Conrad TELEPEONE CABLES HIGHLY DEVELOPED Have Reached Present Excel- lence as Result of Con- stant Research and Experimentation The present telephone cable which is being used more extensively each year by the Bell system has reached its high grade development as a result of researches and experimentation that have been continuous from the early days of the invention of the telephone. At the present time the under- ground wire of the Bell system totals some 30,000,000 miles of wire and represents an investment of about $500,000,000 so that improvements in cable and reduction in the cost of manufacture leads to far reaching results, Enlarged cross sections of telephone eables, showing relative sizes in 1888 and at present. The lower cable, which is the 1927 model, accommodates 2400 wires and is only slightly larger than the upper cable in use in 1888 and accommodating only 100 wires. From the standpoint of cost it is interesting to note that a cable con- taining fifty pairs of wires, which was the largest used in 1888, cost about $1556 a mile for each pair of wires in the cable. At the present time cables with 1200 pairs of wires cost in the neighborhood of $13.00 a mile per pair. While the cost is con- siderably lower on the modern cable, the present standard cable also con- tains a much greater number of wires. This permits the new cables to meet more easily. the large demands of present day telephone growth. Many problems in cable construe- tion had to be overcome before the present high grade cables were de- | veloped. Proper insulation of the wires, proper covering or sheath, suit- able methods for associating the wires and placing them in the sheath all had to be determined and adopted. Early cables consisted of a small num- ber of wires heavily insulated with rubber or cotton and drawn into short lengths of lead pipes. The present paper insulation was unknown. To prevent interference with the trans- mission of speech in some of the early eables, each wire in the cable was surrounded by an auxiliary cover of lead or tinfoil wound outside the in- sulating cover. This, of course. made the wires bulky and meant the use of a great amount of raw materials. An idea of the growing importance of cable today may be obtained from the fact that in 1892, 20,000 miles of telephone wire were added to the un- derground plant of the Bell system. Last year 3,000,000 miles were added—a hundred and fifty times as much. As time goes on the demands for telephone service will mean that more wire will be required. This wire in the populated centers at least will have to be underground and in cables. Outside of thickly settled urban sections, the ove 1d cable is being used more 4 ely each year. These conta imbers of wires wi remark all space and they are practically proof against the ravages of the wind and storm. Howard P. Seese, forest ranger in the Sproul state forest, Pennsyl- vania, has a chain more than seven feet in length made from rattles of the snakes he has killed. He main- tains that a rattler’s age cannot be told by the number of rattles, as from two to four may be gained in a year.

Department of 3 3] “FR SHOP Reports of th indica hats roxim- laid Grain Trade Periled by Railroad Rebates Serious troubles were encountered | by Chicago traders in the early nine- ties through the practice of accepting railroad rebates. The railroads of the time were keenly aggressive, and they inaugurated a war of cutthroat com- petition, giving rebates to heavy and regular shippers—a sort of bidding for business. At first the rebates were welcomed by shippers, who were flat: tered by the thought that they were getting something for nothing. The practice became such an abuse that more than one grain firm faced finan: cial disaster because of it. No one ever knew just how great was the re- bate that his competitor ohtained and the whole situation added a trade hazard that was immeasurable. - The rebates ran from 10 to 25 per cent of the published tariff, It was, of course, difficult for the concern that was able to obtain only 10 per cent rebate to compete with the one that got the 25 per cent reduction. Another phase of the rebate system was that the rebate was merely a sort of “gentlemen's agreement” between the trader and some high official of the railroad. Nothing ever was written about the rebate. The *“gentlemen’s agreement” sometimes became a disagreement and there was then no way to force the railroad to live up to the understand- | ing.—James A.

When Robert Burns, the Scottish plowboy, was breaking the soil on his father's farm, he probably did not think that the shoes he then wore would be objects of curiosity 3,000 | miles away long after his death. But the shoes that the great poet | wore when a lad are owned by a gen tleman who lives in Portland, Maine, | and many. of the boys of that city have inspected them. The shoes have wooden soles, which in turn are shod with thin plates of iron. The uppers are tacked to the | soles in a rude but strong manner, | and the historic footgear is in a good | state’ of preservation.—Philadelphia | Inquirer. | Shoes of Robert Burns | Brains and Beauty Can genius be detected by facial ex- pression? is a guestion yet to be solved by science. Socrates and Lincoln are notable examples of geniuses whose looks were not in keeping with their brilliant minds. On the other hand, Jyron and Shelley were both attrac tive in appearance, so there is no ground for assuming that mental “heauty” and facial are connected One peculiarity of many great men is that their faces are not the same on hoth sides. This can be tested with a photograph. By covering half of it and then comparing the two parts, two distinet faces will sometimes be re- 9 Sy vealed. * The Smallest World From time to time the earth ap proaches a very little world, one that might be walked around in two or three da for it is only 85 miles round.

Famous “Blacklist” Publication of the names of debtors who paid in depreciated currency, during and after the Civil war period was known as the greenback “black- list.” The Pacific coast states ecobn- ducted trade and other operations on the gold standard. It was censidered a breach of faith to buy on a gold basis and pay in paper money, though it was legal tender. The boycott was unknown, but the blacklist was not illegal and the practice of publica- tion was common.
