It's journey unaided after II has re-

which is so small that 1t cannot be de-
tected. But that initial impulse will
carry the word many hundred miles,
and in this fact is found one of the
greatest of the wonders of telephony.
To the layman who never stops to
think of IL particularly, getting a long
distance call for a subscriber may
seem just as simple a process for the
company as making a local connection;
but after following the New Workers.
conversation to st. Louis he can under
stand that II is not an entirely simple
matter. If two copper wires were
strung side by side without a break
between the two cities and 1t were
possible to telephone directly over them
IT would be less difficult. AS matter
of fact. however, the message passes
over FIVE distinct circuits between the
transmitter in the East and the re-
ceiver in the West-fve circuits ar
ranged in tandem, as the Bell people
say. The circuits are united. like
links in chain. at switching stations
just outside the cities OF Pittsburg,
Columbus, indianapolis, and Terre
Haute. Each switching station has
its switchboard and other apparatus
through which the message must make
its way. but these obstacles cannot be
eliminated, as there must be junction
points in the long distance lines,
places where messages may be turn
ed from one route to another.
The Bell managers early saw the
NJ diafa
cation. and began joining line to line
and making equipment and apparatus
capable of harmonious operations. The
result of their efforts is a long dis
tance system far more extensive and
efficient than that OF any other coun-
try Speech has been transmitted over
these lines for a distance of nearly
1000 miles, and 1t has been shown
that If 1t were possible TO stretch a
from one side of the continent to the
other, the Atlantic could talk with the
Pacific by telephone.
To make communication feasible over
long distances, 1t has been found nee
essary that all parts of the amalga-
mated plant, so to speak. should be of
uniformly high standard of construc-
ton. and for this reason II is not prac-
ticable to create a satisfactory cross
country telephone system by Joining
together/a number of little local plants
built in many divers ways and equip
ped with instruments of many patterns.
1t Is chiefly the uniformity maintained
by all the associated organizations that
has made the present Bell long distance
service possible
When you telephone your customer,
or your tradesman. or your friend in
the suburbs, the central Office with
which your telephone is connected calls
the central with which his is connect
ed and II takes but a moment to es-
tablish conversation by word Of mouth,

so to speak. 1t is evident, though, that
IL this method were used in making
long distance calls 1t would be tremen-
dously expensive. and what really hap
pens is that while somebody else Is
using the line for talking, the New
Workers. call-the number he wishes
and the name of the individual he
wants to talk with--is telegraphed
over the same wires that convey the
the peculiarities of electricity that this
can be done without either message
interfering with the other.
Whether you are making a thousand
mile call or one of only $50 miles. the
process is the same. The girl who
answers when you lift of the receiver
passes the details OF your call along
to the long distance operator In another
part of the central office, and by Long
Distance" the telegraph message is
sent AS soon as the subscriber for
whom you ask is ready to talk. more

that everything is ready for the con-
versation to, begin.
The telephone Is an American inven-
ton and its use has been brought near
est to perfection in this country. There
are some particularly curious points of
difference in the long distance service
here and abroad. And Englishman,
for instance pays for the time used in
putting him in communication with the
person he calls for, while In America
the charge is regulated by the length
of the actual conversation. Again the
British subscriber is often called upon
to pay for the time spent in an I'M
successful attempt to give him the use
of the lines. while in this country no
charge is made unless communication
is established.

The Fulton Centennial.

Fronting by former experiences In
the matter Of celebrations in not hav-
ing thing ready on time-for instance,
the Columbus, Dewey and other arairs-
New York has already commenced pre-
paratIns toward the celebration of the
centennial of the sailing of the first
steamboat on the Hudson. This will
be in 1907. and is to be an suspicious
event. Steps have been taken toward
building a facsimile of the Clermont,
at first sneeringly dubbed "Fulton's
Folly" but which turned out to be
Robert Fulton's Joy and pride when
she successfully padded her way to
Albany and back in four days time.
Steamboat development within the last
century has been so wonderful that
1t is fitting to commemorate the in
ventions of Fulton and John Fitch in
as big blowout as steam and money
can devise.

