Any hour of the night he may be roused from sleep. Somewhere the line is down and it is up to him to fix it. Right away. Usually the line is down because there has been a'stcrm. It isn't much fun to cling to the top of a pole with a zero gale taking your breath away. FINDING THE BREAK in the line is not as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that men had to trudge along through the storm, perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was found. Today there are delicate instruments v.-hich can locate the spot within a few rods from an office many miles away. They are so accurate that if there is a break in the 180 miles of line between Toronto and Sarnia, a man can sit in a building in Toronto and locate the spot within a pole's length or so. Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal and find a brcal: anywhere botwjcn there and Quebec. He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very pole to go to because every polo now is num- bered. BUT THE TROUBLE-SHOOTER has to do the; actual job and it means more than losing sleep or braving bad weather. It calls for very high technical skill. Big cables are simply lead containers holding hundreds of tightly packed wires, each fine as a hair. When the cable is burnt out for a stretch, or is opened, there is a fine looking mess. It looks like the stuffing of a hair mat- tress. Each of these hundreds of fine wires has to be connected again to its mate in the other half of the cable. If you can imagine youself finger- ing those wires at two o'clock of a stormy wintry morning you will realize how good the trouble-shooter has to be at his job. STORMS COST MONEY as well as dis- comfort. The telephone system has over 075,000 miles of wire strung on poles stretch- ing across 23,000 miles of country and every. storm hits some part of the system. A big storm can do a great deal of damage. Sleet has cost the telephone company as much" as a million dollars in one year. Sometimes one storm means spending more thiin $100,000 without delay. There is no time to call the directors together. The job has to be done and the money must be spent. The money is ready because the telephone company has followed a policy of making definite prov^on for such emergenci«s. And the job is done because the telephone business has mea and women, like the trouble- shooter, alive to the meaning of service and eager to keep the telephone in the froot rank of Caaadiao p.rogres*. .. . ,^ , t^Hiikti »y n« JM r«fa»ft«M C um f tm w •t CmmAi to Ml •â- • mudAti >*i* V What will come next in this old world of ours? Things are happening of late, and there seems no end to the procession of unusual occurrences remarks the Toronto Star. At Jarvis and Lom- bard streets, Toronto a squirrel and a duck were seen keeping company on the top of a telephone pole In the Utility Bulletin appears a stcrv of a nut-hunting squirrel which hit the porcelain insulator on a polo, believing it to be a nut. TherJ followed a short circuit and a dead squirrel. Also wood peckers are boring hoies in the poles and into' each hole they drive an acorn.

At any rato. the Enter- i prise says there w-ere thousands â€" and hundreds remained in the streets cfj the town all night, hurling themselv. j es against shop windows, attracted j by .the elwtric lights within, and thus, in some cases, meeting an un- timely end. At Midland a flock of wild geese, who.'o tickets to the south evidently carried stop-over privileges, spent some hours resting on the waters of Little Lake, where i geese have never been seen before I within the memory of man. Aii.i \ now the Midland Argus talks ofj making the lake a bird sanctuary-. | At Stayner a C.N.R. track foreman I found three soft and leathery snake- 1 eggs under a railway tie and too;.; them to the Sun office. One of them, on being! cut open, disclosed { a perfectly formed snake nearly 8 ' in'hes long, and at la.*t accounts \ the eptile was disporting itself in ; The Sun window. Believe it or not. There are other 1 goings-on just as remarkable. A wildcat as. big as a dog was shot 1 the other day in an elm tree near Brampton. It was first seen in an I apple tree by a man coming home from plowing. He had no idea what is was, but dislodged it by throwing stones, and he and his dog chased it to the elm, when a friend brought it down with a gun. It was a real j wildcat, not mining stock. The latter also came down unexpectedly at times. But the unexpected seems to be in the very elements these times. The Desronto Post tells of a long freight train which was passing the Boundary Road the other day when a particularily heavy gust of wind attackttl a car kbout the centre of the train and "scalped" it in true Indian Summer fashion. The roof was lifted from the car and landed somewhere in Tyendinaga township. But the crew noticed nothing wrong and 'tho train went on it.« way. If there was flax-seed in that car, If the rain caused it to swell, and if the car, in consequence, burst later with a loud report, no record of it has yet appeared in the press. But one never can ^ell. So many things are happening this fall. ^ The Christmas Gift with a futur^.
