The board h divided into four sections, upon each of which every number on the board is centered, thus making it possible for each operator to serve any call sent in, without passing the call down, the line as is now the case with th old board. This accounts for the title of "multiple" given the board and simplifies the work about ten-fold. Each section is perfectly complete n itself, and others will be added as tht business grows, as it surety will. Th "toll end of the switchboard is given up entirely to the long-distance serv ice, and is supplied with a beautiful piece of clock work mechanism known as the "catculagraph," a machine on which is registered the hour, minute and second of the beginning, and end ing, the long-distance message; thus relieving the operator of the cum brous work of keeping time on the manifold communications or figuring time out at all; all is done automati cally and with exactitude that may not be gainsaid. The board will be in charge of a chief operator and eight assistants, with day and night shifn. the latter biing reduced as to opera tors, owing to the diminution of night business in proposition to the wo k of the day. Passing from the street floor to the basement, one enters the battery room, which is painted in lugubrious black, an asphalt piant that resists the play of the powerful acids em ployed in the big-set batteries of 24 voltage each. It is an interesting apartment, and all the metal work is deeply coated with the dismal paint, the efficacy of which is plainly appar ent even to the novice, Oa long-distance service these batteries are used in double-series so as to increase the voltage necessary to expedite the message, . On this floor is found the "power board," an intricate machine that serves to distribute the power equally to the wires as they are called into use. It is a wonderful piece of steel in detail and will be charged with a current purchased from local sources and applied to the switchboard and batteries after it has been transformed to the uses and purposes of the busi ness, the transformer being en route to this city now. Near this valuable machinery stands the fuse-board, through and over which pass all en ergy wires used in the business, and which serves as a scheme of protec tion and an indicator of all power power troubles, with an electric lamp to determine the wire at fault; and near to this instrument, is the coal rack, a piece of ingenious mechnism, the main feature of which, to the lay man, is the repeating coal that meas ures the fum pf energy transmitted t- any and all of the service wires; and this is supplemented by what is known as line-relayracks, by means of which one gets in touch with each subscriber's line and light on the big switchboard upstairs. Over in th? corner of this big department stands the wire-chief's desk, itself equipped with a lot of brilliant metal disks, keys and appurtenances, all of which have some especial and useful func 1111 MEAT CO Cash Prices Soup Meat, 3c to 5c lb.

The floors throughout the building are made of 2 by 6 inch timber placed on edge, for the purpose of reducing vibration, abating all noise, and con tributing another safeguard against the ever-present danger of fire. All outer doora are flanked by double iron lined doors which render a like! service, and every other detail of construction is on a par with the main features herein attempted to be de scribed. The whole conforming to the rules of construction employed by thl company aH over the country and bringing the technicalities within range of an exact outlay and exact treatment everywhere, one building and service being, in a general sense, an exact duplicate of all the rest; which, by the way, is a long economic step and one to be commended from a business standpoint. It is hoped to get the plant in oper ation very early in January, and noth ing will be allowed to retard it save the unavoidable delay in the delivery of the supplies from the various sources over the country. And once started, every subscriber will be furn ished with the new 'phone described in the opening lines of this article. In the meantime a force of eleven linemen are hard at work on the poles and cablet outside, bringing every thing within workabte touch with the home-plant and making ready to con nect up the moment it shall become possible. Thus it will be seen that the com pany is doing its utmost, and best, to keep the promise made last sum mer in this behalf.

O'Connell, rector of the Catholic University, has been appointed auxiliary buhop of San Francisco, is confirmed in a cablegram received from the Tapal secretary of state announcing that the Pope has made the appointment, and the Apos folic briefs will be received within the next fortnight.
