HE LINKED TWO CONTINENTS
Last of the Cable Pioneers Recalls
Romance Of Sea Com
munication,

One pioneer only is left linking the
early days of the transatlantic cable
with these days OF weekend cable

cradle lengthy cablegrams telling the
western hemisphere Of the stirring do
ings and the European wars confl-
sion in the eastern hemisphere.
The one remaining link is w. ].
Fraser, now district cable manager Of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany. He lives at Brookline, Mass,
with his son-in-law and daughter. Mr..
Fraser is II years old. =
When he came across the ocean in
1874 and established his headquarters
at Rye Beach. N. H., cable messages
cost SIS word, and less than twenty
words at time were never accepted
by the sending company.
Today the cheapest cable service
offered is weekend letters from our
Atlantic coast to London and Liver
pool at rate of twenty-four words
for $l.lS, with an excess charge of 5
cents word. Weekend letters may
be filed up to midnight Saturday, and
will be delivered Monday morning.
The contrast in times also is illus
trated by an anecdote Mr.. Fraser tells
of a message from Queen Victoria tc
President Buchanan in 1858 of abou
100 words, which consumed two day
in the sending. Today a normal cabl'
operator can average 100 words ;

DON'T SHOOT PHONE GIRL"
Pertinent Remarks on the Value Of
Courtesy in Speaking in
the Dark.

To speak to a telephone operator is
like speaking in the dark to stranger.
In such a situation courtesy would
seem to be the first rule of the road.
Unfortunately, courtesy is not invari-
ably the tone which people employ
with telephone operators.
During one of the national conven-
tons, something went wrong with the
wires; messages were delayed and
mixed; Offices and correspondents
were losing their tempers. In the
midst of it, James Morgan, with that
imperturable humor of his, sent back
to the Boston Globe a telegram bear
ing merely the words that were born
in the dance hall OF western mining
town:
Don't shoot the pianist. He is do
ing the best he can,
Don't bully the telephone operator,
She is doing the best she can. If she
we're not she would not be where she
is. Being a telephone operator in
these busy days is no sinecure.
The silliest place to lose ones tenn
per is into transmitter. 1t is the
most cowardly place. also. To abuse
telephone operator (who is a long
way off, a woman and an employee is
about as heroic sport as shooting
robins. The operator cannot get her
tormentor discharged. She cannot
even answer back. Discipline forbids

ELECTRICITY DEFIES WINTER
Modern Monsters Outclass Steam
Locomotive in Bucking
Mountain Cold.

A writer in Leslie's, describing the
winter work Of the electric locomo-
tives on the Milwaukec's mountain
division, tells how forty-two of these
lightning consuming monsters are
defying the cold and snow. Thar
motors are always ready to start, and
really work best in cold weather.
Frozen pipes and snow drifts have no
terrors for them.
f.. One electric takes the place OF four
steam pullers. 1t towers above you
like a black steel giant. 1t weighs
100000 pounds, and is ll3 feet long. 1t
has thirty-two wheels and, having no
flues to clean or boilers to inspect, 1t
runs a thousand miles without over
hauling. No smoke, gas or cinders
make the tunnels and snowsheds I'M
pleasant and offensive.
Crossing the Continental Divide,
these motors are now operating Tor
a distance of $50 miles from Abortion
to Harlowton, and in February will
be running 40 miles farther to Avery,
Idaho, a total of 440 miles. The Mis-
souri, at Great Falls, Mont, furnishes
much OF the power. And when the
electric is running down grade, the
power is regenerated by gravity.
The restored current actually sets
back the power company's meters and
credits the railroad with the gain.
Steam cars do nothing like this.
But in the cities our greatest inter-
est In these electric pullers is in their
promise of relieving crowded centers
of smoke, cinders and noise. New
! York has been blessed by this exemp-
ton, and it is but matter OF time
when other cities, more or less
patient sufferers now, will be relieved
BY the electric locomotive OF these
evils. There is no tendency to hurry
the railroads, overburdened as they
are by the growth of traffic and by
the freight and terminal situation
generally. But the reform is on its
way, and everybody is interested n
what the electric locomotive can dc
and is doing in the intense cold ant

WOMAN CAN'T BE A FRIEND. !"
Gotham Psychologist Puts Out a
Theory Regardless of
consequences.

Charles Gray Shaw, professor of
philosophy at New York university,
has devoted considerable time and eff
fort in research work on the problem
of "can woman be friend and, if
not, why not'' Today he made public
the results of his study.
"She cannot be a friend" Prof.
Shaw announced, for although the
word is given in both genders, the
fact alone is masculine. The reason
for this state OF unfriendliness in
woman is that TO be friend clear
cut<personality and disinterested
outlook on life are required. Woman
lacks both of them, Woman is never
a friend because she is never an in
dividual, and to be an individual one
must stand alone. Woman is planet
"a satellite-well adapted to revog-
ing around some center, but not or.
ganized so as to stand alone.
MEMS clubs, of which they are SC
proud, are combinations made for kill
ship. 1t is dollhouse for tender
plants" -New York Times.

Arthur Frost and James Brown-em-
ployes OF the British Postal Telegraph
company, came across to work tor the
Direct United States Cable company.
Mr.. Fraser and Mr.. Brown opened the
station at Rye Beach.
The death of Mr.. Osborne not long
ago at Orleans, where he was superin-
tendent of the French Cable company,
makes Mr.. Fraser today the last OF
the cable key pioneers.
As watch charm he carries the
only existing fragment of the first
transatlantic cable in 1883.
Enringed in gold circlet, it IS
cross section, eleven-sixteenths OF an
inch in diameter and one-eighth OF an
inch in thickness. The core, six cop
per wires entwined. is only one-eighth
of an inch in diameter. The encasing
is lgutta percha, which, in turn, Is
ehveloped in a casing of iron wires
The whole, appearing about the size
of a dime, he has carried for twenty
years.--Boston Globe.
