v Transatlantic telephone service is be-
ing rapidly extended in continental
Europe. 1t is now practicable for tele-
phone users in the United States and
Cuba to carry on conversations with
points in Belgium, Holland, Germany
and Sweden, and in addition, Great
Britain, where the service has been in
effect since January Z, 1927.
This telephone service across the At
lantic is now being widely used. Only
recently two audiences separated by
|, 5000 miles of water were joined in the
same proceedings for the first time in
history. This joint meeting was the
mid-winter convention of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers held
in New York and the British Institu-
ton Of Electrical Engineers held In
London. The New York meeting was
held in the morning, but on account of
the five hours difference in time the
meeting in London was in the after
noon. Bancroft Gherardi, vice-presi-
dent Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company as president of the

gineers, addressed both meetings at the

EDISC,N'S DEAFNESS.
g y i y = i

When Thomas A. Edison was twelve
years old, he received an injury which
made him deaf for life. He was a
newsboy on the Grand Trunk Railway,
and the story is that an irate train
man caught the boy by the ears and
yanked him up from a platform into
baggage car.
But Edison makes this testimony:
"My deafness has not been handicap
but a help to me. From the start it
drove me to reading. Ny refuge was
the Detroit Public Library. l didn't
read few books. l read the library.
81 was shut off from that particular
kind of intercourse which is called
small talk, but l am glad of it. Free
dom from such talk gave me an OPP
portunity to think out my problems.
"My nerves are stronger and bet
ter today than they would have been
had my hearing been normal. Not
even New York is a strain on my
nerves.
Deafness has done many good
things for the world. In my own case
it was responsible, l think, for the
perfection of the monograph; and it
had something to do with the develop
ment of the telephone. When Bell
first worked out his telephone, the in
strument was so weak | couldn't hear
it. | started to develop it and kept on
till the sounds were audible to me.
This improvement, the carbon trans
mitter, made the telephone successful.
If l had not been deaf, it is probable
that this improvement would not have
been made.
"My deafness has had a definite adj
vantage for me in business also, in
more ways than one. The fact that
do not rely on verbal agreements
and reports is one reason for this.
Gwen in courtship my deafness
was a help. 1t excused me for get
ting quite little nearer to her than l
|
would have dared to if l hadn't had
to be quite close in order to hear what
she said. If something hadn't over
come my natural bashfulness l might
have been too faint of heart to win.
"And finally: The best thinking
has been done in solitude; the worst,
in turmoil"
So the great inventor recites the
beatitudes of his affliction. Truly
this is beautiful spirit, and very
sensible one TOTO insist upon see
ing the rainbow in every cloud, the
advantage in every handicap, the dis
cipline in every trial, the lesson in
every defeat, the wisdom in every
hard knock, the happiness in every
sorrow, the joy in every pain, the star
in every midnight sky.
Fortunate is the man who has this
attitude toward life. 1t is the secret
of contentment and success.
eve know that all things work to-
gether for good to them that love
God" (Romans 8:28.)

Signal Officer of the Army, Captain
T. T. Craven, director of Navy COM
munication and other representatives
of the Army and Navy and members
of the Federal Radio Commission and
Public Utilities Commission of the
District of Columbia demonstrated
the use of some of this apparatus de-.
veloped by the laboratories and which
will be of great benefit in the COM
munications field.
The demonstration given by Mr..
Grace showed among other things
how secrecy in radio transmission
may be obtained. He used phono-
graph and records which, when
played, brought forth sound which
was all gibberish of non-understand-
able language, but by the use of a
modern Robot" which has electrical
Gears" and an electrical "brain" the
sounds were translated into perfect,
understandable English.
