BELL IS
HONORED YOXFORD
Saws the Germans Are Behind in the
Race of Inventors.

LONDON. May 3.-Prof. Alexander Gra-
ham Bel was given the honorary degree of
doctor of science yesterday in oxford Uni
versity in recognition of his efforts to teach
the deaf and dumb to speak, as well as
for his invention of the telephone. His
presentation was made by the dean of the
faculty of science, Prof. A. E. III. Love and
the ceremonial of comforting the degree,
which was invested with the traditional So
lemnty. greatly impressed Prof. Bell.
He returned this evening to London
where dinner was given in his honor by
the Institute of Electrical Engineers. He
met there colleagues whom he had not seen
in thirty years, when the telephone was In
its infancy. He was asked TO send the in
stitute a photograph of the original circular
of 1877. which is believed to be the only
one in existence, advising telephone COM
panies then forming in America and Eng
land against selling instruments outright to
individuals. as was contemplated, but sug-
gesting instead. central stations and gen.
orally outlining the system of telephone
operation obtaining today.
Discusses Other Inventions.
Becoming reminiscent about his other in
ventions. Prof Bell said that although
everybody knew he was the inventor of the
telephone, nobody outside a limited circle
knew him as the inventor of anything else.
He was surprised to learn that his invention
of 1880. the photophone, by means of which
speech is transmitted by beam of light, is
unknown in England, except to scientists,
although it used in Germany to estab-
lish communication between lighthouses and
the shore. This invention was due to the
discovery of the enormous electric resist
ance which slenium possessed.
He described his experiments in the
Franklin building. Washington, in connec-
tion with the discovery and his subsequent
satisfaction at finding that the beams of
electric light answered the purpose of
transmitting sound equally with sunlight.

What surprises me- however," he said.

similar forms of extremely cheap carbon
possess the same advantages as silenium.
Apparently the Germans are not aware Of
this. although 1 gave the discovery to the
world twenty-five years ago."
Prof Bell recalled with amusement how,
IN connection with the invention of the pho
tophone he was attacked for having claim
ed to have invented something which never
entered his head. He said he deposited, in
1880, In the Smithsonian Institution, a
sealed package detailing his discoveries. and
this becoming known, led to the announce
ment that he claimed to have discovered
how to see by telegraph. Numbers of people
in America and England claimed priority
of discovery, as by the way they did for
the telephone. Scientific papers In the
United States and England. as well as
newspapers, warred against him. Then he
opened the package in the Smithsonian In
stitution and showed that he never dreamed
of seeing by telegraph. The storm then sub
sided
Why He Wants Aerial Flight.
Asked what was his main hobby now,
Prof. Bell said it was aerial flight.
Speaking this subject he declared:
ASIDE from the scientific pleasure, 1t
would give me great personal joy to perfect
a flying machine. 1t has been the sad
thought of my life that neither my wife nor
mother were able to use or appreciate the
telephone. Both were deaf. The photophone
and graphophone were equally useless to
my wife, but If able to perfect flying
machine l will have done something that
my wife viii be able to appreciate and per-
haps pse."
Prof. Bell said that his earliest retiring
time was o'clock in the morning and that
when he had important work on hand he
did not go to bed for days. His usual rest
was seven hours. He said:
Il have been keeping these hours for
twenty-five years. and breaking the early
to-bed maxim has cost me neither wealth
nor health'
