ing adapted to smaller exchanges, in
which Che operators signal is given
by a tiny incandescent electric lamp.
The one place in the telephone sys-
TEN whore a bell never rings is now
the central office.
Some of the early switchboards
were big frames set along the side
Of the operating room, the connec-
tions being made by boys who ran
from one point to another as the
calls came in. Others were like elon-
gated tables, the swltch-sockets be-
ing set into the FIAT top and the
cords for connecting them being sus-
pended from the ceiling Apparatus

but Il Is curious commentary on
the lack of progressiveness in some
directions of our transatlantic cous-
ms that it Is still in use in some of
the government operated exchanges
of Europe.
In the last few years there have
been devised automatic" telephone
systems in which the subscriber does
the work OF making connections be-
tween his lines and the lines of 9TH
.er subscribers, instead of that work
being done by an operator In the
central Office.
Value of Apparatus.
The census report says "The to-
tai value Of telephone apparatus
manufactured. as reported in the
census of 1905, had a value of $15,-
.S63,G9S. as compared with $1O,512.-
412 for the vensus OF 1900. These
figures do not reveal all the facts. for
during the period covered no greater
activity was shown in any depart
ment Of electrical application than in
telephony.
"The value returned for the A.
2S3 central swltchboards was So
154f47. to which should be added
the 3,917 private exchange boards
Of a value of'S56i.795. making to-
tai Of $5,719,2i2. To this should be
added a large proportion Of the value
of S2,O71,S95 reported for telephon-
ic parts and supplies. The subscrib-
er's apparatus used in connection
with these exchange boards and
smaller equipments was reported asI
having a value of $S,003,735, of
which S6,4S3,4lS was represented Ny
complete sets of transmitters and re-
ceiyers." And this is just the appa-
ratus and equipment for central Of

RESPONSE to the Call.

A special meeting Of the fire depart
ment will be held at the village hall
next Tuesday evening. The annual
eletion of officers will take place at this
meeting and steps will be taken to re-
vive the dropping spirits of the mem
bership, thereby to promote the etticien-
cy of the department. The lack Of dis
cipline, due mainly want of practice, has
been discouraging to the few who have
tried earnestly to bring the department

vailing dlsinteredness in matter OF
such importance is hard to excuse Or
explain. The members are urged to
come out to this meeting, prepared to
10 something worth the while.
