FORTY YEARS OF TELEPHONE

Forty years ago this summer the telephone was first
put to, practical business use. A Brooklyn manufacturer
had his house and his Office, five miles apart, connected
by telephone. and the marvel Of transmitting speech by
wire speedily became commonplace.
The telephone had first been exhibited publicly the
year before. Bell had it on display at the Centennial
exposition in Philadelphia, where it attracted some slight
Dom Pedro, of Brazil, who was afterward deposed and
Of the world to the invention. He saw it, became inter-
ested. and speedily he was impressed with its possibilities
as q practical aid to the transmission of intelligence.
Scientific and business men investigated and became en-
thustastic, and the results we see around us, Today
the hamlet must be small and isolated that has no tele-
phone connection with the rest of the world. In the
cities people do their shopping and a goodly share of
their visiting by telephone. The work Of hundreds of
thousands Of men in battle are co-ordinated by the tele-
phone land because OF it great guns along miles Of front
are able to begin and end their devastating fire on the
instant. The farmer, miles away from the village, uses
the telephone to order repairs for his machinery or to
inquire the current price Of wheat or the weather fore
cast for the day. While wires are still used for telephon-
Ing IN the ordinary use Of the instrument speech can
be transmitted by phone without wires. In one quite re-
cent test the voice of a man speaking in Washington was
heard in Hawaii, and in the same test a professor in the
in the voice OF the Washington speaker that Of a former
student Of his.
Light waves can be reproduced at a distance in a
manner somewhat similar to that Of the reproduction
OF sound waves. Progress in this line has been less
rapid than In the development of the telephone, but the
principle is established, and It only remains to devise
apparatus in convenient form for one to see the speaker
at a distance Of hundreds Of miles, as well as to hear
his voice. d =

K-ERENsKY's PHILOSOPHY,
fRAyiaw Of ReyieWs.l

It was Kerensky's frankness and
passionate sincerity that made Russia
trust him ever since he hoped on q
table in the duma committee rooms
during q crisis in the revolution, and
quieted extreme workmen and con
sentative bourgeoise shopkeepers by
shouting: "You shall have your re.
public-after3 the war! Meantime
have the common sense to fight to re-
tain the freedom you have wont"
II told them that an ~autocracy Of
workmen, or al ~autocracy Of soldiers,
Is as bad as an autocracy Of aristo-
Gratis said Mr.. Kerensky to me
afterwards. MRnssia must have no
autocracies. Each man must be a
free citizen Of New Russia, with az
much respect for his neighbours rights
and per6gatives as his own"
That is Kerensky's philosophy, in q
word. He bases his entire hope of
ultimate success on the single policy
of compromise.

It is estimated that it will cost the

government will know exactly where
1t stands as far ~asrservice claims are
concerned and will not be subject to
fraud and imposition, as has been the
case In many instances.
The attitude Of the Grand Army as
to n government and the great war,
is not uncertain or in doubt. Almost
every Comrade is a hacker Of the
government in the vigorous prosecu-
ton Of the war. There will be no
Kaiserttes Or paciists in the E1camp-
ment. and$I predict that the resolu-
tons which will be passed with q
whoop, will be poignant with scath-
ing denunciatien of the attitude TAX
On by the La Follette's and .Gronna's
Of the country. If, in any way, the
Encampnent should fall short of
conveying to the country its detesta-
ton OF the doctrine and actions Of
these unpatriotic Americans, 1t will
be because Of the inefflciency Of adj
jectives and the inadequacy of lang
uage to properly and forcibly express
their contempt for them.
There is some talk here that this
will be the last National sEncamp-
ment. but don't you believe 1t. There
will be Encampments and parades
and campfires for a good many years
yet. and ten years from now the
bronze button will be worn by many
survivors OF the Civil war who will
be just as anxious to follow a brass
band as they are today.
