TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line of human endeavor has the inventive
brain Of the scientist contributed to the
worlds progress than by the creation of the art
of telephony. of which the Bell system is the en-
bodiment.

which is directed by staff of $50 en-

post graduate students scientific Investigators
the graduates of over 20 universities
From its foundation the company has continu-
ousy developed the art. New improvements in
telephones, switchboards, lines, cables. have fol-
lowed one another with remarkable rapidty.
While each successive type of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each
step in the evolution marked decided improve
ment. These changes. this evolution, has not only
been continuous, but is continuing. Substantially
all of the plant now in use, including telephones,
switchboards. cables and wires has been
structed, renewed or reconstructed in the past &c
years.
Particularly in switchboards have the changes
been radical that installations costing in the

The solution was only found in the cumulative

While the limit of commercial overhead talking

Hard Lines.

Girard, in Philadelphia Ledger.
 The misery in some households is pitiable Word comes to me by first rate authority that in one Main Line place where 45 servants were employ ed 23 have been dismissed.
 No, I'm not thinking especially about the lot of those 23-baleful num- Der though it be-who have lost their employment, but of the hardships en- dured by the family which has but 22 remaining helpers.
 You have all read the plight of that celebrated lady: Miss Flora McFlimsy of Madison
 Square
 Who had nothing in all this wide world
 to wear. Although her father had just i'm ported for her shipload of Parisian gowns.
 So the destitute family in that Main Line abode with it's remaining 22 servants calls for pity. But don't send your subscriptions for relief to me, because l shall not guarantee to for ward them. Who knows but 1 might send the money to the 23 who were dismissed?
