EEL HAD EARLY STRUGGLES
Inventor Of Telephone Experienced
Common Fate ct Pioneers in
His Early Manhcod.

Next to the reaping machine, which
drove famine from the world, Amer.
ica's greatest gift to modern civil
zation has been the telephone. The
name of its inventor, DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell, win live down the ages
after al bur two or three present-day
Americans have been forgotten.
Unlike most famous inventors. Doc
tor Bell did not spring from obscurity
and poverty. His father was scholar
and scientist of note. and young Ben
received a ripe education. But he did
not escape the common fate of inven.
tors and pioneers. His struggles with
poverty came In early manhood in
stead of in boyhood. And they were
struggles as trying and as protracted
as fall to the lot of few men. At ono
time, while lighting to establish his
ridiculed "toy" as an article OF genu.
inc Use, he was reduced TO the ex-
tremity Of borrowing occasional half
dollars for a meal, sharing this lot
with his dynamic colleague, Theodore
n. Ylil.
The world nrSt learned or the tele-
phone at the Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia in 1876. On January 20
Of that year a young college professor
OF Salem, Mass, Alexander Graham
Bell, had executed specifications aud
a claim for an invention embodying an
Improvement in telegraphy. which IN
reality was q telephone, and on Fehru-
airy II his application for the Amer
lean pc ent was filed at Washington.
The first telephone message Of
which there is record was this: ''Mr.
Watson, come here. / want you" II
was sent on March 10, 1876. by the in
ventor from the top floor Of Boston
boarding house 60 colleague, Thomas
A. Watson, In room below. Watson
heard every word and rushed TO APP
prise Bell of the fact. Almost 40 years
later, on January 10, 1915, Doctor Bell
sent this same message to Mr.. Wat
son, only this time Bell was in New
York and Watson in San Francisco.

PEKlNG SEES DEVIL DANCE
Ceremony Instituted During the Using
Dynasty More Than 200 Years
Ago, Enacted by Priests.

Peking recently witnessed the cere-
mony instituted during the Using
dynasty, over 200 years ago, known as
the "deyil dance" 1t took place in the
Lama temple, and was witnessed by
several thousand deyout Buddhist
worshipers, says East and West.
Eighty priests danced in groups, vary
ing in number from two to twenty.
All the celebrants wore gorgeously EN-.
broidered silk robes and masks repre-
senting animals. Conspicuous were
heads of tigers, oxen, sheep and deer.
The dance ended at two o'clock in the
afternoon, when procession of the
priests formed and proceeded to the
east gate Of the temple grounds, where
the paper effigy of a nude woman was
burned.
The legend which the ceremony COM
memorates is that the devil, in form
of q woman, ran about the country,
casting spells and working mischief tc
crops, animals and humans. Attempts
to catch her were futile until the Bud
dha sent a charmed horse to run her
down. The animal overlook the flee
ing woman after q race of 10000 Ii.
seized her in his teeth, brought her tc
q place Of punishment where she was
publicly destroyed by fire. The female
figure is not alike on all occasions;
sometimes an old bag is represented.
but generally the woman is young and
comedy, as being more dangerous to
mankind.
The ceremonial recalls to those who
have travelled in Mohammedan coun'
tries the religious feryor Of the "danc'
ing deryishes."
