Popularity of the Telephone.

Berlin and Vienna were connected by telephone only about a month ago, and already there is business enough to need another line. The line has been connected with Trieste at one end and Hamburgh at the other, making a total length of 906 miles. It is expected that Hamburgh will soon be connected with Copenhagen, which is joined to the Swedish system, extending 850 miles north, when it will be possible for northern Sweden and southern Austria to communicate by ’ lephona.
