TIE "HELLo BOOK"
DA@eHltieA Faced by cOTPpiIers Ol
Telephone Directories.

DAneuItleA Faced by COIppiIeFa O4
Telephone Directories.
Undoubtedly the hardest book in the
world to edit, print and publish is the
telephone directory. To get out a sin
gle edition of two or three thousand
copies of a novel or schOolbook, even
given plenty of time for painstaking
work.. is regarded by publishers as a
great undertaking, yet the telephone
officials in the large cities in the Unit
ed States have every three months to
bring out simply enormous, ever en-
larging editions Of a book that is sub
ject to every conceivable sort of change
up to the very moment before it goes
to press. The compilation Is one that
must be as accurate as the most care
fully prepared text book and as elastic
in its makeup as a daily newspaper.
Naturally every precaution has to be
taken to secure the required freedom
from mistakes. The directories Of the
various divisions of the Bell system
are made up at the headquarters of the
different companies from data that are
turned in day by day by the managers
Of the local exchanges. Greatest pains,
of course, must be taken to avoid du-
plication of names and mistakes in
spelling and enumeration. All the adj
ditions and changes as well as with
drawals appear on the proof sheets in
red ink, and the average page before it
goes to the printer looks pretty much
as if a serious fight had taken place
over 1t. In the case Of the New York
Telephone company, where about 49,
900 new instruments are installed in q
single period of ninety days and where
there are perhaps half as many dlscon-
tinuances or other changes, the book is
subject to something like 10000 correc-
tions.
Even after the page proofs have
come back to the chief of the catalogu.
ing department, after most careful
proofreading and elimination Of every
discernible mistake, they are still liable
up to the last minute to be filled up
with the names Of lately enrolled sub
scribers. AS a curious result of the
exigencies of bookmaking people
whose names begin with the first let.
tiers Of the alphabet stand less chance
Of getting into the telephone directory
at the last minute than those whose
names begin with X. 7 or z.

50 was perfected by the "Badisehe" up
to the competing point and was then
calmly discarded because it started
with tOluene as a raw material, and
there was too little toluene in the
world to extinguish the annual 1,000,-
600 pounds Of natural indigo. Nothing
less than the complete extinguishment
of natural indigo would satisfy these
men. 1t was then that its catalytic
synthesis from naphthalene was dis
covered. Naphthalene is obtained from
coal tar and is both abundant and
cheap.
We need not infiict upon the reader
the names of fear possessed by the
substances through which naphthalene
passes on its way to indigo. Our sub
jeet is catalysis, and the validity of the
whole process depends on a catalytic
operatiOn-the mere presence of mer-
curry tor mercury and copper)-in bring
ing about the easy action Of sulphuric
acid in OXidizing naphthalene to phthal-
ic acid, the first step in the process.
This interesting essential (the advan-
tageous presence of mercury was dis
covered through some mercury found
at the bottom of an experimental flask,
the result of a broken thermometer
Through this little accident in 1897
synthetic indigo became a commercial
reality after the 'Badische'' had spent
more than S4,5OO,OOO on the plant and
preliminary experiments. In 1903 the
German export of artificial indigo
amounted to $G250,OO0. In 1904 the ex-
port of natural indigo from India
amounted to less than 80 per cent of
what it had been. and as a matter of
fact artificial indigo is now being inn
ported into India. The reason is briefly
that the artificial indigo from coal tar
is not only indigo. it Is pure indigo and
cheaper than the natural product

BIRD FRIENDS.
Exceedingly Valuable Hunters of In

Exceedingly Valuable Hunters of In
sects In the Orchard.
By Fl. A. GOSSARD. Ohio experiment
station.
Among insectivorOus winter birds
none is more valuable than the chicka-
dee or black capped titmOuse, Parus
atricapillus. 1t is busy all winter long,
cleaning the bark in the woods, in the
orchards and in the evergreen hedge
wherever there are trees. The larvae
of the codling moth or apple worm,
the little grubs of the fruit bark bee
ties or shot hole bOrer and more nOta-
bly, the eggs of plant lice, tent cater
pillars, fall cankerwOrms and like IN
sects remaining ON the bark over VIM
ter are found and devoured by 1t.
More than $50 of the black eggs laid
by plant lice are known to have been
eaten by a single bird in one day. AS
suming that one chickadee eats on an
average twenty-five eggs per day, an
estimate far below the actual number,
over 5000 eggs will have been con-
sumed during the months of December,
January. February and March. Each
one Of these eggs represents the future
form Of plant louise known as the
''stem mother" which, no mishaps oc-
curing to cut short the natural life OF
any Of her descendants, would, accord
ing to Huxley, produce in ten genera
tions a mass Of organic matter equiva-
lent to the bulk of 5OOOO0,O00 human
beings. or the whole population Of the
Chinese empire.
The apple plant louise has normally
about eight generations in one season,
the greater proportion of the individ-
uals failing for various reasons to re-
produce, but enough has been said to
prove that the chickadee is the bird
that eats the egg, that matches the
louse. that breeds the plague, that
knocks the orchardist out. 1t has been
further said by a reliable investigator
that mo bird compares with it in de-
stroying the female eankerworm moths
and their eggs" He estimates that one
bird destroys $3.50 cankerworm eggs
in one day and will therefore con-
sumo 13S, $50 eggs during the twenty
five days it takes the cankerworm
moths to crawl up the trees.
The woodpeckers are more busy In
winter than in summer, hunting for
wood boring larvae and wood burrow-
ing ants. Insects eggs and bark lice
or scale insects are likewise eaten by
them. Thirteen per cent Of the food of

His Pct Aversion.

The late Associate Justice Gray Of
the supreme court was very eccentric.
Among his prejudices was a deep and
lasting aversion for a typewriter. That
machine did not. come into general use
until Justice Gray was an old man,
and he never became reconciled to it..
1t made him furious if a lawyer filed
with him a motion or other court paper
typewriter. He invariably returned it
with brusque request that the matter
to be submitted be written in long.
hand. He had a stenographer at his
disposal, but never utilized his serv-
ices, as he wrote all his letters, as well
as his opinions. He notified the clerk
of the supreme court not to send him
any typewriter paper, no matter how
important it might be. He never neg
lected an opportunity to denounce
typewriters The result Of his hatred
for these machines was that he did
three times as much work as the other
justices.
