A COMING EMANCIPATION.

A busy man remarke ed, the other day
that, if the telephone has saved
such lots of time, he would like to
know what had become of the time
s;is ed There's a good deal in this In.
uuiry. The more time-saving devices
we set at work the buster we become.
The telephone has proved peculiarly
interesting from many points of view.
In way it resembles the mail or the
telegraph in that anybody who chooses
can address anybody else whom he
Wishes to speak to. But as the pri-
yate secretary has come in to open the
letters SO the telephone in the major
lty Of cases is no longer answered by
the person called for, but by someone
assigned to that particular duty. This
is leading to complications. 1t is given
out that in a good many Offices in the
large cities people called for refuse to-
attend to calls from office boys. 1t
has been customary for Mr. Smith
wanting Mr. Jones, to tell his Office
boy to call Jones, and then, after the
boy has Jones well hooked, he tells
him to wait a minute and goes off to
find Smith, who comes when he is
ready All this time jones is kept on
the string and he does not know what
for.
The statement is that the Joneses,
the people called for. have decided that
is it is important enough for them to
be at the telephone, 1T Is also important
enough for the man who wants them
to be there, too, and be there first, and
that they themselves will answer no
more office boys This declaration of
rights has a sensible sound to it, It
savors of q wider emancipation that
may be accomplished for all of us.
There is an atmosphere Of its own to
every trade. The telephone employees
naturally assume that the people who
use their wires have nothing to do but
talk. The wires are to serve conversa-
ton and those who use them are con
verse1's. The idea that talking Is an
incident and that people have other
things to do is vet to be itculcated AS
things are now. the general operator
calls velaelnenNy, and then, when
you give acceptable verbal assurances

Exceptionally Cool in Contrast to Sum

That this summer. has been excep-

mean temperature was 90 degrees,
1899, II degrees; 1900. II degrees;
1901, n degrees; 1902, 6S degrees. The
normal temperature of June for the
last 32 years has been SO degrees. In
June, 1881, the mean temperature was
only "a. In July of this year the mean
temperature was IA degrees or four de-
grees less than the mean temperature
of July. 1901, and two less than that of
July, 1900 In July, 1895, the mean
temperature was n; for the same
month In 1884 it twas 70. During July,
1902. the maximum temperature
reached 90 or above on two dates only,
while in July, 1901, it attained that
mark on nine dates. July i, 2, and 8.
