"ln a similar manner, 1t is con
ceivable that cables Of telephone wires
could be laid underground, or sus.
pended overhead, communicating by
branch wires with private dwellings,
country houses, shops, manufactures.
etc, etc, uniting them through the
main cable with a central Office where
the wires could be connected as de.
sired, establishing direct communica-
ton between any two places in the

practicable at the present moment,
will, firmly believe be the outcome
Of the introduction of the telephone

believe, in the future, wires will unite
the head Offices Of telephone companies
In different cities and man in one
part Of the country may communicate
by word of mouth with another in a
ulSIdHI place.
Nothing has done more to bring
about present-day telephone develop
ment than the use of cable. Using
this type Of plant telephone companies
are able to serve large numbers of
telephones by wires enclosed in q
small space, the cables being strung
either on poles overhead or in con-
duit systems under the ground. Such
cables not only serve cities and towns.
but connect far distant communities,
north, south, east and west, all over
the country. Telephone cable has
been used since 1879. The first cable
was installed by a telephone company
in San Frapcisco. The first cable
used was homemade and consisted
of insulated wires drawn into a lead
pipe. But In 1888 a cable was manu-.
featured which contained Ice wires
covered by a continuous lead sheath.
ing very similar to the cable Of today,
except that modern day cables contain
thousands of wires. The largest
cables manufactured and used by the
Bell Telephone System companies now
contain 1886 wires, each wire being
separate and distinct from the other
and all enclosed in a continuous lead
sheathing which protects the wires
from the elements aud assures con.
tlnuous and practically uninterrupted
, telephone service.

Straw Through Board

The energy with which body
strikes on object determines the pierre
ing effect and damaging effect of the
body. Energy is measured by the prod
uct OF the mass of the body and the
square of the velocity. Thus very
small body moving with high velocity
can possess just as much kinetic en-.
ergy as a large body moving slowly
The straw driven by cyclone is hurled
through the air at an enormous veloc
lty and expends Its energy in going
through the wood. This happens SO
quickly that the inertia of the straw
keeps II from crumpling up before
piercing.
