The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a bond Office will bo established in the central part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone appliances according to the new- est and most approved European and American invontions. Each subscri- ber will be supplied with a complets set of Instruments and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.

When, wishing to use the Telephone, a Subscriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires are the immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct ce minunication with nach other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are than disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired and so on. The dialogue between this subscribers. is of course quite private and can only be heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood, that the massage are not spoken to the Can. tral Office, and thence transmitted to the persou to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be earried with perfect ease and privacy.
