FORTY YEARS or
 THE LE PHI g

It was on st. Valentines Day 40 years ago, Feb. 14, 1878, that Alex ander Graham Bell was granted a patent in the United States on his in xention of the telephone. The young Scotchman. who had eInigrated to Canada a few years before, and after ward removed to Boston, had several rivals working in the same field, and his application for patent was filed only about two hours before that of Elisha Gray The latter took the matter of priority to the courts, and it was not until 1888 that the United States supreme court decided in Bells
 The Scotch inventor was by no means out of the woods. in the matter of realizing on his Acontraption,' when he was granted patent. He exhibttea his felephone at ths Genz fenniaI Exposition4 in Philadelphia 9 few months later but the scientiAc world dismissed 1t as an f:interesting toy9 After many rebuffs, the in xentor secured sufficient capital to in stall 9 telephone exchange in Boston in 4877. In the meantime exPerfmen= tai lines had been built in the vicinity of Boston, and in Ottawa, sanada, ffls latter line connecting the resid ence of the Governor General with the Rar- lament buildings.
 The deyeiopmentl of the telephone in the last 49 years has been one of the wonders of a marvellous age. It is estimated that there are now in use in the United States about o,000,O0A instruments, or about 65 per cent. of the worlds total. Canada has at least half a million telephones in use.
 Germany has more telephones in use than any other European country about a million and a half, Great Britain and Ireland have about S00,- 900 instruments; Russia, S4Q,ooQ; France, 33o,000; Sweden, 2S5,OOe; Japan, ,225.QG0; Australasia, 22O,009, and Austrta-Hungary, 175, 1000.
 It will thus be seen that North America, the place of it's origin, is far ahead of other continents in making use of Bells wonderful inventions. Canada has more "heIlo boxes than any European country with the ex- ception of Germany and Great Brit ain, although far surpassed by them in population. With nearly five times the population, Italy has less than one-f1fth as many telephones as Can da. There are more telephones in New York city alone than in many European nations which rank as pow ers-more, in fact, than in any other nation of the world save Germany and Great Britain.
 Of the great cities of the world, Chicago leads in the number of tele- phones proportionat to population. Fhe Windy City has over 4e9,9O0 in- struments, or 16.2 per hundred pop uIation. Detroit comes second, with 12.9; Cleveland third, with 12,8; Bos3 ton fourth, with 12.6; and St Louis fifth, with 11.6. Philadelphia has lo.8 telephones per hundred. people, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati each 10.6

and New ork 9.7.

Goippenhagen pen leads the great cities of Euroge in its devotion to telephoIl- ing. The Danish capital has S.s tele- pared with s.6 in Berlin. 3.5 ip Len don, s.2 in Paris. 3.2 in Vienna, -2.7 in Petrograd, 2.2 in Rome and 9:7 ln Madrid.
 The telephone is making rapid PFo- gness in South America. and there are now about 175,00o instruments in use in that part of the world Rusn9s Avres has nearly a third. Of the total. with about 55,0 000 instruments in use. This is only little more than 2 fourth as many as in Philadelphia, a city of about the same size.

