most exclusively in marine condensers,

The landlubber architect as Well as
his brother Of the sea utilizes copper
more than most of US realize. The sky
scraper has roofing and cornices made
from the metal: churches and pubic
buildings are adorned with bronze
gates and doors, and bronze grill work;
and from copper and its compositions
are wrought ali manner of other decor
ations-vases, urns, tablets, busts ana
statues. The comfort of even the hum

much to copper as the beauty OF our

for portieres, curtains and stair car

In the Manufactures.
In manufacturing processes, for uten-
sils as we'll as machinery, copper has
taken the place of other metals in many
ways. Sugar factories and refineries
depend upon 1t for their pans, pulp and
paper mills for their watts, distilleres
for their worms and stills, breweries for
their kettles. Patterns are stamped on
calicos and print cloths with copper
rolls; the typewriter in your business

and the lettering on the Office window
all employ the same raw material. The

Millions of Miles of Wire.


Millions of Miles of Wire.
In addition to the copper in the tel
enhone lines. there are millions Of
miles of wire in the intricate appar-
atus of central offices and the connec-
lions on subscribers premises. one OF
the 10,OOO-Iine sWitchbOaTds used in the
big telephone centers includes 4OO0
miles of wire-enOugh to reach from,
say. St. Louis to Liverpool if it were
pieCed together in a single line.
The switchboards in the ten largest
cities in the country have about $1,000
miles of wire in them, not counting the
tiny copper threads-no coarser, in
suIatfon and all, than the finest thread
of cotton which the American house
wife uses for sewing-which are wound
about the magnets and relays of which
there IS a set for every subscribers line
that comes into the board. In single
relay is half a pound of copper, spun
out to a length of three-tenths Of a
mile. There is from half a mile to a
mile of wire in each of the relays con-
nected with the cords by which the
operators at central join two circuits
together; and every, operator who an
swers calls has seventeen Of these cords
while the trunk operators, who connect
one central office with another but do
not answer subscribers calls directly,
have twenty-five cords. Altogether
there are 100000 miles of fine wire in
the ten relays of the switchboards Of
the ten largest phone cities.
Many Copper Devices.
All of the copper used in equipping a
central office is not in the form Of wire,
however. Either pure or alleged the
which guard the apparatus against
damage from lightning, and the like
the fuse mountings and arrester
springs, as they are called. The plugs
at the ends of the operators connect
ing cords, and the springs inside the
''iacks' or switch-sockets in which
each circuit from outside terminates
i'm the switch-b board; the weights which
pull the cords back into place when
they are not in use; the drops" or
targets that on one type Of board
signal the operator when the sub
scriber wants to attract her attention,
all are largely of copper, and so are
the myriads Of screws, rfvets and minor
fastenings to hold together the thou
sands Of parts of the board.
When you talk over the thousand
miles from Boston TO Atlanta, or
from New York to Chicago. the cir
cult you use requires 1000 miles of
heavy copper wire. The total invest
ment represented in wire and appar-
atus devoted to your exclusive use
while such a conversation is going on
is several hundred thousand dollars
and If you consider the whole appar-
atus of which you require but cor
ner here and there the money value
mounts into the millions. The tele-
graph still uses iron for many OF it's
transmission lines, as do many of the
lesser telephone companies. But while
the lower cOnduetivity of iron does not
particularly affect transmission of tel
egraph signals. telephony demands for
its perfection the best material modern
science can find, even though their
ccstliness would have been practically
prohibitive a generation ago, and to-
day calls for an enormous investment,
enormous even for this period of colos-
sal financial enterprises.

4 GLANCE At THE FIGURES.

There is not time at this writing to
analayze the figures ummarizing the
result of the vote on the State ticket
In different counties. but a glance at
some OF the totals will have peculiar
interest In view Of the boastful state
ments made in advance by the Clemo-
Gratis. Windsor county which was a
Clement stronghold four years e
showed a splendid return to republic
canism in the present election. Every
town in the county, including Wood
stock, gave Proctor a majority save
one small and strongly democratic
town which gave Clement a beggarIy
majority OF two.
The republicans of Rutland county
also made a magnificent fight, over
coming the 800 or so majority given
for Clement and the democratic cam
o'dat"s four years ago and giving
Proctor the substantial majority of
about 1900.
In this connection it will be inter-
estinR 10 compare the results of Tues
days election with those OF previous
years, and especially the years in
which there was no national election.
The average republican plurality in
the eight off years since 1872 was ~
o59, while according to practically
s.IolooId luSIu 6BpsenL suInlsI o,aIduIoo
plurality Will be about $500.
In other words Clement with all his
crusade of abuse and defa nation was
able to reduce the republican margin
in Vermont only about $500, and his
tremendous effort resulted in a de-
feat which will put a quietus on his
sort of a campaign for a considerable
period to come.
The following table shows the repub-
lican and democratic votes for cover
nor and the republican pluralities in
the past third of a century.

INDICATED.

One of the most gratifying features OF
the verdict Of the people at the polls
Tuesday is their singing rebuke of the
campaign OF defamation waged by the
traducers OF the fair tame of Vermont.
The democrats had found nothing too
sacred In Vermont or her interests or her
institutions to besmirch for the purpose
OF promoting personal ambition and the
qualification Of the lust of power. Their
newspaper organs and the literary bureau
had flooded the State with the most sour
rilous attacks and filled the atmosphere
with the fatuous phosphorence begotten
Of the putresence Of Democratic carbon.
The people by their votes have proclaim
ed to the world that they are neither
knaves nor fools; that they do not be-
lieve our. State government is corrup',
our state officers grafters, and our voters
mere cattle who can be bought and sold.
The voters of Vermont have registered
their belief in our State and its present,
government: as well as its future progress
under republican rule. The grand old
State of Vermont has been vindicated in
a manner that must he welcome to true
Nermonters, not only in this State but
also in every State throughout this broad
land.
