A letter carries words, but the Bell Service has
been brought up to such a point of perfection that the
modulations of the voice are clearly heard.
The cherry tones show that the talker is well and
in good spirits. The call may come from a suburban
village or a distant city, but within the limits of the
carrying power of the voice the Bell Service carries the
tone as well.

light weight, and still retaining the
same strength, an individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, go skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be even lighter.
