BERLIN, Feb. 10,-The body of Hon.
Theodore Rnnyon, late United States
ambassador to Germany, was removed
from the vault, where it has temporarily
rested since the funeral services. and
forwarded to Bremen, where It will be
placed on board the steamer Havel, for
New York. The coffin and the wreaths
which were placed upon it were en-
cased in strongly made boxes.
At the last moment the authorities
stated that If the emperor had known
of the plans of the family for the re-
moval of the body his majesty would
undoubtedly have ordered military
parade from the vault to the station
similar to that which accompanied the
body of Lord Ampthill, the British ann
bassador, who died in Berlin in 1884.

The Chance of o Lifetime.

The man who wishes to take short
cut to fame and fortune has now, says
the Chicago Record. the chance of his
life before him. The crying need In the
telephone business is a talk-meter, an
automatic arrangement by which lam
guage can be measured of and recorded
in specific lengths. The telephone ex-
change people say that the garrulity
of some Of their subscribers Is appalling
and that the trouble Is not confined to
one sex. The sounds of their voices In
the telephone transmitter has for some
people a great fascination. and they
will be ringing up central all day If
they can find the most trivial pretext.
The telephone companies say that in
this way large amount of work Is un-
duly thrown on the exchange employees.
They hold that the fault is with the
system ard that II people could be
made to pay according to the number
and length of their calls they would
make more temperate and legitimate
use Of the instrument. Philadelphia Is
approaching the idea. The Bell tele-
phone company there gives what Is
called measured service. the inca sure
ment" being determined by the number
Of calls and connections. each five min
utes conversation or fraction thereof
being counted call. This gives SUBJ
scribers rates In proportion to the use
of their instruments. Some such meth
DDS as this will have to come into gem
eral use II the abuse of the telephone Is
to be arrested. Seven hundred and fifty
million telephone messages were sent
over the wires last year. averaging
about ten messages to every man. wo-
