LANCE TELEPHONE.
BY the Use of Prof. Bells Invention
Forty Millions of People in the
United states Are Now Within
Speaking Distance Of Each Other.


III ~
BY the use of the long-distance tele-
phone 40.000.000 people are within
speaking distance of each other within
the United States. Science has nothing
more remarkable to offer than this
achievement. When Alexander Ora
ham Bell sat down at the instrument in
New York and installed the service be-
tween that city and Chicago he had
linked the people together i'll Il BOND
closer than anything else could have
done. There is satisfaction in writing
TO the distant friend. There IS comfort
IN reading the letters that friend writes.
There is Il better pleasure in the ines

There is a in the telegraph
when the stroke of trouble or the rush
Of business makes communication i'm
perative. But there is nothing like the
sound Of Il human voice in friendship.
nor the personal spoken assurance OF Il
business correspondent.
In 1876 Professor Bell exhibited to the
public 1T the centennial exposition in
Philadelphia his patented telephone in
strument. 1t was the beginning OF Il
new era. That the human voice could
be projected to a distance seemed one
of the marvels OF the age. And ii was.
But that modest beginning held small
promise of the astonishing results that
have followed. Yet the beginning was
Il foreshadOWing of Il greater occasion;
for if voices could be heard half a mile.
why no ten miles: An. If 50 far. why
not for Il hundred? 1t is likely there
WAS Il limit Z in speculation. But
that limit has constantly grown until
to-day there is Il direct telephone COM
munication between both places
and Pulaski. Tenn. which is far
down toward the Alabama hOr-
der. And within this triangle.

city and almost every town. And as
the greater portion Of the population

thar tW"-;Airds Of al the people in the

In Chicago alone there are 1900 long
distance telephones. for every telephone
connected with the central aay be
switched at once on the long-diStancc
wire. and a man may sit in his office
and speak as To Il man across the room
with Il man in New York. or in Il New
England town, or in the SUMMER cities
of The South.
In a great many business houses there
are what are known as long-diStance
booths. They are simply little rooms

but that no one along the line will hear
him. There are but two persons in the
world to whom the substance of that
talk is known. and they are the two
who were intended 10 know it.
There are a good many towns ont of
Chicago where the old style Of wire is
still in use. and these are. for all Drac-
teal purposes. deprived of the use of
the long-diStance service. 1t is impoS-
sible to get good results with any but
the double metallic wire. which is used
by the long-distance people. But. as
the old-fashioned grounded wires are
fast passing out of use all over the
country and as the copper wire is being
substituted in their place. the time is
not far distant when the long-distance
service will be cOextenSive with the dis.
tribution of the telephone from ocean
to ocean.
In q business way the benefit IS
plain. A patron may be assured he is
getting the person for whom he calls
so that a contract made over the wir,
will be as binding as if made nearer a,
