Sitting on top of the tporld. The
United States has more telephones and
talks more, too.
Out Of the total Of 27,783,96S tele.
phones In the entire world ON that
date, the United States possessed con.
siderably more than half There were
16,935,918 telephones In this country
or 81 per cent OF the worlds total.
The number of telephones in Europe
on the same date was 7,47s,s90 or ~
per cent of the worlds total. The
remaining IL per cent was scattered
over the globe in Asia, Africa,
Oceania, South America and countries
In North America outside Of the
United States. During the year 1925,
the number Of telephones In the world
increased by 1,727.4e5 or over per
cent, remarkable growth when II is
remembered that there were only
about 100000 telephones In the whole
world at the beginning of the century.
A notable feature of American tele.
phone development is the large mum.
Der of telephones to be found in the
smaller towns and rural communities.
In communities under $4,000 popula.
tion in the United States, there were
III telephones per 100 inhabitants,
which indicates development for
smaller places in America greater
than the total telephone development
Of any country except Canada.
In Europe, rural telephone develop
ment is almost negligible.

FIRST TELEPHoToGRAPH
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

1t is a strange coincidence that the
first foreign words spoken over the
telephone were japanese and that the
first message sent by the telephoto-
graph in a foreign language was also
sent in Japanese.
When the new telephotograph ONCE
OF the American Telephone and Tele.
graph Company was opened recently
in Los Angeles, a letter from the con.
sulate OF Japan In that place was sent
to the Japanese Consulate General In
New York, conveying best wishes and
congratulations to the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company upon
the opening of the Los Angeles station.
The first foreign language spoken
over the telephone occurred in its az.
perimental days when Alexander
Graham Bell. still a professor al POS.
ton University, was spending all of
his spare time on the new invention
Two Japanese students at Harvard
who had heard OF the new invention
took advantage OF the opportunity to
try II out though they we're somewhat
skeptical as to whether Japanese could
be carried over the telephone wires
the same as English. until they made
the actual test.

nurse. There was no doubt but what
he considered Adelinda a very sick
woman. Perceval became so worried
that he decided to stay home from
the Office in order to see that his
wife had every attention. The nurse
came but Adelinda did not seem to
improve.
One morning Perceval absented
himself from the house for two or
three hours. When he came home to
lunch he hurried into the bedroom
where Adellnda lay pale and thin. He
was all animation and seemed to be
fairly bursting with news and ex-
citement. Adelinda's suspicious were
instantly aroused.
"Where have you been, Percyr she
asked almost accusingly.
But Perceval was too excited to
notice and, grasping Adelinda's hand
which lay thin and blue-veined on the
coverlid, he burst forth with:
"It's come, Linda, and I've been
out alone with It drove up as far
as Crosby's Mills, turned around and
drove back. Gee I'll say it's a
peach. time or two more and
can drive In traffic as well as the
next"
"Percy Ferrler, what are you talk
Ing abOut?" Adelinda demanded with
the first sign Of animation she had
shown in weeks.
"Why, about your new car, Linda.
What do you suppose7 I've almost
had brain storm trying out cars. !
wanted only the best. for you know
the best is none too good for you,
and ! also wanted a car that you
would enjoy driving"
"Mel Me drive a carl Why, what
do you mean7" Adelinda raised up
and was resting on her elbow.
"Yes, you'll I've been scared to
death to see you looking so white and
thin. Gee, hate skinny people, and
thought If got you car you'd get
out In the air and pick up and get
fat again. bet you've lost 20 pounds
since you've been sick. You look
like string of suckers, but as soon
as you get your hands on that car
you'll be yourself again."
"Percy Ferrier,' Adellnda demand
ed, "do l understand that you liked
me fat-think, Percy, hard. before
you answer"
II don't have to think, Linda. But
what are you getting at, anyhow
Don't you know that plump people
are always good natured and thin
ones are. You see my step-mother
was tall and thin and ugly. Well,
always thought when / got married
I'd pick out girl for looks and good
nature. Why, Linda, that was why ]
chose you out Of the whole bunch Of
girls in our set, and I'm not sorry yet
and won't be unless you get as thin
and homely as-as Rita French"
Adelinda looked steadily into her
husbands eyes for a moment, then
reached out and took his hand. It is
needless to say that a week later she
was riding out In the new car and
paying strict attention as Percy care
fully explained the mechanism of the
car, and the traffic rules.
