The year 1878 dawned dark and gloomy
enough on the struggling young inventor
to have discouraged almost any one other
than Bell After he had completed b

IN much better unison with the trans
miIIer into which words were spoken at
the other end of the circuit
Although a precisely similar conrrivance
TO the Bell receiver, as it is now generally
called, viii serve for a transmitter as
well, an improved form of trausmitter,
known as the Blake carbon transmtter,
has now been generally adopted. This
form of transmitter substitutes for the
magnet behind the iron diaphragm num-
Der of small pieces of loose carbon placed
between a carbon diaphragm and a solid
support Carbon was found 10 be prefer
able to metal on account of its peculiar
properties for transmitting sound. So de-
tcate and susceptible to sound is the car
bon transmitter that the footballs of
fly crossing the carbon disk produce
percepuble sound in the telephone.
The carbon transmitter substitutes for
the impulses of electricity, which were IN
duced in the original form of transmitter
by the action of the iron diaphragm on
the magnet, an electric current which
passes directly through the carbon dia-
phragm and the loose carbon behind it.
In this case, the vibrations of the voice
falling on the carbon disk affect the cur
rent directly. The electrical impulses are
accentuated by the motion transmitted

wire, and a series Of impulses correspond

into facsimile sounds at the receiving in
strument As electricity travels with the
velocity of light, which is much swifter
than sound. the telephone carries and de-
lvers the words spoken into it much more
swiftly than the voice unaded by the
electric current could send them.
The method described is known as the
battery system, and is in general use a
present on all lines of any great length.
In the most improved Instruments the
Blake carbon transmitter is used in con-
nectOu with the Bell receiver.

Alexander Graham Bell, the genius who
gave it scientific birth, was born in Edin-
burgh Scotland, in 1877. His father AL
exander Melville Bell, was the inventor
of what is known as "vsible speech

speak by indicating 30 them through visi-
bic characters the combinations of the
vocal chords necessary to produce ar
uculate sounds TO the lfe-v@ork of his
father young Ben decided TO devote him
self After a preparatory training he en-
tered London University in 1867, but his
health failed him and he left shortly after
ward. In 1870. in company with his par
ents he went to Canada.
Realizing that the United States offered
q broader field for the work that he had
iu view, young Bell i'm 1872 came to the
United States and settled in Boston, where
he introduced his fathers system of visi-
hle speech for the education of dear
mutes. He supported himself at first with
private classes.
First Electrical Work.
Meanwhile. and even before he left Eng
land, young Ben had commenced expert
ments in that branch of physics and cleo
tricity which embraces sound. To the
task of an inventor in this line he brought
q lifelong training for the profession of
a teacher of vocal physiology-a profess
sion involving a knowledge of how TO pro
duce and perceive aruculate sounds. The
groundwork of the system which he
taught consisted in instrucung deaf-mutos
70 recognize by sight the motions of the
organs which produce speech, and from
TINS 70 understand the meaning of spoken
words. He became an expert in sound
which embraces among it other branches
that OF harmonics. Some time before
he left Ensllud Bell. following the nat
