MODERN WONDERS
TRACED TO MORSE
Radio Vision and Long-Dis-

owed 95 Years Ago.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Although radio vision and long-dis-
tance television rapidly approach the
commonplace. only 95 years nave
passed since Samuel +. b. Morse con
ceived the idea from which he deVei'
oned the telegraph, and it was not
until May "a, 1874, that the first lV0-
mile circuit was officially opened.
Since that day, 83 years ago, when
the message. What hath God
wrought" was transmitted to Bal
timore and back to Washington,
many developments. including the tele-
uhone. have sprung from 1t. Even
the code of dots and dashes which
Morse devised before he gain work
on his apparatus has been sunpiant-
ed to some extent in recent years by
the automatic printing system when
uses typewriters to translate lnto
letters the electrical impulses sent
over the wires. and radio telegraphy
has come to threaten the dominion OF
the wires themselves.
Traced to Morse instruments.
The automatic telegraphic printers
OF today suggest the 6rst instruments
devised by Morse, whose objective was

business now transacted. In the first
four DAYS after the opening of the line
for business, April /. 1845, one cent
was taken in. on the fifth day the
receipts jumped to 12i2 cents, and on
the seventh-the sixth being Sunday
they rose to 90 cents, reached peak
Of S132 on the eighth and dropped
back 10 $t04 on the ninth The rate
Was one cent for four characters, each
character representing one letter OF
the alphabet.
Hampered by Restrictions.
At that time a Wire could be used
for only one message al time. 1t was
3a years later thai Alexander Graham
Bell seeking a method To send two or
r-nTe messages over a circuit at the
same time, discovered the secret of the
telephone through the accidental pro-
1uctiun of an undulating current in
the arfnature Of his receiving instru.
ment while he was listening for varia-
tions in the sounds produced by tele-
graphic impulses.
The first telegra phic office was on
Ninth street between J., and +. Many

The increased ash-pit loss may be
