BELL, INVENTOR OF TELEPHONE, DIES (Continued from First Page). cept Bell, became Auring his lifetime | a reality commonplace and marvelous. | The Bell basic patent, known in the records at Washington as No, 174,450, has been called the most valuable single patent ever issued in| the whole history of fnvention. There are today over thirteen million tele- phone instruments through which billions of telephone conversations are A Family Hobby. Means of communication had been a hobby in the Bell family long before the Inventor of the telephone was born. Two generations back, Alexan- der Bell became noted for inventing 1 system for overcoming stammering speech, while, his son, Alexander Mel- | ville Bell, father of the inventor of | the telephone, perfected a system of | visible speech | Born in Scotland. : With this heritage, the son, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, un-| lertook similar experiments while still a lad. He constructed an arti-| ficlal skull of gutta-percha and India | rubber that would pronounce several | words in weird tones, when blown into | by a hand bellows. At the age of 16 he became, like his father, a teacher of elocution, and an {instructor of | mutes, [ Bell reached a crisis in his life at| the age of 22, when he was threat-| ened with tuberculosis. The white| plague cansed the death of his two brothers and the Bell family migrat-| ed to Brantford, Canada. | A meeting at that time with Sir (harles Wheatstona, the English in- ventor of the telegraph, fired the| young elocutionist with ambition to invent a musical, or multiple, tele- graph, which eventually turned out to be a telephone. Offercd $500 In Boston. His father while giving a lecture in Poston, proudly mentioned the son's in teaching London deaf mutes. This led the Boston Board of Education to offer the younger Bell 3500 to introduce his system in the| newly opened school for deaf mutes, | He was then 24 vears old, and instant- 1y became the educational sensation of the day. He was appointed a profes- | sor in Boston University, and opened | his instantly successful ‘‘School of Vocal Physiology." But teaching interfered with his in- | venting, and he soon gave up all but| two pupils. One of these was Mabel Hubbard, of a wealthy family. She had lost her hearing and speech in an attack of scarlet fever while a baby. it was she who after becamec Bell's wife. Worked In Cellar. Bell spent the following three years | in night work in a cellar in Salem, Mass. His money-needs were met by Gardiner G. Hubbard, his future fath- er-in-law, -and Thomas Sanders, the owner of the cellar. As he worked he hegan to see the possibility of convey- ‘ ing speech over an electrically charged | wire—the telephone. He used a dead man's ear for transmitter. | “If T can make a deaf mute talk, | Bell declared, “T can make fron talk.” | His First Success. . His first success came while testing his instruments fn his new quarters | in Boston Thomas A. Watson, Bell's| assistant, had struck a clock spring at | one end of the.wire, and Rell was| clectrifiel to hear the sound in an-| cther room. For forty weeks the in- | strument struggled, as it were, for hu- | man speech. Then on March 10, | 1576, Watson hecame almost insane with joy when he heard over the wire Eell's volce saving: . “Mr. Watson, come here, T you."” want Got Patent at 29. | On his 29th birthday, Bell received | his patent It was at the Centennfal Fxposition held at Philadelphia, two | work appealed to him. | made a stir.

Handy boxes of twelve tablets cost few cents. Druggists also seil bottles of 24 and 100. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Mono- aceticacidester of Salicylicacid months later, where men of sclence the world over who had come to ex- amine and study the numerous inven- tions exhibited, saw Prof. Bell give a practical demonstration of the trans- mission of the human voice by elec- tricity. Starts For Philadelphia As for Bell himself, he had not planned to attend the centennial at all. He was poor and he had re-or- ganized his classes in vocal speech Toward the end of June he went to the station to see Miss Hubbard off for Philadelphia. There had been some talk of his going, but he had put it quietly aside. She believed he was going; when they reached the station she pleaded with him and was refused. As he put her aboard the train and it moved out, leaving him on the platform, she burst out cry- ing. Bell dashed after her and sprang aboard the train, without baggage, ticket or any other trifles. Success at Last The next Sunday afternoon, Bell was promised an inspection of his in- vention by the judges of exhibits. It was a hot day and the judges had seen a great deal. Some of them were for going home; one jeered, and there waB® a general boredom. Then there appeared the blonde-headed em- peror of Brazil, with outstretched hands. He had heard some of Bell's lectures on Boston; the deaf-mute His greeting Bell made ready for his demonstration. A wire ‘had been strung the length of the room. Bell took the transmitter; Dom Pedro placed the receiver to his ear. He started up amamzed “My God—it talks!" Afterward Lord Kelvin—plain Wil- lfam Thompson, then took up the re- ceiver, eH was the engineer of the first Atlantic cable He nodded his head solemnly as he got up. “It does speak,” he sald emphatic- ally, "It is the most wonderful thing T have seen in America.” The judges took turns talking and listening until 10 that night. Next morning the telephone was brought to the judges’ pavilion. Tt was mobh bed by scientists the remainder of the summer. ! Given Many Honors, The distinguished inventor was the recipiznt of many honors in this coun- try and abroad. The French govern- ment, ever quick to recognize science, conferred on him the decoration of the Legion of Honor, the Freach Academy bestowed on him its valuable Volta prize of £0,000 francs, the So- 40 inch CREPE DE CHINE all colors, $1.79 val $1.19 40 inch GEORGETTE all colors, $1.79 val. $1.19 SILK PONGEE $1.50 value CHARMEUSE $2.50 value $1.69 40 inch All CANTON CR value $2.9 99¢ 40 inch’ 36 inch $1.89 valu 40 in.

