the best in the country before he became
tire inventor Of the telegraph. He was the
first man ill this country To take phOLO-
graphs by the old daguerreotype meti oil
and owned the first apparatus brought
over for that purpose.
After he had perfected his teieeraphic
instruments he went abroad and was at
once recognized by the scientists and
the governments of Europe. Everyone is
familiar with the numerous decorations
of honor he received. One reason for tins
prompt recognition of his achievement
was that men had been at work in the
laboratories of Europe for many years
on the very problem he dealt with, and
his solution was too plainly satisfactory to
leave even a flaw to pick at.
There were many curious mechanisms
in existence then at various places on tie
continent for employing electricity to
convey words. One man had twenty-si Y
wires, one for each letter of the alphabet
These terminated in a tank OF water A
current OF electricity sent along one OF
the wires should decompose a drop OF
acidulated water ut the end and send up
a bubble of hydrogen. BY watching to see
which wire the bubble came from the
receiver OF the message could write down
the letter corresponding to il, and so
slowly and painfully make out his mes

1T was not long after the telegraph
line was got into practical operation till
the triple line Of dots and dashes gave
way to a single line. or course there never
was any more accuracy in three lines than
in one II one had been wrong all three
would have been equally wrong, and in
exactly the same way.

''There. too, is the pillow Invented by Mr..
Morse to lay the first line between here and
Baltimore, underground. 1t Is q very COM
piete apparatus, carrying the reel of wire
from which 1t laid the line after opening the
furrow aud then covering 1t again. The
wire was actual laid in that way out q 6 far
as the Relay House near Baltimore, when
1t was found impossible TO insulate IL sur
ficiently to make the operation practical.
Then some accident happened to tie pillow
and while 1t was laid up for repairs pole
line was got up and IL operated so success
fully that the other way was abandoned
Here Is a model of that first Lole line
1t is an awk wand looking affair, with Il
heavy wooden post in tie center and two
cross arms like double guide board at
the crossiDc of country roads. The wire was
a small copper, wrapped with cotton at a
bonnet wire factory, tie only place in the
country that could do the work. There were
no glass insulators, but at the pole tie
wire was clamped between two pieces of
wood with an insulation made by putting
IL in canvas dipped in tar. This was not
satisfactory, and the next step was to
string the wire through bottle necks fas-
tened in the poles in place of TIE canvas.
With this arrangement, when the wire
broke, it slipped out OF three or four pch.i
and was grounded" for quarter of
mile Very soon tie present glass insular
ton was hit upon and there has been little
change since except to make 1T lighter
and cheaper.

there were, of course, Some mistakes and
as q result an order was issued that the

HOW LIGHTS ARE MADE.
The Museum has not much To show the
operator of the Wheatstone system OF
telegra ply. IL has one or two pieces
OF English apparatus belonging TO the
"DiaF' Inventions. ~ -.l-t..- .,- s.-.s p.
The other exhibits include the Refs tele-
phone instrument. which has teen much
talked OF in the great fight between tele
phone inventors before the courts. For
this apparatus I was claimed tina II would
transmit speech. but ii is generally held
now that while il carried sound IL would
not carry words so as to lie distinguished
There is also Il display of inCandescent
lights, showing how they are nIa,ie and the
improvements in them: and sections Of
an Atlantic cable, showing how ii appears
ut different points, occupy an entire COM
partmeDt OF one case. The cable in the
deep-se:i portion is only about an inch in
diameter, and the insulator is not so care
fully done near the shore. where tht
cable grows TO three inches in diameter
to protect it from being broken by anchors,
fish, etc.
An interesting feature OF the exhihi-
ton is the apparatus used by Prof Henry
In showing, in the first place. the great
force that could he developed from elec-
tricity. II consists of a wooden framework,

The distance between the arms is over
six inches and the magnet is foot long.
Just below this is bar OF iron which
projects through broad, vertical slit
cut in the right hand post OF the frame and
is swung on q pivot in the slit so as to
give it little room to play up and down.
1t is over ten feet long, half an inch thick
and fcnr inches wide at the post, tapering
a little each way. 1t projects half way
across the framework, SO that the end
comes Immediately under the. magnet. On
theeDd is q hook TO hold heavy ron weight,
such as is used for testing strength Of
materials.
Inc weight being put on the hook could
be brought just witnin the field OF tile
magnet, and the power ofthe ma gnestsrnt to
lift IL and hold 1t could thus be demon
strated. The magnet was attached to
u large battery by broad strip of copper.
When Prof. Henry had shown that very
great power could be produced by mag
netism he at once applied tbs Thought to
the production of an electric motor, the
u orr ginai model of which Is shown in
another case. This was made in 1881 and
is the basis, Prof. Henry thought, OF all
the electric motors since made. There
are several! modi fications of his idea
exhibited in different pieces OF apparatus
shown in the same case.
Asa natter OF fact, Prof. Henry's claim
to having given the Iirst idea OF a III otor
does not appear to be we'll founded. That
honor rather belongs, so far as Americans
are concerned, to DIR. Franklin, in his
Electrical Wheel" briefly described
above Thishas the plan of he application
OF electricity it appears in the motor in
use Prof. Henry appears first to have
brought to motto e that there was plenty Of
power in electricity to do any work IL IL
could be rightly applied.
INVENTIONS OF THE TELEGRAPH.
Also 10 Prof. Henry is now attributed the
invention OF the telegraph instrument as
shown in the model above referred to.
This was first brought out ut the Old
AlJany academy IN 1923, nearly fifteen
years before Dir. Morse's time. A mile
of wire was carried around and around
the room and through II the current was
made to ring the bell.
Mr.. l.. N. Dickerson says OF this mecban-
ism that it contains everything necessary
for the telegraph instrument, aud nothing
that is in it can now be left out OF that
MECHANISM. Telegraphy is not possible
by any means known to man previous to
this discovery by Prof. Henry Eor by any
other means brought out since his work
was done.
But it does not require the word Of Mr..
Dickerson to show this; it is only neces-
sary TO see Prof. Henry's apparatus.
