LOoNG-MISTANCE telephone service
is becoming common in this country,
and a growing demand for it causes a
gradual extension. The longest con-
tinuous line now operated is from
Boston to Milwaukee, a di as
the line is run, of 1,300 milles. Five
minutes is the unit of time upon
which prices are based. Between
New York and Washington the ser-
vice costs $2 for cach five minutes®
use, and between New York and Chi
cago it is #9 for the same service. It
is claimed that conversation may
as distinctly heard at 1,000 miles as ;
one mile, and that in these long-dis-
tance communications the
able buzzing so often heard
service is not ced.
