’Slight as our information about it
is the story of this other plunct. Dr.
Ward says; "teaches us in the must no-
mistakable manner that the earth
must follow In Its footstcps; Illat its
mountains must be worn down and
its seas filled up until it shall become.
a smooth ball; that its waters and lip;

comc incorporated in Its solid crust.
dhough in this rospcot It will remain
long at the. stage at. which we find
Mars today, its filial death following
that of Mars by the same timodlstuncc

description. is fact. ills a, question
whether, everything considered. New
England is not better telephOncd than
any other part of tits country. i
New England has played an impor-'
tant role. In the development of the
telephone from thv'very beginning. It
was a Iloston scientist. Clarence John
Blake, the famous aurlst of Harvard
lilnivérslty, and a Boston mechanical].
Thomas A. Watson, whom Alexander
Graham Iicll. than himself a teacher
‘ in one of the foremost Boston schools.
consulted when the telephonic was in
‘lts infancy. Technically speaking}
the manufacture of the first telephone‘
instrument was the. work of Mr. Wat-1
sou.
New England ingenuity and enter-
iso in connection with the spread of
this “most popular of the modern Illi-
Iities" have done more than the ma-
Jority of people an erstand. it was
a New Englandcr, i. M. liatcheldcr,
of Salem. Mass, liomprcsldenl of the
Asiatic National Bunk in that historic
city, who was the first [0 make, practi-
,cal use of the telephone for anything
.bcyond a local distance. This occur-

lecturers on his invention. A large
gatheringussemblsd to hear him at
thyccnm Hall in Salem. Mr. liatcllel-
der, who at that time was the Salon
correspondent of a Boston paper. made
use of the telephone exhibited by Pro-
fessor Bell to send his report of the
meeting to Boston. That was just
about thirty years ago, the date be-
ing February 12. 1877.
it Is curious to note, by the way,
that in those days the telephone was’
commonly looked upon as a form of
untusemcnt. much as the phonograph
is today. threever he went. Mr.
licli used his telephone to illustrate
the possibilities of his invention. Mu-
.sic and messages of various doscrip»
itions ware sent over the wirc from
'Iloaton to the place where the enter-
tainment was being givn. But occa~
slouaily the. audienco showed unmis-
takable signs of a true appreciation
of the wondcrful invention. At 'Sulcni.
on tho evcuing In question. the air
dienct- was remarkably appreciative.
as may be seen by the following ex-
tractirom the report which Mr. Hat-
clielder telephoned to Boston:
"Profcssor licll briefly explained tho
construction of the instrument. and
then sketched his studies of the sys-
lcm of transmitting the sounds. llc
explained that it was his first attempt
.bcl‘dre an audlcucc to try those difil‘
{cult cxpcrilneuts. An intermittent
current was first sent from Boston
.by Mr. Thomas A. Watson. Professor
‘lit‘ll'fi associate. This caused a noise.
similar to a born from the telephone.
The. Morse. telegraph alphabet was
then sent by musical sounds and could
be heard throughout, the hall. The on
dimtce burst Into loud applausc at
this experiment. A telephonic organ
was then put into operation In Boston.
‘Should Auld Acquaintauce. Be Forgot'
and ‘Yttnkeo Duodle.‘ were readily
heard and heartily recognized.
“At this point Professor Bell then
explained how he Icarncd to transmit
the. tones of the human voice and
paid a grateful tribute to Mr. Watson.
Professor Bell asked Mr. Watson for
a song and 'Auid hang oyne’ came
from the mouthpiece of the instrument
almost before his words were uttered.
Mr. Watson was then asked to make
a speech to the audience. He express,
cd himself as. having more confidence
eighteen miles away than if he were
prcscnt. His speech was as follows:
“Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives
mo greatpleasurc to be able. to ad
dress you this evening. although i am
in Boston and you In Salem.’
"This could be heard 35 feet. dis.
taut—that Is, all over the bulb—and
brought down the hall with applause."
And so the report runs on. ,
The presiding officer of the Essex
institute, under whose auspices the
lecture, was given offered before the:
close of the meeting an order provid
lug for the appointment of a commit-
tee to draw up resolutions expressing
tlte satisfaction of the Institute and of
those. attending the. lecture. "for the

record that any such thing had been
done... Then a vote of thanks was also
passed to.the Atlantic and Pacific Te.-

experiments. Finally the report of the
meeting was telephoned to Boston.
This was also a feat never before at,
