Carly, WIZARD OF
WIRES, SPANS i. S.
At 7. \. VAIL S NOD
FAMOUS ENGINEER, WHOM RUL-
Frs HAVE HoNORED, DIRECTS
TITANIC TELEPHONE TASK.
EFFORTS OF THESE MEN
UNITE EAST AND WEST
Commerce and Society Benefited by
New Line That Extends From
Coast to Coast.

The building of the Transcontinen-
tai Telephone Line, which was recent
ly completed, depended on the solution
of no one isolated problem, nor will
the glory Of it be given to any one
isolated individual, but there are few
names that will always stand out
above the rest in connection with it.
There must be great generals for
armies that win such victories.
For many years this line from ocean
to ocean has been the dream of Theo-
dOre N. Vail, president of the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Company,
the goal toward which he has pushed
and toward which he has steadily led
his associates and the army of his en-
ployees. Not the dream of a dreamer,
but the prophetic vision Of a practical,
forceful, capable man, a man of unlim-
tied business energy and knowledge,
who could see anything in telephony
except impossibilities. He not only
cannot see them, but will not admit
that they exist; he does not find the
word impossible" in his dictionary
of engineering terms. Almost from
the beginning of the telephone, his en-
ergy and enthusiasm, his dauntless OPP
timism and ambition in everything re-
lating to it's perfection and promotion,
and his idea of universal SERVICE"
have dominated the company and
made enthusiasts of every one con-
nected with it in great things or in
little.
Rulers Honor Carly.
At his side through most of these
years has been a slightly built, 1.-THE,
keen-eyed man, who never has to be
told but once when a great thing is to
be done. A nod, and line goes to
Denver; word, and it stretches to
the Pacific coast. That is John J..
Carly, Chief Engineer of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company. A
leader among the scientific men of all
nations and honored by their rulers
for his distinguished services in en-
cheering accomplishment, his wide
knowledge, his keen judgment and his
indOmitable energy have combined to
make him one of the great factors in
telephone achievement and advance
ment. He Is wizard of the wires.
Long ago he said this great thing
could and should be done, and through
the great banks Of silence that sepa-
rated the East from the West, this
- IL -
ting his way, year by year, until the
great canal of human speech is done
Others have played big parts in this
drama of human endeayor and achieve
ment, and thousands have given their
share Of thought and labor, but, who
ever is forgotten or remembered, the
names of Vail and Carly will be linked
with this new triumph Of science as
long as man talks to man.

An interesting feature of the cele-
bration of the Transcontinental Tele.
phone Line was a conversation be.
tween two telephone pioneers, Thomas
d. Lockwood in Boston and Thomas B.
Doolittle in San Francisco.
In the course of the conversation
Mr.. Doolittle asked Mr.. Lockwood il
the latter was not going to extend an
invitation to dinner; to which Mr..
Lockwood made the following very
interesting reply:
Certainly I am happy to invite you
to dinner; but don't forget that times
and conditions are changed. When in
1879 we opened the Lowell line, if you
were in Lowell, you would have heard
my invitation while l was giving it.
and could have joined me inside of
an hour, but now, and where you are,
while you will hear with your own
ears my invitation three hours before
I give it you can not reach the table
until four or five days later"

Tremendous figures,

No one can run his finger over the
route of the new line on the map with
out being impressed with the magni-
figures are tremendous. The line
crosses thirteen states, it is carried on
10000 poles. Four hard-drawn cop
per wires, .165 inch in diameter, run
side by side over the entire distance,
establishing two physical and one
phantom circuit One mile of a single
wire weighs 435 pounds, the weight of
the wires in the entire line being
$4,000 pounds, or 1880 tons. This,
of course, is the transmission wires
alone. In addition to these, each phys
ical circuit uses some 1860 miles of
fine hair-like insulated wire, 1000
of an inch in diameter, for it's loading
coils.
Simply to string this immense
amount Of wire across the continent,
to set the poles and insure insulation,
to conquer the innumerable difficulties
offered by land and water, forests,
mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes,
was in itself an undertaking of no
mean magnitude. The Panama Canal
Is hailed as one Of the greatest
achievements of the worlds workers.
as it is, but the almost invisible lines
of the Bell System, considered simply
as to labor and cost, constitute mon
umental task.
xa.-Essa
Nation Reaps Benefits.
There has been no greater achieve
ment in the history of the Bell Com
pany, none in the history of telephony,
few in the history of the world. The
gain to science is great. Immeasura-
bly, more precious, however, is that to
the nation, and intellectually greater
are the benefits to commerce and So
ciety. Two persons, one on the At
lantic coast and the other on the Pa.
cific coast, can get into voice to voice
communication at will. The distance
OF 3,400 miles or more no longer
makes the slightest difference. What
the Transcontinental Line means to
the future of the country, what it will
bring about by drawing the East
and West closer together, how
much of increased prosperity and
happiness these thousands Of miles of
wire will insure, no man can gauge. ].

Frederic had the feeling that he
skunk to the telephone. The girl
handed the receiver to him and he
met her confident, untroubled gaze for
second. Instead Of returning to the
sitting-room where she could have
heard everything that he said, she
went into her own room down the hall
and closed the door, He was not con-
scious of any intention to temporize,
but it was significant that he did not
speak until the door closed behind
her Afterwards he realized and was
ashamed.
Almost the first words that Yvonne
uttered were Of a nature to puzzle
and irritate him, although they bore
directly upon his own previously
formed resolution. Her voice, husky
and low, seemed strangely plaintiVe
and lifeless to him.
Have you and Lydia made any
plans for the afternoon?" she inquired.
He made haste to declare their inten-
ton to attend a concert. 81 am glad
you are going to do that" she went on.
"You will stay for luncheon with
Lydia?"
