Ib]VEIyTOR OF TELEPIRONE HAS
PASSED OUT
No invention with which the name
of Canada was ever associated has
been of so much importance as that
of the telephone, even though the
inventor, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,
was born in Scotland and received
that led
ch of the training
there much t
hint into the series of experiments
that e111111 ted in the telephone. Dr.
Bell was as Modest us he was emin-
ent, and ltIways disclaimed the hon-
or of being the developer of the
modern telephone. That, he said,
was the work of a hundred brain,,
but there is uu doubt that the first
and greatest on the list was the brain
of Bell. Ile was the first human
being to talk over a wire by means
of electricity, Had there been nu
telegraph there would have been no
telephone. Bell had to wait fur the
discovery of the electric telegraph
before his own experiments were
possible, but he did nut attack the
problem from the paint of view of
the electrical expert, but rather as a
specialist in voice production. His
feat was comparable to that of a
singer inventing the phonograph.
Alexander Graham Bell was burn
in Edinburgh, where his father,
Prof. Melville Bell, was regarded as
one of the leading vocal physiolo-
gists of his time. He was, indeed,
the inventor of the system of visible
speaking by which the deaf and
dumb are taught to understand what
is said to them. Ile was a delicate
lad and the fact that his two
brothers had died caused the father
to give up his important work in
Scotland and come to America. His
first intention was to settle in the
United States, which he had formerly
visited, but finally he hit on Brant-
ford as a suitable place of residence
and made his new home at rutela
Heights, near that city. His son
Alexander was then in his twenty
fourth year, a tall, thoughtful youth
who impressed those who came in
contact with him as a man of un-
usual intellectual force. He was even
then a serious student with a range
of information on many subjects.
His first hobby was music, and he
remarked on one occasion that he
could never remember a time when
he could not play. He was also an
authority on flowers and plants.
As a boy he had a fund of infor-
mation not possessed by many of
twice his years, but his grandfather
with whom he spent some time in
London, pointed out to him that he
was also grossly ignorant of many
things known to the average school-
boy, and that it was his duty to
study hard. It was probably as a
result of his father's particular line
of research that Alexander turned
his thoughts to the development of
an apparatus that would enable deaf
pupils to see and recognize the forms
of vibration characteristic of the
various elements of speech. He had
not been long at Brantford when
he was called to Boston to take the
chair of vocal physiology at Boston
University and there to introduce
the system invented by his father.
For some years thereafter he spent
his time between Brantford and
Boston. His final discovery was
made in Iflantford, and seems to
have been precipitated by his studies
with a human ear which had been
presented to him by a friend in Bos-
ton as he was leaving for his vaca-
tion in Canada.
He had, of course, many obstacles
to overcome. There was the pri-
mary fact that he had to invent
several instruments, each of them
being the result of protracted study,
though to -day they would appear
crude. The neighbors seeing him
stringing stove -pipe wire along the
fences supposed him to be de-
mented. But he was encouraged as
the result of small demonstrations
and never wavered in the convic-
tion that he was on the right track
and would eventually produce an in-
strument which would transmit the
human voice. The first test of any
importance was made on August 6,
1876, in the home on Tutela Heights.
A dozen or more personal friends
were present. The distance between
receiver and transmitter was only
the distance between the house and
the river bank, but the sounds
travelled over five miles of coiled
wire, and none of those present
doubted that he was witnessing one
of the great discoveries of the age.
Two or three other tests were under-
taken in the course of the next few
days, the final and conclusive one
being between Paris and Brantford,
conducted by means of a battery in
Toronto. It is said that the first
words ever transmitted over the tele-
phone were "To be or not to be."
The telephone was hown at the
Philadelphia centennial in 1876, by
which time Bell had filed the neces-
sary patents, and the company was
formed to establish telephone sys-
tems. He was aided in many ways
by his wife, the daughter of a pros-
perous Boston lawyer named Gardi-
ner Greene Hubbard, afterwards the
founder of the National Geographic
Society. He had gone to the Hub-
bard home to teach the young
woman who had lost her hearing
and power of speech as a result of
scarlet fever, and in the process of
instruction they fell in love. Mrs.

Bell had financial resources and. i
was partly on this account that her
husband did nut suffer the fate of
so many inventors who are deprived
of the fruits of their discoveries.
