THE TELEPHONE.

As the telephone. the new invention al
Prot. A. Graham Bell is but little understood
the following reprin, description and expiana-
ton OF the in>rrumen, may not be amiss
The telephone, in its present form. consists OF
powerful, compound, permanent magnet
10 the pole. Of which are attached ordinary
telegraph coils OF Insulated wire. is attached
10 diaphragm of iron. A mouth piece 10
converge tie sound upon this diaphragm
substantially completes The arrangement. The
motion OF steel or iron in front of the poles Of
magnet coates n current Of electricity IN
coils surrounding the poles Of the magnet. and
the duration of this current of electricity
comedies with the duration Of the molten of
the steel or iron moven or vibrated in the
proximity. When the human voice causes
the diaphragm TO vibrate. electrical undua
tons are induced in the coils environing the
magnets precisely analogous TO the unduation
of the air produced by that voice. These
coils are connected with the line wire, which
may be of ANY length, provided the insulation
be good The nndulations which are induced
IN these coils travel the line of wire, and
passing through the coils of an instrument of
precisely similar construction at the distant
station, are again resolved into air undula-
ton by the diaphragm of this instrument. 1t
was by this wonderfully simple instrument
that the three quarters of a column report OF
Prcf. Bells lecture was transmitted from
Salem to the Globe by the voice. All who
saw the working of the instrument was
astonished al the results obtained-BoSton
