Revenue.
The gross revenue In Europe from tele-
phone service for 1907 --latest figures obtain
able) was about $75OOO,OOO. and for the
United States for that year, according to
the United States census reports, was about
s1S5 100000
Most OF the European countries In which
the telephone is a monopoly of the state
and conducted. as a branch Of the postal
and telegraph service, estimate that the
telephone service per sc produces a net
revenue. Thus the German postoffice esti-
mates that that branch nets the treasury
N,b6S,OOO annually or about 2 per cent on
the capital Of alSs52S.OoO. The depreciation
allowed is, however, low. Again, as the
postal, telegraph and telephone systems are
managed by the name state department 1t
is probable that the operating expenses Of
the telephone service proper would increase
considerably, provided due account were
kept OF many important items.

SELLS-FLOTo CIRCUS AT HAND
Great Western show VIII Exhibit Its
Attractions TO Omaha Folks
ON Monday,

Fresh from its triumphal tour through
the far west and middle states comes the
Sells-Floto circus tomorrow, better equipped
and more magnificent in its general APP
pointments than ever before.
1t Is something when a circus can boast
of having turned away more people by
reason Of lack of accommodations than any
attraction ever offered to the amusement
loving public. This, briefly, is the history
OF the Sells-Floto tour this year.
Taking a hint from other enterprises,
which mad proved beyond a doubt that
popular priced entertainments, provided
they were equally as good as their com
petltors, would receive unqualified public
support, the Selis-Foto' people came for
ward with the announcement that the regu-
lar conventional circus price OF admission
had been cut In half by them. If one takes
the evidence of tho present season as a
criterion to go by 1t would seem that the
popular price circus has come to stay.
The me-honored parade will be given
Monday morning al 10 O'Clock, and from II
can be gathered some idea OF the possibili-
ties OF this western circus. The pageant

the added special attractions offered by
seiIs-tloto may be summed up as follows:
Inc twin baby elephants, the only twin
elephants ever exhibited in public; two
teams Of the famous Armour grays (prize
winners on both contlnents) the celebrated
Nelson family OF acrobats, the Dayenports

Telephone Investment.
AS will be seen from the statistics pre-
scented, the telephone investment of the
world amounted on January 1. 1910 to 81
COO,0OOOO0 or SAG per station. and the tele-
phone conversations Of the world for the
year 1903 amounted to 1900, 10000 of which
the United States used nearly two and
one-half times those of all other countries
in the world.
1t is further shown that the United States
has over 65 per cent OF the entire world S
investment in the telephone business In the
last ten years the telephone stations
throughout civilization have increased from
less than 100000 stations to over 10000, 900,
or more than five fold, and the present
rapid development promises to continue.
1t is interesting to note that the United
states shows a growth during this same
period from 1.OO0 OO0-telephone stations to
over 100000, an increase OF over seven
fold The diagrams herewith indicate graph

OF the German empire, which leads all

by over 10000 stations the development OF
Great Britain. which has the second largest
