HELLO GIRL MUST DEPART

A very significant innovation is a
telephone system that does away with
central In practicable and success
full operation in Fall River. Mass. is
a telephone exchange providing an
automatic arrangement whereby the
subscriber, by revolving a disk-some-
what like the disk Of a combination
safe-until it checks off the number
he wishes to call for, ''rings up'' the
number, says Worlds Work. Bring
ing the combination" to the first num-
Der in the series he wishes causes a
switch in the "central' exchange TO
swing to a certain group of contacts.
the next number narrows the selection
to certain number of contacts in the
group; the last brings it to the identi-
cal spot required. The caller then
pushes button and the connection is
established. If the line is busy buzz-
ing noise gives him warning The
calls come in first to the larger trunk
lines, Of course, and thus it might he
expected that the apparatus would be
often busy, since one call would shut
on accessibility to many numbers in
the trunk line, but an ingenious con-
causes the current to pass bv
the trunk lines that are busy till if
comes to one not in use, so that the
system would fail to work only when
all the trunk lines of selectors were
busy. Even then the buzzed warming
would indicate that the caller would
nave to wait only until one of ten ner-
sons had finished talking.
The cost of maintaining the me-
part of the system has not
increased. The system economies in
wages, for, with the exception of
necessary bookkeepers and a few al
to see that things run on
without bitches, a force of work
people is not required. Indeed on
sunday and during the night while the
exchange is locked the Instruments
continue making their connections
without supervision Privacy and
;heapness are also secured.

The Russian people have long been
IN the habit of adding to the titles of

ol1zed, might have been claimed with
more justice by the present emperor:
put, as it is, Nicholas II will have TO

magnitude. Compared with manv of
the schemes which are now BEING

the Slbedian railway shrinks into in
significance; and whether these
schemes are destined to be carried ont
IN the Immediate future, or. as is more
probable, only after the lapse of MANY
years, most of them are well worthy
of description.
All these projects, as might be ex-
pected from Russia's peculiar position
are concerned primarily with water
ana not with land. 1t is commonplace
TO say that ever since the time of
feter the Great, Russia's dominant
interest has been to extend in every
direction toward the open sea. That
ambition has now been Accommodated
on every side except one: for short of
a great political CONFUSION, the Per

which Russia is likely to obtain an
influence. Yet, in spite of the yerv

main outlets into Chrome tho po1+;o

her extreme northern ports have dis
advantages which no political changes

FLOWERS.

Not like you gave them! They are
whitening now,
But something fingers of remem-
| bered grace
A touch, a tone-the beauty of your
face,
And waits of dark locks clustering
DER your brow.
Fore heaven, It's something in this
| world of strife,
To find this color coming from the
clod,
To know there is one woman in this
| life
Who knows a violet is the breath of
God.
Who reaps rare roses from dim wales
of rest,
From all the terror of the world
apart,
And while the red thorn bruises her
dear breast,
Hides it within the cIoisters of her
heart
Give me the violets and the lilies
white;
The lilies, with their languor, still
and deep.
Give me the dews that make the
daisies white,
Give me the peoples that are fain of
sleep.
Give me the dreamsl And LET me
think the skies
Arched in great blue, or darkening
from above,
Ia all their gloom-in all their mys-
terieS-
Hold no name dearer than the name
of Loyei
