'PHONE INDUSTRY OF WORLD
Comparative Statistics of Develop
ment in All Lands.
UNITED STATES FAR IN THE LEAD
Capital Istreated In Bnalaesa, Record
of Calls, Heveuue Aeeraed and
tn World' Mileage
of Wire.
Th Electrical Review and Western Elec
trician presents quite fully statistics re
specting the telephone industry of the
entire world. These figures have been ob
tained from various reports, issued by the
companies In all countries, and have been
In th course of preparation for six months
cast.
It shows, stalling in 1877 with ti first
Introduction of the telephone Into com
merce, that the varvice lias grown to such
an extent thut, there were in uie in the
WorWetklcohonetehor.
---. C.J,,
the United States, and Stockholm, Sweden,
for the honor of first place In number of
subscribers per inhabitants Los Angeles
leading with 61,000 stations and 110,000 In
habitants and Stockholm following with
68,000 stations, and 30,000 inhabitants.
Telephoae Investment.
As will be seen from the statistics pre
sented, the telephone Investment of the
world amounted on January L 110, to 11.
rtiO.000,000 or $146 per station, and the tele
phone conversations, of th world for the
year 1909 amounted to 19,000,000,000 of which
the United States used nearly two and
one-half times those of all other countries
in the world.
It is further shown that the United States
ha over 66 per cent of the entire world'
Investment In the telephone business. In th
last ten years the telephone station
.throughout civilisation have Increased from
less than 2.000,000 station to over 10,000,000,
or more than five fold, and the present
rapid .development promises to continue.
It is interesting to note that the United
States shows a growth during this same
period frpm l,000,OOa.telephone stations to
over 7,000,000, an increase of over seven
fold. The diagrams herewith indicate graph
ically the relative conditions of telephone
traffic, station extent and comparative util
isation In the United States and abroad.
Telephone Development.
The estimated development of the various
countries of the world January 1, 1910,
proves that the United States Is far In the
lead, with 7.ti stations per 100 population.
A complete list of all countries with an
appieclable telephonic development Is
shown in the following table:
Estimated Stations
world on January 1. 1910, over 10.000.X)0 su
tlers and over H.OUO.OX! miles of wire, of
Which two-thirds of the telephones and the
wire mlittnge is in the United Ktates. The
Interesting fact Is nlno shown that tho
German empire leads all European coun
tries in th number of stations, the latert
statistics giving It over 900.000. However,
New York state alone has, at the present
time, TOO 000 telephone in use, only 1X.0A
les than th entire tlerman empire.

1 On January 1. 1910, ther were In the
: world approximately 10.2,00 telephone sta-'
With but 6 per cent of the world's popu
lation, thel Unlted States on' January V l10,
a on January 1,. 1909, n possessed - 69 per
cent of the world's telephones and 66' per
cent of th world' telephone wlr mileage.
Compared with the postal and telegraph
traffic, the United -States had but 23 per
cent of th world first-class mall matter
and 22 per cent of the world's telegraph
wire mileage.
A comparison between' the' United States
and Europe. January 1, 1910, shows that
Europe, with" flv times the population of
th United States, has an estimated .sta
tion development per 100 Inhabitants of 0.6,
against 7.6 In the United SUtes;. in other
words, the telephonic development of
Europe is onetwelfth that of tie United
Stages. -
The difference in development between
European countrie and th United States
is furthermore shown by the development
of the German empire, which lead' ' all
European countries with 910,Ju9 station as
compared with the development of New
Tot k state, with 745.900. The latter exceeds I'
by over 120.000 station th development of
Great Britain, which ha th second largest
number of station. Franc and Swtdrn
do not reach th development -of Pennsyl
vania by about 70,000 stations, while th
combined development of the three Scandi
navian kingdoms Is exceeded two and one
half time by th development of New
Tork.
In Continental Europe, excluding th Ger
man 'empire there' are about' 1,000,000 sta
tions. Thi development is exceeded by
nearly 200,000 by that of Pennsylvania and
New York combined.
' Revenue.
. Th gToaa revenue In Europe from tele
phone service for 1907 (latest figures obtain
able) was about $76,000,000, and for the
United ' State for that year, according to
the United States census reports, was about
$185,000,000. ' r
Most of the European countries In whdeh
th telephone la a monopoly of the state
and conducted; a a branch of the postal
and telegraph service, estimate that the
telephone service per se produces a net
revenue. Thu the German postofflce esti
mates that tnat brancn nets the treasury
$2,668,000 annually, or about 2 per cent on
th capital of $136,539,060. The depreciation
allowed .Is,, however. , low. Again, as the
poet!, 'telegraph and telephone systems are
managed by. the same state department It
1 probable that the operating expenses' of
the telephone service 'proper would Increase
considerably, provided due account were
kept of many Important item.

SELLS-FL0T0 CIRCUS AT HAND
Grent Western Show Will Exhibit It
Attraction to Oniaha Folk.
on Monday.
Fresh from its triumphal tour through
the far west and middle states comes the
Sells-Flo to circus tomorrow, better equipped
and more magnificent in its general ap
pointments . than . ever before.
It is something when a circus can boast
of having turned away more people by
reaiun of lack of accommodations than any
attraction ever offered 'to the amusement
loving public. This, briefly. Is the history
of the Sells-Floto tour this year.
Taking a hint from other enterprises,
which imd proved beyond a doubt that
popular prloed entertainments, provided
they were equally as good as their com
petitors, would receive unqualified public
support, the Sells-Floto' people came for
ward with tho announcement that the regu
lar conventional circus price of admission
had been cut in half by them. If one takes
the evidence of tho present seubou us a
criterion to go by it would seem that the
popular- price circus has coine to stay.
The time-honored parade will be given
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and from it
can 'be gathered some Idea of the possibili
ties of this western circus. The pageant
will leave tho circus lot at Twentieth and
Paul, over Twentieth to Cuming street, to
Sixteenth street, to Douglas, to Tenth, to
Farnam, to Fifteenth, to Howard, to Six
teenth, to Cuming, to Twentieth and back
to the grounds.
The added special attractions offered by
Sells-Floto may be summed up as follows:
The twin baby elephants, the only twin
elephants ever exhibited In public; two
teams of the famous Armour gravs (prise
winners on both continents), the celebrated
Nelson family of acrobats, the Davenports
premier equestrians; Spader Johnson, em
peror of clowns, agisted by Lawn Moore
and forty other clowns; the flvlng Her
berts from Australia, th Juggling Nor
mans, star feature of th Orpheum circuit
the Les Jundts, the Borsinl family, fresh
from the New York hippodrome; Doilte
Julian snd Fred Ledgett, equestrians from
the famous winter circus; the Bedinis, the
Gulce family, the Melnotls In their great
wlr act the Hollands with their troupe of
trained horse,, Captain John Carroll, pre-
A' t'eds; Prof. Fred Alls
paw with ,, unequalled herd of elephants
besides a hoM of conventional auctions.
