WIN Decrease the Cost and Do Away
with Operators.
An invention is now being OK
hibited in New York, which it is
claimed will have all the advantages
of private line without any of the
disadvantages, and will dispense
with operators at the exchange.
The new telephone has a switch
with fifty or more numbers on 1t,
and to call subscriber it is neces-
sary only to puta plug in the hole
corresponding TO the subscriber s
number and turn the switch, when
he is called up instantly without
disturbing the bells of any of the
other subscribers On the line. The
present private-line system requires
the ringing of all the bells on the
line one, two or more times, accord
ing to the number wanted. Under
the existing system it is necessary
to have two wires from the central
Office for each subscriber, while the
new telephone viii require only five
or six wires for q hundred or more.
the idea being that there will always
be a wire not in use. The telephone
is switched automatically to this
wire, and if ali are in use the mech
anism is 50 arranged that it will
make a metallic circuit on the first
unused wire It will not, however,
cut in on busy wire.
A company has been formed
which intends to- begin the use in
small towns and villages where the
Bell system by reason Of its cost can
not be maintained. Where under
the present method ten thousand
wires would be required under the
new less than 500 win furnish the
same service with greater prompt
ness.

THE sEARCaER.

The searcher after truth is generally re-
warded, although it is said that "Truth lies
at the bottom of we'll" We need some
thing when we are afflicted with neuralgia
to search out the seat of the pain, or the
pain spot, and as st. Jacobs Oils mission
for good is to penetrate and search out the
hidden misery, it goes through like an
'X'' ray, and conquers and subdues the
pain. All pain trouble of a nervous ma
ture needs careful treatment and patience.
The afflicted nerves must be soothed into
submission, and stimulated into healthful
action, so as to restore. This is the virtue
of the great remedy for pain, and it is,
therefore, well known as the best. It may
be called the searchlight after the truth of
our bodily ailments.
