[ w THOS. AWAIT SON
HELLO, FRISCO
The Telephone Carries Speech From
the Empire State to the Golden
Gate and Bell and Watson
Talk Across The
Continent

Less than forty years ago, Alexander
Graham Bell, standing in little attic
at No. 3 Exeter Place, Boston, sent
through crude telephone, his own in
vention, the first spoken words ever car,
ried over wire, and the words were
heard and understood by his associate,
Thomas A. Watson, who was at the re-
ceiver in an adjacent room. On that
day, March 10th, 1876, the telephone
was born, and the first message went
over the only telephone line in the
world-a line less than hundred feet
long. The world moves a long way
ahead in the span of one mans life.
On Monday afternoon, January 25th,
this same Alexander Graham Bell, sit
ting in the Offices of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company, at
New York, talked to this same Thorn
as A. Watson in San Francisco, over a
wire stretching 3,400 miles across the
continent and part of system that
includes 100000 telephones, connect
ed by 21,000,000 miles of wires.
In that same memorable year Of
1876, Dom Pedro de Alcantara, EN-
peror of Brazil, visiting the first tele-
phone exhibition at our first great ma
tional show, the Philadelphia Centenni-
al, picked up the receiver, listened as
Professor Bell talked at the other end
of the room, and, amazed at the won
der of the thing, cried out: MY Cod
it speaks" Had Dom Pedro lived to
see the Pan-American Exposition he
could have heard Professor Bell talk
ing to him, not merely from the
other end of a room, but from the
other side of a continent.
The Pan-American Exposition itself,
planned to celebrate the completion Of
the Panama Canal and the joining of
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, will
mark still closer welding of the
East and West. When its gates are
thrown open on February Doth, San
Francisco will not only be nearer to
New York through a shortening of
Its water ways, but will be in con.
slant and instantaneous touch with it
through the medium of speech. 1t
Is curious fact, too, that this second
great feat of engineering, this other
canal, this even more intimate con.
nection between the two seaboards,
has been completed In the same year.
A Date to Remember
Monday, January %, 1915, has taken
its place among the momentous dates
in the annals of science and human
progress. On that day, in the presence
of groups of prominent men on either
coast, the Transcontinental telephone
wires were given their first public test,
and the completion OF the line was
formally celebrated. Distinguished

made out of nothing. More than that,

transmitting speech the length of q

telephony, but it was enough. The

fully appreciated by those only who
know the difficulties to be overcome
by the telephone engineer and the
subtlety and delicacy of the forces
with which he has to deal The very
minuteness of things makes his task
herculean. Instead of having to fig
ure on immense weights and masses,
he is baff1ed by infinitesimally small
fractions. His energies are devoted
to conservation, and conservation of
the most intense kind
In effect, the voyage of the voice
across the continent is instantaneous:
If its speed could be accurately meas
ured a fifteenth of a second would
probably be nearly exact. In other
words, message flying across the
continent on the new Transcontinental
Line, travels, not at the rate of 1850
feet per second, which Is the old stage

men in the offices of the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company in San
Francisco cOnversed freely with dis
tinguished men on the Atlantic sea-
board, and one more great chapter
in the history of telephony was finish
ed as Bell, sitting in the offices of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Company in New York, talked to Wat
son across a continent.
There was no hitch in the pro-
gramme, or any doubt as to the i'm
mediate success and practicability of
the new line. Those who talked over
the telephone did not raise their
voices above the usual conversational
pitch, and the replies came back from
across the continent, clear and instan-
taneous. There was no more effort,
delay or indistinctness than in talking
across a table. Professor Bell says
that he thought out the telephone in
Salem. A fitting place for it's con-
ception-there is witchcraft in it, and
the most blase of business men in
the Offices of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company on Monday
felt something akin to uncanniness at
the thought that his voice had gone
across thirteen states, shot over prai-
ries and through forests, hurtled
through cities, climbed the Rockies,
skinned across the desert and reach
ed the Pacific coast and the answer
had come back to him in an eye-wink.
In the Space of a Lifetime
Most wonderful of all, perhaps, In
the minds of those present at the
opening of the new line was the fact
that this achievement, the browning
glory of so vast and complex a sys-
tenn, had taken place within the space
of mans lifetime. On March 10th,
1876, Professor Bell working away at
the simple telephone he had invented,
called to his comrade, "Mr. Watson,
come here, l want you," and Watson
heard that first of all telephone mes,
sages over the wire. In New York on
January 25th, 1915, the same voice
was talking and, in San Francisco, the
same ear was listening, as on that
spring day thirty-eight years ago, but
under what different conditions! Then
the struggling young inventor and
his associate had just succeeded in pro-
during the only telephone in the world
and in talking over few feet of wire.
Ahead Of them were years of ridicule
for their invention, Indifference to
their plans and opposition to their eff.
forts. On this other great day they
saw their simple contrivance as part
of a vast system joining together the
country's greatest and most distant cit
les and serving the uses of 10000, 900
people. Not many men have seen so
great a fulfilment of their early am.
billions, no other invention has ever
taken so great a stride in so brief a
time.
1t has been tremendous stride, for
when Bell invented that first feeble re.
ceiver It was the beginning of tele.
phones. There had been nothing like II
