The Tipton advertiser. [volume] (Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa) 1856-1962, 1877-02-08

The newly-discovered science Of
telephony or talking bv telegraph.
which hes created so much interest
, among scientist and practical cleo
tricians of late. has made rapid strides
within the last few weeks in the
hands Of the inventor, Professor Bell
and his assistant The latest improve
ments enable then to dispense with
batteries altogether, and use perma-
nent magnets, the electric wave used
! i'm transmitting the sounds being gem
Grated by the voice itself. The inn
portance of this adva Ice Is evident TO
any one with even the slightest
knowledge of telegraphy, as the
expense Of keeping batteries in order
has been the great drawback to the
employment of the wire for private
purposes BY this latest discovery
only The first cost of constructing the
line and putting in the instruments Is
necessary, and once established, the
apparatus is virtually a permanency.
| In recent series of experiments with
| this invention an artificial resistance
much greater than an equivalent of
the length of the transatlantic cable
was introduced, and the articulation
of every word was perfectly transmit
ted, so that the inventors hope to soon
be able to actually talk through the
cable Al the experiment in the city
not long ago two of the japanese
students in this country, Messrs. Isawa !
and Mori, talked with each other |
over the wire in their native tongue, I
TO the great enjoyment of the expert /
mentors and themselves. A series of |
experiments were conducted yester-
day over the wire between this city |
and Salem, the party at this end of
the line consisting of Professor Bell,
Messrs Nutting, G. II, Foster, VIII
riam Aud and j. b. Parker, Treasur-
er of the Eastern Railroad. At the
Salem end Mr. Watson was assisted
by Miss. Webb, the operator, and the
experiment was perfectly satisfactory,
not only every word of the conversa-
ton but the very tones and inflec-
tons of the several voices being
accurately transmitted and readily
recognized by those at the other end
of the line. With such advances as
the system has made Of late, there
would seem to be no limit to the uses
to which it may be put, and the practi-
cal advantages likely to result from it.
