the exchange withdraws the plugs from
the board and completes the work.
Under this improved system the No. vi.
exchange was put into operation in Berlin
in June of the present year. The new ex-
change, which is probably one Of the larg-
est of its kind yet erected, has a capacity
for 1900 customers and 200 functions. The
conductors are almost entirely laid under
ground as double wires in SO-pair cables,
and are taken into the basement of the
terminal station in sets OF fifty-pair cables
which then rise in shaft to the main
distribution frame in the entresol of the
building. The main distribution frame
serves to connect all the lines with the
various positions of the multiple board
From the main distribution frame the
wires ascend by twenty-one-pair cables to
two switch rooms on the upper floor. The
switchboards are constructed as tables
and for the local Accommodation there
are forty-two tables each with six posi-
tions. Three additional tables are used for
junction calls.
The current for operating the whole Of
the micrOphones is provided by a battery
of accumulators with total capacity OF
300 ampere-hours. 1t comprises four sepa-
rate batteries each at u volts, for the
charging OF which direct current trans
former station of 200 amperes and "a volts
is installed. The original station was
fitted up for 1900 subscribers. For this
purpose about 10000 metres of cable (328,-
O9O) yards were needed, with a total OF
about 100000 metres Of wires (say 49,
10000 yards). In the multiple panels there
are 1000 strips Of jacks, with 10000 single
Jacks.

Passing Events in the Field Of Electricity

the Berlin telephones has given rise to
much justifable complaint owing to In
terruptions in communications, partly me-
chanical and partly electrical in their
nature. The system about TO be introduced
there entirely avoids the use of handles
for calls and connections and does away
with the magnetic arrangement. II is de-
vised for calling up the exchange auto
matically by means Of double terminal sig
mails and central battery working. For
calling on and off recourse is had to mean
descent lamps. AS soon as the subscriber
removes his telephone from the hook
lamp is lighted at the exchange. The oper-
ator signifies attention by placing the plug
attached to a two-way cord in the jack
and asks for the number required; II an
other exchange is needed she depresses a
button which puts her on the call wire.
After receiving the junction line number
she then places the other plug attached to
the cord in the junction jack. This causes
the signal lamp Of the second exchange to
be switched on. Only when the person
called is reached-that is to say, when the
second subscriber has lifted his micro
phone from the hook-is the lamp put out.
So that as long as 1t continues to burn
It is an indication that through communi-
cation has not yet been established. When,
at the end of their conversation, the two
subscribers hang their microphones on the
respective hooks, two small signal lamps

ProcIaims His Good Luck.

One afternoon, some years ago, the late
Governor Russell put out from Cedar Grove
lodge to enjoy a few hours fishing on
Ponkapoag pond. Down at the other end
OF the pond was boat containing Willard
G. Brown of Randolph and a party OF
fishermen friends, who were unaware Of his
excellency's presence.
Browns party having been out all day
without getting a bite, someone suggested
a little game of seven up" so they
seated themselves in the bottom Of their
boat, which was a typical Ponkapoag craft,
built on the mud scow pattern, and the
game was on.
After playing for some time they noticed
a strange boat approaching and one Of its
occupants who was leveling a field glass
at them was heard to exclaim: "Those
fellows must have struck a school. They've
been cleaning fish ever since we came out"
As soon as the boats were within hailing
distance Governor Russell inquired, what
luck?" to which Brown replied: IT just

and made high, low jack, gift, game, ana
