The telephone is an American in
v%ention, and its development is the
result of American ingenuity. Despite
the fact that it is now barely thirty
years old, it is thoroughly fastened
upon our daily life. Alexander Ora
lam Bell, it's inventor, is still a famil-
lar figure on the streets of Washing
in 1874. He completed the Invention
in 1875, patented it the next year
and il 1877 it was put into practical
commercial use. After making the
original machine Mr.. Bell then busted
himself with scientific research in
other directions, and left to other in
ventors the task of bringing the idea
up to its present state of perfection.
A half million dollars are now in
vested il this revolutionary invention
There r nearly 5000, 900 ame in
the telephone directories OF the United
States. Each man, m n child
in the country averages nearly a nun
ured talks a year over the telephone.
Enormous returns have zee realized
from thrilling Investments made years
g when the idea was in an expert
mental stage. Franchises which were
freely given away then by generous
city fathers to men looked upon as
dreamers, are now worth millions of
dollars. OF late the competition be-
tween the Bell, or trust companies,
and what is known as the "%indepen-
dent concerns, has racked and torn
cities and rural communities every
where from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc.
Telephones have turned some old
theories of business topsy-turvy. For
instance, it has bee the rule of com
merce hat the larger the business the

1t is astonishing how the telephone
really annihilates distance. Out in
Kansas a couple of ingenious farmers
have been doing some tinkering, and
now are able to talk to each other ov-
er the top strand of a barb-wire fence
that connects their two farms. A
lawyer in an Illinois town called up
the house of a client ten miles in
the country n asked is MI. Jones

he wanted was on the way to town.
Just then a voice broke in. OIL the
wire and said: Mr.. Jones just e
Mr.. Blanks down the road. Shall
1 nave her call him for your" And
in a few minutes, Jones, only three
miles away was helloing from Mrs.
Blanks q
While waiting at the exchange for

then, 1 fine you five dollars. Bring it

took its way over the talking wire.
The telephone is no respecter of
persons. We say hello to chums
or strangers or servants or diglitaries
of the highest rank. And the tink-
ling of the little bell is an insistent
summons that none can deny. We
call the busy man or lordly official
over the telephone and get him with
out a minutes delay, when that same
busy man or lordly official might re-
fuse to be talked with at all if the
call were lac in person. Curiosity
plays a large part in the game. When
the bell rings it is human nature to
van to know what it is about. Prob
ably the only individuals who may
De said to be exempt from such inquis
itiveness are the box office men at the
theaters, and the ticket sellers at rail
way stations.

No one seems to be able to orecast
the possibilities of the telephone.
Vice-President Fairbanks, when a sen
ator, was a warm advocate OF an ar
~rangement by which special delivery
letters, properly designated, should
be opened by the postmaster and read
owe the telephone to the addresse.
One of the most startling develop
ments is an arrangement which will
give a man an opportunity to sit in
his home Sunday morning Inc hear
his favorite preacher expound the
gospel. Such a contrivance was hint
ed at in Bellamy's Looking Back
ward" A trial of this d was given
in the National House of Representa-
ives recently, and members in com
mittee rooms all over the Capitol
heard plainly what was going on in
the House, the debates being taken
in an innocent looking disk on Speak
er Cannon's desk.
An effort is being made to bring the
monograph into conjunction with the
telephone. AS an instance of what
may result from this combination, the
country doctor a say nto his talk
ing machine: Have gone out to
Bill Smiths. Will return at eleven
O'Clock. Leave your name and address
and what is wanted" Every person
who calls up the number will be ans
wered by h phonograpn, which is
not liabl to lapses of memory with
which office boys are afflicted. When
the doctor returns he can turn on the
other phonograph, the receiving one,
and it will tell MIN who called up
while he was away, and what they
wanted. And there will be no mis-
takes. If his caller suffered or sneez
ed or swore gently under his breath,
a faithful reproduction of all that hap
pened will be on the record.
The automatic telephone which is
being successfully used in many plac-
es does away with the hello girl"
and substitutes a delicately arranged
electrical contrivance which makes
the connection in response to a move
melt made on the dial by the party
desiring to talk. While this device
can't gossip, and will take all the pro
family coming its way without ventur-
ing to sass back, it ant tell you
the time or where the fire IS.
Hotels now have telephones in ev-
cry room, and in some of the more
modern ones there is an instrument
in the elevator which may be used
the lift is in motion as well as
when standing still. Another appli-
has been perfected which will
enable a traveller on a train going at
high speed to talk owe the telephone
to his friends il their homes This
is accomplished by making a circuit
through a Jet of water thrown from
engine against a wire stretched
along the track. Experiments are be-
ing made In wireless telephony, and
already a conversation has been held
at a distance of eleven miles by the
of wireless telephone appara-
tus. Persist efforts are being made
to improve the long distance service.

Trouble About the Negro Vote.

It is quite conceivable that the ne- gro vote in the North may trouble the dreams of the Republican party next year, even if the disfranchisement of qualified negro voters in the South does not The sting of the Brownsville affair still rankles with colored men, and in various ways they are mani festing their determination to make President Roosevelt feel their poIiti- cal resentment. The Secretary of the Niagara Movement, Dr. Dubois, read an address at It's meeting in which he called upon the "25O, ,OO0 free black voters of the North" to use their ballots so as to defeat Theodore Roosevelt William IT Taft or any man named by the present political dictatorship" Said pr. Dubois: "Bet- ter vote for avowed enemies than false friends" He did not, however, mean to limit the alternatives to vet- ing the Republican ticket. If colored men could not support Democrats. they could still "vote with the white laboring classes" It would be sinru- lar if the Socialist election returns should be swollen by negro votes.- New York Evening Post

Way to Treat Christian Science.

We are not able at all to accept the teachings of Christian Science, but we can see that it has a respectable phil osophical basis in the ideallstic philo- sophy' that it gives just importance to the influence of the mind over the body, truth which has been neglect ed in medical practice and in the Christian church in the past; that it hes strong attraction for cer- tain class of minds which are intelli- gent but not logical and that 1t brings great comfort to those who are able to receive it's teachings and very often relief from real on fancied diseases. A movement of which these things can be said cannot be laughed out of existence. And the ludicrous fails ure of the attack upon Mrs. Eddy, and indirectly on Christian Science, should teach those who would oppose it that their efforts must be based upon a good understanding of the real char acter of the cult, and upon sound philosophical principles, as we'll as true Christian doctrines. Like this law suit, many of the frivolous and ill-considered attacks on Christian Science have done more to help it than to hinder it.-The Watchman.
