A Peculiar Incident That Led to the In
ventlon Of the Telephone.

ffntiou u tnr Ati'Fh'hr@
1t Is not common knowledge, except
10 those familiar with electrical and
telephone history. that the first telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, and
that the inventor, DR.. 5. ID. Cushman,
Is now resident q Chicago. His Offices
are in the Stock Exchange building.
Here the venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines in this part Of
the far west" pursues his business
with more alcrtness in affairs than the
average young man.
In corner of the room is a large,
worn piece Of muslin, ON which is
painted in thin color a representation Of
a telegraph line stretching away in the
distance, connected with a crude instru-
ment set on two logs, near which frog
is sitting by a stream This old relic
represents the telegraph line Of good
cedar posts which DR.. Cushman con
structed west from Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning
arrester which led TO his discovery.
Ii is a 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
mittcr, constructed in 1851, 25 years be-
fore the Bell patents were taken out. 1t
is small, square box. with speaking
orifice and containing a mechanism on
the same principle as that of the modern
transmitter.
In 1851 DR.. Cushman undertook the
construction Of lightning arrester, his
object being to take the lightning that
struck the wire and run il into the
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that il would not interfere with
the light current used in telegraphing
This instrument was placed out ON the
prairie On two logs, and in order &c
know when it had operated a triple
magnet, with a sheet Of thin iron at
the poles, similar in construction TO q
modern receiver, was placed in the
corner of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument the elec
tro magnet would pull this strip Of iror
down into the range Of a permanent
magnet, which would retain it until tn.
instrumen. was inspected
A similar device was placed in th'
basement Of the building at Racine an,
connected with the other end Of the line
One day while a thunderstorm was com
ing up and DIR. Cushman was watchin.
the instrument the croakiug Of frog
was heard 10 miles away. This is tn
explanation Of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and tn
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery Of the telephone.

The remarkable extent 10 which cleo
tricity has already supplanted the old
fashioned modes Of locomotion in the
cities Of the United States is revealed in
a table Of recent statistics published by
The Street Railway Journal of the s76
American roads enumerated there are
10. 1858 miles Of electric track. only ,9l4
miles Of horse railroad and 632 miles Of
cable line These figures show how al
most completely the trolley has routed
the horse in the past three years. 50 to
define the trolley's real period Of con-
quest. In 1890 there were .. 1851 miles Of
street lines. about three-fourths Of which
were operated by horses.
However, in all. the street car lines
have never employed over lOO,0
horses. The dropping Of these equine
servants from the roads Of the principal
cities Of the Union and the cessation Of
the yearly purchase Of stock can scarce
" therefore have been the chief feature
in the reported great recent decrease in
horse values. The farmers and horse
breeders Of the country are said TO have
/ lost about S424, 900, 600 in such values in
