WHAT A FROGS cRoAk DID.
Peculiar Incident That Led to tho In.
ventioe OF tho Telophone.

A Peculiar Incident That Led to tho In
f. ventioe OF tho Telophone.
1t is not common knowledge, except
| to those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the first telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, and
that the inventor, DR.. s. D. Cushman,
is now resident Of Chicago. His offices
are in the Stock Exchange building.
Hero TIL. venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines in this part of
the far west" pursues his business
with moro alertness in affairs than the
average yTuns man.
IN conner Of tho DOM is q largo.
Worn pi of muslin, on which is
!. paintedd thin color q representation of
Il Telegraph line stretching away in the
ssapce, "onnected with crude instru-
>, set OH two logs, near which frog
" .Sttine' by a stream. This old relic
Afcsents the telegraph line,cf "good
Cedar posts. which DR.. Gus ,,nan con-
structod west ii I'M Racine for the Eric
and Michigan telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental ghtn;ng
arrester which led to his discovery.
1t is reminder of the days when DR..
Cushman was associated with Professor
Morse in the pioneer days Of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone trans
mitter, constructed in 1851, 20 years be-
fore the Bell patents were taken out 1t
is a small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing n mechanism OH
the Same principle as that of the modern
transmitter.
III 1851 DR.. Cushman undertook the
construction of lightning arrester, his
object being to take the lightning that
struck tho wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being SO con-
structed that it would not interfere with
the light current used in telegraphing
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie on two logs, and in order to
know when it had operated triple
magnet, with sheet of thin iron ut
the poles, similar in construction to
modern receiver" was placed in the
corner Of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument tho cleo
tro magnet would pull this strip of iron
down into the range of permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end of the line
One day while a thunderstorm was COM
ing up and DR.. Cushman was watching
the instrument the croalzing of frogs
was heard Is miles away. This is the
explanation of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and the
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery of the telephone.
DR.. Cushman is tho inventor of the
fire alarm system in uso in Chicago. His
patent Office reports, he says, would
weigh tom and contain great num-
Der of his electrical patents. Chicago

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflsmed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation csn be taken
out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
damned condition OF the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

of Woe.
GA claimants life amt all beer and
skittles, said an up town Jehu tho 9TH
er day. Nobody ever thinks of givin
poor cabby a tip, and lots of 'em seem
to take sort Of pride in never payin a
cent moro than the legal fare A man
don't haggle over Is cents i'll store, but
he will fuss over that rate card till he's
black in the face for fear he'll give mo
too much. After that they'll walk off
and stick out their chests as though they
had done good action. They calls it
bein strong minded, s'pose, and strict
ly just and all that sort O. barney
mean, calls it. More than once I've
driven we'll dressed man down town
and had him jump out and go into ono
o. them big Office buildings.
Wait, ses he. I'll be out in min
ute.
"Well, say IT'D waited till he come
out I'd DO there yet All them buildings
has two or three entrances, and no goes
in ono and slips out O. tho other.
"Why Il man should take cab down
town when he's hard up beats me- I
s'poso no can't fool tho cable car out of
nickel, but he can do me ont of q dol
lar. Some Of 'cm will get ont of cab
i'll some mysterious way when they gets
towhero they want to 20. You drive ON
to tho address they've told you, like ~
10 or IL blocks farther on, and find ycur
cab empt ] w they do it is 40 y
much for mo. 1t makes lots of noise gct
tin out of a cab when it's movin, but
they do it. Women don often beat'a
man out of his fare but they're pretty
bad about payin 'em. I'd rather take
my chances any day on bluflin man
out of moron his faro than woman.
You can't rattle woman half as easy
and she's twice as obstinate.
"Abont the only ting we get a cincl
is i'll winter when there's lots o. slusll
around. There amt any talk then about
drivin to the station house and asllil
