pay $25 a year and ~ cents a call In adj
dition.
There are 5000 telephones in greater
Berlin, which has 1897, 600 inhabitants.
When it comes to the question Of cost OF
operation and economical efficiency no
data are available. The German Govern
ment is a close corporation and nobody
can ascertain such details, or rather they
are all hidden in the general accounts OF
post and telegraph administration.
As to long distance service, it has much
improved Of late years, chiefly, it is said,
owing to the installation Of better apparatus
in other countries, and the press in p%articu-
lar now uses the phone freely and salts
factorily to centres like Paris, Brussels,
Vienna, Copenha gen and large provincial
towns.
The sending Of press messages is faoili-
tated by giving during certain hours OF
the night two conversations Of three minutes
each for the price OF one, by the providing
Of special booths and in minor ways. Long
distance tolls are calculated according to
distance, as follows: Up to Is miles, 8 cents;
80 miles, Q cents; 90 miles, 10 cents; 800 miles,
"a cents; 600 miles, 4s cents. These are the
charges for an ordinary three minute con-
yersation.

!SWEDEN AT THE HEAD.
II Is the Most Progressive COun try In Europe
rs REGARDS the Telephone.

STOCKHOLM, June THE tele phone is
more generally used and the service is
more efficient in Sweden thar in any other
country in Europe. There are more tele-
phones in Stockholm alone than in all u
tria, three times as many as in all Italy
A large proportion OF all telephones used
in Europe are made in Sweden
The principal service for a radius OF
thirty five miles from Stockholm is provided
by the Public Telephone Company, a pri-
vate corporation which is in no way ham
pered in it's operations by the Government
and which has about 5000 subscribers.
There is in addition a State telephone SER
vice, which has is 900 subscribers In the
Stockholm district and 10000 through the
country.
The wide extent to which the telephone
is used may be judged from the fact that
one person in every six in Stockholm is a
telephone subscriber-a larger proportion
than aver America can show. The rates
are very low-50 kronen about $lS) a year
for residential service and the same sum
plus SO kronen installation fee on the State
system. The private company has a graded
scale Of charges up to 100 kronen 02T a
year for unrestricted service on an indie
pendent line.
The private company pays good divi-
dends and the State derived a profit OF
$50 900 kronen from telephones in 1905, the
last year for which.returns are available.

ENGLAND'S POOR FACILITIES.
Municipal Ownership of Telephones q
ailur

LoSDLE. June The British Govern
ment-all European Governments for that
matter-assumes that all methods Of COM
munication except by the voice alone belong
10 the State. This State monopoly is 80
~jeaIously guarded that even the boy mes
sepeer companies are compelled to pay
3 royalty TO the State OF two cents upon
each message c~arried-the sum 1t would
have COST TO send it through the post
When the telephone was invented its
practical Use was virtually prohibited at
first by the restrictions and taxes which the
Government imposed. Wireless telegraphy
has been treated In the same spirit until
inventors have found it almost impossible
to'seoure Government licenses for expert
mental work.
When the National Telephone Company
was organized it began a long struggle
with the public authorities, State and local,
and that struggle will end finally four years
hence when the Government takes over
the entire telephone business OF the coun-
try. The National Telephone Company
now operates most OF the local exchanges
in Great Britain. The runk line business
il exclusively in the hands OF the Govern
ment. and Il is the most execrable system
imaginable
The National company has had no mo-
nopoly and when the municipal ownership
craze was at Its height several large cities
established local exchanges In competition
with the private company. These were all
failures, Glasgow most notably, and they
have one by one been sold 10 the Govern
ment at a loss. but still at prices much above
their value preliminary TO the establishment
OF a State monopoly in 1911.
In spite OF difficulties, however, there were
l25, $50 telephones in use In the country at
the beginning OF the present year. nearly
1oO. 600 OF these being the property OF the
National company. The number OF tele-
phones In London 10 $50. 900. OF which $500
are connected With the Post once or Gov

A few comparative figures upon Euro
