will only be little while before the
business man can sit comfortably in
his office and travel instantly by tele-
phone between the two cities over
tons OF copper wire.
The opening OF this line has a pc
culiar significance TO the people OF
Boston and New England, for II was
in Boston that Professor Alexander
Graham Bell invented the telephone in
1876. less than forty years ago. A

until one in every eight persons in
the United States is connected by
telephone, are Boston men. Many OF
them are living today.
Theodore n Vail. president OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, has been in the telephone
business almost from the beginning.
To-day he is perhaps the greatest con-
structive business man in the world.
John ]. Carly, chief engineer OF
the company. the master mind In
scientific telephony, was a Cambridge
boy who worked as an operator in
the early days for IS week.
Thomas ID. Lockwood, general
patent attorney OF the company, a
telephone expert for nearly forty
years, lives In Melrose.
Thomas A. Watson. the youthful
mechanic who assisted Bell in his
early experiments and who was the
firsi person in the world 10 hear tie

Braintree and In Boston.
Some Facts and Figures
AZ the present time there are two
complete physical circuits. each 3505
miles long. between the two cities.

velopment Of electrical study, In the

BY August there were 778 tele-
phones in use-all in Boston-and
four men had an absolute monopoly OF
the telephone business. A little later
Theodore N. Vail was prevailed upon
to resign from the government mail
service and become general manager
OF a little telephone company that
was hardly organized and had no
money. Month after month the lit
tie Bell company lived from hand to
mouth. No salaries were paid in
full Often, for weeks, they were
not paid at all In 1880 John j.
Carly timidly asked for job as
operator in the Boston exchange. He
showed such an aptitude for the work
that he was soon made one Of the
captains.
In 1893 Boston and New York were
talking to Chicago, Milwaukee, Pitts
burg and Washington, and one -hali
the people of the United States were
within talking distance OF each other.

be fairy tale.
Several years later the line was
pushed over the plains to Omaha, and
subsequently nearly 600 miles were
added, enabling the spoken word in
Boston to be heard in Denver.
The Boston San Francisco line will
probably not be offered for general
commercial use until the early sum
mer.
Telephone engineers have dreamed
OF the time when the wires would
span the continent. That time has
come. For the moment II seems az
though there is no other great thing
Tor which TO strive. And yet progress
In telephony in the United States Is
making such tremendous strides that
no man can prophesy the wonder

future.

On the same day the line between
Boston and San Francisco was opened
telephone conversation was estab-
lished between New York and San
Francisco. Professor Bell talked from
the New York end and his early asso-
ciate. Thomas A. Watson. from San
Francisco.
An interesting fact in connection
with the opening of this line is that
Professor Bell used at the New York
end an exact reproduction OF his first
crude instrument. At first II could
be used only few feet That that
instrument could be used in talking
between New York and San Francisco
is due to the skill and inventions OF
those engineers who followed Bell AZ
ter his retirement from the telephone
business In the perfection OF the
telephone and OF switchboards, cables
and the hundreds OF other accessors
to successful telephone transmission.
Looking Backward to the Beginning
On the evening of Oct. 9, 1876. the
first long conversation over the tele-
phone was made by Bell and Watson.
They talked for three hours over
telegraph line between Boston and
Cambridge II was the wonder OF
the day In May, 1877, Charles
town man leased two elephones-the
first money ever paid for telephone
service The same month the first
tiny and crude telephone exchange
was born with five telephones con-
nected.

1lHIS busy, progressive nation is today at
the dawn of new era OF commercial
and social development. The means by
which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications Of personality
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is now accomplished
fact.
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tifc and technical skill, transcontinental tce-
phone service, the equal OF which is not even
approached in all the other nations OF the world
1t is a splendid scientific achievement OF the
very highest character. The power that sends
the human voice out the telephone is scarcely
greater than that of a breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse, made up OF as many as 1000
separate vibrations second, can be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over a dis
lance Of 3,40o miles and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent The human
voice has been made to travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift
ness Of its fight.
The imagination can but feebly grasp. much
less attempt to measure, the far-reaching signih-
canoe Of such tremendous accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily use system of commune alton that knows

standing, the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes. The neighboIliness OF
whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
OF the physical restraints OF centuries.
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity OF more closely united people has
not been brought about however, by the over
coming of few isolated, concrete difficulties.
Its success has depended upon the exercise OF
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution was found only in the cumulative ef-
feet OF improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece Of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission OF speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department OF the Bell System Of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became a commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With no traditions to
follow and no experience to guide, this depart
ment, which is now directed by staff Of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
vestigators--the graduates of lao universities
has created an entirely new art-the art OF tele-
phony and has given to the people OF this coun-
try telephone service that has no equal
1t has required vast expenditures Of money
and immense concentration OF effort, but these
have been justified by results Of unreasonable
benefit to the public. The transeontinental tele
phone line, 34oO miles long. joining the Atlantic
and Pacific, is part OF the Bell System OF 81 100000
miles Of wire connecting 5000 900 telephone sta
tons, located everywhere throughout the United
States. Composing this system are the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and As
ISOLATED Companies and connecting companies,
giving universal service TO l0o,oo0J0o0 people.
