The Phone and the Farm.

The farm that is in telephone COM
munication with neighboring farms
and nearby towns at once becomes a
party OF 4 close social jody, and IS IN
constant touch with everything thar
is going on in the vicinity. The iso-
lation OF farm. life is no longer to be
dreaded when a telephone circuit is
installed in the house. Neighborly
communication is a matter Of seconds
and does not require a more or less
extended trip. Rainy or stormy days
do. not prevent visiting and the ex-
change of friendly greetings.
In case of sudden sickness or SER
ious accident help may be called
without delay, and almost invariably
the physician may be summoned in
stantly. There are nu ferrous instance
es that might be citeu = which life
has been saved by this facility OF
communication. In a hundred differ
ent ways the telephone makes life
safer, easier, and more pleasant;
!. The cost is trihing as: compared
with the advantages and it is safe to
say that any family living in the
countrywhicfhas telephone installed
for one year, could not be persuaded
to have it taken out and go back to
the old way of living alone. With
telephone the farmers family becom-
es an important part of the neighbor-
ing circle instead of an isolated unit
cut off from the regular and frequent
communication with the remainder Of
the world

New Machinery.

Superintendent Boyd says that all
the machinery for the new lighting
system is now here, with the excep-
ton Of the switchboards. Noting can
be done until these arrive and conse~
quently work at present IS at stand
still, but he expects to hear from
them in a very few days. The two
generators or dyna1nos are at the
power house. and one Of them has al
ready been set up. Their power is
100 and IS kws., respectively. Both
generators are of the same kind and
can be thrown into conjunction in
such way that, when necessary they
will give the same result as one Us
XIV. generator. The same current viii
be used for the arc lights and the in.
candescents, transformer being used
on thee urrent for the street lights.
Superintendent Boyd says much Of
the late unsatisfactory service has
been attribute to the bad condition
of the old machinery, and he expects
perfect results from the new.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at St. Louis will close at the end OF
this month, having been open since
May I. Its projectors, who had hop
ed that the attendance would rival
that of the Worlds Fair at Chicago
in 1893, will be disappointed, for the
present figures indicate that the total
record will be nearly ten million
short of that made by the Windy
City. The figures of the St. Louis
Exposition up to October 80 are 49,
oo3,2o5, while the Worlds Fair fig
ures were 27,58o,521. The November
attendance will not run over 5000, 900,
for it is cold or rainy. Allowing s.
ooo, 1000 for this month, the total at
tendance would be about 2o,ooo,o 900,
which would still leave the Worlds
Fair winner by at least 100000.
The causes for the smaller atten-
dance are not hard to find. The
Worlds Fair came at a time when
such expositions were a comparative
NOVELTY to the Am erican people. Chic
ago is also a greater city than St.
Louis, and has much larger number
of people in it's immediate vicinity
The fact that this was presidential
year, no doubt, made the attendance
less than it would otherwise have
been. Still, 2oooo,ooo of people make
highly creditable record and the St.
Louis managers may we'll feel proud
Of the magnificent success Of their
enterprise. They gave to the people
of this country an exposition which
in many respects proved the greatest
the world has ever known and afford
ed new proof Of what American en-.
terprise and American grit can ac'
complisf.
