The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place Within short time the publicskvil1 have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tifc and technical skill, a transcontinental tele
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached in all the other nations of the world.
1t is splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends

greater than that of a breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse made up of as many as 1000
separate vibrations a second, be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over a dis

For a number of years the we'll
known A-shaped Lovejoy portable
house has been largely in use at the
Maryland Experiment Station. This
type of house, has not been found al
together satisfactory since the earth
yard attached to the house became too
quickly an unhealthy mire or wallow,
especially in muddy weather, condi-
ton far from comfortable to even/a
hog. In addition the hogs were con-
tinually breaking down the wire fenc-
ing, enclosing the yard, making condl-
tons more unsatisfactory.
To do away with these troubles the
Experiment Station recently built a
new hog house largely of cement con-
struction which will care for fifty
shoats or 6 to 10 brood sows and 10
dry sows or shoats. The building is
SO feet long, which includes feed
room and a manure pit at opposite
ends There are eight pens in all,
six of which are by 8, built to &C
commodate a brood sow or if neces'
sary two. The remaining two pens
are by 10 feet and are used as fatten-
ing pens or for dry sows.

standing, the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes The neighboriness OF
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution to the future happiness and,
prosperity of more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of few isolated, concrete difficulties.
Its success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution was found only in the cumulative eff
feet of improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department of the Ben System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became a commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With traditions to
rnent, which is now directed by staff of over
professors, post graduate Students scientific in
has created entirely new art-the art of tele-
phony, and has given to the people of this coun-
try telephone service that has equal.
It has required vast expenditures of money
and immense concentration of effort, but these
have been justified by results of immeasurable
benefit to the public. The transcontinental tele-
phone line, $500 miles long joining the Atlantic
and Pacific, is part of tho Bell System of 81 900
miles of wire connecting 100000 telephone sta
tons, located everywhere throughout the United
States. Composing this system are the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and As
ISOLATED Companies and connecting companies,
giving universal service to 100000 people.

MARYLAND grows something lik

Maryland grows something like $50,
900 acres of corn annually. An in
crease of but single bushel per acre
which is less than has been obtained
in Delaware, would add to the value
of the crop in the state to the extent
of $403, 600 per year. Maryland grow
100000 acres of wheat per year Ar
increase Of but a single bushel pei
year, and this amount is easy to OBJ
tain, would increase the resources oil
the state $4,000 per year. In Other
words, an increase of one bushel pei
acre in the yields Of two of her largest
crops, in a single year, would pract1c
ally build and equip an Agricultural
College that would compare favorably
with that OF almost any other state

A Comfortable
House for Your Hogs

increased Profit Will Prove Wisdom
OF Proper Housing.
c. L. OPPERMAN.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Maryland farmers probably make
more clear money out of hogs than
from any other kind of live stock on
their farms. Naturally we should ex-
pect them in consequence to be the
best housed and cared for stock on the
place. The opposite is too often the
case. Too many farmers have the
notion that anything is good enough
for a hog If, however, they would
invest little time and money in re-
placing the make shift shacks they
use, their profit on their hogs might
readily be doubled.

WAR KNOCKS LEGAL
 BUSINESS ON THE HEAD,
France Free for Present from Squabbles in
 Court.

PARIS, March 12.--Legal procedure in France has been disorganized by the war. Lawyers and witnesses in many civil suits are at the front; many of them have fallen in battle and no one can now anticipate the ex- tent to which cases may be confused by the disappearance of parties as we'll as witnesses and attorneys.
 Maitre Chenu, the eloquent attorney for the Calmette family in the Gail laux case, and former chief of the order of advocates oFthe Parisian bar, says that death certificates are such an essential element in all legal pro- cedure concerning inheritances, and there have been already, and will be so many more, unknown dead, that the number of probable tangled es- tates is incalculable.
 "For the moment" Maitre Chenu adds, Judicial life in France is al most entirely interrupted and will con tinue to languish until the end of hostilites. We don't regret it.. Legal ouarrels would seem to us to be an at tack upon the sacred pact of union that the war has sealed between all the citizens of France"
 The business of civil courts is al- most entirely confined to the seques- tration of the property of German and Austrian subjects and the list, already long, grows every day. showing that the number established in business in France was far underestimated. ln- stead of the 10000 approximations anticipated the number may reach nearer 5O,OOO.
 The practical suspension of court proceedings gives Maitre Chenu leisure to use his pen and in the Parisian press he is sparing no effort to defend the justice of the French cause,

GERMAN OFFICERS
 HAVE A GOOD TIME.
French Cooking Seems to Agree With
 Their PalateS.

