to pass sometime in moulting. To pro-

Revolution In Telephone Switching.

The electrical patents recently granted
70 Milo G. Kellogg of Chicago. have
caused furry of excitement in cleo
trical circles. The number of patents.
125. is the largest ever issued at one time
to one inventor and they all relate to
switch boards for telephone exchanges.
1t is understood that they cover the most
modern switch board practice. and while
founded on the multiple system. they are
entirely Independent of all former switch
board patents. The inventor is at the
head of the Kellogg Switch Board and
Supply Company, with offices a 21S La
Sale street. In all there are over 1900
claims made for the 12o patents. One of
the most startling is that the new system
will permit of the handling Of 50 600 lines
i'll one main office and with infinitely bet
ter service than is now given. Heretofore
the capacity for one office has been 5000
lines. At present the company of which
Mr.. Kellogg is the head is manufacturing
Il switch board for use in St. Louis. which
is to operate 5000 lines from one Office and
has Il capacity of 20,G0 lines. Some idea
of what this means can be CLEANED when
il is considered that the main telephone
Office in Chicago operates only 5000 lines
With the new Kellogg system every
branch office which the company has to
maintain in this city can be done away
with and every line of the vast system can
be handled from the one main office with
better results financially to the company
and with better and more perfect service
for patrons. Mr.. Kellogg has been ten
years perfecting his patents The fees for
the entire number amounted to $4i75. Mr.
Kellogg is AZ years old and received his
education at the Rochester University.
Rochester, N. Y. AT the time he attend
ed college there was little instruction Civ
en- in electricity. Mr.. Kellogg absorbed
what there was to be had at college and
then came to Chicago and went in the en-
ploy of Gray. Barton & Co., manufacture
ers of electrical devices. His interest in
the work grew. and when the Western
Electric Company was formed he was
given an important position and soon be-
came the manager. Through this COM
pany's connection with the Central Tele-
phone Company Mr.. Kellogg became
greatly interested in the switch board
system in use by telephone companies.
From that time Mr. Kellogg has bent his
inventive faculties toward the perfection
of a switch board system which would
leave little to be wished for. and the 125
patents represent the sum total of his la
bors in this direction.

Canine ConstabuIary.

We have frequently urged on the
county authorities of this State during
the past few years the eXpediency OF
the plan of keeping few track hounds
at some convenient point in each coun-
ty, not only to trace actual criminals,
who cannot be followed by any other
means, but to deter the criminally dis
posed from the commission of con-
templated crimes by the assurance
which the presence of the dog detec-
tives affords that they will be speedily
followed and caught if they give effect
to their evil inclinations The sugges-
ton has been enforced on several oc-
casions by reports of good service rem
dered by the dogs in the few counties
where they are kept, and some very
convincing testimony of the same char
acter is added by our Florence cor
respondent in his letter published yes
terday. After narrating how the mere
arrival of the dogs at Chadbourn had
caused an unknown burglar to betray
himself by attempted flight, he adds:
Mayor Day received a telegram
yesterday from ]. W. Cherry of Will
son, N. c., requesting that the blood
hounds owned by the city of Florence
be sent to that place by first train.
Just what they were wanted for has
not been learned. These man trailers
have been used considerably of late by
the authorities in North Carolina for
running down criminals. and they
have been very successful Florence,
Of course, gets good pay for them
whenever they are used for any other
purpose than running down criminals
within the city limits. 1t has been
great thing for Florence, having these
trailers on hand, for it has reduced
burglary and incendiarism very nearly
100 per cent. during the time they have
been here. These dogs are the same
ones that ran down a murderer near
Hub, N. c., last year, and ran down
Edgar Purvis, the tramp who shot
Flagman Blackwell on a Coast Line
train at Dunn, N. c., about two weeks
ago. They are sent anywhere upon
receipt Of telegram with assurances
that the prices will be paid for their
services 1880
The lively demand for the animals
from neighboring counties is evidence
enough OF their successful services
heretofore. and proves that they are
regarded as useful police institution
they should be as useful in every
county. a w
The most important testimony to
their value. however, is afforded in the
statement as to the effect of their
presence in reducing crime. The mere
