IL this apparatus could transmit the
quality or timber Of one sound It
could be made to do the same for any
sound or any combination of sounds,
and consequently, that most complex
vibration-the sound of the human
voice.
But the real invention of the speak
ing telephone was no accident. That
dates from the mental conception of
the undulatory electric current. The
plucking of the spring that afternoon
was may call an accident, bu the man
with a clear conception in his mind
was there to grasp its meaning and
turn that accident into a great his
torical event. Apples fell before New
ton was born and cows ate them.
From that afternoon of June 2,
1875, the goal was in sight. Mr.. Bell
resigned his teaching position at Bos-
ton University, and gave all his at
tention to his experiment work
Through long and wearisome course
Of research, Mr.. Bells enthusiasm new
.er slackencd. Finally, on March 10,
1876, he succeeded in transmitting the
human voice clearly and thoroughly
over the wire.
"The apparatus was ready for a try
out in the following October, and the
use of private telegraph line be-
longing to the Walworth Manufacture
ing Company was obtained. This wire
ran from their Office in Kilby street,
Boston, to heir factory in Cambridge
port. Mass, across the Charles river,
about two miles distant. The evening
of October .. 1876, was chosen for the
test Mr. Bell took charge of the Kill

port end. On receiving the signal
agreed upon through the telegraph
instrument, ] disconnected it from the
circuit, and connected the telephone
instruments. listened for Mr.. Ben's
voice. ! could only hear the faintest
murmur reminding me of the first
sounds | heard in the early expert

For while it seemed that we were
doomed to failure on this test AS a
last resort Speed the wires and
found a l4es Distance telegraph re-
lay in the circsiit. / cut this out and
ran back to the telephone and listened.
That relay instrument had been the
sole cause of the trouble. For clearly
and distinctly from the instrument
came the sound Of Mr.. Bells voice, and
we found we could talk with perfect
ease although we were two miles
apart
We wrote down what each one said
and later comparison showed an al
most perfect accurancy OF transmits

LET'S TRY IT HERE
And IL May Save Considerable To
Several Citizens and Help
Beautlfy the City At
the Same Time.

The season is fast approaching
when the weeds will begin to grow.
And for unsightliness they are only
equaled by more weeds.
Now, this prevention of the weed
crop may be the means of saving sew
eral of our citizens afflicted with hay
fever untold suffering and big ex-
pense of having to go to some resort
to get relief until the weed season
ends.
The city authorities and all those
who can cooperate with them, should
read the following and try It once in
Maysville; it won't do any harm:
New Orleans has found a way to
eliminate hay fever. And it isn't any
new-fangled scientific process, either
It's just the plain, old-fashioned de-
vice of getting rid of weeds, which has
been preached in all American COM
munities for generations, and seldom
practiced with any degree of enthus-
iasm.
Last summer the city utilized the
services of twenty convicts to clear
out the ragweeds and other growths
whose pollen is supposed to cause hay
fever. Not only the city proper, but
all its immediate suburbs, were clean
ed up. The immediate results was, of
course, a vast improvement in the
sightliness of New Orleans land
scapes. When the hay fever season
arrived the victims we're fewer than
usual, they suffered less intensely, and
fever disappeared several weeks be-
fore it's usual time.
Hay feyerites who, with the chronic
distrust of their kind, doubt the ac-
curacy of this statement, are respect
fully referred to the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Here's a good chance for the hay
fever veterans and the city-beautiful
reformers in every weed-infested city
to get together on something worth
while