clustering river traffic and finally comes
out again to the light Of day in Jersey
City, where, for the first time, 1t is

suspended from the cross-arms of huge
poles.
Now its Journey becomes easier, for
! the copper thread hung in mid-air Of
fers less resistance to the passage of
the message than do the crowded con-
fines of the many wired conduit. In
deed, such a difference does this make
that whenever 1t approaches a large
city a long distance telephone line
passes around the densely populated
sections so that 1t may stay above
ground, a little switching station being
provided to accommodate IL. But at
each station It must pass through the
switchboard with its lightning arrest
ers and other paraphernalia-
Down over the New Jersey meadows
and pine lands the little word Hello"
hurries to ascend the Alleghanies.
Then 1t shoots down again to dart

It is not impossible to have pretty

manual labor or participating in siren

all, OF course. keep the hands clean as
possible. You cannot, however. be run
ming to wash them every half minute
II. for instance, you are digging in the

flower beds. Constant washing hurts
the skin of the hands. But the use of a
good, stiff scrubbinR brush Is of great
value for the nails and fingers. A small
ordinary scrubbing brush can be got
for few cents, and 1t does the work
quite as well as a more expensive one.
There are now mild securing soaps
made especially for the hands with
just enough grit" in them to rub off
the stained and rough cuticle. The

piled with vigor around the nails will
whiten these and the fingers astonish-
ingly.
There is a lotion especially valuable
for taking off tan and for softening
the hands. This Is simply equal parts
of lemon juice and glycerin. Strain
the lemon Juice through a thin cloth
to remove all pulp. Keep this simple
preparation on your toilet stand. If 1t
is applied plentifully before going to
bed and pair of loose gloves worn up
on the hands at night this will go far
to keep your hands smooth and soft.

able and sickening habit of biting Off

pie implements are useful for the nails.
One OF these is a pair OF French nail
clipperA Another is a nail file. The
velvet file is now the approved one. A
bit OF emery board will remove all
rough or loose skin from around the
nails after they have been trimmed
symmetrically with the clipper.
A tiny wooden stick slightly fattened
at the end is considered best for re-
moving from under the nails whatever
dirt the scrubbing brush has left. If
you dip the stick into lemon juice be-
fore applying 1t this will bleach away
any stain from under the nails. When
ever you wipe your hands push gently
back with the towel the flesh from
around the white half moons Mt the
base Of the nails so these will show.
Lastly. the nail polisher. Use plenty
of the polishing powder with 1t.

Boston, June 25,-Do you know that
when you speak into the long distance
telephone the man with whom you
talk. be he 80 or 100, or 1000 miles
away. hears the sound of your voice
before your stenographer who sits
across the room can hear 1t? 1t is per-
haps the nearest approach to the quick
ness of thought, this; for it takes the
sound of speech as it leaves your lips
thousand miles in less than a hundredth
part of a second.
And what does this journey of a
thousand miles involve? What are the
electrical waves about while the sound
waves are making their way to the 9TH

ample, a. business man in his office on
the twentieth floor of a New York
sky-scraper talks with the manager of
his exhibit at the st. Louis fair. Lift
ing the receiver from its hook when the
long distance operator at Central
tells him st. Louis is all ready" he
saws: Hello"
Through the little silk-covered wires
that trail from his telephone to the
wall opposite his desk, UP to the
moulding above the window. around
two sides OF the room. the little word
goes into the Office switchboard. From
the hallway and joins probably twenty
other wires in a cable that climbs down
the elevator shaft, picking up ten or
fifteen more connections at each floor
in its progress. passing from the base
nent through the wall to become part
of a larger lead-covered cable in con-
duit under the street.
Here travel is not so easy as II was
in the building, for 1900 wires, each in
its little covering of insulated air-lined
paper, are wrapped together in the ca
BILE and many influences from outside
combine to impede the progress OF the
message. But one after another they
are overcome and in perhaps the ten
millionth part of a second the Hello"
