Beginnings Of Great Things.

On July 26, 1S47, the first electric
magnetic locomotive was exhibited and
operated. The exhibition was made
in the town hall of Dover, N. H., by it's
inventor, Moses G. Farmer. 1t carried
several people, who were doubtless
the first passengers transported on a
railroad by electricity in the United
States. Farmer lectured upon the in
vention ut various Eastern points,
after which he opened a telegraph Of
flee, where he devised the well-known
fire alarm apparatus. As early as 1850
Professor Farmer predicted, among
other results, the talking exactly as
we talk today by telephone, and he
also saw the feasibility Of electric
traction by means Of the storage bat
terry and trolley system now in use. He
also invented flying machine, but
his sudden death prevented his bring
ing it before the world.
