THE EMPIRE OF SPEECH.
What Has Been Done by Improve
ments in the Telephone to
Advance 1t.

Two or three recent important i'm
provements of the telephone show what
undeleveloped capacities still lie hidden
in this wonderful far-talker of modern
science. In the first place, says the Cos
mopolitan, it has become possible to
eliminate the telephone girl as a con-
Meeting link, or rather a connector of
links, between the sender and the re-
ceiver of a message. One can 10Y

If you wish to talk with a friend by this
new system, you simply look up his or
her number, and then on a dial. or min

or office, you turn the indicator to the
digits representing that number, and
Immediately your friends bell rings,
and, without any further preliminaries,
you may begin your conversation. The
switching mechanism at the central ex-
change has automatically followed the
movements Of your indicator at home
and put you into direct communication
with the desired point. Besides, it gives
a delightful sense Of privacy to a tele-
phone talk. Mechanical c~ontrivances
possess no ears and no memories. and,
having nothing to forget, make no blur

tion-the telephone that takes your
speech, keeps it unuttered if your friend
happens to be out, but speaks it into his
ear as soon as he returns. whether the
interval be an hour or a week-must be
regarded as a marvel of marvels. That
machine may consist either of a steel
wire wound on a revolving drum, or a
hard steel disk revolving in a horizontal
plane. Above. the revolving wire, or
disk, is placed q small electromagnetic ac-
tuated by the telephone circuit. All the
varying impulses that come over the
telephone wire under the influence of
the speakers voice are impaired by the
little magnet to the steel moving be-
meath it, and they make upon that steel's
surface a series of magnetic impressions,
like invisible dots, each of which pos
sesses its own peculiar polarity and de-
gree of intensity. 1t is just as if the
steel were a sheet of paper and the mag
net a pen, and the magnetic impulses a

TARIFF REFORM DEMANDED

When the people of the United

certain legislation would advance their

has promised in the three last con.

whole republican membership by not
allowing any record vote, SO that The

distinctly fooled at the last three cleo

mated that the same do-nothing pro-
gram is to be repeated at the coming
session Of congress, and the trusts will
thus be allowed to continue to sell
their products to the people Of the
United States for much higher prices
than they sell them for abroad. So
great is the difference between the
home and foreign selling prices of the
tariff fostered trusts that President
Roosevelt has been compelled to order
the Panama Canal commission to buy

the cheapest, which means buying
them abroad.

Those voters who supported the re,

of the procession. who was carrying a
cross, slowed up a little, like the drum
major of a band when the populace at
home begins to throw eggs, but they kept
on, and then the shooting began, and in
a minute men, women and children were
rolling in the snow, bleeding and dying,
the marchers were too stunned to run,
and the deadly guns kept on splitting
fire, and the street was full Of dead and
dying. and then the Cossacks rode over
the dead and sabered and knouted the
living, and as the n o was patched with
red blood, dad tainted away and fell off
the picket fence, and hung by one pant
leg. which caught on a picket, and
crowds rushed in every direction, and
it was an hour before | could get a
drosky to haul dad to the hotel.
Dad collapsed when he got to the hotel,
and / got a doctor and a nurse, and for
two days | had to watch the revolution
alone, while dad had fits of remorse
cause he brought me to such a charnel
house, he said.
Well, il you ever go anywhere, travel
ing for pleasure, do not go to Rus
STA, because it is the saddest place on
earth. | have seen no person smile or
laugh in all the ten days we have been
here, except a Cossack when he run a
saber through a little girl, and his laugh
was like the coyote on the prairie when
he captures a little lamb. The people
look either heart-broken or snarly, like
the people confined in an insane asylum
at home.
The czar, who a week ago was loved
by the people, who believed If they went
| to him, as to their God. and appealed for
guidance, is to-day hated by all, and in
stead of Nicholas the Good since he
scampered away to a castle in the coun-
try, and crawled under a bed, all the peo-
pie call him the Little Jack Rabbit .
and his fate is sealed, as a bomb will
blow him into pieces so small they will
have to be swept up in a dustpan for
| burial, maybe before dad and | Fan get
out of Russia.
Going to st. Petersburg for a pleasant
outing is a good deal like visiting the
Chicago s%tockyards to watch the bloody
men kill the cattle. and the butchers In
the stockyards, calloused against any
feeling for suffering animals, are like
the soldiers here who shoot down their
neighbors because they are hired to do
SO. The murder Of those unarmed work
ing men, that Sunday, has changed a
helpless, pleading people into anarchists
with deadly bombs in their blouses

black bread to sustain life, and with the

outraged people at home. Russia is in a

The Chicago man touched off a couple

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA.-MY
DEAR GROCERYWITZ: Well, sir, dad
and | have got too much of Russia the
quickest of any two tourists you ever
heard of. That skirmish' we saw, the
day the Russians blessed the Neva, and
shot blank cartridges filled with old iron
at the car, was not a marker to the
trouble the next Sunday, when the work
ing people marched to the Winter Pal
ace, to present a petition to the Little
Father"
We thought a revolution was like q
play, and that it would be worth going
miles to see. Dad was in South Amer
lea once when there was a revolution,
where more than a dozen greasers, with
guns that wouldn't shoot, put on a dozen
different kinds of uniforms, and yelled:
Down with the government" and
frothed at the mouth, and drank butter
milk and yelled Spanish swear words,
and acted brave. until a native soldier
with white pajamas came out with a
gun and shot n of the revolutionists
in the thumb, when the revolution was
suppressed and the next day the revolu-
tionists were pounding stone, with can
non balls chained to their legs; and dad
thought a revolution in Russia would be
something like that, and that we could
get on a front porch and watch it as it
went by, and joke with the revolution,
and throw confetti, like it was a
carnival, but that Sunday that the Rus
sian revolution was begun, we had
enough blood to last us all our lives.
We got a place sitting on an iron picket
fence, and We saw the people coming up
the street towards the Winter Palace,
dressed mostly in blouses, and looking
as innocent as a crowd of sewer diggers
at home going up to the city hall to ask
for a raise in wages of two %shillings a
day. Nobody had a gun, and no n
would have known how to use a CUR, and
all looked like poor people going to
prayers. There were troops everywhere,
and every soldier acted as though he
was afraid something would happen to
spoil their chance of killing anybody.
The snow on the streets was clean and
as white as the wings of a peace dove,
and dad said the show was no better
than a parade of laboring men at home
on Labor day.
Suddenly some officer yelled to the
parade to stop, and the priest at the head

and the s%torekeeper, the editor and the preacher, the politician and
the professor, the trust magnate and the labor organizer, are all find
ing excellent and most weighty reasons for such speech or silence,
such action or inaction, as is personally profitable to themselves.
If we keep on in that way our boosted civilization is doomed, and
Japan, alert, devoted, pubic-sprited. will leave lis as far in the rear as
we in our supreme sefconceit fancy that we have left the rest of the
world. No building OF big navies will prevent it. Our only deliver
ance is in the uprising of men with radical ideas about truth and JUS
te and with the courage to stand by them at any cost.
