possibly produce those epidemic diseases which have been

journalists predicted the destruction of the earth by
comet and great alarm caused in consequence but
such fears are utterly without foundation. 4

WHO INVENTED THE ELECTRO MAGNETIC
TELEGRAPH!

To the Editor of The NJ Y Tribune.
SIR: To say that Mr.. Morse is the inventor OF the
electromagnetic Telegraph, as msty papers do say is
about az ridiculous would be to call Mr.. Hoe the
original inventor of the modern printing mzchne, or
Peter Sch offer Instead Of Gutenberg the inventor Of
the printing press. Patriotism is all very well, but to
fssfy historical facts for the qualification of natons
vanity is not 20 well Mr.. Morse has mProged an in
venton which, before him. existed not only in theory
but had been successfully put in operation. Tae Dane
Oersted is TIE dscoverer of eectromssnetsm, or he
ct least, was the first TO find it's scientific aws 1879.
Its application for telearephc purposes WAS first sug
gested by Professors Lchebberg and Gsuss the cels
brated mathematician at Gottirgen. An electro mag
netic telegraph connecting the Observatory at Gottin
gen with believe the University or some other pub
lie building, was constructed by them as early as 1888
that is to say, at time when Mr.. Morse had scacsy
begun to think Of elsgraphipg and nearly ten years
before bis invention WAS tried. These are fscts and
abou. acs there be, at least ought to be, no
dispute all national feelings or national egotism not
withstan ling. The inventions of Wheststone in Eo-
gland and Steichei at Munich were simultaneous With
and independent Of the invention Of MIR. More. r.
