vided into fifteen second spaces
The unusual feature of the watch face
is that the hour hand is little TRAN
gular pointer which revolves outside
the numerals, while the minute hand
is an arrow which revolves within.
The other dials are queerer still, for
their figures revolve while the soil
tary hand that adorns each face stands
still.
When you talk with man twenty
five or two hundred and fifty or
thousand miles away, as the case may
be, the details of your call are re-
corded on an order ticket, which goes
to toll operator. She slips this
ticket into the slot in the calculagraph
and at the proper time pulls down
one of the levers. This registers the
exact hour and minutes of the begin
ming of the connection, thus identify
ing it for record purposes by printing
on the order the watch face, hands
and all, while it also leaves impress
sions of the two other dials, though
no hand appears on either of them.
When the calculagraph is not in ac-
tive use the dials showing the sub-di-
visions of the hour and the five-min-
ute period are motionless, with their
hands pointing to zero. Pulling the
lever sets the dials going, but the
hands remain stationary, so when the
mechanism is stopped these indicators
show just how long the dials have
been moving. The instant the opera
tor gets the signal that tells her you
are through talking she slides the
ticket into the calculagraph again and
pulls down the lever. That prints an
arrow-ike hand into each Of the
blank dials, registering the exact
lapse of time down to the seconds.
To give full measure the company
allows on every call fifteen seconds
leeway on the elapsed time the calcu-
lagraph records.

Electric,ty in the sick-Room

Electricity In the Sick-ROom.
In this day OF scientific study OF the
laws OF health and Of deep research to
overcome the fatalities and sufferings OF
disease, electricity takes no insignificant
part.
In the hospital of the modern type the
rooms are heated with an electrical lu-
minous radiator, which does not vitiate
the air; the cooking is prepared in cleo
tricaliy- heated utensils, and the work
about the buildings is accomplished with
the aid of electric power. Then, too,
there are the electric lights, ventilators,
the cooling fans and the impatient tele-
phone. The electrotherm, or heating pad,
displaces the old hot packs. The surgeon
prepares his instruments in the new cleo
trical sterilizer.
A powerful magnet is used to assist IN
extracting pieces OF steel from the eyes OF
patients. The electric batteries are OF
great assistance to paralytics, and the cleo
trical vibrator is beneficial to skin, mus
cles and body. A device has even been
invented in which, it is said, an electric
current takes the place OF ether and iuils
the sufferer into insensibility while an
operation is being performed. The baby
milk warmer and the electric water heat
ers are also useful sdiuncts to the sick
room

TIMING TOLL CALLS.

Local telephone service can be sold
wholesale, SO to speak, but toll and
long distance service, which each in
dividual user employs only occasion
ally, is necessarily charged for by the
single message. And the only fair
measure of the service OF the costly
long distance plant-costly to build, to
maintain and to operate-is that of the
length of the time the line is used.
Time being of all things the most prec-
ious in this age Of hustle, it must be
measured with absolute accuracy when
it is made commodity. 1t is the abso-
lutte mechanical precision with which
this is done that makes the telephone
one of the great commercial econo-
mics Of the day.
Every toll operator in the New Eng
land telephone system has at her side
a device called calculagraph. 1t
looks, at first glance, quite like an Or
binary clock, except for slot three
or four inches wide that runs in under
the face and couple OF handles or
levers projecting from the case. The
face of the clock is not used in max
ing charges for service; it is merely a
convenient thing to have around".
Take off the hands and face of the
clock, and you find three little circles
of figures that look like SHELTON watch
dials, the numerals being metal type,
which is linked by ribbon, just as are
the letters of typewriter.
One dial has Roman numerals for
the hours and dots for the minutes,
Just like the watch you carry in your
pocket every day. Another, which
looks like a miniature clock with
Arabic figures that run uncommonly
high, divides, an hour into twelve
FIVE minute periods. The third
shows fve-minute period di-
vided into minutes, which are sub-di-

Wash the fruit thoroughly, and in case
OF rhubarb cut into small pieces, as for

been sterilized, then fill the jars to over
flowing with freshly drawn water. Put
on the covers and let them stand over
night. BY the next morning, you will
find that the fruit has taken up more or
less OF the water, and that there is quite
a vacuum to be filed. Drain off the water
and fill again with fresh cold water to
overfiowing, letting the water come with
sufficient force to drive out any air. Then
seal closely and put away for winter use.-
