THE BRITISH WAY.

Within a few months the telephone
system of the British Islands viii be-
come a state monopoly A very con-
siderable development of telephone
facilities is expected to take place
under postoffice management.
The telegraph system throughout the
United Kingdom is regulated by
series of acts extending from 1853 to
1900. For many years telephones were
not regarded as falling within the pro-
visions of these acts, but in 1880, it
was decided thai they were on the
same footing under the acts as tele-
graphs The telegraph act OF 1868
empowered the Postmaster General to
buy up telegraph companies. and soon
thereafter he did so. Under the tele-
graph act of 1863 the monopoly of
telegraphs was given to him. Accord
ingly. all powers for working tele-
graphs, including telephones, are now
merged in the Postmaster General or
in licensees deriving their rights from
him. The government, instead of buy
ing up the patents and taking the tele-
phone service into its own hands,
deemed it prudent to grant licenses to
the companies that held the patents
and had commenced work
At first each of the licenses was APP
plicabIe only within a limited area;
but in 1884 the government resolved
that all future licenses should be appIi-
cable over the entire Kingdom, and
not merely within small districts. This
led to the organization of large COM
panies and the extinction of small
companies; and by 1892 practically all
the telephone business of the country
was in the hands of the National Tele-
phone company, as the licensee of the
postoffice. In that year an agreement
was made and an act passed which re-
suited in the acquisition by the govern
ment of the trunk lines. connecting
one town with another, by purchase
from the National Telephone company
in 1896 at a cost Of upward of $2,233,-
1928 Since then the trunk lines have
local lines by the company, and a
working agreement has existed be-
tween them. The company's license
will expire on December 81, 1911, at
which time the postofice will take over
the telephones.
The National Telephone company,
whose capital account shows an expen-
diture of S77,S64,OOO on the system,
has been making a profit of more than
S4,S66.500 annually upon an issued
capital of s55,964,75O. while paying to
the government $1,459.950 a year in

pole by monoplane. has just packed UP

NEW MEANS OF PUBLICITY.

Advertising has become one of the
great industries of the world and not
only lends itself to the success of
every other business, but makes every
other enterprise or invention in some
way serve its ends.
The Luft Verkersh- Gesellschaft, of
Berlin, has recently inaugurated a
striking advertising novelty. One of
the large dirigible balloons of this COM
pany flies over the city every clear
evening Magic lanterns placed on
each side of the car project advertise
ments onto a sheet of white canvas
fastened on the envelope of the bal
loon. These advertisements can easily
be read from the ground below The
attention ofsthe people on the streets
is attracted by the noise of the engine
and by electric lights turned on in the
car between each advertisement.
This form of publicity is being pat
ronized by many of the important
firms of Berlin and of Germany, and
the cost per night is $3.50. For this
sum each advertisement is projected 80
times onto each side of the balloon for
a period of 10 seconds.
Perhaps it will not be long before
the aeroplanes will become flying an
nouncements of bargain sales. We
may soon be able to read in the sky
that Blank & Co. are selling $500
shoes for S29S.
