The Best relephoned city.

What is the best telephoned city in
the world? San Francisco seems to be
the answer. In that city, with popu-
lation Of 342,7S2, there are 21,324 tele-
phones, or sixty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to its 312,S59 Of population,
equal to forty-nine per thousand. In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very un-
favorably with these figures. At the
beginning Of this year there were A.
Ill telephones to population of more
than 5,500.COO. or proportion of sew
en- to every thousand people. New
York, with population Of 1850, 900.
had 54,647 instruments, or twenty-sFx