His claim to be the inventor of the
telephone was never challenged and
as the business grew he became a
rich man. His interest in scientific
pursuits never waned, however, and
to the end his mind was as recep-
tive as that of a child to new dis-
coveries and fresh impressions. Ile
gave much thought to the develop-
ment of the airplane and many valu-
able experiments were carried out in
his summer home in Cape Breton.
He also drew plans for the artificial
cooling of houses, and in the hottest
day of Summer his Washington
home was always kept at a pleasant
temperature. I)r. Bell has left be-
hind him, besides his complete in-
ventions and improvements, a great
number of notebooks in which. he
jotted down his thoughts and ex-
periments. Their publication should
prove of great value and interest.
GARDEN OF EDEN ON RIM OF
THE ARTIC
Out of the north come many wond-
erful tales, but not many that rival
the story told by Frank Perry, min-
ing engineer, of Vancouver. He has
spent fourteen years in the Artic
regions of the Northwest, between
latitudes 57 and 63, and longitudes
1122 and 131. He travelled light,
using only four pack dags, and made
his food from concentrated extracts
of moose meat. Being far from the
usual run of river and lake traffic.,
he came into touch with only a few
Indians, and even these had super-
stitions that kept them out of the
great valley into which he accident-
ally wandered. This valley is a
garden of Eden, a sort of semi-
tropical Paradise surrounded by Arc-
tic rigor, and is wonderfully rich.
Perhaps the most striking part of
his story is the discovery of the Hot
Spring Valleys, in all, 200 miles in
length and from 25 to 40 miles wide.
Struggling up the side of a hill, with
his two faithful dags, with as Arctic
gale driving chills through his al-
most exhausted constitution, he found
when at last reaching the crest, this
wonderful valley, the bottom of which
was hidden from his gaze, by a dense
fog, the origin of which he at first
was unable to understand. When he
descended he found large lakes of al-
most boiling water, generating clouds
of vapor., which forming the fog, pro-
tects the valley from the frosts
and fosters vegetation. Tfie soil is
the richest he knows of, probably 100
feet deep with natural fertilization
from the hot springs and volcanic
minerals. In this valley Mr. Perry
found large deposits of minerals with
a high percentage of gold, silver and
copper.. He has sent a large numb-
er of samples of these deposit§ to be
analyzed in various American uni-
versities, and he has in his posses-
sion documents showing the chemical
composition of the finds.
The vegetation was exceptionally
rich, not only in different forms, but
in the size of growth. He found
willows, the branches of which were
fit to walk upon. Grasses had pro-
portions double the size of those
which we are used to see. And as
a consequence, animals flock to the
valley. 'I saw rose bushes of the
size of trees, with stems as thick as
my forearm and so dense it was al-
most impossible to break through.
Everything growing had an abnormal
size, and sometimes I really did
wonder whether I still was wander-
ing in this world, or if I had ascend-
ed to a country worthy of the de-
scriptions which made Dante im-
mortal,' the explorer remarked.
Other features of the new paradise
were birch trees 150 feet high, bend-
ing over and nearly touching the
ground. During the winter there
was no frost, the hot springs and
lakes providing a protecting veil of
fog. Mr. Perry also found iron and
coal, the latter almost forming a
separate mountain, one seam 800
feet across, while the largest iron
ore seam measured about 200 feet
in thickness. He also thinks he has
found a quartz deposit free from
overburden and which ought to bear
deveiopement. "Why 1 claim to
have traversed unknown country is
because 1 know as a fact that the
only human beings that ever are in
these districts are the fur traders,
and they always use the rivers and
waterways as means of transporta-
tion. I have met a few Indians,
hut have ,found they nurse a tradi-
tion that the valley is haunted by
what we know as pre -historic ani-
mals. By a discovery 1 found nut
the origin of their fantastic belief.
"This part of the country has not'
been exposed to the destructive forces
of glaciers, and 1 was not astonished
to find footprints in sandstone of a
three -toed monster. I also saw a
number of bones of immense size, in
remarkably preserved condition,north
and west of the headwaters of the
Finday river. The hones are not fos-
silized and those exposed to daylight
are sections of the spine and the hips."
