additional wires have been run to

makes telephone conversation from
Baltimore to Cape Charles or other
peninsula points equivalent to a con-
vNrsation over a land line fifty miles
shorter than by way of the former

cable was excessive. At several
points, special apparatus, weighing
], 400 pounds, was fastened to the
cable. These appliances, being very
delicate, had to be lowered with

TELEPHONE CABLE LAID
ACROSS CHESAPEAKE BAY
AN UNUSUAL ENGINEERING FEAT
COMPLETED NEASTERN SHORE

Telephone Conversation Between Bait
imore and the Eastern Shore Will
Be Greatly ImproVee in Future
1t has long been the hope of the
telephone engineer to success! !ully
construct cable which would salts
factorily carry telephone messages
for a great distance. While "open"
wires-that is, thos4 pairs of ex-
posed wires strung on poles-trans-
nit the messages satisfactorily, they
become bulky when used in large
numbers and are easily placed out of
service during sleet storms.
Until ten years ago, or so, cables
were used only in cities and large
towns, and even there their use re-
suited in electrical difficulties which
greatly lessened the advantages of
enclos ing the wires in cables. With
the best known apparatus and highest
engineering skill it was possible to
transmit conversations successfully
through not more than twenty miles
of cable. This fact confined under
ground service within tie orders of
cities and to short distance out-of-
town "runs " Long distance con-
versatiOns were carried around these
cities, rather than through their
underground cables, In order to avoid
the weakened transmission which
would have resulted.
New Process Discovered
However, about ten years ago
there was invented a process by
which it was made possible to use
telephone cables over long distances.
This invention was revolutionary in
its effect on telephone work, and the
Bell Telephone Company, through
this invention has been able to ex-
tend underground cables from New
York to Philadelphia, from Philadel-
phia to Wilmington and between
other large cites. The Bell Tele-
phone Company, with its wel-known
aggressiveness and wisdom, saw the
Importance of this invention and used
every effort in its power to develop
it into commercial practice, and,
having done so, to give the benefit
of it to its subscribers. AS a re-
suit of this, ormproef service over
long distances has been extended
into areas where fifteen years ago,
such service would have been out of
the question.
i'rior to this year, 1910, this meth
cd was never u,ed on sub marine
cable. Such cables, for telephone
work, could be used only for short
distances and then at a great detri-
ment to the service. Attempts have
been made abroad to use this method
of improving telephone CABLES a
small cable of this sort has just been
laid across the English Channel.
The cables abroad, however, are
little more than experiments.

STORM SEWERS CHOKEO
IN RECENT BIG STORM
City Engineer Pearse Says That
Storm Centered in Central Part
of City.

City Engineer Pearse reported last
night that every one of the storm
sewers on West avenue and all ON
Huntington avenue south of Forty
second street were choked in the
severe storm which swept over this
city last week. Both of the avenues
we're flooded. water running into the
basement of DIR. Corss' building at
West avenue and Thirty-third street,
end Huntington avenue being flood
ed from Twenty-eighth street to Thir-
:y-fifth street.
That the storm centered over the
central part OF the city is shown by
the fact that the storm sewers in
North End and East End were clear
snd that the water was drained OF
the streets in short while after the
storm passed.
Mr.. Pearse says that the choking OF
the sewers is brought about by the
debris and dirt from the streets being
washed into them by the water. He
says that in order to prevent this the
streets will have to be swept every day
and that in order to do the sweeping
the street force will have to be
doubled.
