leather. Leaky plumbing raises havoc
with interior circuits every now and
then. Here and there is nervous
person who has a habit of jabbing
with pen the green silk cord of
his desk set while he is telephoning,
with the result, of course, that he
eventually spoils the insulation, which
brings the wires of the circuit into
contact and puts them out of com

Considerable unsatisfactory ser

ing should be fastened to the trans
mitter by screwing the mouthpiece
through it, for instance; that disar-
ranges the adjustment. For obvious
reasons nothing should be stretched
over the opening of the mouthpiece;
that puts an obstacle between the
voice and the diaphragm. The mouth
piece can be kept perfectly clean by
wiping it out with dry cloth; no
liquid should be used.
Carpenters, paper hangers, painters,
plumbers and other workmen who,
with the best intentions in the world,
move the wires temporarily that they
may better do their work, frequently
either break the circuit in doing so,
or iniure it in their attempts to re
place things as they found them. When
it is necessary to disturb telephone
wiring for any purpose, the company
should be asked to send its own ex-
pert men; and it will save the sub
scriber loss of time and interruption
of service if he will notify his man

Boston and New York during the winter.
The ferns cost the florist during the cold

the ferns are used.
The difference between the brice paid

storage man is under considerable expense
and runs big risk. Sometimes the ferns

UNSUSPECTED CAUSES OF
TROUBLE"

Apart from the inevitable "trou-
blen in the intricate and sensitive
equipment of central offices and in the
extensive system of outside lines,
Overhead and underground, the tele-
lphone service occasionally suffers from
disturbance of the circuits or instru-
lments on the subscribers premises.
lThis kind of "trouble" is difficult to
locate, and so is specially annoying;
lbut almost always it is perfectly
Iavoidabe, being caused by unconscious
lcarelessness.
In one case when a subscriber re-
ported that he was unable to talk
through his telephone at all it was
found that member of the family
had laid a pair of spectacles on top
of the bell box of the instrument so
THAT the steel bows touched against
the binding posts to which the outside
lwires are fastened, thus "cutting
butt both transmitter and receiver by
blessing the circuit before it reached
them. Another subscriber declared
that people who called him had been
told "They don answer" when he
knew positively that the bell had not
hung at all. His difficulty turned out
ITO be due not to any failure of Cen
trial. to perform her work properly,
but to the fact that his wife had

IRON AND STONE CLOTH
A Wool Made in Electrical Fur
nace=Fabric From Old Ropes,

Cloth OF gold the fairy books
describe; cloth of iron is a real
product OF the mills. Iron cloth
is used largely to-day by tailors
for making the collars of coats
set fashionably. 1t is manufac-
tured from steel wool by a new
process, and has the appearance
OF having been woven from horse
hair.
Wool which never saw the
back Of a sheep is being largely
utilized on the continent for max
ing mems suits. 1t is known by
the name of limestone wool, and
is made in an electric furnace.
Powdered limestone mixed with
a certain chemical is thrown into
the furnace, and after passing un-
der a furious blast of air is tossed
out as fluffy, white wool. After
coming from the furnace the wool
is dyed and finally made into
lengths of cloth. A pair Of trous-
erS or 4 coat made from this
material can be burned or dam
aged by grease and is as flexible
as cloth made from the sleeps
wool.
Some time ago an English
clothing manufacturer succeeded
in making a fabric from old ropes.
He obtained a quantity of old
rope and cordage and unraveled
them by a secret process into a
kind of rough cloth. A suit of
/ clothes is made from it and worn
by the manufacturer himself
proved strong in the extreme and
kept its color we'll. 1t is said that
4 number Of goods sold by some
of the best London tailors at low
prices are made Of old ropes.