By excavation Mr. Perry thinks that
a find would be made of much his-
toric value. It is only in one valley
that the engineer has seen signs of
the m cute ;sonata wht.T e4
the. world thousands of yea Jago,
and the situation of the rental r sug-
gests that sones natural disaster
closed them in this valley and drown-
ed them.. The creek, 'which has in
modern time been flowing through
the valla In its erosional action

exposed the giants. Mr. Perry was
from age • a •e made familiar with
the mining conditions in Montana and
Idaho. He has always studied geo-
logy and the vast open apexes in the
North were always the fields on which
It, used to let his imagination play
younger days. Ile is now through

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE
FOUR COt•If1'S BATTLE
So little did we know of what was
behind the parade of armed forces
in this city of Dublin that when 1
entered the Four Courts on the even-
ing before the lir; t shots were fired.
I did not dream for a moment that
there would be any difficulty in leav-
ing when I had ...en my friend.
It was shortly after seven o'clock
• when I entered, land at four min-
i utes to 10 I •.tv.s snaking my way
out when I was told that 1 could
not go, that the government forces
were everywhere around, and that
if anybody attempted to leave the
ibuilding they would he fired on.
Even under normal circumstances
1 could not but dislike the idea of
spending a night in this building
with these men, most of whom were
unknown to me, but with the prob-
ability that before morning all the
terrors of bombardment would be up-
on us, the prospect was far from be-
ing a pleasant one.
I asked to ser General Rory O'Con-
nor, and my`friend obtained the nec-
essary permission without much
trouble. He was full of sympathy
for me in my trouble, but said he
could do nothing "I am master
here, but outside I am powerless," he
said. "It is the order of the Collins
government.
"Had I known you were coming
in here I should have seen to it that
you were warned in time, but now I
cannot help you. 1 cannot even guar-
antee that you will not perish amid
the ruins of this building with us.
"All I can do is to take the first
opportunity of advising the Collins
government of your presence here,
and perhaps they will be humane
enough to allow you to pass out.
For the present i can only ask you
to make yourself at home, and to
assure you that you will be treated
as only Irishmen know how to treat
ladies."
-With that the republican command-
er dismissed the subject of my safety
and spoke of other things. He was
curious to know whether I had been
in France lately, and what the French
people thoughts of events in Ireland,
particulary what was their view of
him.
I told him that we French did
not quite understand his attitude,
why he should be fighting against a
government of his own country, a
government, just chosen by his own
people in the elections.
"I do not think you realize the po-
sition," he remarked. but at the same
time it was clear that he was put
out by what I had said. "We did not
voluntarily place ourselves here to
be shot at by our own countrymen.
"We have been ready to abandon
the position, provided we can do so
with honor to ourselves and to the
republic, which we serve, but we will
never surrender to Irishmen, who
take their orders from an English
government'?
I left the room and set about mak-
ing myself as comfortable as I could
under the circumstances, but I was
full of dread of what that night was
to bring forth, because I could hear
all around the stealthy movements
of men and see the menacing mouths
of the guns pointing at the building.
The other two women in the build-
ing were working as volunteer
nurses and they had experience of
fighting against the English, so they
were not so much upset by what was
happening. The men, I thought
-they were mostly very young -ap-
peared very nervous, and some made
no secret of their dislike for the po-
sition in which they found them-
selves.
The majority, however, tried to
make the best of it and so the night
passed on, everybody carrying him-
self as though death and wounds and
all the rest of it were as nothing.
As darkness settled over the build-
ing and black figures could be seen
moving stealthily . along the Liffey,
the nervous tension became greater
and some of the men seemed almost
hysterical.
I am sure they would have wel-
comed action of any kind that
brought an end to the uncertainty.
Not, however, until the first streaks
of dawn were breaking in the east-
ern sky did the tension relax. It
came in the deep boom of guns and
the never -to -be -forgotten crash of
shells, as they burst inside the
courtyard, bringing masonry tum-
bling down and sending up clouds of
smoke and dust.
That worked a transformation.
Gone was the nervousness of the
boys, and, instead, we had well dis-
ciplined soldiers who were concerned
only with doing their duty.
