1T is one of those things which open
the eyes of all scientists"
This is what Sir William Preece said,
after seeing demonstration Of Valde-
mar Poulson's speaking telephone"
Since this epoch-making invention
Poulson has kept steadily at work, and
now, at the age of thirty, he ranks
among the most brilliant electrical en-
gineers of the day. He has discovered
principles in electro-magnetism which
have turned upside down what the
textbooks say on the subject, and
scientists everywhere follow his re-
searches with the closest attention.
Poulson Is native of Denmark, born
in Copenhagen in 1874. His early edu-
cation was received in the public schools
of that city, after which he passed
through the best European technical
schools.
One of the inventors earliest sue
cesses was in connection with the lay
ing of submarine telephone. About
four or five years ago the German gov
ernment applied to the formost scien-
lists of Germany for a submarine tele-
phone, but they were unable to produce
anything satisfactory. Poulson was
then appealed to, and succeeded in lay
ing a cable by which it was possible to
telephone under water a distance of
twenty-five miles.
The inventor owes a good deal to the
generosity of the late s. Lemvig- Fog, a
Copenhagen financier. Some years age
Mr.. Fog gave Poulson $4,000 with which
to carry on his experiments, and today
he has one of the best equipped labora-
tories in the world, in which he con-
ducts his researches, assisted by large
staff of trained engineers. For many
years Poulson has been associated with
@ nd nF1 .
Of his closest personal friends. Mr..
Peterson is possessed of a keen mechap-
ical bent and works out the theories
which the active mind of Poulson
evolves. He, too, is young, being only
81 years old.
Backed by American Capital
In the United States Poulsons name
is familiar mainly as the inventor of
the telegraphone 1t is not only the
broad commercial possibilities of this
invention which make it remarkable
achievement. 1t is the fact that it is
based upon an entirely new principle in
