Erward Bellamy's Scheme Realized In
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-Patients
in their cots at the Samaritan hospital
have listened by telephone to a sermon
in the Grace Baptist Temple, more than
a mile away 1t was the first practical
application of the telephone for this
purpose. The apparatus in the tenn
pie consisted of five megaphones sus-
pended from wires with the larger
ends reaching the pulpit and the
preacher, The smaller ends We're
closed and connected in the ordinary
transmitters. The wires ran to the
hospital and We're there branched into
so telephone receivers, one for each
patient and nurse. SO pleased We're
the sick persons with the experiment
that it was decided to make the mo
walton a permanent affair.
