Secret of the Telephone Discovery.
Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
reported to have explained in a lecture
how he came to invent the telephone al
follows:
''My father invented q symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally I invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. I went to an aurist, and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear expert
mented, and upon applying the appa-
ratus I found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations
II arrived at the conclusion that if
could make iron vibrate on dead
man S ear could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood
! thought if placed delicate piece of
steel over an electric magnet I could
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed.
1.-THE telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. It
arose from my knowledge. not Of cleo
tricity, but as teacher Of the deaf.
Had been an electrician I would not
have attempted it. Electrical World.
