Consider ing the short length of time which has elapsed since the telephone was in- vented, the growth of the service is indeed marvellous. As compared with other countries the figures are still more striking. The combined popula- tion of Europe is 354 857.776, or nearly Six times that of the United States, and yet there are only 336,037 telephone stations on the continent, or one to every 970 of the population. France ,with a population of 38 343,. 193, has only 20,500 telephones, or less than the New England state alone.
