As many as 26 "calls", to New York and other parts of the United States were made from one big West End hotel one day, last mail week, all of them by American bual

A few recent visitors have found their talks to America the most expensive part of their stay in town. It costs £5 a minute.

"There was an American busi nese man here last week," said an

official of the Savoy Hotel "whose telephone bills for talks to Chicage came to four and a half times the amount of his hotel bill. One of his conversations had cost £55.

Some of the West End hotels have found if necessary to imitate the Post Office and collect the heavy fces from their guests as soon as possible after the "eal" to avoid startling additions on the hotel bill.

Many telephone subscribers in the London area, having spoken to America from their private houses, have been surprised to receive the bill within an hour or two of the

call." and to receive a telephone reminder if they do not pay it with in twenty-four hours.

WIRELESS ABROAD.

However disgruntled the people in the British Isles may be with regard to the bill of fare dished up to them by the broadcasting authorities, it would appear to be abundantly clear that our ap- paratus is thoroughly appreciated in foreign lands, says the London correspondent of a Liverpool paper. In conversation with people in the right quarters I as. certained that we are constantly increasing the output both of complete sets and spare parts, and a large proportion, of these are going to Russia, Australia, and Japan. The first-named is & quite recent comer into the market, but as she has recently acquired a magnificent broad- casting station of immense pos sibilities, there is great likelihood. of a tremendous business being done in the future. As showing to what extent the exportation has been carried on, last month's figures totalled £88,765, Japan heading the list with £14,684, Australia following with £12,980, and Russia being a close third with £11,129.

began to arrive just after six, and for the rest of the morning trans- mitters and receivers were working at full capacity.

"We have got just as much to deal with as we can handle," said an official of the G.P.O. to a press representative. The service is working very well indeed, and the rush of work is tremendous. It things go on like this we shall have to think about a second service.

"Communication: is quite stable, There are a few rough edges, but these will wear away when we get into the work. We are working at a steady 150 words a minute."

Sir J. Joynton Smith, proprietor of the "Sydney Daily Guardian," cabling in reply to a message from Mr. C. P. Scott on the occasion of the opening of the beam wireless service to Australia, says:

THE USES OF ADVERSITY.

An unfortunate accident recently occurred in Leicester, when a large plate-glass window of a wireless shop was amashed by heavy gales, Although many articles displayed in the shop window were broken, all the Mullard P.M. Valves were found latact with the exception of one.

In this case the bulb was broken, but the P.M. Filament remained in- tnct and undisplaced.

The dealer with prompt business foresight employed the nccident for advertisement by placing the broken valve in his window with a large display ticket reading:

"You can break my windows but you cannot break the wonder- ful P.M. Filament.".

The cream of this incident is yet. to be told.
