Talk About Telephones
(By Staff Correspondent, reporting lec¬ ture before Epworth League of Free- port M. E. Church, November 19.) This evening is a particularly gay occasion at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, 1876. A vast crowd of people surge throagh the spacious Hall of Inventions, the babel of their voicea rises above the stirring crash of brass bands. All contrivances and in¬ ventions of the century are to be seen in gala attire. Howe's sewing ma¬ chine, McCormick's reaper and bund* reds of others, nearly all the work of Yankee homespun ingenuity. In a far corner is Alexander Graham Bell and his discovery of the telephone. Bell claims thia machine of his can transfer speech. We are inclined to think him an idiot. The merriment is at ita height as announcement is made that his Majesty, the Emperor of Brazil, will inspect the various ma¬ chines in the hail. The Emperor is visiting the United States for the sole reaaon of seeing the exposition. While on his tour of inspection his highness meets Prof. Bell with whom he is ac¬ quainted. Tbe latter asks him to try the telephone. The emperor is skep¬ tical aa to the telephone speaking', so the throng of jeering people who have gathered to watch the experiment. Prof. Bell gives directions to his as¬ sistants and the Emperor places the receiver to his ear. Suddenly he half rises as if to restrain himself from jumping from fright. His face pales, then hoarsely almost a shout, "Great Heavens! It talks!" Not a twitter from the crowd. Prof. Bell's face is radiant. Thus was the birth, the un¬ folding of the telephone. As a trum¬ pet call flares the battlefleld, so this seemingly insignificant episode reverb¬ erated through every clime of the civ¬ ilized world. And the result, from the laborer to the financier today the tele¬ phone means the same thing; a neces sity in every phase of life. To the progressive business man the telephone is what bread is to the human body. This is not alone in the United States bot Europe, Asia and wherever there is civilization. It appears one verit¬ able fact that "All the nations rejoice and give thanks to tbe telephone."
Alexander Graham Bell first saw the light of day on March 3, 1847, at Edin¬ burgh, Scotland. His father, Alex¬ ander M. Bell, was the inventor of a system whereby deaf mutes could bave their speech restored. Yoong Bell at¬ tended the public schools of his town and later studied at Edinburgh Uni¬ versity. At the age of 23 years Bell and his father emigrated to Canada. It was here that the future inventor began a vital study of relationship be¬ tween sound and electricity. His nmin reason for this was to gain a thorough scope of his father's speech system, which young Bell now taaght profes¬ sionally One of his experiments in this direction was to mount a human ear and study its adaptions for receiv¬ ing sound. This period inculcated into Bell's great brain tbe idea of the tele¬ phone. He realized its possibilities and the thought haunted faina until he succeeded in conquering it. Two years afterward Bell was offered <a profess¬ orship in vocal physiology at the Bos- 'ton University, Boston, Mass. This was accepted and his domicile was changed to the Hub. BeH now became interested in what he called the bar monic telegraph, the object of which was to send seven or eigkt Morse mess ages on one single wire without inter¬ ference. Though his idea was never perfected, it led to a trenendoosly im portant discovery later on One even¬ ing shortly afterward. Bell was work¬ ing on a model with his assistant, Thomaa A. Watson. Casually, the former remarked: "Wataon I want to tell you of another iaea I liave which I think' will aurpriae yov. If I could make a current of electriaty vary in intensity, precisely as tbe air varies in density, during the production of sound, I shooid be able to transfer speech telegraphically." These iden¬ tical worda form the idea which had surged behind Bell's high forehead for years. Instmments were nade on thia principle and the construction of the first Bell telephone had commenced.
Failure after failure ensued, and at times both Bell and hia assistant, Wataon, woold bave gladly thrown up their hands had not some insistent po^yer concentrated them to it. Fin¬ ally defects'were located in tfae instru¬ ment These were remedied and sud¬ denly good fortune stared them in the face. A wire had been rigged from the attic down two storiea, the proper apparatus was at both ends. Watson on the lower level had the receiver to his ear, when he heard a jumble of worda that aoonded like "Mr. Wataon, please eome here, I want yoo." Evi¬ dently Bell experienced some difficulty ai his end and had called his assistant, who he thought waslh the next room. At the time he did not know thut those words were going into history as the first ever apoken over the telephone.
It required months of unflagging en¬ ergy to perfect the inatroment and after the Centennial Exposition already described had paased, the crowning glory of the telephone waa speaking between Boston and Cambridge. This waa a conventional affair and pages of
