at interest, admirably. 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

The floors throughout the building are
made of 2 by 6 inch timber placed

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

possible.
Thus it will be seen that the com
pany is doing its utmost, and best,
to keep the promise made last sum

AUXILIARY BISHOP.
WASHINGTON', Dec. 28.-That
Bishop Dennis G. O'Connell, rector
of the Catholic University, has been
appointed auxiliary buhop of San
