New uses fos che teiephons are being
discovered Constantly IL was only the
other day that . case 81 piano tuning by
telephone waa sOrogtsd. A woman would
let only one man IN New York touch her
plano. The lnstFumast had TO he tuned
at q certain hour. u was impossible for
him 10 be there ss thAs tims.
Il was arranged that hs should hsten
10 the tuning Of the piano by his assistant
through the telephone and should tell the
assistant exactly when he had frightened
or loosened the wires sufficiently. The
plan worked satisfactorily.
Probably the most important military
development Of the telephone wa made
by the Japanese In the reoent war with
Russia. The japanese conducted almost
all their operations on the field Of battle
| by telephone. Marshal Oyama never saw
the battle Of Mukden and all the time he
was from fifteen to twenty miles in the
scale by use Of the telephone.
Port Arthur was bombarded in the same
way by Japs. After months Of endeavor
times had they tried TO scale its bare, steep

seventh time they stayed for o while.
The place was under tho n Of Russian
batteries on other hills. They made sure
that tho Russians could mover get back
and then began TO erect their mortar bat
teries In the valley behind the hill and en-
tirely out Of sight.
Half way up the hill and out Of the reach
Of al; but ons or two OF the Russian bat
teres they dug out q bombproof. There
the chief Of artillery took his station. Tele-
phone wires vere strung to him from the
battery below. He could sec the warships
in the harbor and almost every building
In the new town and most Of those in the
old town.
1.-TWO hundred feet to tho north, $50 to
the south; shorten the range by ffty feet;
q little to the right; a little 20 the left
These were the orders the artillery chief
gave, and hour by hour and day by day he
smashed the ships and buildings until the
town was battered to pieces. The wreck
age was complete. The telephone made
the victory Of the Japs at Port Arthur
possible.
All through the IVA the Japs made similar
uss Of the telephone. When the army was
100 miles north Of Mukden Marshal Oyama
and his STAFF sat in their Offices In Mukden
and supertntended all the movements Of
troops and supplies by wire.
There were not 500 soldiers In Mukden
and never more than half a dozen could
be seen at headquarters. A telephone
switchboard did the business.
Up at the front each OF the Generals
Of the five armies had a similar system at
work. The Generals were from ten to If
teen miles behind their troops at the front.
All over the country ran telephone wires,
stretched on slender bamboo poles. The
signal corps put them up almost as fast
as men could walk.
The commanding General could talk
with almost every regiment instantly. The
system worked perfectly. The telephone
has come to stay In warfare.
In the field Of commerce the world has not
yet caught up with the advance In the use
There Is more business lone beneath
the street han above it, said a telephone
man. while you are walking along the
street thousands upon thousands of mes
sages are vibrating on tho wires beneath
These messages carry financial agree
ment amounting to millions upon mill
ions Of dollars. The Stock Exchange
could not do it's business without the phone
nowadays.
Sales Of all sorts are being made, agree
ments affecting the life, health and pros
perity and safety Of the people are being
sent over the wires. Stories Of life, death
and love are being told. The story under
ground Is one that 70 never fully told. Life
pulsates there
A woman about two years ago discovered
q new uAe for the telephone. II was for a
morning chat IN bed with her neighb6r,
while that neighbor was also in bed.
Marie comes in with Madame's coffee
about hall past 8 O'Clock and awakens her
mistress. She sips the coffee and tells
Marie to ring up Mrs. Knickerbocker.
After the morning safutations they talk
Of the previous evenings reception and
the gowns and the gossip. Blythe time the
morning telephone call Is over Madame is
wide awake.
The value Of the telephone to women
is emphasized by the increased use of the
In department stores. A store
In another city than New York has 1000
In use mt is about to put In
/ 200 moro. That means that there Is more
100 900 900 feet OF telephone wire in
use there, amounting to something lie
II, 900 miles. There are i2o trunk lines
alone In the shop and nearly 10000 mes
saEes q day are received.
The largest number Of telephones In any
one shop In New York h said to be some
thing like 400. A akora With mn tnIn
