TWO STYLES OF THE
EARLY TELEPHONE
Bell Discovered the Essential
Principles of Telephony
HISTORY OF INSTRUMENT
One Was Given to Cambridge Boys
Who Formed the Stove Pipe Wire
Telephone Co.-other
Still In Use.

poston November 24-(Special) --There
have inst come to light in this city two
telephones of an historical character.
one is an instrument which the inventor,
Alexander Graham Bell, himself gave TO
some Young telephone enthusiasts in
Cambridge Mass, and the other is an in
str,ment made in 1878 and stamped with
tho inscription. Bell Telephone Co.,
Mfrs. 1909 Court St., Boston" and with
tho number 'D623" This latter was one
of fine first telephones made for public
use.. In those days, as at present, each
telephone was unnumbered. Now the
number found at the top of the trans
mitter generally runs into seven nSures'
far according to the latest official esti-
uate the Bell subscribers have nearly
reached the three million mark Tele-
phone instruments connected with the
system are in use in more than 4o,0oo
cities, towns and villages in the United
States and about five billion messages
annually flash over the telephone lines
In the early days of the telephone each
instrument was marked Alphabetically,
thousand Instruments, or thereabouts. to
each letter. This places the instrument
marked D62S among the frs made by the
original Bell company. which Wds organ
lied in July, 1878, and became the Ma
tional Bell Telephone company in Mdrcn
of the following year
The older of these two new-found IN
struments has an interesting history. 1t

Professor Hook, of the college, was
superintendent of the corn display.
Seventy-five varieties of corn grown
in the college experimental station at
the county farm were on display, and

planning the growing of corn, sorting
of seed, etc, in an informal manner,
to the farmers present.
