In no lino of humnn endeavor has tlie Inventive brain of the scientist contributed more to tho world's progress tnan by the creation of the art of tolophony, of which tho Well Byatom is tho em bodiment. When thr tr In"' one was born, nothing analog ous to telop' on p 'rvlce as wo now know It exist ed. Their- vs no tradition to guide, no exper ience to follow. Tho ByHtem, the ipparatus, the methods an on tlro now art had to bo created. The art of elec trical engineering did not exist. Tho Doll pioneers, recognizing thnt bi.cccsb depended upon tho high est engineering and technical skill at onco organ ized an experimental and research department which Ib now directed by n staff of over 5G0 en glncers nnJ sclentlBts, Including formor professors, post-grnduate Btudents, Bclentlflc Investigators the graduates of over seventy universities. From Its foundation tho compo has contin uously developed tho art. Now Improvements In telephones, switchboards, lines, cnblcB, havo fol lowed ono another with remarkable rapidity. Whllo each successive typo of apparatus to tho superficial obsorvor suggested similarity each step In tho ovolutlon marked a decided lmprovont. Theso changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous, but Ib continuing. Substantially all of tho plant now In uso, Including telephones, Bwltchboards, cables and wires, has boon con structed, renewed or reconstructed in tho past ton years. Particularly In switchboards havo tho changes been so radical that Installations costing in tho nggregato millions havo. frequently besn discarded after only n few years of uso. Siuce 1877 thero havo been Introduced fifty three types and styleu of receivers and sovonty threo types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 tolephono receivers nnd transmitters owned by tho Boll Company January 1, 1914, nono were In use prior to 1902, whllo the average ago Ih less than flvo years. Within ten year wo havo expended for con struction and reconstruction an amount mora than cuuul to tho present book vnluo of our entire plant, Long dlstnnco nnd underground transmission was tho most fonnldablo scientific problem confronting tho telephones experts. , Tho rcturdlng effect of tho earth on tho tele phono current often impaired conversation through one mile underground as much as through ono hundred miles overhead. Overhead conversation had Its Idstlnct limitations. No posfllblo Improvement In tho telophono trans mitter could of Itself solvo these difficulties. The uolutlon was only found In tho cumulatlvo effect of improvements, great nnd small, In telo phono, transmitter, lino, cnblo, switchboard, and every other pleco of npparntus or plant required In the tranflinlsslon of speech. Whllo tho limit of commercial ovorhcad talking had Increased from strictly locnl to ovor 1000 miles as oarly ns 1893, It was not until 190R that conversation could bo had over long-dlstnnco cir cuits of which bb much as twenty miles was In un derground cables. Dy 1900 underground talking dlstnnce had Increased to ninety miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk underground from Now York to Washington. It was then thnt the construction of under ground conduits from BoBton to Washington was determined upon, not that It was expected to get a through underground talk between those places, but In caso of storm or blizzard, to utilize Inter mediate sections In connection with tho overhead. Our porslstont study and Incessant experimenta tion havo produced results moro rcmnrlcablo still. Wo havo perfected cables, apparatus and meth ods that havo overcome obstacles heretofore re garded ns Insuperable both to long distance over head and underground conversation. Underground conversation Is now possible bo twoen Boston and Washington, four times tho length of tho longest European underground lino. Tills enabled the Boll SyBtom In tho recent great storm, so destructive on land nnd sen, to maintain com munication for tho public botween all the prin cipal points on tho Atlantic seaboard. Telephone communication Is established botweon Now York and Denver, Is potentially possible be tween nil points In tho United States, and by 191l will bo an accomplished fact botween Now York and San Francisco, In our use- qt methods or apparatus, wo arc committed to no one system. We own, control or havo tho right to use inventions necessary to oporate any systom recognized or accepted ns the roost efficient. Tho Boll System must always rec ognize, and In its selection must always bo gov erned by tho necosBltlcs of a national service, with Its complex requirements, which U Infinitely more exacting than local or limited service. Theso achlevomonts represent vast expenditures o'f money and Immenso concentration of effort which havo been Justified by results ot C'nmcas urablo benefit to tho public. No local coni'.3v unaided could bear tho the financial or seontlfo burdon of this work, Such rMUlta nre possible, only through a contrnllnpd genoral staff, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort, working out prou loniB common to all, for tho benefit of all. Tho plonoors of tho Boll System rocognlzed that tolephono sorvtco, as they saw It, was In tho broadest sonso a public utility; that upon them rested a public obligation to glvo the best posslblo srvlce at tho most reasonable rutes consistent with risk, Investment nnd tho contlnuod improve ment and matntennnco of Its proporty. Without this expenditure of millions und con centration of effort, tho telephone art as It exists could not huvo been developed.

