In May, 1880, lead-covered cable was
used to connect two exchanges in
Philadelphia. 1t was composed of for
ty-two twisted pairs of No. Is cotton
covered wires, which were wrapped
together and drawn into lead pipe
one inch in diameter. Then a mix
ture of melted paraffin and rosin was
poured into the pipe, the whole form
ing a solid mass on cooling. This cable
was about 600 feet in length and was
suspended from three heavy iron
wires by loops made of No. Ia iron
wire. The first aerial cable in Chicago
was put up in September, 1882, and
was a fifty-pair cable, 1850 feet long.
Recent developments of devices for
transmitting voice currents over cir
cults in lead-covered cables have made
possible the extension of cable lines
between important centers to an eX-
tent not dreamed of a few years ago
Boston and Washington, D. c., are
connected by underground cable cir
cults and an aerial cable line has
been constructed between Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg which will ulti'
mately form a part of an all-cable
line from New York to Chicago.

Garden Hose Used In
Early Aerial Gable
Lines of Lead-Covered Tele.
phone Wires Now Connect
Many Cities of Country

1t is probable that the first use of
the aerial telephone cable was in San
Francisco in 1879. In those days it
was the custom to bring the circuits
to cupola on the roof of the exchange
building, but in this case several
lengths of special cable were used.
This cable was composed of forty No.
20 soft drawn copper wires, double
braided with cotton, then double wrap
ped in reverse order with rubber pa
per, the whole being wound with cot
ton or jute covering. 1t was suspend
ed by long canvas sings about two
feet apart attached to two heavy iron
wires.
AS far back as April, 1S43, S. F..
Morse, inventor of the telegraph, had
detailed to the Secretary of the Treas
ury the specifications under which for
ty miles of four-conductor, lead
covered cable would be made. Each
wire was to be "once covered with cot

of shellac varnish; then wound with
different colored twine to designate
in case of necessity, any particular
wire in any part Of the course. The
four lengths are then laid side by side
and bound together in a single cord
by another winding of cotton twine
The conductors thus prepared are
ready to be introduced in to the pipe
In some instances local telephone
pioneers made temporary cables out
of such material as they had at hand,
to serve until future demands could
be reasonably determined. One man
took piece of old garden hose, "pul-
led fifty pairs of annunciator wires
through it, put it in commission as
an office cable, and it served efficient
ly for several years."
Aerial cables were in use in New
York City late in 1879, and before the
close of 1889 a total of over $4,000
feet of cable was in use in the city
and on the Brooklyn Bridge, princip-
ally of the ten-conductor capacity.

DAHLIA GROWING BY
COMMON SENSE RULES

Dahlia tubers should be planted
singly, not in clumps. Tubers put out
shoots on which the bloom forms.
Each tuber should be separated from
the clump very carefully, sharp
knife being used for this purpose.
Each tuber must contain part of the
neck or crown of the parent stalk if
bloom is expected. When cut from
the stalk each tuber is planted fiat on
its side, with the eye or small shoot
up. Plant at least six inches deep in
well fertilized we'll worked soil. Do
not use a fertilizer to heavy in pot
ash-a general garden fertilizer (com-
merciaD is good and bone meal or
sheep manure will give fine results.
Cultivation can be moderate and
more for the purpose of moisture con-
servation than tillage--it is assumed
that the ground in which dahlias, like
everything else that grows, is well
supplied with humus and that tillage
has put it into fine condition, friable.
Plant dahlias about May 20, to
June 1; when planted earlier they will
suffer from the early summer dry sea-
son. If facilities for watering are
available keep the ground nncist, not
to owet, and conserve moisture by
cultivation.

Even the dyed-in-the-wool radio fan

But, says Dellinger, "a greater

For one thing, atmospheric con-

more satisfactory results both in

Readings Steel Rail Order.

Another round tonnage of new steel
rails for delivery over the first half Of
new year at the old price of $40 a
ton has been placed, according to advices
from Philadelphia, which announced
yesterday that the Reading had made a
commitment for $4,000 tons, the con-
tract having been let to the Bethlehem,
Cambria and Carnegie Steel companies.
Although the price advance Of the Steel
Corporation and Independents was made
Elective last Sunday additional tonnages
which were negotiated last week are

Naf ftionaI Bi.cuit,. Advance.

One OF the mysteries of this weeks
markef has been the amazing strength
of National Biscuit Company shares.
Yester day they gained more than 12
points, reaching new high mark of
2O3. Last Friday. the day the first big
advance was made. the stock sold as low
a l6l, making the total advance in less
than a week more than 40 points. The
persistent strength has mystified the
financial community, for there have
been nP definite news developments which,
would account for it. The demonstra-
ton has given rise to several stories of
reorganization. stock dividends. extra
dividends, &c, but none Of them can be
official iy confirmed. One official of
the company when questioned as to the
reason for the abrupt rise replied "I
know nothing about the stock market
and In not interested in it. I'm here
to make crackers" The directors are
echeduled to meet Tuesday and one story
Is that some action of a character very
favorable to stockholders will be taken
at that time.

Re.crvc Ratios Decline.

Sharp declines In the ratios Of both
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
and of tho system we're revealed In yes
terday's weekly statements. The former
dropped from SAT- per cent to S0.2 per
cent, while that OF the entire system
declined / per cent. to TIA per cent.
Heavy increases in deposits and In cir
culation were largely responsible for the
change of the systems reserve ratio.
Total gold reserves for all reserve banks
this week were Mt the new high record
OF s5,0se, 400, 900, an increase since jan
uary 1 Of $214.300,0oo. Member banks
rediscounts increased by s4.000.O00 and
their deposits by s45.000.0o0. At the
same time circulation advanced more
than ss1, 100000 indicating the extent
to which expanding business is absorb
ing fresh funds. The New York bank
lost more than s26,000.000 Of It's gold
reserves. largely through the opera

Damage Claims Reduced.

That the efforts of freight traffic
managers to reduce the amount of
damage claims by shippers has borne
fruit Is indicated In reports by 22S car
riers to the American Railway Associa-
ton covering the first half of the cur
rent year. The reports showed total
of $27,Sso,061 paid out by the railroads
in that period. compared with 55,509.-
OLA during the corresponding period of
the previous year. The payments during
1922 show a saving of 50.7 per cent. in
favor of the carriers. While general
satisfaction was evident at the reduc-
tion in the total of claims paid by the
lines there Is confidence that with con-
tinued efforts the latest total can be
materially reduced.

Car Shortage Growing.

Reports by the American Railway AS

there was a technical shortage of 107,666
cars. an increase of 21.760 over the total

ports covering car surplus showed 1922,
reduction OF 11.677 oars within thc
week. Chief among the demands from
shippers were coal and box cars In
commenting on the figures railroad off,
cials point out that there is undoubtedly
duplication IN tho orders placed by ship
pers for when the car situation tightens
there is always tendency on the part
OF the different Industries to cover their
position by placing orders for rolling
stock with two, and sometimes with
three, different carriers.

Toteco OIL Output Decline.

Heavy selling OF Mexican Seaboard
followed publication OF reports that the
company's production in Toteco on
October was only 1900 barrels. the
lowest daily showing made since the
beginning of the decline OF output in
that pool. Total production In Toteco
on October was 1900 barrels, of
which Mexican Petroleum accounted for
5000 barrels and Gulf Oil $1,000. This
also establishes for those companies 4,
new low record for Toteco output.
Daily production in Toteco last -rebru-
airy was about 10000 barrels. The drop
of 10000 barrels In the daily output
represents about one-fifth OF the worlds
oil production.
