THE oTHER poNKRY.

In the early days of the third empire
the chief of the Paris omnibus service,
an ardent horseman, appeared On the
Bots de Boulogne driving a maflcoach,
drawn by six spanking horses. He was
notified that only the emperor was en-
titled to indulge in the luxury Of a six
horse equipage- So a few days later he
astonished the Parisians by toolinz
along the Bots with the same coach,
drawn by four very small horses ana
two large donkeys.
The next day he was commanded to
appear before the emperor, who was
really fond of him. After some general
conversation, Napoleon said, I hear.

States occupied 81 minutes in transmits
sion.
The sending of a telegraphic cable
message at best is comparatively slow
work, for the cable has to be charged
at each click of the key, and every
time the current is temporarily ex-
hausted. Professor Pupin illustrates
what the electricians call the sscapaci-
ty'' of the cable by bringing up the
smile of blowing into rubber bag
which has hole at the other end. The
wind viii begin to escape only when the
bag is filled, and, similarly, the cable
has to be charged every time at the
sending end to its full capacity before
the current is felt at the receiving end.
What he has done, at least theoretical
", has been toward reducing the Ca
pacity'' SO that message may be
transmitted rapidly and clearly. In
brief, he has cleared the track of all
Instructions. This was accomplished
by taking the elements of Impotence
in an ordinary telephone or telegraph
line and balancing them against each
other so that their effect is neutralized
and clear passage left for the trans
mission of electrical waves
The manner in which this is done is
by the inserting of induction coils -
one coil every eighth of a mile on ca
bles and one every mile on land lines.
These coils act as relays for the cleo
trica1 waves and sustain the energy,
while permitting greater rapidity of
transmission with relatively the same
current. Now that it has been explain
ed, the wonder is that it was not
thought of before, for the theory is not
so novel as to appear startling to cleo
tricians. The professor claims to be
able to effect an ultimate saving of
more than 100000 on each land circuit
of a thousand miles or SO. though he
admits that the first cost of laying
down a cable or of inserting the induc-
ton coils into an old one will be enor-
nous. However. that is a minor mat
ter, for it is Acknowledged that the pro-
spective profits of the first successful
telephone line to Europe or between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Unit
ed States will be worth the while
In person Professor Pupin is of me-
dunn height, but athletic build. with
dark complexion and black hair and
mustache. His age is about IS years,
five of which he has devoted to working
out the invention that has insured him
q competency for the rest of his life
and which has proved so startling to
the scientific world.

THE oft repeated statement that in
