TELEPHONE

s
 The first message to be carried by length of wire, with the human voice as a medium, marking the first crude working of the telephone, was on March 10, 1876, tnirty-nine years ago today From his room in the upper story Of a boarding house at No. 5 Exeter Place. Boston, Alexander Graham Bell teIephoned to his assis- .tant, Thomas A. Watson,s on a floor below: MT. Watson, came here, I want you.'' That first telephone was adapated only to sending from one end of the line, so Watson's reply was to rush up the stairs, shouting tri- umphantly, sI heard you, It was a, moment Of joy for the inventor and his co-worker, but they still have many obstacles to overcome In the following October Bell and Watson carried on conversation over a two- mile wire between Boston and Cam bridge. At the Philadelphia exposi- ton that year Bell exhibited a crude model Of his telephone, but 1t at tracted little interest. The first te1e- phone line to pay revenue to Bell was installed the following year be- tween ERideau Hall, the official resi- dence of the Governors General of Canada. then the Earl of Dufferin, and the office of Alexander Mac kenzie, then premier of Canada It worked very imperfectly, and on sew eral occasions Premier Mackenzie threatened to tear the internal ma chine out, by the roots,

the fire after he had taken lAss ves- sel safely to her dock. "The fire was discovered at 3 a. m., Saturday, March 6. when we were in North Latitude 48.14 and West Longitude 21.O6,'' he said. It was at the base of one of the venti1ators in the boiler room. The heavy smoke found it's way to the bridge While the men in the boiler room sought to extinguiSh the blaze, which was not serious in itself, turn ed my attention to the other parts of the ship.
 .sAt this moment one of the night watch reported hearing the cracking of flames forward. I ordered all the crew to their stations and as the ship was in a mist gave directions to stop the vessel in order that might leave the bridge for the scene of the blaze. We discovered flames eating their way toward the postoffice and begin ming to attack neighboring cabins We discovered that the flames were spreading to the partitions and floor of compartment No. 2 so as to involve a large amount of freight.
 Relieving that so large part Of the cargo might take fire and finding we were not able to deal with it easily decided to send out a call for aid Meanwhile. throu ugh holes made in the partitions we obtained a view of the fire which was then attacked with jets of water and steam, Sun day morning. the 7th, we had master ed the blaze and the danger was past.''
 Capt. Caussin paid tribute to the coolness of his officers and crew. Ow- ing to the early arrival of I.a. Tour aine at Havre nearly all the passen- gers were able to proceed to Paris on the train leaving at 5 D. r
 The ship shows no external sign Of the fire. It was admitted that military supplies were included in the cargo which was threatened.

IGAEKWAR or BARoDA

One of the surprises of the war has been the eager and enthusiastic SUD- port given to Great Britain by the people and princes of India, where Germany confidently expected that the declaration of hostfIities would be the signal for a revolt in which the horrors of the Indian nutiny would be repeated. Of the many potentates of India who have offered the swords, subjects and fortunes to the British cause perhaps the richest and most powerful is the Gaekwar of Baroda Soon after war was declared the Gaek- war, who was then in Europe, offered to fight at the head of a native con hugents and declared that if neces- sary he would place his whole for tune at the disposal of the British government That would be no small matter, for the GaeIzwar, who will be hfty-tWo years old today, is one Of the richest men in the world. His income is said to be well over five million dollars a year and his ac- the fortunes of very few American plutocrats While Germany boasts Of the biggest guns in the world the Gaekwar owns the most valuable for he has two large cannon made Of solid gold, except for the steel linings of the precious metal The cannon are mounted on carriages Of silver Each gun is provided with a cannon ball made Of solid gold The Gaak- wars gold cannon are the only ones in the world, and they are more or- namentaI than useful as warfare is now conducted. The Gaekwarss son, ShrfmaI Ja1singrao, was educated at Harvard His daughter became the bride Of the Maharajah of Cooch- Behar. thus uniting two of the most powerful of Indian families For
