City Couldn't Be Cut Off From
Outside World by Storm,
Say Experts.
CONDITIONS ARE RESULT
OF UNDERGROUND WIRES
Conduit System Maintained From
Here to Boston Protection
at All Times.

Washington can never be cut off from
the outer world by storm, according to
telephone and telegraph plant experts
who were interviewed today, and the
situation surrounding Omaha. Neb.,
following the storm Of yesterday, could
not be duplicated here, they say. WASH
inston is distinguished by being at one
end of the longest and most compre-
hensive piece Of underground telephone
and telegraph construction in the world,
As it runs from this city to Boston. 1T
Is believed that there is scarcely any
possibility Of the city being entirely
shut out through storm from the re-
mainder of the world
Although overhead construction in
| telegraph wires has it's advantages to
the plant managers, they say. the great
beauty of the underground service is
apparent to all. storm cannot leave
1T tangled and useless tumble of wires.
About the only thing that would wreck
the underground conduit and its cable
| would be an earthquake.
Washngton's big conduit has 200 wires
in it, which shoot northward and tar
every important city on the line to Bos-
ton Therefore, if there was general de-
struction Of wires 1t would always be
possible to cut in a message at some point
along the line.
ManagerTaft of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company here expressed the opln-
| lon today that there is slight possibility
of Washington's being left isolated by q
storm.

business goes to smash until 1t can De

Washington is situated would make IL
practically impossible to cut VI on en-
tirely. OF course, we were isolated Tor
a while March 4 four years ago, as every
one remembers. But the present under

yiate that, / think. at present"
III. b. Plankington, representing the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. told The Star that
the cable running from this city to bos.
ton is the longest and biggest thing or
the kind in the world SO far as he knows:
1--WE could be shut off from the south,
he said, "but we would always have an
outlet through Baltimore. Philadeiphia'
New York and Boston. Telegraph mes
sages go through the conduit on leased
wire. 1t is generally accepted that the
underground conduit for wires Is the only
thing to maintain where it Is practlcabie.
Long stretches of country In the west,
where there is no business, make 1t i'm
possible to maintain these conduits.

Longest Conduit in the World.

while the telegraph company does not
go in for long lines Of underground wire,
stretching across the country, in Wash
ington We are fortunately situated In that
respect The American Telegraph and
Telephone Company maintains conduit
said to be the longest in the world, and
we have wires In that conduit. This is
the only safe and efficient way to deal
with the matter.
Joseph Seele, plant manager of the
Western Union, corroborated Mr. Tart
views. He said. however, that 1t Is moi
practicable to run telegraph wires under
ground across long. barren and unpro-
ductive stretches of country, such as
would be encountered between mere ano
Chicago. On the other hand, he said tna'
wherever possible the underground con
struction Is being taken up.

system as far as repair work Is con,

two points-viz., that the company had
no right to discriminate as to the value

the owner which could not be estimated
in dollars and cents. The express COM

inns In the Ola Days.

Inns Ia Europe In ancient times We're
sometimes dangerous places, and a
great innaeepers convention was held
IN Germany early IN 1900 at which
plans were made for experimenting
murderous bonifaces. However, the
congress broke up ia n fight about the
relative merits Of English and French
hosteries, and nothing was done about
the matter.
During the meeting several hosts told
of the continued complaints received
from guests who had been kept awake
by teas in the beds. Ii was recon-
mended that guests be compelled 10
furnish their own bedding. that they
might have only themselves to blame
The proposition of changing the bed
and table linen. where any was used
once every two weeks was discussed
and rejected. The German innkeepers
boosted that they changed theirs every
m.ord's day but nobody believed
them
One enterprising delegate suggested
that men he stationed in belfry tow
or in every city 10 spy out approach
ing travellers. so that the innkeepers
might prepare for their arrival.

of instantaneous photographs moved
rapidly before the eye; Marcy. who
first used successfully the continuous
film ana Edison, who secured accu-
racy of motion by the perfOrations Of
the film and the sprocket wheel to
operate it. In 1895 Lumiere invented
the cinematograph and first projected
motion pictures on the screen, after

In winter there are about twelve
thousand exhibitions going on in the
United States in summer about ne
teen thousand. As each one averages
from three 10 eight reels AT each per
Torrance, and as the reels are changed
daily, twice a week or once a week,
the demand is seen To be enormous.
1t was estimated in 1911 that the NOV

Than $50 million dollars. The film
makers of the United States are turn
ing out about sixty new subjects

others are imported,
The popularity of the moving pic
ture has been largely due To its use
as an instrument of education. The
film companies have established edu-
cational departments and supply To
