SOME MORE SCIENCE.

One by one the theories fall before the accurate attacks of science. We suppose that almost everybody who thinks about the matter at all thinks that the constant use of the telephone by the girls at Central" isn't good for the girls ears. But the announce ment comes from London that after examining the ears of a71 Hello girls Dr. Blegvard concludes that continual telephone work does not damage the hearing. Indeed, he says that some girls are improved in hearing by the continual practice in distinguishing sounds.
 This Is cheering. Now, if Dr. Bleg- ward will discover that the constant iteration by the girls at Central of the word "Busy!" doesn't really irri- tate some nasty people as much as 1t has been supposed to, he will upset another popular theory.
