that the next Emperor should he counted among
the Christian rulers Of the earth. The personal

Even So telephony has been perfected to a point
where these obstacles would satisfactorily
come, But there may be from two 10 ten miles
OF underground at the New Workers. end OF the line
and from three 70 twelve miles Of under
ground at the Chicagoan's end. Together these
sections of underground add, roughly. the equiva-
lent Of another 400 miles, Furthermore a majority
OF business calls are between private branch ex-
change subscribers.
The private switchboard while convenient is
often the cause of further losses in transmission

The complications introduced by the necessity OF

circuits whenever they passed near large cities
Thus messages may be turned into the city itself
or may he carried without the IJss CT power

the long distance lines must run in and out or

the messages must leave the poles 10 travel Tor
some distance underground. T he loss OF efficiency
in what are called the sub-station loops-that is
to say the lines between the central offices ana
the subscribers teephones-reduces the distance
OF possible transmission full third. This is be-
cause Of the resistance offered to the passage of
the current by apparatus and by the small wires
that have to be used in underground cables and in
the wiring OF buildings. and When tele-
