the matter, 1t is possible that the
crossing may be built In its entirety
by the Union Pacific company and
paid for by the Bamberger company.
The courts order makes it necessary
that the crossing should be complet-

done. and the overhead crossing ready
for service June "a, 1t Is optional with

a mile or so away. The singers sang
into telephones in their dressing
rooms.
Without the least variation in dis
tinctness the eighty telephones were
switched to a Washington wire and
addresses came from Mr.. Bell, Mr..
Carnegie, Commander Peary and Ad-
miral Chester, who greeted the New
York diners from their own banquet
hall at the capital city. In the
course of his address Mr. Bell told
his visible audience in Washington
and his invisible audience in New
York that it was his hope that the
development of telephone science
would reach such perfection that the
user of an instrument would not
only hear the voice of the person at
the other end of the wire, but that
he would have before him the actual
picture of that individual. He also
predicted that within a short time
the use Of the long distance wires
would be vastly increased so that
boards of directors could hold meet
ings and enjoy general and conf
Dental discussion with the various
directors scattered from New York
to California.

optimistic scientist predicted the time
when a whole family might sit quietly
at their own fireside in any part OF
the country and hear the rendition OF
operas being given in great muslcai
centers AS if this was not sufficiently
wonderful. he went on to say that as
an adjunct of this form of domestic
endowment the actual moving figures
of the characters in these operas would
be reflected upon a screen and the
whole thing so synchroniZed that the
voices and action of the characters
would present a perfect illusion. In
the light of Mr.. Bells prophecy II Is
not at all unreasonable to believe that
the next few years will bring fui-
fillment of that dream OF marvellous
scientific accomplishment.

UNCLE SANS
WAY OF DOING IT.
How He Wishes All the World a
Happy New Year.

AT midnight Uncle Sam wishes all
"a the world happy New Year.
4 "A The tick of the time signal in
strument in the United States
naval observatory at Washington
flashes Americas greeting to the ma
tions of the world.
This sending forth of a New Year
greeting is sentimental in it's nature
perhaps. but it is practical in it's Illus
tratiOn of the accurate time service
that has been adopted by the United
States and the organization of stand
ard time schedule in this country.
which it is hoped some day will extend
throughout the world: So these New
Year greetings OF Uncle Sans. which
have become an annual feature of the
national observatory. give an object
lesson to the nations that may lead to
as great reform in universal time
system as Pope Gregory instituted in
the correction of the Julian calendar
The first of these New Year messages
was sent out in 1903, the telegraph
with great interest and energy The
signals were transmitted at midnight
and 1. 2 and 3 a. m. so that each great
section of the country received its own
midnight signal direct from the naval
observatory. SO successfully was the
plan carried out and so general was
the interest in 1t that it was decided
to make it feature thereafter.
Some of the messages sent out on
these occasions are received i'm an in
credibly short time. For instance. the
time signal last year was received at
Sydney. Australia, in two and one
fourth seconds: at Madras. India, in a
fraction more than fifty-three seconds:
at Cape Town, Africa, in two minutes
and thirty-five seconds; at Madrid,
Spain. in two and One-half minutes: at
Lick observatory, Mount Hamilton.
California, in twenty-four one-hun-
dredthS of a second. and at Harvard
observatory. Cambridge, in one-tenth
of q second.
The Importance of this time service
is evidenced by the fact that it fur
niSheS absolute standard time for not
only navigators at all the chief seaports
of the United States, but for the entire
country except the Pacific coast. which
receives similar service from the
naval observatory at the Mare Island
yard. When it is understood that the
service is rendered at no expense what
ever to the government. being merely
incidental to the work required for the
rating of chronometers for naval YES
sells, the results attained will appear ali
the more acceptable. The time signal
is sent out daily at noon on seventy
fifth meridian time, with an average.
error for the year of only fifteen hun
dredths of second The signal goes
over the wires of the various telegraph
and telephone companies. regulating
eighteen government time balls and
10000 public and private clocks
throughout the country.
The accuracy required in the opera
ion may be appreciated when it is
known that the minutest fractions Of
seconds are shaved into infnitesimal
quantities that almost rival the twin
king of the hair splitting timekeeper
of ancient Intiia.-New York Times.

END FOR MARK TWAIN?

A large and loyal clientele of Mark
Twain admirers will enter an earnest
protest against the verdict of the
greatest of American humorists that
the end of his life is approaching, or
at least that his pen will give us no
more Huck Films. no more Tom Saw
yers, no more '1nnocents'' and mo
more manifestations of the genius
which has kept the world laughing
for nearly half century. Hamlet's
eulogy of Yorrick may we'll be pro-
nounced in the presence of Samuel
l.. Clemens, "a fellow of infinite jest,
a most excellent fancy" and the
Borrowing admirers will be slow to
realize that to the book and volume
Of each and every life there must be
the same inexorable, inescapable
"Finis"
There was something infinitely pa
thetic, as we'll as profoundly sig
nificant, in the refusal of Mr.. Glenn
rival from the Bermudas, where he
had gone in search of health, to at
tempt even the most commonplace
jest. The facile wit recoiled from
the mockery of making merry in the
penumbra of the great eclipse and
for once and probably the first time
in his life, Mark Twain, quite chap
fallen. had ne "gibe, no gambol, no
flash of merriment that was won't to
set the table in roar" Most sim
lister portent of all, he announced
that he would not be able to COM
plete any of the unfinished works
upon which he was engaged when
his health began to fail. One born
under the spell of Pelpomene is exc
pected to make a tragic exit, but
probably the most pathetic and
dramatic of all is that of him above
whose cradle the muse of comedy
bent and welcomed him into a world
of laughter and song
