EUROPE FAR BEHIND AMERICA
Seven Million of the Nine Million Tele
phones in the World Are in
This Country.

OF 100000 telephones in the world
100000 are in America, 100000 in
Europe and the other 100000 scattered
over the remainder of the planets sur.
face. Commenting on these recent es-
Inmates and their probable correctness
the National Telephone Journal of
London says:
The reason why Europe cuts so
poor figure in comparison with
America is that four or five of the
most civilized and populoous coun-
tries are extraordinarily backward in
telephone development. France, Aus
trfa, Hungary, Belgium, Holland and
Italy-in the first four of which the
telephone is entirely in the hands of
the government-may be instanced. In
the whole of France there are less
than 10000 stations, and in Austria
and Hungary combined there are act
ually fewer telephones than in the
city of Chicago.
Ancient cities of universal renown,
counting 100000 or 500 900 inhabitants,
and moreover of greater commercial
Importance, such as Lyons, Marseilles
Naples, Antwerp and Prague are far
behind American towns with $4,000 to
100000 inhabitants, such as Peoroia
st. Joseph, Dayton and Norfolk, Va.
which few Europeans have ever heard
of; while Vienna, with population
OF nearly 100000, has not so many
stations as San Francisco, with $50,
| 600 souls. If the countries Of cen
trail and western Europe were as vel
developed telephonically as even Great
Britain and Germany, to say nothine
OF Scandinavia, the comparison with
America would be vastly more flat
tering."

A Youthful Admirer.

Miss Ethel Barrymore's marriage
has not affected her popularity. The
proof of this lies in pretty story: 4sl
Every night during an engagement
in Boston a tiny bunch of violets was
sent to her. She always left the vio-
lets in her dressing room, but one
night she pinned the purple flowers
to her belt, and the following day,
when the usual fresh bouquet came to
her, this scrawl came with it.
"Dere friend, Miss Barrymore: I
seen you wear my vilets, SO kno you
got them. Tonight locke at me, will
be in top gallery first roe in my shirt
sleeves and my legs hanging over the
front of the GALAXY"
Miss Barrymore looked. Her admir-
err, bootblack of or 9 years, was
in the place and attitude he had prom
Used, and she rewarded him with a
smile and a nod of recognition.

A Soldier of Two Nations.

To be at once a soldier in the
French and German armies is the
unique position of young man named
Mans, whose parents are German SUBJ
jects, who who were residing in Paris
when he was born He considered him
self German subject and served his
two years in the German army at
Metz. He then returned to Paris,
where he was informed that he was
a French subject and must serve two
years in the French army. He did so,
and remained with the division at
Nancy for the full term. Since then
Mans has first been called to the Ger
man and then to the French army to
attend the annual training. When he
was called on to serve in the great
military maneuvers in the autumn in
both France and Germany he was
forced to state that he could not be
present at both, and SO the story came
out.

land.
Cummings assisted the Stills in the
search, and after several days the
buried articles were found and un-
earthed. The unearthing of the barrel
required picks and shovels and several
hours work in a deep canyon.
According to legend the emigrants
were pursued for several days by the
Indians, who shot many of their oxen,
and they were forced to make the trip
on foot. In order that the journey
could be made the more quickly from
the hostile country of the redmen the
barrel of articles which has just been
unearthed was buried.-Berkeley cor

ALL WANTED TO SEE FATHER
Once When Leader of Great Crusade
Had Occasion to Regret His
Popularity.

An amusing result of the popularity
OF Father Mathew, the great temper
ance advocate, is recorded in a re-
cent book by Edward Gilliat, M. A.,
entitled Heroes of Modern Crusades."
Father Mathew had arrived in the
dusk of the evening at the house of a
parish priest in a remote part of Gal
way. His host conducted him to a
room on the ground floor, in which
was large bay window without blind
or curtain.
No sooner was Father Mathew in
bed than he turned his face to the
wall and fell into a deep slumber.
Awakened, as usual, at an early hour
in the morning, he opened his eyes,
ward the window. What was his dis
may to see crowd of people of both
sexes and all ages standing tiptoe in
front of the big bay window, some
even dattening their noses against the
glass, all eager to get peep at his
reverence.
A more modest man than he did not
SAlSC, anu great WAS HIS SluUdlld
ment. He looked round furtively for
bell rope, but such luxury was
not to be thought of in priests house
in Galway! He dare not even put a
leg out to stamp on the floor; he was
fairly in prison between the blankets.
The crowd was growing larger and
the talk louder. He could hear bits,
such as:
"Do We see him, Mary, asthore?"
Danny, agra, lave me take look,
an God bless We, child"
ooh, wisha, there's the blessed
priest abed!"
Nanny, there he lies, a-snoozin!
can see his poll!"
Three mortal hours did the prisoner
wish for deliverance. Then his host
came tapping, afraid to disturb his
guest too early, saw the boys at gaze,
and sent Pat to clear them off the
house front.

certain that opinion in England will
be for four ships more. If the ques.

often Too MANY Pictures.

Attention was called to the fact
that there are no pictures on the walls
of the house of Mark Twain, in which
his daughter was recently married to
the Russian pianist, Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch, because the author thinks
that the natural pictures framed by
the easements are much more beauti.
full than any artificial ones can be.
The trouble with most houses is that
there are too many pictures, and this
is especially often the case where the
natural beauty of the landscape ought
not to be disregarded.

A practical demonstration of real
color photography was given in the
Monroe studio on West Third South
yesterday By McGinnis & Clifton, who
are showing the color plates at the
Orpheum this week.
The subject chosen for the first ex-
posure was Briant s. Young, one of the
numerous grandsons of the late Brig
ham Young. The team was happy in
securing Mr.. Young, as they feel that
his ancestry will prove a great card in
future press notices They also photo
graphed in color the handsome blonde
young woman who adorns the front Of
fee of the studio.
The gathering was given a scientific
tinge by the presence of DR.. l.. W.
Hartman and Professor w. c. Ebaugh
of the university, the latter being pres
ident of the Utah Academy of Science.
The process proved interesting, repre-
serting as it does the latest develop
ment in the Photographic art. To begin
with, little device is used to test the
actinic quality of the light, as the plates
are expensive and experiments are cost
ly. Then after the focus is secured. a
special yellow filter is attached to the
lens to arrest the blue and violet rays,
so that the other colors of the spectrum
may get a look-in before the plate dies
of sunstroke. The exposure lasts from
two to three minutes, provided the sub
ject doesn't have nervous prostratiOn
before the expiration of that period.
Ten different solutions in the dark room
do the rest.
The result is a beautiful piece of
glass, in which all the colors within TO-
Gus of the camera are faithfully repro
duced in their original Iustre, embellish-
ing a perfect negative photograph. The
process stops here, and anybody who
can figure out a way to make prints
