BY the Use of Prof. Belle Invention
Forty Miflions Of People In the
United States Are Now Within
Speaking Distance Of Zach Other.


Linked by q Copper Wire.
BY the use OF the long-distance tele-
phone 100000 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 Mt the instrument In
New York and installed the service be-
tween that city and Chicago he had
linked the people together In 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 better pleasure In the mes
sage some mutual acquaintance brings
us from that loved one far away.
There is resource 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 a human voice in friendship,
nor the personal spoken assurance'of
business correspondent.
In 1876 Professor Bell exhibited to the
public at the centennial exposition in
Philadelphia his patented telephone in
strument. 1t was the beginning Of a
new era. That the human voice could
be projected to distance seemed one
Of the marvels of the age. And 1t was.
But that modest beginning held small
promise Of the astonishing results that
have followed. Yet the beginning was
a foreshadowing Of a greater occasion;
for IL voices could be heard half mile,
why not ten miles? And il so far, why
not for a hundred? 1t is likely theyc
was a limit even in speculation. But
that limit has constantly grown until
to-day there Is direct telephone COM
munication between both places
and Pulaski, Tenn, which is far
down toward the Alabama bor-
der. And within this triangle,
between what is for the pres
ent the limits of the service, there are
means Of INSTRUMENTATION, in every
city and almost every town. And as
the greater portion Of the population
Of the country lies east Of the Rocky
Mountains, it is no exaggeration to say
that two-thirds of all the people in the
country are within easy speaking dis
lance OF each other.
In Chicago alone there are 1000 long
distance telephones, for every telephone
connected with the central may be
switched at once on the long-distance
wire, and man may sit In his office
