A great step in advance is an nounced by the American Telephone company. This step is the under ' ground connection of Boston with Washington, so that the human voice can be heard under the new system practically as distinctly as it now can be heard through the use of overhead wires.- . ' , At the same time, t?ie company an nounced that as the result of many years' experience with underground wires, it soon will be possible to use the telephone for commercial , pur poses between ' New York and San Francisco. The distance from Boston to Washington is 452 miles, and from New York to San Francisco more than 3400 miles. It may appear like a simple matter to install an underground telephone , system 452 miles in length. But the problem of telephone conversation over underground wires is a peculiar one. The retarding effect of the earth upon the telephone wires is said to be so great that one mile of underground wire forme, iy was considered as troublesome in cutting down clearness pf speech a 100 miles of overhead .wire, Jp to eight years ago there was no underffWUPd telephone cable of more than 20 mlj jn Jength. At present the underground tiltipho.ne system between New York and Bos tH) ft ditP.? Pf S20 miles, which is ""in good working order, Is fully twice as long as any similar system in Europe. According to the Boston hews bu reau there is a picturesque statistical side to the Boston-Washington un derground line. It carries 74 pairs of wires which permit of 25 phantoms Or 99 talking circuits. This under ground cable weighs 9,070 tons, of which 2,982 tons is copper, 5,630 is lead sheath and 458 tons is paper in sulation. It represents 400 freight cars of freight. The total cost has been about $5,000,000. The perfection of the underground telephone system is another case of necessity being the mother of inven tion. Year (after year t!he telephone company suffered great loss 'of money and impaired efficiency of service tli rough Btorms and sleets, which tumbled down the overhead wires. This continued aggravation led to the imperative order that something must be done to solve the underground dif ficulties, and after years of experi ment we have the result. HATING THE OTHER FELLOW. Most animosities ore caused by mis understandings. The Mexicans hnte us because they do not understand us; many of us are inclined to despise Mexins becsnsp we do not under stand them. Racial and personal an tipathies' are duo almost entirelv to the fact that men won't take the trou ble to get acquainted. International peace will bo nearer realization when the nations of the world get topMheiv intermingle more, study each other's languages, manners, customs, history, tradition, and so come to realize the reasons for the peculiarities that to- day are such fruitful sources of fric- tion. In industry there is a strong ten dency toward co-operation where for merly' there was the bitterest compe tition. Men in the same line of busi ness get together and exchange ideas for their mutual benefit. Not so many years ago dealers in the same line looked on each .other as natural ene mies. It did not seem reasonable that they could be anything else. Cut throat methods were in vogue. To ruin the other fellow seemed the best way of aiding one's self; today we help the other fellow and so help our selves. It is still selfishness but it is a more enlightened selfishness. Ac quaintance has made it possible. Personal antipathies still linger. Ninety per cent of them are due to misunderstanding. : If we could look into men's hearts as into an open book the chances are that we . would hate very few of them. We would see that they are very much like our selves, striving, of course, for them selves, but willing to do some incident al good to us and to others. We would see that the rough edges which we now dislike are there becausa of environment, heredity, incidents in their Jives which have made deep im pressions. : If we could not sympa thize we at least could understand and find their petty traits very human even while we recognized them, as petty. ... In an interview at Chicago Gov ernor West remarked, "there are many of us who should be in the peniten tiarv." He mieht also have added that the asylums are not caring for every person entitled to be there. Flora is to have a bank. Since the Golden Rule company invaded that section money is becoming more plen tiful, evidently. There is a general feeling that if a boy does not play marbles for keeps, how will he be able to get money away from other people when he grows up? A Free Lecture on Economy. Breakfast comes first.
