The Wonderland
of the Telephone
Many Phases of Telephones Are Shown in Talk. C. A. Ryder Describes In¬ tricacies of System at the Rockviile Centre Baptist Church.
An audience that went away feeling repaid heard C. A. Ryder of the New \ York Telephone Company deliver a stereopticon lecture entitled, "The Wonderland of the Telephone," last night at the Rockviile Centre Baptist Church.
Nearly 80 colored stereopticon slides were used by the lecturer to picture the points he made in his talk. "A Witty Irishman," said Mr. Ryder, "once struck the nail on the head with the remark 'that the telephone business is the most simple and the most complicated thing I ever saw in my life."' That remark was well proven before Mr. Ryder closed his re¬ marks.
From its early stages to its present devlopment, the telephone bosioess has appeared simple to the ootaider. The huge tasks that the telephone man must cope with in order to give the public the best possible telephone ser vice are unappreciated and seldom un¬ derstood.
Pictures were thrown on the screen showing various sizes of telephone cables holding from 25 to 800 and as high as 1200 wires. Each wire is wrapped separately in thin paper, and a pair of wires are needed for every telephone.
A typical cable vault in one of the large New York City exchanges con¬ taining 50 cables carrying 45,000 wires was shown, on which "talk trains" run in and out of the city and to all points of the compass. "These cables are simply boried treasure," said Mr. Ryder. In Manhattan and the Bronx alone 14 million pounds of copper and 86 million pounds of leAd are stored beneath the surface.
After seeing the cables, the audi¬ ence went to the Wire Chief's desk, where sits the man whe constantly watches the whole system. It is his duty to keep the vast network of wires in working order. The back of a large switchboard was shown.    "When   you
Frank J. Sprague has purchased the hardware bosiness of C. EI. Jones. Claude Brotheridge, who has been as¬ sociated with Mr. Jones for several years, will continue with Mr. Spragoe as manager of the store.
R. Hennenlotter, grocer, is now in his new boilding on the east side of Main Street, just south of Raynor Street, and the former store of R. A. Combs which he vacated, remains empty. Mr. Combs, the owner, is in poor health, and will not open the busi¬ ness again at present.
The former Elijah Raynor building, a block further south, is having a store front put on, facing on Main Street, and George Seaman, grocer, will occu¬ py it, instead of the Terry building on the corner of Southside Avenoe, and Main Street, now occupied by him.
The Fieeport Public Library has now been in existence thirty years, and judging from the figures of in¬ crease during the past year of its growth, proves itself one of the most popular institutions of the village, where l.'^OO books on the average are taken out each month. For the past year to October 1, 1914, the total cir¬ culation was 15,522 books. For the most part these were the latest nov¬ els, classified and adult fiction.
The number of books in tbe library at present is 4866. In 1900 it was 2225; in 1909, five years ago, 3655; a yomr ago, 4754. The increase in the number of books for 1918-1914 was 112; 1644 borrcwers have secured lib¬ rary cards. A year ago the number was 1262, with an increase this year of 382. The circulation shows a propor¬ tionate increase From October 1, 1912, to Oeteber 1, 1913, it was 14, 372, and from October 1, 1914, there were 1140 more books taken out, or a total of 16.522.

"you see where the money is spent One board will cost as much as the Statue of Liberty in New York Har¬ bor. The total cost of the switch¬ boards in the 67 exchanges in New York City alone is more than ten mil¬ lion dollars."
