HOPES TO TALK OVER OCEAN.
Or, Bell Foresees Race Between Cable
and Ether for First Word.

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, whom
science credits with having made the tele-
hone practicable, hopes and expects to
live to speak across the Atlantic ocean
by telephone DIR. Bell returned to Wash.
ington last night from New York, whence
he spoke by telephone day before yes
terday across the continent to San Fran
cisco.
Developments in the electrical sciences"
DIR. Bell said today, ARE coming rapidly,
and they have been especially marked
in connection with the telephone. short
time ago to talk across the continent
would have been considered an impos-
sibilty. The resistance of the long
mountable. The accomplishment of Mon
day has proved that land distances can
be conquered by the telephone, however
great they may be: so with the ocean also
subjugated talking even around the world
would seem to be simply a matter of con-
Meeting up properly equipped cables and
wires.
"And there is still another possible
solution to the problem of talking across
the ocean l mean talking over rather
than under the water. Wireless tele-
phony must not be lost sight Of I am
inclined to think that there will be close
race between the cable and the ether as
the medium for the first spoken word
across tho Atlantic. It. will be an inter-
csting race to watch"
