o(0 as originally stated. nearly $780,
900 for his recent invention Of sys-
tenn by which an ocean telephone Is
made possible. This is in addition to
the annual royalty Of $4,000 year
during the life Of the patents,
"The Bell company has tested the
invention for six months" ne said.
"and express themselves as perfectly
satisfied with it. The question Of an
ocean telephone is solved from scien-
tiic standpoint and there now remains
only the commercial question.
There is no doubt that as soon as
the financial part Of The matter is set
tied it will be perfectly possible to tele-
phone to San Francisco and London
and to send cable messages to Europe
at far less cost than at present"
Briefly" the professor added. "the
question had been to overcome resist

line has so many obstacles 10 battle
with that it is comparatively slow in
travelling and becomes very weak be-
fore it reaches its destination, 5000
miles away"
His invention, when applied 10 land
