Learn to Use the Telephone.

"Only about one person in every ten
knows how to properly use the tele-
Phone" said a district manager of one
of the local companies. Eyes, sir, I'll
stand by my guns on that assertion !;
and 1 think I can prove my point. Nine
out of every ten persons talk entirely
too loud over the telephone. They
actually shout and make so much noise
that they drown out all semblance Of
clearness. Then they can't hear, and
the first thing you know there is a
complaint about poor connection and
faulty service The correct way to talk
over the telephone is to talk as you do
in ordinary conversation, or even tri-
fle lower. People can't seem to real
ize that the telephone will carry a
whisper even. No, they must talk loud
enough to be heard from 10th and
Chestnut streets to Germantown, II
those be the connected points. Just
try yourself Try the low, we'll modu-
lated voice, and see If you do not get
infinitely better service out Of your
telephone in the future"

BLAZE 1900 FEET HIGH.

ABOVE 1t Column of Smoke As-
cended to a Height Of 5000 Feet.
The greatest oil fire in history IL
supposed to have been the fire which
by a conservative estimate destroyed
more than 100000 barrels of oil last
year in the San Geronimo field near
Tampico, Mexico
The oil stratum was struck at a
depth Of 1,84S feet in six-inch cased
well. The torrent of Oil burst forth
and was quickly followed by a blow
out OF gas which opened big orif1ce
In the earth's surface, swallowing up
the derrick and whole drilling outfit,
including the engine and boiler. The
gas and oil were ignited from the fire
under the boiler and the great fire was
In this manner started
1t burned for sixty-two days. The
vortex or crater through which the oil
poured was gradually enlarged until it
was more than 500 feet wide. A rim Of
rocks and earth was formed around its
outer edge resembling volcanoes era
ter According to the Technical World
the blaze extended to a height Of from
1 400 to 1900 feet and the column of
black smoke rose above it to a height
Of about 1900 feet. On top Of the
smoke rested great white cloud of
vapor which was estimated to extend
skyward to an additional height Of
1000 feet. The blaze could be seen
200 miles.
The great oil fire was extinguished
by means Of six centrifugal pumps
which were kept constantly busy for
two weeks throwing mud and water
into the crater. Heavy discharges Of
dynamite around the rim of the orifice
also aided in the extinguishing work.
Shortly after the flames were put out
the oil burst forth again in greater vol
ume than ever and it's output was esti-
mated at 10000 barrels day. 1t has
been difficult problem to care for the
oil. The Mexican government sent sew
eral hundred soldiers to the scene to
assist the owners of the we'll in build
ing earthen reservoirs for temporary
storage of the product. The oil over
flowed these reservoirs and large guam
titles escaped into the San Geronimo
River and Lake Tamiahua.
