Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 30, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba O o k ii e 11 e wide the Montreal witness. F the past week this remarkable in pl-1 1 had Chi Bittl very Satis Fao this Tho Montreal Telegraph Torilyn i Jince at Tho City District Teles oilic0 uni at the it. Law Iff a Micro 1 Rof.

All this can pass through which May Boas nue As Corn sewing Cotton. Tho theory of the Toie Nisono s operation is that the Iron disc sympathy with the voice and by rigid series of delicate pulsations affects who strength of Tho Magnet which causes corresponding electric currents to be of Riecl Lac surrounding these cur rents conveyed to the receiving disc repro Duco sound once More although a Small to Oruro of its original volume. 1 he cur rent circulating in a Telephone s wire is too minute for detection by the most sensitive made whence some observers have erroneously inferred that the Chinmu Ioa Tion is directly by sound that it is a Chilly old civic is proved by Tho electric Speed of telephonic conversation far out stripping Tho velocity of sound in any metallic conductor by a Magnet being a necessary part of the apparatus and by the in of a return wire or its to Complete the electric circuit. The invention of the Telephone is by some regarded us Tho discovery of a now truth hitherto unsuspected that sound is directly convertible into electricity and vice versa. It also to Lions us How far a slight atomic movement May to carried with Ina Preci Able loss and reminds us of Tho wonderful lessons of Tho Spectroscope by which a Ray of too minute in its Force Lor any known Means of measurement May after a journey of perhaps a Century s duration carry with it the legible by Ory of its origin what particular materials emitted it and at what rate the orb from whence it came is advancing towards us or receding from us. Tho inventor of Tho Telephone Trof. A. Graham Boll came from Scotland to Canada in 1870, and Ait i remaining Horo Throe years removed to Boston. Is father 1 rot. A. I Colvillo Bali resides in Brantford on Tario and Many of our readers May remember his elocution Ary entertainments Given six or soon years ago in mechanics Lylall. Besides being on eminent elocution St i rot. Bell senior has made Tho method of speech an object of close scientific study and in his work on visible speech he has illustrated exactly what movements of lips and Tongue accompany Tho utterances of Tho v Arius sounds of the human voice. Lie thus originated a Scionte by which deaf mutes have been taught to detect by Tho Eye Tho words spoken to them and by educating Tho Dor Mant Powers of articulation dormant be cause of deafness deaf mutes Havo been taught to speak. The inventor of the Tele phone thus plainly comes by his Genius and Success through inheritance and training. When in Montreal last month with his Bride his friends were delighted to meet a lady born i deaf mute could easily and freely enter into conversation. Proi. A. Graham Bell is now in England and very probably will exhibit his invention to the British association for Tho advancement of science now in session.
