The Wonders of the Telephone.
Mr.. TuRSBULL OF BALTIMORE, PRoposE
TO Talk THROUGH THE OCEAN CABLE
baltimore iSun.1


Mr.Wllliam C. Turnbull, of this city,
has finished a series of experiments to
test his invention of long distance tel
ephoning. He finds that the distance
at which telephoning can be practiced
with his transmitter is only limited
by the length of wire, urder favorable
conditions. He expects to get per
mission very soon to conduct series
of experiments in telephoning over
one of the Atlantic cables. London
and New York will probably be the
points between which conversations
will be attempted. A1r. Turnbull says
if the company will allow him to use
battery of sufficient strength, he has
no doubt but that he can from New
York converse in his ordinary tone Of
voice with a friend stationed in Lon
don. More than this, he says this
telephone is so pure in tone that any
one in New York could recognize a
friends voice talking to him in Lon
don. Through the same transmitter
parties in New York have recognized
the voices of friends talking to them
in Chicago. A charter for company
to use the long distance transnlitter
and receiver is now being taken out
in New Jersey: He has applied for
patents in England, Germany, France,
Belgium, Austria, Italy, Canada,
Spain, Russia. Applications will be
made in other countries also.
Mr.. Turnbull in his receivers uses
no diaphragm. Currents from other
wires in close proximity do not affect
them very much. One of the operators
at the Baltimore Telephone Exchange
has had one of Mr.. Turnbull's instru-
ments in his house between one and
two miles. from the exchange, since
last summer. His wife is delighted
with it, IS she can talk to her husband
while lying on the lounge, or from
any part of the room. A short time
since be said to his wife, What music
is that I hear?' Naming the air that
was being played. She replied, Tt is
a street band playing half a square
away from here The window was
open, and the sound came into the
room Of this dwelling where the in
strument was placed. It is said by
electricians that this new telephone
will to some extent revolutionize tele-
graphing. Mr.. Turnbull began ex-
pertinent about is months ago. He
was led to it by feeling there was need
for better telephone, and felt that
he had the power to construct the re-
quired instrument Prior to this ap-
plication and study he had given cleo
trical subjects comparativcl; little at

An Explanation.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec % |

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. %, 1885,
To the editor Of The Aleramdria Gazette
In yesterday mornings daily Republican,
OF this city, appeared an editorial upon the
subject of re.opening the aqueduct bridge
at Georgetown to travel. The editor ap-
pended letter purportins to be signed by
hon. John ). Barbour, asking the Secretary
OF War to detail an engineer to inspect the
bridge, with view to use by the public if
found safe. 10 day the Republican editori.
ally acknowledges its erroneous Use of Mr..
Barhours name in this connection. Though
the letter contains nothing Objectionable,
still full explanations have BEEN deemed
just to Mr.. Barbour
wrote the said letter, or petition, and
gave copy of it to the reporter. with the
statement that Mr.. Barbour had presented
the original to the Secretary of War, &C.
companying his act with the request that
the bridge should be opened to public travel
at the earliest day consistent No name
was appended to the copy, aud the reporter
aiterWard forgot that Mr. Barbour was not
the author of the Instruments PRAYER
being that of all who have to cross the Pc.
tomac from Virginia, naturally in the hurry
OF night work, it was assumed that Mr.. Bar
bour was the writer. 1t is fitting that I
should acknowledge publicly the services
rendered by Mr.. Barbour in obtaining for
US the long sought relief from tolls on the
aqueduct bridge. But for him no title could
have been given the government by its
owners, and to him is justly due the credit
Of free bridge. The third section of the
act of Congress authorizing the purchase OF
the aqueduct bridge carries condemnato.
ry power absolutely essential to transfer
and yet this section, as an amendment, was
forced upon TIE act through Mr.. Barbour.
In various other directions his hand has an.
peared for good. To him belongs full honor
for our freedom from onerous tolls, which
barred all immigration to our suburb-the
fairest Of Washington. R. LACEY.
