THE WORLDS TELEGRAPH.
Sixty Telegraph Companies Have a
Clearing House at Berne.

Although thousands Of miles Of line
were In operation before 1865, the world
telegraph as Il exists today dates from
that time and from a convention held
in Paris to adopt regulations for in
ternational telegraphlc operations.
Previously. IN sending a message from
one country to another delays were
encountered which made the telegraph
little more expeditions than the post.
In travelling across Europe a message
not only occupied an eXasperating
amount Of time, but also accumulated
an appalling list OF charges reckoned
I'm different Kinds OF money for each
country Il had passed through. These
charges could not be paid in advance.
because the amount Of them was not
known az the point from which the
message was sent IL may be imagined
that under such conditions the tele-
graph was not generally employed In
transacting business.
From the point OF view OF the pri-
vate citizen, the most important work
done by the Paris convention was TO
arrange a uniform schedule Of tele-
graphic rates, and TO provide that mes
sages might be sent in code, or secret
language, II desired. Arrangements
weI ikewise made for the more rapid
trai mission of international messages.
AS a result OF the work OF this and
succeeding conventions, we have the
marvei0usly intricate yet simple system
OF sending telegraphic messages which
prevails today Il Is possible now to
send a message from any village that
can boast a telegraph Office 10 any
other point in the world that is reached
by the farspreadlng maze 81 wires.
Moreover, the sender may feel assured
that this message will 20 forward
quickly, and II requires but a moment
for the clerk 10 inform him as 10 its
exact cost,
Considering that the ownership Of
the various telegraph and cable lines
