With the increased use of overhead and underground cable construction, as well as of submarine cables. great impetus has been given to the making of the tubular sheathings with their enclosed punches of carefully insulated copper wire. There are, all told, among the lines of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and its allied companies, about 13,0O0 miles of cable, enough to reach from Boston to Benares. The weight of metal in this strand would amount to 60,000 tons. If the sheathing of this cable were spread out in a continuous surface 1t would completely cover New York's Cen tral park. The lead alone, which Is the chief component of the alloy used, repre- sents about one-fifth of the total quantity of lead produced In the United States in the latest year for which statistics are available, but the ccmpoistion Is much more expensive than pure lead would be, since 1t contains a considerable percentage of tin.

MARKS AN IMPORTANT ERA

Boston, May 19.-About all that keeps the sky from being darkened in the more thickly populated portions of this country by the ever expanding network ot teie- phone wires Is the custom that has grown up among the engineers Of concentrating their circuits in aerial cable. Similarly about all that prevents the available sup ply of tall straight sticks of timber, of the varieties capable of resisting the ef- feet of the moisture of the ground, from being exhausted by the demand for tele- phone poles Is this same improved meth cd of hanging the wires that carry the long distance communications of the na- tion So that the average man, as ne travels along highways and byways, and notes, swinging from poles that are not overloaded and not of excessive length, the fat but not ungraceful cables, has reason for thankfulness that their in- vention came in time to furnish relief at the beginning of the present era Of un- precedented demand for telephone service. single cable will carry wires which spread out on crossarms would darken the roadway beneath.
 This development of the cable idea IS one of the most important in the recent history of telephony The figures of the total amount of wire used in this country for carrying telephonic communications have become astounding, To meet the needs of more than 3,000 GOO Bell subscribers there were used, according to the latest annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph company not less than 6,007, ,732 miles of wire.

The cost of the whole outside tele- phone plant of which the cables have come to be a very important part, is one of the hardest things about telephony for the non-technical man to appreci- ate. He hears a great deal about the intricty of the switchboard, with its hundreds of thousands or even millions Of soldered parts, and when he goes into an exchange he sees a formidable array of well kept apparatus which he knows instantly must be very costly to construct and very costly to keep in order. Yet 1t is a fact that from two-thirds to three fourths of the total expenditure in the telephone system Is required for the plant outside the exchange, that is, for conduits, polcs cables and wire. The scrap value of the lead and copper represented in the Bell lines and cables alone Is equal at present prices to not less than eighty million dollars-enough, according to as- sessors' valuations to buy up the taxable property of such a city as Columbus, Ohio, or Fall River, Mass.
 As keeping down the cost of telephone service and at the same time rendering the overhead construction unobjectlonable from the esthetic point of view, the in- creased employment of aerial cable is a matter of general concern. In the Bell system as a whole the average number of miles of wire on a mile of pole line has grown from 5,6 on January l, 1900, to 9.4 on January 1. 1907. In the year 1906 the increase in miles of pole line was 9334, while the increase in miles of wire was 195,937. ratio of more than twenty to one. Such figures demonstrate statls- tically what everybody knows who travels with his eyes open. that more and more of the overhead telephone wires are be- ing conveyed from place to place by cable on short unobtrusive poles.

of the service, which, with the best of management, will sometimes occur
 A remedy for the overloaded condition of the poles was fortunately devised about the beginning of the present marked ex- pansion of the traffic. In the city of Pittsburg the engineers had an especially difficult task because the topography is exceedingly rough. with winding streets and almost an entire absence of usable alleys. For employment in such com munity open wire lines were particularly impracticable, and about 1897 the system was worked out and decided upon that has become known as the aerial cable, or all-cable system. This has now be- come very familiar throughout the United States. It's general adoption led President Frederick F. Fish of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company, to say in his report of progress during 1906:
 "The improvement in cables, made within the past few years. has revolution ized the art of telephone line construction. Not only Is 1t now possible to place in underground ducts cables containing four hundred or even six hundred circuits, but a pole line the carrying capacity of which would have been exhausted by forty pairs of open wires, can carry six hundred pairs of wires in the form of cables. The old-fashioned exchange pole inc IdTely cdTTleu HlOre Indn twenty pairs of open wires. When an open wire aerial line has reached the low limit of it's carrying capacity. 1t must be taken down and a larger line built, unless there is an opportunity for a new line, which frequently Is not the case In either event there Is a great waste as compared with a type of construction in which, by the use of cables, given pole line may have e capacity many times as great. Sound economy has many times in the past year required the scrapping of all the wires on a pole line, cable being substituted for them, as the only way of securing the enlargement of facilities that was re- quired, and not unfrequently 1t has been necessary to reconstruct the whole line as the cheapest way of securing the op- portunity for growth that was re- quired."
