Oriain of "HellnU

When Alexander G. Sell was put
ting the telephone service into oper-
alton in Boston he designed that the
word "Ahoy" should be used as a
means of opening up the converse
ton over the wire, and the word was
used to great extent 1T first, but the
public soon changed this by the
adoption, seemingly of common con-
sent. Of the word Hello"
The origin Of this word dates back
to ancient times in England, when
the country was overrun by wolves
and the hunting of these animals was
gentleman's sport.
Among the : gentry French was
largely spoken and they made use of
the cry. "Au loup." meaning ito the
WOLF"
In the distance this sounded like
"a-loo," but the. Englishman has a
welI-known propensity for putting an
II" in front of his words whenever
possible, and the result is that the
word became "h-aloo.''
