Dangers of Publicity.

Suppose Prof. Henry had advised you to
publish your discoveries and you had done
so. DIR. Bell" said l. What would have
been the resut?' :.
II might have lost my invention and my
work would have been claimed and stolen
by others. As it was. as soon as the prac-
teal advantages of the telephone became
known there sprang up claims OF prior in
Yention on all sides. A number of we'll
known electricians appeared. each an
pouncing himself the original inventor, and
numerous claims and interferences were
filed against my patent. This is the case
with nearly every successful patent that
IS issued, and claims have been filed for
such infringements by men bearing fairly
good regulations.
Some Of the most remarkable instances
of this kind" continued DIR. Bell, were IN
reference TO a newspaper hoax which was
perpetrated by some wag few years after
the telephone had become a success II /

1850. when many new things were being

On a Busine.. Bn.is.

The Nebraska state fair management
started in a few years ago upon a reform
basis. Its new managers believed that a
state fair should be run upon a strictly
business basis; that in the conduct OF a fair
obligations were entered into with it's pa
irons for the payment Of large sums OF
money. in premiums. The operating ex-
penses also were a moral obligation upon
the association and those who represent it
and these expenses could not be met under
the free pass system that had so gener-
ously prevailed for many years. The trim-
ming down of free admissions was intro
duced and has been steadily enforced until
the free pass applies only to those whose
business interests contribute to the adj
vantage and upbuilding OF the fair.
Tho fair Of 1906 which is to commences
September and continue to the 9TH, has,

body 1t will be remembered that when
Guiteau shot the president the X-ray had
not been discovered. The surgeons probed
again and again. Other experiments were
made to find where the bullet lay, and
among them some by means of DIR. Bells
inductive balance, which had then Just
been invented. Said DR.. Bell:
My instrument consisted of a piece Of
mahogany board of about the size and
shape of 1atiron. 1t had a handle upon
the top, and its bottom was covered with a
green cloth. Inside the board was an eleo.,
trio coil, so made that when 1t was moved
over anything of a metallic substance IL
would buzz. I could take q bullet In my
hand, and having made the proper cleo
trical connections, could rub the board
over the back of my hand and the result
would be loud buzzing noise, the sound
being loudest when the coil was over tho
bullet. The instrument afterward proved
to be of great value for this purpose in
hospitals, although 1t failed In connection
with President Garfield. 1t was on ao-
count of that invention that the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg gave me the degree Of
honorary M. D."
What was the cause of the failure,
doctor?"
1T is easy to see now" was the reply,
although we did not realize 1t at the time.
We took the machine to the White House
and tried 1t upon the president with the
assistance of Surgeon General Hamilton.
We moved. 1t all over the person of the
president, and to our surprise the machine
began to buzz whenever II came near him.

Bells intimate friends, when l asked him
whether he had known Joseph Henry, the
first secretary and director OF that institu-
ton. DR.. Bell replied;

and he was kind to me. 1t. was a year or
80 before my patent. was granted, when 1
called upon him at the Smithsonian instltu-
ton and explained my ideas as to the con-
struction Of an instrument which would

also in multiplex telegraphy. and we talked
about that. Prof. Henry was man Of re-
markable ability along the lines, upon
which was working. He had made many
discoveries in electricity and In electro-dy-
namics, having constructed an electro-mag-
netic telegraph long before the invention
OF Prof Morse. He appeared much inter-
ested in my experiments and 1 determined
TO ask his advice about the apparatus
which ! had designed for the transmission
OF the human voice by means OF an electric
wire. After l had explained the idea /
asked him TO advise me whether had bet

display. guaranteeing each county a cash
premium equal to the expense of making
its exhibit. This guarantee has in some
instances raised the aggregate amount to
be paid for county collective display $500
above the regular premium offer of $4,000.
Thus It will be observed that the grain
farmer and vegetable farmer is measured
by the same premium incentive, in order
to attract his attention to the fair, that is
used by all fairs to interest the live stock
breeder in the show ring.

This year a change was made, whereby ali

may be interesting to know that Nebraska
exceeds any state in the United States by
$500 in the amount of money offered in the
one feature of county collective exhibit or
collective display by counties of farm
products, and that not to exceed three
states offer one-half the money in this

Development of Nebraska State Fair Since It's Territorial Or

state fair is held. dates back al
IzIHstl most fifty years 1t was near
- the beginning history Of Nebraska
as territory, that what is now known
as the Nebraska State Board Of Agricul-
ture was originally created by an act Of
the territorial legislature with perpetual ex-
istence, approved october II, 1858, entitled,
An act to establish Territorial Board
OF Agriculture" The bill for this act
was prepared and it's passage secured by
the efforts of Robert w. Furnas, then a
member OF the council branch Of the ter
ritorial legislature.
The provisions Of the act for the forma-
ton of board of agriculture were: That
IL should consist of sixteen members, the
term Of Office for one-half to be for one
year and one-half for two years, thus pro-
vlding for the election Of one-half of its
members each year. The board elected its
own members and officials as it does at the
present time. The act also provided that
the president of county agricultural socte-
ties thereafter organized, and in active
working existence, should be ex-officIo
