Ontario, How Bell Got (Continued from Page 2) were testing their multiple tele- graph apparatus when the tuned - reed transmitter ,,became stuck. Watson plucked tete reed with his Linger to start it again. Bell, who had the reed of the receiver press- ed against his ear, heard it emit a • faint echo of the sound of the trans- mitter spring. Instantly, he realiz- ed that a complex sound containin overtones had actually been trans- mitted over the wire. The sti:•lcil:c of the reed had established thi.t marvellous conception of Bell's—;t "continuous undulating current" of electricity, instead of the intrrmit- tent current required for the lar atonic telegraph, Moreover when Bell held his harmonic rcc•eiver tightly against his ear he. In et- fect, clamped the free end of the reed or spring, thus damping its na• tural rate of vibration and causing it to vibrate in a manner similar to the diaphragm of the modern tele- phone receiver. This experiment removed Bell's doubt that the cur- rents generated by the vibration of an amature in front of an electro- magnet would not be strong en- ough for practical use in telephone transmission- It also dispelled Bell's doubt of the ability of such a telephone to transmit the com- plex sounds of speech. On the following day, the world's first telephone called the "Gal- low•sFrame" from its design—was constructed by Watson, and speech sounds, but not words or sentences, were heard. As Watson tint :it Iat- HULLETT The regular monthly meeting of Hullett Township Council was held Monday in the Community Hall, Londesboro. at 1:30 p.m. The reeve and all members of the council were present. The minutes of the special meeting of March 21 were read. Leiper• and Jewitt: That the minutes of the regular meeting of March 5 and special meetings of March 12 and March 21, be adopted as read. Carried. At this time a delegation from • the Goderich Collegiate Institute • er. he eoyld reeR , - +a Val* YeiCe and almost make out what lie was saying! What he heard, of course, were the strong vocal or vowel sounds, but not the weak,breath or consonant sounds. Several circumetanees . arose which caused delay in Bell's work of developing his invention. During the summer of 1875 he was in 'poor health. He was seeking aid in ob- taining foreign patents on his in- ventions. He was pressed financial ly. And—last but not least—he was in love! Nevertheless, as he stated in his "Deposition," it was in September, 1575, at his father's house near Brantford, where he had gone to recoup his health, that Bell dis- covered a method of improving his telephone transmitter. (As Bell af- terwards put it, "Brantford was my thinking place.") At first designed as a spark arrester for his multiple telegraph, the improvement con- sisted of a glass vessel containing acidulated water into which the ends of bhe wires were inserted just enough to increase the resist- ance of the circuit and arrest the spark, but not enough to enfeeble the current too greatly. Iu January, 1876, while revising the "first draft of the telephone patent specification prepared at Brantford in September, 1875," Bell recalled, as he said, "almost at the last minute" that he had forgotten to include in it "the variable resist- ance mode of producing electrical undulation . . - and it occurred to me that the means adopted in my spark arrester of varying resist- ance . . . would be eminently suit- able as an illustration." It was this "Liquid Transmitter" hicli he was testing on the famous ]Iarc•h 10, 1876, when he spilled some of the acid on his trousers. Without thinking that Watson was beyond earshot, he exclaimed, "Mr. Watson, come here; 1 want you." In the distant room, Watson heard the words over the wire, and rush- ed into Bell's workshop, crying, "Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said—distinctly." Possibly because he recalled the damage to his trousers caused by the sulphuric acid, Bell did not : ielude it in his first commercial telephone, which was an improved ersion of the macneto—or Gallows Plante- telephone, conceived at llr:;ntl'ord in the summer of 1874 and first constructed on June 3, 1575, at Boston. It was used both as a transmitter and receiver. Af- ter 1879, however, improved trans- n.itters were introduced, all em- ploy -!ng the variable -resistance prin- ciple developed at Brantford in September, 1875. and first embodied u the Liquid. Transmitter of March, 1876. In 1881, after residing at Tutelo Heights, in the now famous Bell Homestead since early August, 1870, Melville and Mrs. Bell were persuaded to join the telephone in- vertor then living in Washington. On May 5, at a civic farewell ban- quet tendered in the Kerby House, Brantford, the elder Bell spoke, in part, as follows: "You all know my son; the world knows his name; but only his friends know his heart is as good as his name is great . .. No oth- er consideration than to enjoy the society- of our only son would have induced us to forsake our kind, good friends in Brantford. "Every man desires that his name -may be remembered even after he shall have ceased to profit by the recollection. I may confi- dently feel that my sojourn in Brantt'ord will outlive my exist- ence, because under yon roof of mine the telephone was born. A ray of fame, reflected from the son, will linger on the parental abode." Save It! "Nothing that grows should be thrown away." This would be a mighty' good motto for any garden- er, or farmer too, for that matter. The man who dumps all the weeds and cut grass into the garbage pail is actually tossing away his soil. all garden refuse, weeds, grass slippings, leaves. etc., will rot down into excellent soil, and so will a lot of other things if we give them a Little encouragement. Usually a corner of the garden, screened with shrubbery or some- thing else and away from the House, is selected for this soil - making business. It is t>}•chnicafly known as composting, and the ma- terial is compost heap- Simply se- lect a fairly .well -drained spot and here !lump the leaves, weeds, grass and whatever is collected. Over this we sprinkle a layer of earth and the process is repeated each time we add some refuse. It' avail- able add some manure and pos- sibly a little lime and commercial fertilizer. It's a good plan to soak 'this pile occasionally with water and also turn it over once or twice to assist decomposition. In a few •months this pile will break down into first-class, rich garden soil. 'The process can be hastened by us- ing some of the various patent •chemicals on the market. The Big Three Most flowers and vegetables fall into three main classes - hardy, semi hardy and tender. In plant- ing we should bear in mind that :the first group are not afraid of frost; the second ran take a lit- - tie, but they don't like it: the third will be killed just as sure as to- morrow if the mercury falls below • 22 degrees. In the first category come flowers and vegetables that under normal conditions would seed • themselves. These are things like alyssum, cosmos, poppies and scores of other flowers. They are ...all specially listed as hardy in any good Canadian seed catalogue and are similarly described on the seed ',Packet. Among vegetables will be lettuce, epineh, carrots, parsnips, -.Mid, of course, garden. peas. In pie set Omi groinlr there is a s,, 'eats v''aiiety; of ,flowers, It is at tl. this time, when danger of serious frost has passed, that we get the first of started plants transplanted outside—things like petunias, zin- nias, etc. In the vegetable line, beans, the first corn and potatoes the main planting of beets, carrots, etc.• will go in at this period. For the tender group -•soil, as well as air, must be warm before these go outside. Of course with seeds and bulbs, which will not be pushin.g through the surface for a few days, one can gamble a little, but as a rule with the tender group there is nothing to be gained by rushing in ahead of lime unless special protection is provided such as glass or paper caps. Among the very tender' flowers are cannas, gladioli, dahlies and any other very soft, fleshy stemmed plants. The melons and squashes come in this group a.nd so do cucumbers, peppers and pumpkins. Corn and tomatoes are also associated with warm weather and as a rule the main planting of •both usually go in then.

Streams suitable to the speckled trout are rapidly vanishing before the inroads of man, consequently conservation of this beautiful fish is becoming a concern amongst in- creasing thousands of our citizens.
