been SO rapid because the officers
charged with the enforcement Of the
law have been lax in their dealing with
the monopoly. There are ample laws
on the statute books against the prac-
tice of the underhand methods de-
nounced by Chancellor Allison in his
recent opinion at Nashville but they
have not been enforced. These laws
have been enforced in the North. and in
the South the people are now awaking
to their rights and their interest. and
we may expect the Independent tele-
phone development to proceed in this
section with greater rapidity than ever,
affording safe and profitable investment
of capital and relief to the public from
the hurdcnsome chains Of monopoly, by
healthful and honest competition. 1t

THE TELEPHONE MONOPOLY.

LClarksyille, Tenn, Times-JOurnal
The decision of Chancellor Allison as.
sorting the rights Of the people against
the telephone monopoly and against
the practice of standardO il Methods is
receiving widespread attention. A
brief retrospect in the telephone situa-
ton might not be uninteresting at this
time.
The whole Uuited States, telephone
eally speaking, was owned for more
than twenty years by the American Bell
Telephone Company. 1t invested prac-
tically no money in the business of con-
strIction. 1t constructed very few
telephone properties but by viz
tue of its ownership Of patents
and Of its monopoly thereby secur-
cd, it permitted" other companies
called subsidiary companies to put their
money into construction, paying a ma
iority of the stock Of each subsidiary
company for the privilege. Thus this
company, without the expenditure Of
much money, came to own and control
the entire telephone situation of the
country. At every opportunity its cap
ital stock was increased by further
water until it grew to be a forty or fifty
million dollar corporation and its
stockholders became princes Of wealth.
They not only owned the American Bell
Telephone Company's stock but also the
controlling interest in all the subsidiary
companies. The American Boil Tclc-
phone Company, fearing, probably, an
Investigation of its methods, caused to
be organized a new company known as
the American Bell Telephone & ToIc-
graph Company which by One lcgerde-
main known only to the Wall Street
Stock iobbers acquired all the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone Company's stock
and properties and 10! the American
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company
appears today as a corporation with a
capital stock Of $l79,300, 900 and a
bonded debt of S8S,0 900, 900. Nearly two
hundred millions Of dollars and how
much Of it is water will never be known.
But this increased load, the public who
use the Bell Telephone service must
pay for and they are paying dividends
upon this immense captilization besides
the captilizatio on of the subsidiary con
panies. These conditions, together
with poor service, high rate and indif-
ferent treatment, all the direct out
growth Of twenty years of monopoly, re-
suited, at the expiration of the Bell pat
ents some eight or nine years ago, in
giving life to the independent telephone
movement which has since swept the
country to the country's good through
out the Northern, Middle and Central
West and Texas and California. These
Independent companies have served the
people most satisfactorily, have intro
duced considerate methods in the con-
duct of the public business and has re-
suited in fair rates and the pcople,have
shown their appreciation by liberal pa
tronage and today there are more than
two Independent telephones in use in
his country to one Of the Bell monopoly,

A Literary TOoI-chest.

In the gradual growth of every stu
dents library, he may or may not con-
tinue to admit literary friends and ad-
visers; but he will be sure, sooner or
later, to send for a man with a tool
chest. Sooner or later, every nook
and corner will be filed with books,
every window will be more or less
darkened, and added shelves must be
devised. He may find it hard to
achieve just the arrangement he
wants, but he will find it hardest of
all to meet squarely that inevitable
inquiry Of the puzzled carpenter, as
he looks about him, Have you ac-
tually read all these books?" The ex-
pected reply is, ITO be sure; how can
you doubt it?" Yet if you asked him
in turn, Have you actually used
every tool in your tool-chest?" you
would very likely be told, mot one
half as yet, at least this season; I
have the others by me, to use as l
need them" Now if this reply can be
fairly made in a simple, well-defned,
distinctly limited occupation like that
of a joiner, how much more inevitable
it is in a pursuit which covers the
whole range of thought and all the
facts in the universe. The library is
the authors tool-chest. He must at
least learn, as he grows older, to take
what he wants and to leave the rest.

MilIlon.poIIar. Caterpillar.

A few years ago, a scientific person
in Massachusetts imported some cat
erpillars that interested him, and kept
them in a bottle. But one day the
bottle tipped over and some OF the
caterpillars escaped into the scieu'
lists garden, and presently stocked
it with gypsy moths. To catch them
and their descendants the Bay State
has since spent about million dol
lars of public money. They have
cost it many million dollars besides
in damages. The old method of fight
ing them was to find and destroy the
cocoon. The State finally gave that
up. much to the regret of many citi-
zens. The bugs have since increased
very much and carried destruction in.
to the woods 1t is now proposed to
fight these pests in the latest fashion
by breeding parasites which will at
tack them. That method is recon-
mended by Mr. Koebele of Alameda,
California, who tried it successfully
in that State for white scale. The
Massachusetts Forestry Association
favors the experiment, which will not
cost much, and Mr.. Koebele will
doubtless be invited to bring his para
sites to Massachusetts, and sick them
on. The whole country is concerned
in this experiment because a Massa-
chusetts Congressman has invited
Congress to declare the gypsy moth a
national enemy and to appropriate
$25O,OO0 to fight him. The parasite
cure is a modern wonder and has been
effective in cases of great moment.
Mr.. Koebele says it will not wipe out
the gypsy moths, but will keep them
down. The boll-weevil may present
ly be restrained by the same meth
ods.-Harper's Weekly.

Metals Get Sick.

Metals can be poisoned and have
diseases in much the same way as
animal and vegetable creatures. And
when they are diseased they are dan
gerous to mankind; for if they are
made into tools, they may break, ruin
a laborer's work, or perhaps put out
his eye; if they happen to be part of
bridge, they may break and cause
accidents, perhaps ~destroy life. Pro
fessor e. Heyn, of the Technical Ex-
pertinent Station of the Royal Poly
technic School, Berlin-C harlottenburg,
writes on this highly interesting SUBJ
ject-"Life and Diseases of Metal"
in Harper's Magazine. The micro
scope has developed this branch of
modern science, as it has developed
the study of human diseases in the
hands of Virchow and his followers.
Illustrations accompanying the article
show diseased copper and steel.