D, K One of the curious things about the invention of the telephone is that Bell | knew almost nothing about electric ity when he started, He knew a great deal about acoustics, though, and the formation of the human organs of speech and hearing. Bell was called to Washington once when he was in the slough of despond and took the opportunity to call on Prof, Joseph Henry, who knew as much ahout elec- tricity and the telegraph as any man then allve. Henry told him he had the garm of a great inventfon. “But,” sald Beil, “I have not got the electrical knowledge that {s nec- essary." “'Get 1t,” sald Henry. Rell did get some of {t-—enough “Had T known more about elec- tricity and lees about sound," he said, “T would never have invented the tele- phone." . Other Inventions, While Dr. Bell will he best remem- bered as the inventor of the telephone, a claim that has been gustained through many legal contests, he alsc became noted for othed inventions. He was joint inventor of the grapha- phone with Sumner Taintor. He in- vented an ingenious method of lith- ography, a photophone, and an in- duction balance. He invented a tele- phone probe which he used to locate the bullet that killed President Gar- Seld. He spent 15 years and over $£200,000 in testing his famous tetra- hedral kite, and established a prin- ciple in architecture, the use of tetra- hedral cells or units, Gave $250,000 For Deaf. Throughout his life, Dr. Bell main- tained his interest and lahors for deaf- mutes. He founded, became president and contributed $250,000 to the Amer- ican Association to Promote Teach- ing of Speech to the Deaf. He was a member of many of the leading Amer- ican learned societies. Labhoratories at Cape Breton Dr. Bell's laboratories have been located since 1886 near Baddeck, Cape Breton. There for many years he conducted research and experiment in aerfal locomotion and other scientific subjects and maintained his private museum showing the development of his greatest inventions. He encour- aged Samuel P. Langley to invent the first ilying machine and declared after witnessing its flight at Quantico, Va., in 1596, that the age of the airplane was at hand, although Langley's ma- chine was destroyed Dr. Bell formed in 1907 the Aerial Experiment association with head- quarters in Cape Breton and its oh- ject to learn to fly. It is claimed that 1t was with the machines developed by that association that the first real- ly successful public flights o air- planes in America were made. Invented Fast Boat In the world war, Dr. Bell and F. W. Baldwin invented a hoat called a hydrodrome which developed a speed of 70 miles an hour and was called the fastest in the world. It used an airplane propeller and carried be- neath it, a series of planes which lift ed its main body ahove the water as its speed increased. It was intended for submarine chasing and scouting but the armistice prevented its use for those purposes. MUST CHA E PLANS. The building commission at a meet- ing held last night, discussed the Horwitz matter According to the building inspector, a structure Hor- witz is erecting at the corner of Pleas- and and Fairview street is violation of the ecity ordinance. The owner maintains that to discontinue the work would entail a loss of money. It was decided that certain changes be made in the plans, and the contractor be permitted to go on with the work A lightning flash in no case lasts more than the hundredth part of a second.

BROOKLYN, OF IMITATION PRAISE AND RAISE AROUND GITY HALL Increases in Salaries Are Recom- mended for Several Employes of the board of public works fared pretty well in their peti- tlons for increases in salary, when the salary committee of the common council met last night. A stenograph- er was advanced, $200 a year, because in the mind of the chairman of the public works board she merited an in- crease for her efficent work., One other woman was favored with a rec- ommendation, that her salary be in- creaged from 8520 to $1,000 a year. The position for which she is paid the $520 {s only a part time affair, Un- der the new scale, the woman will be required to work full tme, Councilman Burton C. Morey, pre- slded at last night's meeting. Other members of the committee in atten- dance were Councilmen Otto 8chmarr, Michael F. King, Clifford ‘Hellberg, C. Adrian Carlson ad A. G. Crusherg. Crowe Does Praising. Chairman Thomas W. Crowe of the board of public works appeared before the committee and urged that Miss Florence Caufield, stenographer in the department office, be granted an in- crease from $1,000 to $1,200 a year. According to Councilman Carlson, many girls are not receiving $1,000 a years in other offices. The committee voted to recommend the increase petitioned for by Miss Cau- fleld. Mr. Crowe also spoke favorably for an increase of $200 a year for Clifford Faulkner and J. L. Conley. The committee voted to recommend the increase to the common council. One Clerk Turned Down. A discussion was held in regard to the petitions for increase of Miss May Stuffer and Miss Dorothy Loomis, of the tax collector's office force. In jhe case of Miss Loomis it was explained she has been filling a temporary berth at a salary of 8520, Under the rec- ommendation for an increase to $1,- 000 there is the provision providing full time service. The application of Miss Stauffer, for an increase from $1,300 to $1,800 was rejected, on a motlon by Councilman King. Another Investigation On Councilmen Morey and Hellberg were named a committee to investi- gate how much time Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney William M. Green- decline work.” says of such men: salary || stein puts in police court. This was brought about after Councilman Hell- berg had brought up the matter of a reduction in the salary of the office from $1,000 to $600, as agreed on at the time Mr. Greensteln accepted the position, In talking on the matter, Counell- man Morey sald that the assistant prosecutor {8 unable to defend cases in police court, and for this reason he loses money. Councilman Hellberg brought up the matter, he sald, for a general discussion. It was voted to hold another meeting on Wednesday, August 16, at which time a report will probably be made on the matter, PATENTS ISSUED TO CONN.