PARIS, March 11.-Saint Quentin, where the British troops made a stand that retarded the German advance and facilitated JofTre's strategic retreat, has been for nearly five months within constant sound of the guns pounding at each other along the line from Rove to Peronne, but, according to news received by underground channels, the town has otherwise experienced little of the rigors of war.
 Never has the city hall square been so animated The coming and going of motor ears filled with officers is in cessant as this is the headquarters of some of the big guns of the Ger man army who are comfortably lodged in the elegant villas of the Champs Flysees. Every afternoon officers crowd the pastry cooks establishments of which the animation rivals the most popular five o'clock teas of Paris. Enormous quantities of tea, chocolate and cakes are reQuisitioned daily and among the habitues none have a bet ter appetite than Prince August Will liam. the Emperor's fourth son, who is always the center of the most an- imated group.
 The Emperor himself made a short visit to St. Quentin, lodging at the hotel Charles Basquin on the Champs Elysees.
 The bank Lecuyer-Lourinais, the Cardier Asylum, the Farvacques pal ace. the Henri Martin Lyceum and the Girls Lyceum are constantly filled with German wounded who are sent to hospitals further in the rear as fast as their condition permits.

BERLIN, March 9.-That the Ger man soldier has carried with him into war his well-known habits of thrift is shown by the amount of money that he is sending home to his family. A post-ofTice official of Dresden has re- gently shown in a public address that the amount of money sent home by soldiers for the Dresden address post al district in February reached $55O,- 900. Assuming that the like ratio prevails for all the rest of Germany he estimates that the soldiers sent home $24OOO,OOO in February. This sum appears all the more striking when it is recalled that the pay of the German private soldier is only about 12 cents a day. The amount sent through the pOstoffice are often less than S2.5O, and in not a few cases less than one dollar.

NEWS NOTES

The manner in which rumors are spread and falsely confirmed is il- lustrated by the story that John Bal lane had sold his interests here. Sev- eral people told the Gateway that two certain business men here in the city had seen the telegram which told of the sale by Mir. Ballaine. But neither of these gentlemen saw such a tele- garm at all and the Gateway has their own word for it.
 H. V. Hopkins who has disposed of his interests in the Terminal is go- ing to stay with Seward. He believes that no place has the ghost of show to be the terminal of the government railroad but one place, and that place is this city.
 No more candidates have declared themselves officially for the city cleo ton. Several are waiting "to see how things will look" politically and a large number will run according to all indications. In all likelihood the coming city council will have thou ands of dollars to collect and spend where former councils had hundreds.
 There is good reason to believe that the Guggenheims are now figuring on securing some of the coal lands for operation. According to the law no combination can control more than a certain amount which, if memory is not at fault, is 24O acres. The Gug- genheims would probably require the coal for their own quartz operations.

WILLY TURKS HOODwtNK
 THE BRITISH COMMANDER.
Steals Locomotives and Threatens to
 Strangle Britishers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March It. A correspondent of the Taswir-I-Esk- far sends a number of interesting episodes from the bombardment of the Turkish coast north of the city of Alexandrette. The most interesting of these is how the threatened bonn bardment of the city itself was ayerted.
 After shelling the railroad line near Pajas. a British cruiser appeared be- fore Alexaudrette, where, meanwhile, the two locomotives of a train which had been partly demolished by Brit ish shells also arrived. The com mander of the British vessel demand ed the surrender of the garrison of Alexandrette and the transfer of all arms in the city within eighteen hours under penalty of bombardment of all public buildings.
 The reply made by the Turkish commander was that for each Turk killed he would hang an Engishman. In the end it was arranged that the blowing-up of the two locomotives which had escaped the bombardmeut at Pajas would settle the matter. The correspondent speaks of the lOcomO- tives as "culpable," but he does not explain the reason why he uses this term.
 Later in the day the Turkish com mander sent word to the British cruis- CT that he could not find any dynamite for the blowing up of the locomotives. All the dynamite had been sent to Damascus, he asserted. The com mander of the British cruiser then of fered to supply enough explosives for the destruction of the two locomotives.
 While these pourparlers were in progress a Turkish locomotive en- gineer had quietly steamed to Pajas, hooked his engine to the partly demOl- ished but still mobile train and then made off in the direction of Mersina. When the English heard of this they made the two locomotives in AleXand- rette useless and then steamed back to Pajas, too late. however, to reach the train with their guns. With throttle wide open the Turkish engineer was we'll away towards the interior when the British cruiser arrived off Pajas.
 To make the humiliation of the British more complete they had mean while been joined by the Russian cruiser "Askold." When the two re- turned to Alexandrette they found that the commander of the city still insisted that for each Turk killed in the proposed bombardment an Eng lishman would be killed, not by break ing his neck at the end of the rope, but by strangulation. possibly, the
