Il am aware Of the conspiracy
which exists OF the part of certain
designing republicans and certain

Legislation during this session, to
prevent the revision of the statutes,

to say most emphatically that there
will be no extra session if have to
call it.
In my biennial message to the |
fortieth general assembly l called |
the attention of the assembly to the
importance of revenue legislation
and pointed out ways by which the
revenue fund could be strengthened
without imposing any additional
burdens upon the masses. While
the session of the legislature is draw
Jag to a close, as yet nothing has
besn accomplished While it is a
disappointment to me, my record is
clear, and when the history OF the
legislature is written I will be given
credit for having at least tried to do
my duty in promoting the interests
of our people, and in protecting the
credit OF our state, notwithstanding ,
the bitter and malicious stories i
which certain newspaper CORE {

recommendations and authorize him
to name committee to revise the
statutes. He says: -,

Secret Of the Telephone Discovery.

In a recent lecture Professor Alex"
ander Graham Bell is reported to
have explained how he came to invent
the telephone as follows:
"My father invented symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally invented an apparatus by
which the vibration Of speech could
Be seen, and it turned out to be q
telephone. It occurred to me 10 make
machine that would enable one, to
hear vibrations. I went to an auriss,
and he advised me to take the. lumsn
ear as model. He supplied me with
dead mans ear, and with his ear I
experimental and upon applying tbs
apparatus I found that the dead mans
ear wrote down the vibrations.
II arrived at the conclusion that If
could:make iron vibrste on q dead
mans ear, I could make an instru.
ment more delicate which would cause
those vibrations to beheard and un.
derstoood. I thought. it 1 placed .
delicate piece Of steel over an electric
magnet could get a vibration. and
thus the telephone WAS completed.
"The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. It
arose from NY knowledge, not ef eleo.
tricity, bat as teacher OF the deaf.
Had been an electrician / would not
have attempted it.'''-Eiectrical World.
