TeIephOne Wires.

When you say "heEo" to Central do
you know that you talk over 1900 feet. or
one-half mile, of copper wire before the
sound Of your voice is transmitted from the
telephone box? 1t is a fact that in each tele-
phone there is 2.900 feet of fine wire. You
see, the phone is composed of three parts.
First, the ringing apparatus then the
uansmftter and last the ear trumpet or re-
ceiver. In the first two small cords about
the size of a No. 40 spool of thread i'm
mediately behind the bells. each containing
SEQ feet and in the magnetic or ringing ma
chlne is another coil. containing 200 feet
making in all 2.2G0 feet. In the second part
is a coil OF the same size Of wire. No. 80. q
about the size OF No 60 thread which con- d
tains 500 feet. In the receiver is 200 feetir
more. making in all $500 feet. In the tele-al
phone exchange we have 1900 Instruments
With 1900 feet in each the total would
make $50 600 feet of very fine wire In use
in the telephones of this city alone Figuring
$3.50 feet to the mile. it would make slightly
over 1S1 miles of wire as fine as a. thread
This wire is insulated or shielded with two
thicknesses of extremely fine silk thread and
is an item of considerable expense as the
spocls or coils are easily burned out There is
an equal amount of wire contained in coils

makes 1862 miles.-G o b Year Book and

SAUER is A MASTER.
Boston People Wild with Enthusi-
asIn After Hearing Him.

OF Sauer's recital. given recently in
the Music hall, critic in The Musical
Courier says: The Music hall was
packed to every available bit of stand
ing room. No such huge audience has
gathered there to listen to a pianist
since the height of the Paderewski
fever. There is nothing to be said of
the artist that cannot be couched in
superlatives of praise He is, certain
quisteY beautiful In it's clearness. it's
graceful and swift fiuency, its perfec-
ton of touch, its limpid delicacy, it's
control over every gradation between
piano and pianissimo. and it's fairly
wonderful pianissmo itself. His canta-
bile is of the purest. warmeSt and most
appealing. The scope of his technic
seems to be without limitation.
Perhaps the most convincing ex-
qualification of his faultless finger
capacity was given in his performance
of the Schumann TOccata. He took it
at an amazingly rapid pace and turned
it squarely and deliberately into a
mere vehicle for the display of ex-
treme and marvellous virtuosity, but
every phrase came out distinctly and
with the brilliancy of polished crystal.
His playing of the Chopin Boero will
not be forgotten readily by anyone
who heard it. In all the finer charac-
teristics of style, technical and other
wise, it was wonderfully beautiful. In
fact, his Chopin playing throughout
was captivating in its elegant finish
and its freedom from affectation
The overWorked Nocturne for once
was presented without sicllly senti-
mentalism and with a frank straight
forWardneSS that impaired to it almost
the flavor of newness. A fiery and
splendid performance of the Etude re-
suited in a furious encore-a true Bos-
tonian encore. resounding to the roof
for it is the fashion to applaud genius
vociferously-in response to which the
same composers A fiat valse was Civ
en- with incOmparably fluent sparkle
The resources of the artists tech
mic were brilliantly set forth in his own
Etude. Its affiuence of fiorituri it's
profusion of trills and scale passa ges,
its moments of pianiSsimo. and its
rapid tempo afforded opportunities for
Sauer to display to the utmost those
phases of his art in finger gymnastics
and expressions in which he excels sur
passingly.
His Boston audience-and that is
saying much-lost its head over him.
and there was another encore. A
superb performance of the LisZt Rhap-
sody brought the concert to a fitting
| close. There was then frenzied scene
of enthusiasm. and he was recalled and
recalled until he played two or three
more pieces
Hearken, st. Paul music lovers, to
this, and when the immortal Sauer ap-
| pears in our midst next Monday even
ing at the Peoples church, don't begin
to put on coats and hats as soon as
the last chords die away. but by a
rousing applause bring him to the
piano again and again, and show your
appreciation of his wonderful genius.