Claude Berry's Career Has
 Been One of Ups and Downs

c. E. Berry. of Berry Bros, dealers in grain and coal at Lynn, Rando1ph county, Indiana, doesn't seem t9 be 2 xeryAe4alted parsonage, nor worthy 9f conspicuous mention on the sport page. As a matter of fact, G1aude E. Berry has probably played in as many baseball leagues, big and little, N9Fth
 South. East and west, as any afa.H4lonea artist in the business, and grain and coal has been with him merely g sIde line. Last season hes was the regular backstop of the Rebels, the aIm0st- cham pions of the Federal League. and a faYorife of the Smoky City fans:
 Berry was born thirty years ago to day, Feb. IA, 1886, in the little 4ndiana town of Losantville south of Muncie. From his boyhood he was an ardent devotee of the diamond, and was teketcher's for amateHr and semi-PEQ clubs in Nduncie, Anderson. Shelby vile, 4ypn, and other Indiana towns. The young Hoosier was only sixteen when he made his professional debut in the Fexas League, playing two sea sons with the Dallas club. At eigh- teen he received a call from the White Sox, but after giving the Youn gstsr, the once-over Pilot Callahan decided that he wasn't ripe far the main show, and tnrned him oveT to Indiana iiaIa apoiis. Berry found even the American As sociatiop a. bit too fast for him. and in 1905 he landed with Cedar Rapids In the Iowa city, Wliere several big league stars got their staFt toward fame. Berry developed rapidly, and after a couple of seasons he attracted the attention of Connie Mack. Berry was retained on the Athletic payroll for the 1907 season, ana then was shipRed off to theN Pacific Coast League. Claude was ranked as one of the best backstops of the circuit during the five years he was with San Franciseo. and one season caught PA games. He went to Portland, Ore, in 1913, and it was from that club that club that he was lured to the Feds
 Tn his third appearance in the big show Berry became the regular catch CT ef the Pittsfeds. He batted .197 last season, but many of his hits came at opP0rtune times. There was never anything spectacular about Berrys work behind the bat, but a more re- liable catcher the Feds didn't have. The Hopsier was especially valuable in calming excited twirlers. In mo rnents of stress the little catcher was as imperturbable as if he had been discussing the price of corn with farmer back in Indiana. -N

liam Gillette and Mlanche Bates in the
 stage version of the play at the Elm pire Theatre, New York, las; year. At ! that time she was declared by the New York critics to be tEe real star | of the production, as her work in the role of Dora-the same one which she plays in the motion picture-was the most finished and most delightful of i all One of them expressed it as fol 1 lows: Tt is Marie Doro who is not only an actress of rare charm, equal alike to light comedy and tense situa- tions, but she is unusually beautiful.
 In the scene in which her husband makes it known that she is suspected of being spy, of having betrayed Count Orloff and of having stolen the
 pre- precious documents, she is the central figure and carries the entire burden of the action and character portrayal.
 Then one sees an unusual portrayal of the emotions as she is first filled with fear, then anger, then hate. The husband begs her to confess, telling her he will protect her and all the that he would believe for moment that she would be so base. Miss Doro makes the character so real in this scene that one experience all the emo tiOnal changes himself-all the bitter ness and hatred. An when she has run the gamut of emotions 1t Is, of course, the little woman with the breaking heart, feeling that she has lost everything. who survives
 If these opinions applied to the stage presentation. they paint with still more striking effect the picture of the silent presentation of the play, for in it Miss Doro achieves a new emotional triumph.
 It is particularly notable that "Di- ploplomacy' is the first picture in which Miss Doro has appeared since the announcement of her marriage to Elliott Dexter. who appears in the film in the same role in which he was seen on the stage-Julian Beauclerc, the young attache at the British Le- gation in Paris. To Julian, who has just married Dora, a beauty whom he met at Monte Carlo. but of whose past history he knows nothing except what she has chosen to tell him, are en- trusted the plans of Gibraltar.
 The documents are stolen and sus- picion points to Dora so strongly that even her husband believes that she is guilty. It is later proven that spy stole them.
 In support of Miss Doro there ap- pear such distinguished players as Elliott Dexter, Edith Campbell Walk CT. Russell Bassett, Frank Losee and George MajerOni.

Winsome Actress in Sardou' S Famous Play Wins Plaud-

Marie Doro, whose motion picture debut in the Famous Players produc- tion The Morals of Marcus" and sub sequent appearance in the same com pany's The White Pearl" stamped her as one of the most winsome and altogether charming actresses on the Famous Players-Charles Frohman adaptation of thecelebrated Sardou drama Diplomacy" which appeared at the Royal laost night and which will be repeated today
