was the reply. 1.-THE invention was

sound in connection with the human
voice. | might perhaps say that It's
birthplace dated still farther back My
fathers life was devoted to the study
Of vocal sounds lie was an authority
on voice culture and also the inventor
Of visible speech, an alphabet In which
the actions Of the organs Of the mouth
In producing speech are symbolized
By this invention the sounds OF any
language may be expressed, and by II
a large number OF deaf people are
taught to speak Even back OF that

AS I think OF It in that way, ] can
mark several interesting stages which
now seem to point to the telephone

self TO IT'S training with that life work

study OF the voice and the transmits
sion of sound. That ambition was
given up on account Of my health and
for the same reason father brought me
TO Canada, where we purchased a
farm. This migration now seems al

fact that my trained voice was more
easily heard than his unframed one,
and that his hearing, sharpened by the
necessities Of a noisy Workshop. was
better than mine This experiment
however. showed me that the telephone
could be made success, and | at once
applied for my patents
THE TROUBLES OF SUCCESS,
How did your friends view the in
yention2"
orhe most Of them laughed at It,"
said DR.. Bell. They considered 1t toy
at best, and, even after II was proved
a success In the transmission Of sound,
some told me 1 was foolish to devote
myself 10 thing that could never be OF
practical value. while / had chance
| OF making fortune II | kept at my
work In mutipleX biography
did you have much trouble in pro-
/ tectng your inYention2'
Yes" replied DR.. Bell, AS soon as
| It's practical advantages were under
stood claims 10 a prior invention OF the
| same thing sprang up on all sides. Hair
| "a dozen electricians came forth, each
/ announcing himself as the original in
1 ventor, and claims and interferences
| were filed against my patent. one
| newspaper report alleged that | had
| paid an examiner OF the patent office
| 500 to Illegally secure my patent, hav-
| ing stolen the idea from prior claims,
| and a mark was made on the hall floor
| OF the interior department, where u
| was said the clerk stood when he made
| the alleged bargain with me. This story
seems an the more ridiculous now when
| remember how scarce 500 bills were
with me i'm those days"
WHY THE STORY OF INVENTION
WAS NOT TOLD.
How could you reply TO such nt'
tacks2' | asked,
'"That was one Of the worst features
OF the trouble said Or. Bell, was
instructed by my lawyers not to say
anything about my invention, to bear
