The Western Union officials have chosen Meriden and Wallingford s xperimental points for the establish- ent of the first telegraph-telephone ‘service system in the country. When the Western Union company was tak. en over it was understood that many of the small towns where there were no telegraph offices were to be covered and other places where the telegraph business was not large were to be cared for through larger cities near- b It was announced that the tele- phone office in Wallingford weuld handle the telegraphic service here- after. There will s be special telephone operators in Wallingford, who will re- ceive all messages and transmit them immediately- by telephone to the Western Union _office in Meriden, where they will be put on the wires without delay. When telegraph messages are sent to Wallingford they will be received at the Meriden office and telephoned to the branch office. The messages will be telephoned to the addresses at ‘Wallingford. is possible, and if not, a uniformed messenger will be ready to take them out. Night and day letters will be cared for in this same fashion, and thus it can he seen that the Wallingford telegraph service should be better than it has ever been. This arrangement will, of course, ‘in- crease the busincss in Meriden, and a new assistant has been secured by Manager Gaffev, who will look after the telephone messages. It is planned later to take care of Soutbington, Cheshire Plainville, and Milldale in the me fashion and give all these towns the benefit of a city telegraph office. "NEW BOOKS. Patri’'s White Patch. By Angelo Patri, principal in the public schools of New York city. Cloth, 12mo, 216 pages, with illustrations. Price, 40 cents. American Book company, New York, Cincinnati and Chicago. This story is for supplementary reading in the fourth and fifth years of school. In its original Italian ver- sion it has been very popular with children, and is here adequately trans- Jated for the first time for American schools. It tells of ‘the adventures of a- little boy who dreams that he is changed into an ant. The wonderful social organization of the ants is clearly and interestingly described: their battles, their work and play, and their insect neighbors and enemies— the bees, the wasps, the ant-lions, the caterpillars, and the srubs—are all graphically portrayed. The child who reads the book will not only- learn what wonderful creatures ants and bees are, but will never again be cruel to even the most insignificant forms of inseet life.
