LONDON TELEGRAMS.
New Scheme of IntercOmm unic ca ion
Between Metropolitan Offices.
London Chronicle.

London Chronicle.
A new and important ARRANGEMENT for
the transmission of kilograms in the metro
politan area, which embraces the whole of
Greater London. will shortly come into OPP
Grafton at the central telegraph office.
Hitherto it has been impossible for one
outlying office within the metropolitan area
to communicate direct with any other out
lying office, no matter how long or short
the distance, and no two offices had suffi-
Gent interchange of kilograms TO Justify
exclusive wire being maintained be-
tween them The system now being grad
ually introduced owes its inception to Mr.
j. c. Lamb, the second secretary of the
post office, who for long time has been at
the head of the telegraphic department.
1t is combination of an improved tele-
phone switchboard and service signals
with the existing Morse telegraphs. A few
years ago Mr.. Lamb saw something OF the
kind working in Belgium; in fact even in
England the switching. of smaller offices
onto main lines was in force when the gov
eminent took over the telegraphs in 1870,
but as the traffic grew it was bound to be
too cumbersome, and was therefore abol-
ished. Recently Mr.. Gavey, engneer-n-
chief and Mr.. Trenam, now controller at
the central telegraph office. accompanied
by Mr.. Purvis, of the engineer-in-chief
department, made careful inquiries on the
spot as to the possibilities OF the Belgian
system.
At present all messages from one part of
London to another have to be retransmitted
at the central telegraph office. Under the
new system this complicated work and con-
sequent delay will be avoided. Each tele-
graph office in the metropolitan area will
have number. If an Office, say, at Islng-
ton, has a message for Clapham, the oper-
ator at Islington will touch a special indi-
Gator key, on top of which a white star
will Immediately appear. The touching of
the key also lights small glow lamp under
Islington'S number on the switchboard at
the central telegraph office. The operator
at the switchboard inserts a plug so as to
connect with Islington, and that actuates
the indicator key and the white star disap-
pears, thus informing the operator at Is
lington that his call is being answered.
Then he replies by telegraphing the num-
Der of the Clapham office, and the central
operator. by switching in the ordinary
way, connects Islington with Chaplain and
the message is thereupon transmitted direct
from Office to the other. When the
message has been transmitted both offices
depress their indicator key, which lights
clearing lamp at the central office, when
the operator at once disconnects.
Ii is intended TO introduce this system
gradually, and for the present only 13s
Offices, or about one-quarter of the total
in the metropolitan area, are being included
| in the experiment. The whole system. IL
| may be mentioned, viii be worked by one
set Of accumulation batteries at the central
| office.

PURCHASE OF BEAUvOIR.
How the Fund for the Confederate
SOIdierx' Home Was Raised.


"Beauvoir. the post-belium home of JEFF
ferson Davis, is to be made home for
Confederate veterans, and the first contri-
button for the purpose was made at my
suggestion and through my efforts, said
Willis L. Hall. of Denver.
81 have spent the last two years in the
South, and last winter was at Meridian,
Miss. Along in December the Daughters
of the Confederacy and Daughters of Con-
federate Veterans decided TO try to raise
$1,000 to buy Beauvoir from Mrs. Davis.
She had been offered live times that sum
for the property by other parties. but re-
fused 10 sell. However, she was willing to
turn Ii over TO the Confederate organiZa-
tons for $4,000 on condition that 1T should
be preserved and used as home for the
veterans, or some similar purpose. When
the announcement was made that the wom-
en- would try to raise the money L was a
member of the Meridian Typographical
Union AT a meeting held in December L
proposed that the organization should con-
tribute s. TO the fund. The suggestion was
adopted and the money placed III the hands
of the executive committee to De turned
over TO the proper parties.
For some reason or other the women
made no attempt TO raise the money, and
matters rested in statu quo until the Sons
Of Confederate Veterans held their en-
campment AT Meridian in March. The boys
adopted strong set or resolutions, pledg-
ing their best efforts 10 raise the money 10
buy Beauvoir and. establish a Confederate
veterans home. 1t was announced at the
time that more than fifty of these old SOL
diers who wore the gray were in the poor
houses of the State.
Next morning. after the resolutions had
been adopted. L called a meeting or the
executive committee of our organization
and told the members now was the time TO
send in the money. They agreed A letter
was prepared calling attention TO the fact
that Mrs Hayes. of Colorado Springs, a
daughter OF Jefferson Davis. had fitted up
a room In the Printers Home as memo
rial 10 her father. and the sentiment was
expressed that the printers of Meridian
desired TO reciprocate In a measure the rec.
ognition given the national organization
The letter and contribution were given
10 a delegate. and he presented them at the
morning session. When the missive was
read there was enthusiastic cheering.
Within half q minute several more con-
trtbutions were handed in, and thus the
fund started. The newspapers and Confed-

ITALY CROSSING HEARING
Both Roads are in Favor Of the
Overhead Crossing.

At Austin Saturday morning the
railroad commission took up the
question of the manner Of crossing
of the International and Great
Northern on its Fort Worth extern
sion and the Katy at Italy.
Both roads were in favor OF the
overhead crossing, providing the
Katy would depress its tracks three
feet, and the International and
Great Northern bear the cost OF de-
preston. Mr.. r. C.. Mitchell and
George w, Hamlet, both of Italy,
protested against the overhead eros
sing on account of the intended
crossing being in the center OF the
town, and seriously interfering with
one or two business streets. They
both stated that IA majority of the
citizens Of Italy favored grade
crossing. The commission took the
question under adyisement. The
international and Great Northern
was represented by General Attor-
ney Stedman, G hi ef Engineer
Tramlnell and the interests of the
Katy were looked after by Judge
Alexander, ef Dallas, and Chief En-
gineer j. w Petheram.

Quick BOiler-Making.

A modern boiler shop is far differ
ent from it's eongener of half CEN
tury ago, in that, for one thing, the
methods of construction have been
greatly simplified and improved tools
are in more general use. These last
have also reduced costs so much
that an old-timer revisiting the shop
would stare in amazement at what
is now possible. 1t is not generally
known that a boiler of forty horse
power can be made and shipped in
about eight hours. That Is to say,
If an order is put in by seven O'Clock
in the morning it can be on the way
to it's destination by three O'Clock
on the same day, ready for steam
when set. This boiler Will be taken
from the fiat sheets, rolled to di-
mensions, all rivets driven, tubes
set and rolled, and the work made
water and steam-tight within the
time named; but it will be of the re-
turn-tubular type, where no smith
work or Hanging is required. This
is quick work, and / know of one
shop where it Is done; doubtless
there are Others. rs.-Engineering Mag
azine.
