In a telephone kiosk in. King Edward street, outside the General Post Office, London, the telephone receiver is of the hand-microphone type. According to the telephone engineers, there can be no actually sound-proof telephone bos. Once sound is eliminated, air is also shut out, and the caller is liable to be suffiocated.

Eventually every telephone kiosk in England will be equipped >vith such receivers.
