Some time ago an old man revisiting
London after forty years in Australia
was asked what appeared to him most
strange in his walks about town. He
said it was the change in the public
attitude toward the cat. In his young
days if a cat appeared in the street 1T
was a signal to throw stones at it or
shout at it or set a dog on it; in any
case to rouse a hostile demonstration,
and the cat had TO gallop for its life.
Now he saw them sitting undisturbed
ON doorsteps and corners all over the

This drawing room, which opened
out~of the boudoir, was a large apart

and a tapestry representing the doings

belonged to a country house Of Mon
sieur Gorges, the landlord, was a bit
too big for the drawing room of No.

dinner by a Chicago trust magnate.
The dinner was superb, but at it's end
the trust magnate asked the tenor to

A Fair EXCHANGE.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Electricity has now been taught the ac-
complishment, which many people never
can learn, of not bothering a person If he
is busy. 1t Is in telephone systems that
this new ability has proven most useful
SO far. A concern may lave a dozen tele-
phone trunk lines to accommodate its In
coming calls, because they are so numer-
ous, with several clerks to attend to the
calls, and the new device will automatic
cally take any incoming call and give 1t
to one of the clerks who is not busy, and
do 1T without bothering operators who are
already answering calls. A selective APP
paratus takes the call, and tiles out one
wire after another until 1t inds one that
Is not busy, and then turns the call in on
that wire.
The whole operations of trying out the
various wires takes only a fraction of a
second and does not interrupt conyersa-
ton on any of the busy lines.
The principal application of the idea at
present Is tn distribute the work fairly
among the girls Of a telephone exchange.
When a persons calls up central by tax
Ing the telephone receiver off the hook,
the selectcr at the central exchange runs
over the switchboards operated by the
different girls until It finds some girl who
has no orner calls TO attend to. a refne-
ment max it possible for the selectors
to allow each girl two calls to attend to
all the time.
Thus if a girl is actually attending to
one call, and the ~selector finds that she
is but that she has had no other calls
waiting, the %selector will turn the call in
to her so that she will have one awaiting
her attention the instant that she COM
pletes the connection she is then giving.
