The MarUel's Reasons

The center position on this team
was the only easy position to
choose as Hardy of G. U. stood out
head and shoulders over all other
competition. He has just been
elected captain of the 1887 George
town team.
Hardy especially shone on the
defense where he backed up the
line in brilliant style, intercepted
passes, knocked them down, and
when it came to blocking puntS he
yielded to no one as he has no
competition in this particular de-
partment. His passes were fast,
accurate and timed to the second.
He did not make one poor pass
during 1886.
Hardy has been thought to loaf
when the opposition or the going
was easy, but he was a player

PILOT WIRES

Voice. currents require less energy
on circuits in long distance cables on
cold days than on hot ones. For ex-
ample: On a 200-mile long distance
telephone circuit in cable nine times
as much current is required on a hot
day as on a cold one. To overcome
this difficulty temperature recorder
and current regulator has been de-
veloped by the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories, which, by means of a thin pilot
wire inside the cable, adjusts the cur
rent to auit the temperature.
There are now in service about 49,
100000 miles of long distance tele-
phone wire in the United States, thirty
per cent of which is in cable. Tenn
perature recorders and current regula-
tors are operated at intervals of 100
to 200 miles on certain long distance
cables, so that changes from cold to
hot or vice versa respond to the
changes in the pilot wire, which auto
matically adjusts the volume of the
current. No human being could be as
accurate as this device, which is par
ticularly valuable in the summer
months.
On hot day a sudden rain storm
may blow up, cooling the cable, which
will reduce the amount of current
necessary. The pilot wire automatic
ally reduces the amount of current
necessary in the operation of these cir
cults. The pilot wire transmits the
message and the regulator makes the
change Immediately.
Telephone calls are completed and
people talk just as satisfactorily
whether it's hot or cold. AS far as
they are concerned nothing out of the
ordinary has happened.
