Thirty-five short years, and presto the newborn art of telephony is fullgrown. Three million telephones are now scattered abroad in foreign countries, and seven millions are massed here, in the land of its birth. So entirely has the telephone outgrown the ridicule with which, as many people can well remember, it was first received, that it is now in most places taken for granted, as though it were a part of the natural phenomena of this planet. It has so marvellously extended the facilities of conversation - that "art in which a man has all mankind for competitors" - that it is now an indispensable help to whoever would live the convenient life. The disadvantage of being deaf and dumb to all absent persons, which was universal in pre-telephonic days, has now happily been overcome; and I hope that this story of how and by whom it was done will be a welcome addition to American libraries.

1929. An explanation of the rise and fall of business firms and nations. Another volume from England's leading business writer. Casson explains his Formula of Progress is as follows: In the Evolution of the human race upwards, all progress depends upon the production of a comparatively small number of improved individuals, who are superior to the mass in knowledge, skill or character, and who, by reason of their superior powers, render a new service the mass of people among whom they live. This is the law of the efficient few. It points out that Progress depends upon the differentiation of a few higher quality samples of human beings. The mass of people are never progressive. The mass of people can destroy, but they can never create. They can pull down, but they cannot build up. All the constructive work in the world is done by a few individuals, and usually in spite of the active opposition of the mass. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

"Snap that reed again, Watson," cried the apparently irrational young professor. There was one of the odd-looking machines in each room, so it appears, and the two were connected by an electric wire. Watson had snapped the reed on one of the machines and the professor had heard from the other machine exactly the same sound.