Tho courser soils, how ever, which contain some sand or gravel, will often mnko very satis factory roads for light traffic, pro vided they are kept In propor ropnlr. If tho road Is composed ot fine clay or soil, It-will sometimes pay to resurfaco It with top soil from an adjacent field which has Band or grav el mixed with It. This method, called tho top-Boll method, Is now In suc cessful use In Virginia, North Caro lina nnd Georgia, and probably other states. Tho earth road can best bo crowned and ditched with a road machine, ntwi not with nicks and a' ovcIb, scoops and plows, Ono rond machine, with a suitable power ami opornior, will do tho work of many ninn with picks nnd Bhovols nnd do It better. Tho road machlno should bo used when the soil Is damp, so ns to make tho soil bake when It drys out. If It Is worked dry It takes moic power to draw the machine-, and, besides, dry oarth nnd dust retain moisture and quickly rut nfter rains. The use nt nlmlu ofiilu U'KPltu fir VOECtablC matter In building earth roads should bo avoided becauso uiey niso rcinm moisture. 4, It Is a great ntlstako to put the working of tho enrth orf until August or September. Tho surface Is then linked dry and hard. And It Is not only dlflcult to work but Ib unsatis factory work when dono. Karth which Is loose and dry will remain dusty ns long as tho dry weather lasts and then turn to mud as Hotni an tho rains begin. Ily using the rond machlno In tho spring of the yenr whllo the soil Is soft nnd damp, the surfneo Is moro easily shaped and soon pnckB down Into n dry hard crust which Is less liable to become dusty In summer or muddy In winter. Storm water should be disposed of quickly before It has time to pene trate deeply Into the surface. This can bo dono by giving tho road a crown or slopo from tho center to the sides. For an earth road which Is twenty-four feet wldo the center should not. bo less than six Inches or moro than twolvo Inches higher than tho outer edges of tho shoulders. A narow road which Is too high In tho middle will become rutted almost ns quickly ns ono which Is too flat, for tho reason that on the narrow load all tho truffle Is forced to use only n nnrrow strip.

It is difficult to maintain nn earth road, or nny kind of road for that matter, on a stoop grndo. Tho width of tho onrth road will depend on tho traffic. As n rule, 25 or 30 feet from ditch to ditch Is suf ficient, If the road Is properly crown ed.

Tho road should not bo loos ened, dug, or plowed tip nny moro thnn Ib absolutely necessary. Tho toad should bo gradually raised, not lowered; burdened, not softened.

A shallow ditch on tho upper sldo makes it posslblo to glvo culverts n good fall. Two 6r moro small pipes, instead of ono largo ono ot equnl capacity, may bo used for cul verts, especially If tho largo pipe necessitates much gardlng or raising of tho rondwny. At least six inches should he loft botweon each plpo and oarth should bo tamped around thorn thoroughly so ns to prevent a wash out. To provent washing on Btcop roadB, the water should bo carried under tho surface at frequent Intervals from tho upper to tho lower side, nnd from tho lower sldo nwny from tho road.

Tho maximum velocity (or a 21 Inch vitrified tile fluwlnn full without bend on u grndo of two Inches per hundred foot, Is 3.Q ("pot por Becond, or about 2 VI mlleB per hour.
