Isl MsA the dawn Of of commercial
IM# MN and social development. The means by
la@a@zzeg which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications Of personality,
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is now an accom-
plished fact
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tfc and technical skill, transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached in all the other nations Of the world,
It is splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends
greater than that of breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 1000
separate vibrations second can be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over dis
lance of 3,400 miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent. The human
voice has been made to travel as fast light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift
ness Of its fight.
The imagination can but feebly grasp, much
less attempt to measure, the far-reaching signih-
canoe of such tremendous accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily use system of communication that knows
no East, no West, North no South. Dialects,
provincialisms, sectional prejudices, must event
