Dr. Bell's mother was a gifted mu- sician ang a painter and from her is derived a fondness for music which later aided him in the study of the science of sounds. i Dr. Bell went with his family to London in 1865, and there became 2 student In University College, and later in the University of London. He taught several children to speak whe were born deaf, and for a had charge of his father's pro- fessional work in giving lessons in correcting defects in speech. He took up the study of Helmholtz theories about sound reproduction, and before 1870 he already predicted that me: some day would “talk by telegraph. It was fn August of 1870 that the Bell family crossed the Atlantic and set- tled at Brantford. Ontario. Dr. Bell at this time was studying the problem of multiple transmission of messages M | by telegraph. In 1872 he went to live 20|y Boston, having been appointed a lecturer_on vocal physiology, and it was in Boston that he completed his great work for civilization, the in- Vention of the telephone. First Electric Telephone. Working on the theory that “speak- ing by telegraph” was possible, Dr. Bell soon realized that the problem of inventing an electric speaking tele- phone was that of producing 2 varia- {tion in the intensity of an electrical current exactly like that which oc- curred in the density of the air while a given sound was made. It was in July, 1875, that he devised what was practically the first electric speaking Yelephone. Fundamentally, this ap- aratug was precisely the same as the rmpro\'ed telephone of 1922. It had far on- by ac- tor nel be 1ds to- led vi- on ng. nk. to |it was not until the following year {that Dr. Bell considered the instru- ment sufficiently improved to file an application for 2 patent on the speak- ing telephone in Washington. The application was filed the year e centennial exposition in Phila- delphia, and there the speaking tele- phone was demonstrated for the first fime in the presence of noted scien- tists. 08- l rll'll Installed in 1S76.

Invented Telephone Probe. The brilllancy and world-wide utility of Dr. Bell's great invention {has somewhat overshadowed his many subsequent contributions to applied science. These include the telephone probe, a device employing electricity for detecting the presence of-bullets in the body, for which the University of Heidelberg bestowed upon him an honorary degree at the five hundredth anniversary of its foundation; induc- tion balance and the graphophone, the last of which he invented .in 1883 jointly with C. A. Bell and S.. Taintor. Dr. Bell other outstanding achlevement. was that of. founding the National Geographic Socfety.~ He and a group of other distinguished scientists organized a small soclety for the discussion of techn! phase; of geograph: day Dr. Bell sur prised the membBers of this small group by erting that geography ‘was the most democratic of sciences, and that the task of the geographer was_only one-half compléted when he locked up his discoveries behind the padlock of technical terms. s Proposed Geographic Magisine. Dr. Bell proposed that the Geo- graphic Society be made truly na- tional by publishing an organ to be known as the National Geographic Magasine, which would carry the’so- clety’s message far. béyond the range of the spoken word. ~While accurate it should be writtén’in non-technlcal language and should ~employ - that % universal language, ‘pittures, = that clarified its.great message. 3 Gilbert Grosvenor, now president of Society, . g!lll;h’liumor:ot in‘ Londgn on to- ess ion eath w: thair “way -to » __THE EVENING .

In connection with these ac- tivities, he published “The Education of Deaf Children,” and a number of other boo which are standard works on this subject. _After taking up his residence in Washington in 1881, Dr. Bell became active in the intellectyal life of the Capital city. He helped establish ‘Science.” a weekly journal of scien- tific progress, which later beacme the official journal of the American As- goclation for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Bell was also an active promoter and experimentor in aerial locomotion. In 1881 he placed a fund at the disposal” of the late Samuel Pierpont Langley to aid the pioneer study of avaition. The Tetrahedral Kite. Dr. Bell's own studies in this fleld resulted in the tetrahedral kite, first Academy of Sciences in 1903. He succeeded by this device in support- ing in the air weights much heavier than the machine itself.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST _-Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments which he began with dead man’s ear less than fifty years ago result In a means of communi- cation for millions “of long-distance telephone conversations, daily in all parts of the world. The possibility of talking over a wire; ridiculed then as a dream by almost everybody ex- cept Bell, became during his lifetime a reality. The Bell basic patent, known in the records at Washington No/ 174,465, has been called the most valuable single-patent ever issued in the whole history of invention. There are to- day over thirteen million telephone instruments through which billions of telephone conversations are car- ried on each year. Means of communication had been 2 hobby in the Bell family long be- fore the inventor of the telephone was born. Two generations back, Alexander Bell became noted for in- venting a - system for overcoming | stammering speech, while, his son, Alexander-Melville Bell, father of the inventor of the telephone, perfected @ system of visable speech. With this heritage, the son. born in| Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, under- took similar experiments while still} a lad. He constructed an artificial ; skull of gutta-percha and India rub- ber that would pronounce several words in weird tones .when blown | into by a hand bello At the age! of sixteen he became. il his father.| a teacher of elocution and an in- structor of deaf mutes. Taught Deaf Mutes. Bell reached a crsis in his life at| the age of twenty-two when he was | threatened with tuberculosis. The | white plague caused the death of his two brothers and the Bell family mi- grated to Brantford, Canada A meeting at that time with Sir Charles Wheatstone, the English in-, ventor of the telegraph, fired the young elocutionist with ambition to invent a musical or multiple tele- | to_be a telephone. i His father, while giving a lecture in Boston, proudly mentioned the son’s success in teaching London deaf mutes. This led the Boston board of education to offer the $500 to introduce his sy newly opened school for deaf mutes. He was then twenty-four vears old and instantly became the edycational semsation of the day. He was ap- pointed a professor in Boston Uni- ity and opened his instantly suc- ul “School of Vocal Physiology.” | ut teaching interfered with his inventing. and he soon gave up all but two nupils. One of these was Mabel Hubbard, of a wealthy family. | Sh baby. It was she who later became Bell's wife. Bell spent the following three years in night work in a cellar in Salem. Mass. His moneyv needs were met by Gardiner G. Hubbard, his future father-in-law, and Thomas Sanders, ! the owner of the cellar. As he work- | ed he began to see the possibility of conveying speech over an electri- cally charged wire—the telephone. He used a dead man's ear for a trans- | mitter. “If T can make a deaf mute talk Bell had declared. T can make iron talk.” His first success came while test-| ing his instruments in his new quar- ters in Boston. Thomas A.
