A New Telephone-
A new telephone is on exhibition
in a New York oflicc whieh, its in
ventors say, will lie a decided im
provement on the present system
and will not only dispense with the
services of the operators at the ex
change, but will materially lessen
the cost of maintenance of the sys-.
tein by requiring fewer wires. By
the new scheme a person wishing
to use the telephone makes his own
connection. A switch with II 11 v or
more number is used, and to call a
subscriber it is neeessarv onlv to
put a plug in the hole 'correspond
ing to the subscriber's number and
turn the switch, when he is called
up instantly without, disturbing the
other subscribers.
