give an audible and visual signal at
the main office.
The heating of the sub-stations also
had to be regulated in some manner
and this was done by placing an ordin-
airy Is C. p, 10 volt lamp on the in
side of each line switch unit SO that
when the dust proof covers are let
down the heat from this lamp will be
retained within the boards and the
apparatus kept in an even tempera-
ture. These lamps are controlled au-
tomatically by means of a termostat
located within each board.
Another interesting feature in con-
nection with the sub-stations is the
wire chiefs test circuit. The tenth in
coming trunk or connector switch on
each line switch unit is wired for
testing any subscribers lines and
these trunks appear in the wire chiefs
desk in the main office so that he can
plug in on any sub-statiOn board, call
the desired number with his calling
device and proceed with the standard
wire chiefs tests. AS stated above
the entire main office equipment is in
stalled on one floor of the building
thus making a most modern plant
All the trunk switches for main of
flee and the sub-stations are mounted
on boards located on the left of the
line switch units. Space for future
growth has also been provided for
these boards.
To the left of the power-board is
located the supervisory board for the
entire plant. On this board is mount
ed in separate groups the tell-tale
and alarm lamps for each office and
n tho n connection Wit
the charging and supervision of the
sub-stations. All the power wiring
both at the sub-stations and main Of

der the floor of the building and &C

Gated near the distributing board, is

special circuits for testing the sub

between the two-positions there has
been installed ten rows of lamps and

trunk line should be in trouble the
supervisory lamp representing that

very similar to monitor desk in the

tured and installed by the Automatic

ONE OF ERIN'S FAIRIES.
A Tricky Chap Is lreland's Little Old
Man, the leprechaun.

The story of the boy who was ex-
hibited throughout Scotland as
genuine Irish leprechaun leads one to
ask what exactly a leprechaun is, for,
of course. each variety of fairy has
its special characteristics
The leprechaun is peculiar to Ire
land and is in the form of a little old
man. by profession a maker of brogueS.
He is only discovered by the sound
of the hammering of his brogues, and
any one capturing him can induce him
by threats to reveal where his wealth
Is hidden.
But no one yet has laid hands on
that wealth. for If you take your eye

and even then the treasure escaped I'M

against all temptations, kept his eye on
the little brogue maker until the money
was revealed in field of ragwort. But
he had no bag. So he tied his garter

the money was hid and went to fetch
one only to find on his return that
every ragwort in the field was adorned
with a red garter.-London Chronicle.

The special feature of this board is
the Mounting of all relays, except
ing those used in the cord circuits on
a separate relay rack mounted in the
toll room. Provision was also made
so that during hours of light traffic
all the information, trouble and re-
cording toll trunks can be switched
onto the farmer line position thereby
making it possible for one operator to
handle all the calls. The automatic
subscribers call all farmer lines by
means of automatic switches but the
connection from farmer to farmer and
toll to farmer are made at the party
line position.
A fire alarm circuit was installed in
the information and trouble clerks
desk so that when an automatic sub
scriber sends in an alar mby calling
the main engine house No. 1924, the
operator will also receive the report
and be ready to give the location to
subscribers calling for same. This
circuit can also be switched onto the

FROM OTHER PENS
/ DEMOCRATIC SENATE.


Democratic control of the senate in
the next congress is now assured be-
yond question. The incoming admin
istration will have about as narrow a
margin of party support in the upper
branch of congress as the second
Cleveland administration had in 1898
and 1894. In the senate after March
4 next there will be two Democrats
jersey, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Montana, Colorado,
Nevada, Oregon and Arizona-forty in
all. There will be one Democrat from
each of these eight states: Maine, New
York, Maryland, West Virginia, ohio,
Kansas, Kentucky. and Nebraska That
makes a minimum strength of forty
eight votes-enough to control with
the aid of the vice president. A num-
Der of states have failed so far to elect
senators. There are deadlocks in Illi-
nois (where two seats are involved),
New Ham pshire, Delaware, West Vir-
ginia and Wyoming. The New Mexico
legislature has Just adopted resolu-
ton declaring Mr.. Falls reelection at
the session of last spring invalid, and
a new election will be held there. The
legislature in Delaware is Democratic,
and if it elects at all will probably
Progressives will have to be chosen,
however, in all the other deadlocked
states to raise the opposition strength
to forty-seven. The chances are that
there will be two more Democrats
elected-one from Delaware and one
from Illinois-and that the Demo-
cratic vote in the senate after March
will be at least fifty. Moreover,
Maryland will probably elect a Demo-
cratic senator in January, 1914, to
replace Mr.. Jackson, Republican, ap-
pointed by Governor Goldsborough to
serve ad interim.s On the whole, it
is well that the Wilson administra-
ton should lave full power at Wash
ington for the next two years and be
compelled to shoulder all responsible
| ity for the conduct of the govern
ment- The voters decided last fall to
give the Democratic party another
| chance A senate in the hands of the
opposition would be a standing excuse
for the nonfulfilment of party prom
| ises. Now they must be fulfilled and
the administration must stand or fall
on its record of actual performance.

The Mexican crisis has come ar a
most awkward time for the govern
ment of the United States. 1t is So
| near the change in the national admin
istration that President Taft cannot
feel free, in the sense he would have
| been a few months ago, to act wholly
] in accordance with his own Judgment
and that of his official advisers, and
| the leaders of the ma jority in the SEN
ate realize that it will soon give place
to control by the party which is to hold
the entire power of the federal gov
eminent after March L.
The president displayed admirable
self-eontrol and moderation during the
campaign last year in respect to the
Mexican situation. for the way was
wide before him to play politics by in
volving the country in a foreign war.
Now he has about fortnight more to
serve and he will undoubtedly do
everything he can, within the limits of
imperative duty, to avoid handing over
a war to his successor President-elect
Wilson must face difficult and dan
gerous situation in Mexico, however
careful Mr.. Taft may be to give him a
free hand.
| For the storm in the unhappy coun-
| try south of the United States is not
going to blow over and be succeeded
by calm weather, for a long time to
come. The Generalization of war ard
rapine has spread too far and tainted
too many of the Inhabitants. It will
take years, at best, to get the govern
ment on a firm and permanent founda-
ton again, and to relieve the distress
directly and indirectly resulting from
prolonged disorder and armed strife,
Mexico will be in constant danger until
business and industry can be restored
to their natural condition, and that is
not a task for a month or a year.
