Telephone and Telegraph Company
has paid him nearly 100000 for his re-

"The question of ocean telephony is
solved from a scientific standpoint"
said Professor Pupin, ''and there now
only remains the commercial question.
There is no doubt that as soon as the
financial part of the matter is settled
1t will be perfectly possible to tele-