Each man ran to his post at the
word pf command, and soon there
was the steady rattle of rifle fire as
shots were sent in the direction of
the faintly outlined free state sol-
diers now moving towards the build-
ing through the rain -swept streets,
so soon to be colored with the blood
of Irishmen shed by brother Irish-
men in fraticidal strife.

It y'as,;a fii< gating sight Shut un-
folded before,as the i free ata,
troops preasedl seadily towards the
building under) over of the gun fire,
raining bombs : nil machine gun fire
on the Four quirts as they did so.
II had moved to a window in one
of thealle i
res
g to obtain Ca better
view, in spite of the warning of one
f
u the officers
of the
O'Connor
army.
There came a crash and a blinding
flash, followed by other crashes and
smashes and then cries of pain.
At first I did not know what had
happened, but later 1 learned that a
bomb had burst in the gallery, killing
two of the men who had been laugh-
ing and joking only a few minutes,
before, and wounding others.
Fortunately, I escaped unhurt, but.
the shock was not a pleasant one and'
it certainly brought home to me that
war of any kind, even on the small-
est scale, can be an unpleasant ex-
perience.
Through the night the struggle
raged fiercely, the free state troops
approaching gradually nearer until
they were able to rake the long gal-
lery with machine gun fire and oc-
casionally to drop bombs into it. It
was then the order to evacuate the
gallery was given and while this was
being, executed Rory O'Connor made
his appearance.
He came up to me and asked why
I was exposing myself in that way.
1 replied that I was not aware that I
was exposing myself, but felt that,
being there against my will, I must
gratify my woman's curiosity. He
smiled grimly at my reply, and then
turned to give orders to the men
around him.
°Boys," he said, "there is no use
denying that we are caught like rats
in a trap. The servile slaves of the
English government are sending
their hirelings against us, and you
may be called on at any moment to
yield up your lives for the republic.
"Count that as nothing, but do your
duty, confident that history will do
you justice, and in another world
you will have your reward for your
fidelity to the oath you took to serve
the republic through good or ill."
Then a venerable priest came and
gave his blessing, the young men
crowding round, and some seeming
disposed to confess their sins. The
priest signed to me to retire, and
when I was out of the gallery he
talker to the men.
As the result every man passed
out of that gallery with the fires of
fanaticism gleaming from his eyes,
and most of them were ready to die
any death that waited them for what
they believed to be the truth.
In a few minutes the gallery was
cleared, and we moved towards the
inner wing, where it had been decid-
ed to await the attack of the govern-
ment troops, now easily to be seen
in the front of the courtyard. The
gun fire became more regular and
more effective at this stage, and soon
the whole of the outer galleries were
cleared, the retiring troops carrying
with them wounded and dead com-
rades as they fell back.
All the while men were feverishly
at work completing the laying of
mines about the place, and I heard
it openly said that if the position be-
came hopeless these mines 'Cvould be
discharged to blow up the Four
Courts and make the building the
tomb of defender and attacker alike.
With savage joy some of the men
talked of the havoc that would be
wrought when the Collins groups
came into the building and the
mines were sprung. Suddenly there
was commotion without. Heavy fir-
ing at different points, and the
scurrying footsteps of men. Towards
one of the entrances a boy in the
uniform of the free state troops
rushed.
From where I stood republicans
rushed forward to take aim at him.
One of the keenest and most deter-
mined was a blue-eyed laughing boy,
who could not have been more than
seventeen. Yet he moved with the
smartness of a trained veteran, and
I could see him fire deliberately at
the boy below rushing to enter the
forecourt.
The boy below dropped and lay
there with his face upturned to the
sky, across which dawn was now
streaming. From inside the building
one of the republicans rushed, bend-
ing over the motionless lad in the
roadway. Something seemed to stir
the republican, and he started back,
signing to the boy who had fired the
shot.
At first the latter did not catch
what was being said, but when he
did a look of unspeakable grief came
into his face and he turned away
with his hands covering his eyes, his
gramme shaking with sobs as he did.
Then he made to go out to the
spot where the body lay, but com-
rades held him back, for at that time
a machine gun had been moved up,
and its fire was sweeping the ap-
proaches. The distressed republican
boy broke from his comrades and
dashed out to where the body lay,
throwing himself across it in a
frenzy of anguish.
