telephoning was made between this
city and Meadville, Pa, distance of
500 miles. The telephoning was over
the Postal Telegraph company's wires
early in the spring of 1884. The utter
ances were as audible as in previous
experiments of shorter distances.
After this successful demonstration
ten-pomt transmitter, as shown in
the third cut, was constructed, and
tests made of it's efficiency, between
this city and Chicago-a distance of
ZOO miles. The result gave the most
complete satisfaction. This is called
| the ''multipleX" system.
Mr. Glllett turned his attention to
ocean cable work, and transmitter
having twenty points, or double
header" of which there is an illustra-

Its distance capacity was believed to
be $500 miles Cable companies, how
ever, were unwilling to have the test
made, claiming that no such distance
could be spanned by telephone. Thus

oceanic telephone transmission, but it

The history of the telephone is a
record of epochs. Each epoch marks
the limitation in the power and eff
cheney of the instrument, and at the
same time the new starting-places III
its triumphal career.
The first telephone was for short
distances. After Reise. who is really
the father of the telephone. and Bell
demonstrated the possibility of the
electrical transmission of speech long
distance telephoning became the
dream of scientists and inventors
When the telephone lett the hands of
Bell it's voice was weak. The micro
phone transmitter had to be invented,
and the induction coil and other i'm
portant accessory devices had TO be
brought into requisition.
1t was only after the telephone had
attained its natural growth by assiU-
ilatin9 these necessary elements that
the higher development, tending to
make its voice stronger and far reach
ing began. At first it was a success
| siye improvement made in the trans
mitter and receivers in ordinary use
that enabled longer distance trans
| mission.
Earliest in the field of long distance
telephoning was Mr.. Gillett of Michi-
gan. Then followed Hunning of Eng
land, and after him Adar of France.
Gillett produced the only practical
long distance transmitter, Hunnlngs
requiring shaking down" at short in
tervals. and Adars being very loud
but indistinct.
Powdered carbon is the base element
o. all these telephones, and, in fact, is
the only means by which long dis
tance telephonlng can be accom-
plished. The first experiment made
by MIR. Gillett in long distance tele-
phoning was over the wires of the
Michigan Central railroad, early in
1857, from Detroit TO Jackson, seventy
miles. Up to that time the farthest
distance of transmission was twenty
miles In the first cut is shown the
instrument used on that occasion. II
is very simple in construction, con-
sisting essentially of the diaphragm
and arm supporting the cylinder filled
with powdered carbon, through which
the electric current passes.
In subsequent experiments it was
found that by placing two points or
transmitters on the same diaphragm
speech could be transmitted double the
distance with one point or transmit
ter. Having ascertained this Mr.. Gil
lett constructed 'quadrupleX," Oh
four-point transmitter. A picture OF
the instrument is shown in the second

Missouri Delegation.

A special to the Times dated Wash

The Missouri delegation are earnest

Speaker Crisp has received several

Messages of similar tenor were

In no case did the enthusiasm run
quite as high or seem quite rs ex-
uberant as in the messages from all
the fellow citizens Of Mr.. Crisp in
Georgia. From all over the state
came kilograms, every town seeming
to contribute its quota OF the general
rejoicing. From Americus, Mr. Crlsp's

tion with people in London and Paris,
and in fact any city on the contnent
This belief is strengthened by the
fact that under the direction Of the
Minister of Telegraph in Paris the Gil
lett telephone was tested on the cable
between Dover and Calais. The tick
of a watch was heard with perfect dis
tinctness. On the heels of this success
followed the recent building of the
London-Paris telephone line. 1t is
claimed that in Mr.. Gillett's instru-
ment each point of the diaphragm will
operate through 5000 miles, and that
through it's use distance will be Writ
ually eliminated.
BY the majority of electrical author
tiles it is alleged that it is impossible
to telephone across an ocean cable, not
only on account of the great distance
to be spanned, but also on account of
"retardation. 1t is asserted by Mr..
Gillett that this is not SO, and that
telephoning is as practicable over
oceanic cables as on land lines of WIRE.
While the Bell Telephone company
and the Western Union Telegraph
company are now able to control long
distance telephoning, this monopoly
will not be enjoyed after 1893, when
the Bell Telephone company's patent
lapses. After that time any one can
