GRAHAM BELLS EXPERIMENTS

I'm patent specification of 1889 Gra-
ham Bell describes two devices" writes
DR.. Rankine in his paper. IN the first
the proposal is to allow the beam Of
light to pass in succession through two
grids consisting of equal parallel strips
alternately opaque and transparent. One
of these is fixed in position and the other
is moved bodily in = direction perpendic-

thought forged during weeks of consider

thought forged during weeks of consider
alton.
The clue led to experiment. Experiment
led to solid success.
That the success is undoubted 1 can
vouch for myself. The fact also that
the invention has been the subject of
a scientific paper read before the Physics
ociety in London and that The apparatus
has been shown at a meeting of the
Royal society," the chief scientific body
of England, is sufficient evidence of it's
Importance.
When l called to see DR.. Rankine at
University college l was shown into the
physics laboratory. The center of the
room was taken up by a strange look
ing instrument which proved to be what
has been called the "photophone."
Picture to yourself a sort of gun mount
ing, the platform of which can be ro-
tated or elevated at any angle. Instead
of a gun there is a wooden platform
shaped like V. At the end of one of
the arms is a small inclosed electric
arc light. In the center of the arm is
a circular grid On the other arm in
a corresponding is a second grid. Where
the arms join is a peculiar arrangement,
the main feature of which are trumpet,
gramaphone sound box and small
concave mirror. At the side there is
gun sight. This is the sending end. The
receiving end is simpler. A small mirror
or lens is in front of solenium cell
which, in turn, is connected with a bat
terry and telephone ear piece.
Before showing me how it worked the
inventor put the receiver in another
room and asked me to sit down and
wait. Then he closed the door and went
to the transmitter. Presently I heard
these words as clearly as il l were stand
ing by the side of the speaker: Hello,
can you hear me all right?' 1t was
rather curious The sound of the voice
came through the telephone receiver,
and I could also hear it through the
closed door.
Just moment. 7 will count up to
10-four through the phone. After that
l shall go on counting up to eight, but

describes one of the marvels of modern
research. 1t needs little imagination to
see the wonder Of this modern miracle.
You talk into a cardboard mouthpiece at
one place and another person with a
telephone receiver on his head some miles
away can hear you speak. In between
you there is nothing but the sunlight
by day or searchlight by night. The
flippant would say that this is but an
other form of light talk. The scientist
speaks of "a beam of light fluctuating
in accordance with speech sounds"
The discovery is now three years old.
Il was made during the war. It was one
of England's war secrets. The British
admiralty board of invention and re-
search was responsible for the making
of the experiments which led to the in
vention. The results are now published
by their permission.
DR.. Rankine is a fellow of University
college, London, and assistant professor
in the department of physics. He is well
on the sunny side of 40. brilliant ca
reer seems assured to him. His father
was a Baptist minister. Oliver Rankine
had to make his own way in life. He
began by winning scholarships which took
him through every phase of his education
without cost to his father. His present
position he owes entirely to his own
exertions.
The problem Of telephoning by light
was referred by the admiralty to the
scientists of University college. DIR.
Rankine solved it. The chief IDEA came
to him as he lay one night in bed. 1t
was a sudden inspfration-sudden in the
sense that in the quiet or the night
with nothing to disturb the tenour OF
his thoughts, the clue came quickly. 1t
was not in reality sudden at ALL 1t

Twice Rejected He Returns
With Highest Emblems
of Bravery in France

Sclinsgrove, Pa, July 25.-CleVe
Kessler has come back to Shamokin
Dam from the world war wearing
q United States distinguished service
medal and French Croix de Guerre'
He is the only Snyder countian
known to have been awarded one
of his country's distinguished serV-
Ice medals. Kessler was rejected
twice by recruiting officers.
Kessler lived along the canal with
his father in a lowly hut. Fishing,
hunting and living the life of the
great outdoors were what appealed
to Cleve. He had been on his own
resources all his life, and was not
averse to fight for what he wanted.
Moreover, he usually got it when
anything was to be settled with fists.
Kessler got into the army at
length, and was sent to Florida and
then overseas. He was a mule skin
ner pure and simple. One day he
braved German shells to rescue a
wounded French soldier and was
awarded the medals he wears for
his bravery.
