!, Recently when visiting the depart-
ment OF physics at the University of
North Dakota we were she wn complete
central such as Is used In the larger
cities like Grand Forks and Fargo
which had been set up by one of the
members OF the class Of applied eIec-
ltricity. The central was located ifi
the ceriter OF the room and d standard
telephone was placed af either END
To one who does not understand the
sexact processes by which person il
gotten over the telephone the opera
tion Of this model plant was very in
itereeting and Instructive. When the
pafty calling up central took down
their receiver 1t lighted a white light
ito the left of the number of the phone
.of the person calling upon the vertical
board In front { the operator alt
central. Central took a metallic plug
connected with cord and inserted
1T into a metallic socket which Is con-
snected with the line sr the party. cali
ing UP and is situated on the vertical
board Just above the signal lamp
When the plug was inserted M the
socket the light on the perpend dicufaIr'
board went ont New central throws
a switch and asks the person calling
up what number they want and sets
the metallic plug at the other end
of the cord into the metallic socket
connected with the line of the party
desired, which lights light ON a
shelf at the bottom Of the vertical
board, and then rings the party. AS
soon as they answer the light on che
shelf goes out.

Ringing of.

When one party hangs up their re-
-ceiver the light on the shelf cores
ponding to the position of the plug
that is inserted into the socket con-
meeting with their phone is lighted
and when the other party hangs up
his receiver the light on the shalt cor
responding to the plug inserted into
the socket connecting with phone is
lighted. When both lamps on the shelf
corresponding to the plugs used in
connecting the parties are lighted
central knows chat both parties are
through talking and have hung. up
their receivers and she pulls out the
plugs. With the calling and receiving
parties. andcoentral all in one. room it
is very easy to follow the steps in the
process.
To summarize:
A white light burning on the vertical
board means that the party whose
number is at the right hand OF the
light is trying to get central.
A single white light belonging TO
the plug in the socket Of the called
party burning on the shelf when both
plugs are in the sockets means that
central has connected the calling party
with the called party but that the CALI
ed party has not answered.

REUNIONS.
The Wirz Monument.

At the Annual Reunion at Grand
Army Park the feature OF the day was
an eloquent, forcible address by Pas'
Commander Jasper P. Darling on the
Wirz Monument. This is published in
full I'm the Saturday Evening Call. Ihe
address concluded with this striking
admonition to the Daughters of The
Confederacy:
You have ignored the dying PRAYER
of your devoted sires-they WHO gave
of their blood and brain and Drawn
for the sacred boon of a worthy monu-
ment, where valor met valor in battle
shock-where courage and consecra-
ton won a name that should never die.
Insofar as you are able. you have
lowered the hight of every shaft OF
bronze entablature builded to the mem
ory of your soldier-dead, down to a
common level with that of Henry WirZ.
"You can never soil the uniform Of
blue, but you have sullied the uniform
of gray and you have insulted the in
telligence and patriotism of the goth
century"
