LONG DISTANCE Phone
Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of
Its Beginning.
ALEXANDER BELLS WORK
Stages of His Experiments
with the Wire.

Boston, April e.-It is quarter of a
century since the beginning of long dis
lance telephony.
Before 1879, no telephone message had
been transmitted from one city to an
other, and the idea that the sound of the
human voice could be >carried over q
wire 40 Or 80 miles in length was not gem
orally entertained. II was. however,
firmly fixed in the minds of the men who
had recently formed the Bell Company
and they even then predicted that the
time would come when the country would
be covered by harmonious network Of
telephone wires. and the distance over
which conversation could be carried on
would be measured by hundreds and
thousands of miles. bringing the entire
population in communication through a
single universal system.
Three years after the invention Of Al
exander Graham Bell had been exhibited
at the Centennial Exposition at Phila-
delpiiia and had excited the curiosity of
the world, rather a scientific novelty than
a practical utility. these men in the New
England company authorized the con-
struction of a line from Boston TO Lowell.
a distance Of - miles When the wire
had been strung il was found that they
were right IN their expectations and the
voice of a person speaking in Boston
could be heard by The person at the re-
ceiver in Lowell Even then the public
failed TO grasp the significance Of this
achievement. and it was regarded largely
SIS an experiment until a business trans
action. involving several hundred thous-
and dollars. was brought 10 4 successful
consummatfon by conferences over the
line between the two Massachusetts cit-
les. Papers were drawn At Boston. agreed
to by those present and then read TO the
parties in Lowell. Amendments were
suggested and discussed. until the docu-
ment was satisfactory 70 al The persons
interested
The news Of this transaction spread Lar
and wide and did much TO awaken II the
minds OF business men a realization OF
the commercial possibilities Of The tele-
phone. while il served 10 stimulate the
engineers ard experts employed by the
company in their endeavors 70 perfect the

the apparatus was crude and imperfect in
operation. But the beginning had been
made on that career of progress in long
distance telephony which IS enc Of the

In such manner that through the vari-
Gus switchboards the circuit can be
branched from point to point TO reach the
desired destination. the ldpgest circuit
ever made being that from Boston 20 Lit
tie Rock. about 1850 miles. This was an
emergency case. as a man wished 20 ask
for information and receive reply at
once relative to some fluctuations in the
cotton market
In the quarter century while this ex-
pansion has been taking place there have
been numerous changes and improve
rnents in the apparatus. The first pUr-
pose and conception of a telephone ex-
change was merely to afford commUnica-
ton between individuals in one village or
town through single switchboard. and il
was "A coincidence that the magnet

Houghton. Mich. Nov. 19.-The ef- feet of the election. coming as favor able factor upon top of an already strong market, has resulted in a great increase in speculative activity at Bos- ton. Locally 50 much interest has been diverted to the Lake stocks listed on the Boston exchange that Arizona cop per. while strong and fairly acuve, are enjoyed previous to the election. l. is probable, however, in view of the rapidly broadening market for these a further advance will be scored by those of the better class. The Calumet & Arizona has declared it's quarterly dividend of 1.50 this week. plus an extra dividend of 50 cents. While the directors are careful to explain that the regular ra.e is only s1.50 per quar- ter. 1t is altogether probable that the s2 rate will be maintained permanent ly. until such time as larger dividend can be paid This is believed because the net annual earnings of the compa- ny are nearer to SIP than to s6 per share. and dividend disbursements of s8 yearly VIII enable the company to add materially to it's present surplus, which is already about S1.500,00O. The Calumet & Arizona begun produc- ltion just two years ago, and in that time has paid dividends, Including the one just declared. of s1.700,000. be sides accommodating a reserve of about
 $11 100000 in cash, copper and bills receivable, showing net earning of up- wards of s3,OO0. 900 in two years. This fine profit has been made from a sin gle shaft. and a second shaft is now
 being fitted for production.

CULT OF THE HAND.
The Most Notwithstanding Hands
Can Be Improved in a
Short Time.

The cult of the hand is in vogue, anu
who can find fault with what produces
so charming a result? The lovely lit
tie soft white hand with taper fingers
looks so deliciously feminine. A hand
may be large, yet its size is easily for
gotten if it is white anu soft. Be it
ever so small and shapely, it is not
beautiful SO long as it is rough and
red, and has nails that are ill-kept and
'misshapen, says 4-merican Queen. A
large, white, well-cared for hand shows
character and determination. A small,
rough, red hand with untidy nails re-
veals a lazy, careless disposition.
The most hopeless looking hands can
be improved in a short space of time.
A bowl of milk, some almond cream,
and a pair of gloves are all that are
required. Every night, or retiring.
steep the hands in the milk for ten
minutes or more. Dry them with a
soft towel and afterward rub the al
mond cream into them, draw on the
gloves lin which holes for ventilation
have been cut), and wear them till
morning. Done steadily for a month
the hands will show a decided i'm
provement, but it must be understood
that unless the treatment is kept uI
religiously it cannot be expected tc
have the desired effect.
