An Interesting "Reminiscences OF Prof Morse
has been related by F. l. Pope in the Electrical
Engineer In connection with some remin-
iscences OF the late John Il. b. Latrobe. law
yer. engineer and inventor. OF Baltimore. who
was the legal and technical counsellor Of tho
elder Winans during tho building and tho or
aanizing Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
In the early days OF HE experiments with tho
telegraph Morse had appealed to President
Louis McLane OF the Baltimore and Ohio road
for the grant Of the right Of wny for his oxperi-
mental limo between Washington and Balti-
moro. The undertaking seemed to be so
chimerical that President McLane was per-
plexed. and. to get rid OF tho trouble. he re-
ferred the subject to Mr.. Latrobe, as q man
who might understand the scientific bearings
OF tho invention. The bill appropriating $780,
600 had been passed by Congress. and Morse
was very enthusiastic whom he described his
invention to Mr.. Latrobe In the latter's house
one evening"
Morse went over the history OF invention in
detail from tho beginning" Mr.. Latrobe once
said. with on interest and enthusiasm that

Not q small part OF what Morse said on that
