biliry the world entered upon a new era
of invention, and the solution of the
problems of rapid tele5raphy and the
transmission of pictures by wire will
be two of the great inventions that will
make the dawn OF the twentieth CEN
fury memorable.
Let TO word of mine be taken to i'm
ply that these results have not yet been
attained. OF course there can be no
question but hat there are already ma
chimes that make rapid biography pos
sible, and there 3re already instru-
ments by means CT which pictures and
drawings of all kinds may be trans
mitted long distances
shown beyond question hat wireless
t~elegraphy is possible and experiments
in wireless telephony AVE by nc means
been devoid of result.
At the present 11me, however, these
inventions are more or less in the ex-
perimenta1 stage. The result promis-
ing as they are can scarcely be re-
garded as more than successful trials
of the new inventions, and it will re-
main for the twentieth century to wit
ness the development that viii make
them of i~ncalculable value to the world.
There is every p~robabiTE that these
results will soon be reaIz6d, but, how
ever soon they may be arEaned, it will
be impossible to rob the nineteenth cen
fury of the credit for having given
birth to the ideas that will result in
such wonderful achievements.

PROGRESS OF
TIE CENTURY.
By Malcolm J. Richards, Phi. b.

When one gives a moment to the con-
templatiOn Of the wonders that nave
been achieved by human inventors dur
ing the hundred years that have con-
titute the nineteenth century,, the
mind naturally reverts to the telephone
and telegraph, for, of all the inventions
the world. The progress in the matter
but how much greater has been the IN
crease in the speed in thought!
One hundred years age the means OF
communication between persons was
limited to the crudest form of mail SER
vented until the year 1910, when Row
land Hill introduced that system IN
England, and prior to that time the
practically to restrict letter writing.
Suddenly, however, man discovered
that there were wonderful uses to which
electricity could be put, and from that
day the art of communication has pro-
gressed by leaps and bounds.
It was in 1887 that Morse gave his
first model of the present-day tele-
graph instrument to the world. It was
a clumsy affair enough. The electro
agnets used in it's operation weighed
more than one hundred and eighty
pounds, the inventor being under the
de1usion that the wire used in winding
them must be of the same size as that
of the line itself.
The story of the ~iff1cultie that be-
set Morse in his efforts to persuade
Congress to appropriate $4,000 to en-

able him to construct a trial line is a
matter of national history. People
laughed at the Invention and they de-
elared the inventor crazy.
The idea that space could be annihil-
ated in Sucn d way was too preposUer-
Gus to be credited for ar instant. In
spite OF ali these acknowledgements,
however, the inventor persevered in his
work, and in 1874 the first message,
what hath God % was
flashed over the wire from Baltimore
to Washington. The inventor had
triu1nphed and this advancement of the
human race was made possible.
THE TELEGRAPH.
Although the first telegraph instru-
ment was comparatively speaking, a
success, the present fne-wired, COM
pact and portable electromagnetic,
weighing less than a pound, had not
been Of. When the first line
was opened Il was With & primitive sys-
tenn of combined ircuits but in 1916
the idea OF eEO4 circuits and relays
began to be Developed.
Some idea of the immense growth Of
the Geographic industry during the
past half century can be gathered from
the fact that TIE receipts of the first
line for the year 1916 were $4,2z3. II,
whereas to-day the Western Union
Company alone does a business of some
twenty-three million dollars annually,
and the Postal Company does nearly as
much, this representing q business of
more than one hundred million mes
SageS.
The success of this effort to COM
municate from one end of the continent

to the other suggested endless posi-
biIitieS to the minds of the inventors.
Opposite shores of the same land had
been brought near together, but there
was the water that separated the lands.
Poles could -o+ he planted OF lie
waves, and for a time this fact proved
an effectual barrier to the advancement
of the science.
The thought thai poles might pos
sIbly be dispensed with and that insu-
lated wire might be laid along the floor
of the ocean was slow in suggesting
itself, but finally it did come. In 1851 a
submarine cable was laid from Dover
to Calais
1t was at this time that Cyrus Field
evolved the idea that has given US the
great ocean cable system of to-day.
eff thirty miles can be bridged in this
manner he asked, why not the width
OF the Alantic?" AT first the idea was
regarded as an idle dream, but Field
was eloquent and i'll 1857 the cable had
been laid from Newfoundland to Ire
land. 1t was the beginning of the
greatest of modern achievements, for
to-day scores oftheSe cables stretch for
tens of thousands Of miles under the
oceans of all hemisDheres.
