ABOUT TELEPHONE PATENTS.
When the Bell VIII Expire-A Chance fo
Every body In 1894.

When the Bell VIII Expire--A Chance for
Everybody in 1894.
BosroN, Sept. 2L-There has lately been
a report that the patent of the Bell tels-
phone will expire next year and after that
any one may manufacture and sell tele-
phones. A. E. Dolbear, professor Of phys
los at Tufts college, in reference to this
subject. says: ''The first patent on the Bell
telephone was issued in March, 1876 and
consequently expires in March, 1888. This
pacent WAS on the telephone principle. but
it was inopeEatlve, that IS, not practlcal. 90
tanned by the Bell company, which
will expire in January, 1894. This kind
was called the Magnetic telephone" and
the essential difference between the two
WAS that tho magnetic used was perma-
nent magnet wherein the first electro mag
net had been used. The first patent, that
of 1876. has been the cause of all the tele-
phone controversy, and when that expires
the field will be open to anybody to make
a tele ephone with an electro magnet. But
none can use permanent magnet until the
second patent expires. There is no patent
on the long distance telephone. which has
come to be used SO much of late. Although
anyone can make telephones in 1894. the
Bell company will still hold other patents.
notably that ON the transmitter, which will
enable it to hold most of the business.
'Patents on inventions which have only
commenced to pay we'll at the expiration of
the patent have sometimes been reissued.
but the Bell telephone has paid SO we'll
since 1877 that there is no possibility that
it's patent will be renewed. think that
quite number of people will make tele-
phones in 1894, but it will not cheaper the
service much, especially in cities, where all
the telephones are connected with the
central Office and every additional subsidy
makes 80 much additional expense. Doubt
less after the expiration of the maRnsto
patent telephone can be bought for 81 or
So. so many will be on the market. This
includes only the receiver, not the trans
mitter, as the receiver can be used equally
we'll for receiving and transmitting"
