cally possible It Is quite likely that
eventually a solution will be found.
MaJ V. A J O'Meara. engineer In
chief of the work of connecting ICiir
land and Krance by telephone, is con
fident that transatlantic telephony will
come with continued advancement In
the means of Increasing the range of
telephonic speech In a letter to Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine he says:
"Ab to my views on the possibility
and value of establishing a telephone
across the Atlantic, I may say that
such n service would of course, bo of
considerable value, but such a dcslrn
bl consummation does not at present
appear to be in immediate sight.
"Existing means or devices for In
creasing the range of speech, both In
submarine and subterranean conduc-
iurs. may oe very conBiuernoiy im- j
proved in the near future and further
improvements may bo mado both In
transmitting and receiving apparatus.
"In view of the enormous strides
made In recent years In tho direction
of Increasing the tange of telephonic
speech, I think the prospect of trans
atlantic telephony is full of hope,
and I confess that I have great faith
I. the ability ot engineers to provide
eventually the means for closer tutor
courso of peoples separated by oh
staclos which may bo considered In
surmountable nowadas"
At first blush the layman will point
out that transatlantic submarine cable
telegraphy has been in successful op
eration for many years; so why not
transatlantic telephony? The answer
is that while telegraphy Is pos
slblo as long us the receiving station
is ablo to discern the difference be
tween a short and a long electrical im
pulse, the Impulse that constitutes an
electrical telephonic message must bo
transmitted and received with little
or no alteration In order to be recog

left Chlcngo.
Tho object of this tour was flvo
fold: To Insplro nnd strengthen the
interest in Sunday school work, to
consider practical Sundny school prob

day school as tho church's best evan
gelistic force, and to cnll attention to
Its work ns a missionary force and as
a medium for tho cultivation of the
spirit of International brotherhood and
peace
Mr Lawranco considers the position
of tho English Sunday hchool move
ment to be satisfactory. When asked
whether he considered the American
child brighter than tho English, Mr
Lnwrance replied.
"No, children are children the world
over "
Ills aphorisms have a directness
