The Telegraph

THE Morse telegraph invention fingered for
years in the hands of its starving inventor
because capitalists were indifferent or incapa-
BILE of approaching its merits.
1t was several years before Congress voted
an appropriation to allow its inventor to make
practical test of it, and burlesque bills were
offered to provide means for communicating
with the Man in the Moon, and for talking
machine between New York and New Orleans,
to aid experiments in mesmerism, and bring
about the millennium.
Hes a very good but shiftless painter, if
he would only stick to his job some one said
of Morse. "The idea of telling by little
streak of lightning what body is saying at
the other end of a wire!'
His instrument, it was said, was all very well
as mantel ornament, or for a mistress to call
her maid, but the wires couldn't cross rivers,
oceans, and deserts.
Even after the line was up between Washing
ton and Baltimore, and Silas Wright sent a
despatch to the Democratic convention at
Baltimore, declining its nomination of him to
the vice presidency, it was not accepted as
true until a committee went to Washington
and returned with the confirmation of the
report.
There was similar though less. objection
offered to the overland telegraph. Senator
Benton declared that it would be impossible
to operate it, because the Digger Indians
would cut the wires, to make hooks for
digging up the roots and beetles on which
they lived.

Ocean Cable

WHEN it was first proposed to lay cable
w from Dover to Calais, it was denounced
as mad freak" Gigantic swindle." So
little was known about it that when fisher
man hauled up the line with his trawl he
thought it new species of seaweed; Some
thought the signals were to be given by pull
ing on the wire like door bell, SO they argued
that the ocean bed was too rough and uneven
for that.
While some objected that it would kill all
the fishes, others believed that the fishes would
gnaw off the insulating gutta percha covering
and put the line out of business.
expert, ventured to press the opinion that
there never would be time calm enough, the
sea smooth enough, and wire long enough, or
a ship big enough to lay an Atlantic cable,
When after few weeks OF operation the
first Atlantic cable gave out, some declared
that it never had worked and no messages
ever had been sent, and some doubted if it ever
had been laid.

Bessemer Steel

THE SO called Bessemer process of making
L steel by injecting air blasts into molten
iron was discovered first by an American named
Kelly and known as his air boiling process.
After the iron workers had seen it done, they
still would not believe it. Some crank'I be
burning ice, next thing" they said. Some of
his customers, when they heard about it,
wrote Kelly that they wanted their iron made
either in the regular way, and not by any new
tangled method or not at ALL
When the first blast was so strong that it
melted the iron, the spectators roared with
laughter at what they called "Kelly's fire,
works, and laughed for ten years at his folly"
When Bessemer introduced his process to
the British iron makers, they too roared with
laughter at the crazy Frenchman,' and
would not allow the silly idea to be men
toned in their records.
The steel rail proposition excited only de-
rision. "Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Nonsense!"
said the railroad directors when it was pro-
posed to them. But after one road had tried
it, the steel mills could not keep up with the
orders sent in.

Early Protest Against Tea

THE introduction of tea into European
communities met with considerable
protest In Germany tea dealers were con-
sidered immoral, and many pamphlets were
published condemning the use of tea in any
form.
Tea was first brought to England from
Holland in 1906. Soon the drinking of it
became fashionable in London, and a pound
of the leaves sold for sixty shillings. Thomas
Garway was the first dealer in tea in England.
He recommended it as a cure for all disorders
and sold great quantities of it at large profit.
Records show that tea has at times been
sold in England for as much as ten pounds
sterling a pound.
