ELEVATIONS IN NEW YORK.
A Partial Dictionary of Attitudes Is sued by United States Geo.
 logical Survey.

: Since 1892 the United States Geolog-. ical Survey in it's topographic mapping in the State of New York, has been acting in cooperation with the State, both contributing financially to the work
 The latest evidence of the co-opera.- tive work between the Federal survey and the State is Bulletin 514 just is- sued by the Survey which contains Results of Spirit Leveling in New. York, 1906 to 1911, under the direction of R. B. Marshall, Chief Geographer. This bulletin is in reality an index to marks set by the Survey and eleva- tions adjusted by the Coast and Geo. detic Survey and the report should be consulted by engineers, surveyors, and those who have occasion to use the bench mark elevations, These eleva- tions have been determined by the Geological Survey in connection with it's topographic surveying, and they afford starting points for a survey of any kind that may be contemplated.
 While the Surveys topographic maps show large number of elevations, many of them are approximate, being stated only to the nearest foot;s in this bulletin the elevations are given to thousandths of foot. For in stance, the highest bench mark in New York noted in the report is de- scribed as follows:
 "Debruce, 31 miles south of, 1925 feet south of Lily Lake, 150 feet south of small marsh, 26O feet north of sum init, on west margin of road, in rock outerop; aluminium tablet stamped '2140 ADJ 1903' 2,148. 461 feet.'' a Tn addition to these descriptions of datum points the bulletin contains a list of more than 2,3OO secondary, ele- vations from records and topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey, including attitudes of well
 known summits, water-surface eleva- tions of prominent lakes, and other useful elevations. Such elevations are approximate only and should not be used for accurate work
 Mount Marcy, the well known peak 1 in Essex county, is the highest point
 in the State, with an elevation of 5,S44 feet above mean sea level.
 | A copy of Bulletin 514 as. we'll as
 Bulletin 281, which contains the re suits of spirit leveling done in the
 State from 1896 to 1905, may be obtain led free on application to the Director
 of the Geological Survey at Washing

KAISER UNABLE
 TO LEAVE BED
Much Uneasiness Felt For His
 Majesty-His Trip Held Up

Cassel, Aug. 2e-still suffering from the rheumatic fever with which he was stricken while spending the week end at Wilhelmshohen, three miles from here, the Kaiser remained in bed today. Though yesterdays assurance es that His Majesty's aliment is not at all serious were resumed, today, in the most emphatic terms, considerable uneasiness is felt concerning him.
 His constitution is not strong and in his case complaints which are or dinariiy considered trifling have ire quently, in the past, assumed seri- ous character. His doctors do no1 promise that he will be able. to re turn to Berlin. Thursday, as it was in. tended but say they hope by tha time he will be able to travel.

TELEPHONE INCREASE
For the First Seven Months
 the Year.

The proof of the value of any arti- cle lies in the scope of it's use. Talk ing this for fact. the value of tele- phone service to the public at large in the State of Connecticut is strik- ingly shown by the gain in The Southern New England Telephone Co.'S territory during the first seven months of this year, according to official fig ures taken from the company's rec ords.
 On January list, 1912 there were 9S,- 196 telephones in operation in the State of Connecticut On July 31st 1912, this total had been increased to 9s,304 telephones, or an increase o1 CLOS. This represents an average growth of nearly 900 telephones per month. tWenty-seven telephones per day. more than one telephone install ed for each hour since the first of the year This gain is nearly as large as the total number of stations in 1885, when 6,S05 telephones were ir operation in the State. In other words the gain in telephones for the first seven months in 1912 has been greater than the total gain from 1878, when the system was started in New Haven until 1Se5-a period of seventen years.
 Up to date the. largest gain for the year in the large city offices has been in New Haven where the. increase has been 7e0, Hartford being second with 699 Tn the second group the greatest increase has been made by Stamford with 27S the runner up be- ing New London with 225, while Win sted tops the list of the third division with gain of 306, Milford being in second place with 173.
 On the first of January 1912, the lo- cal Exchange had S,57S stations, the figure on July 31st being 9,e0S an in crease of 430 during the first hall year
