. PAGE EICHT BELL TELEPHONE FLAG FLYING TODAY tory Electric Current Was Perfected Today is a red letter day in tele- phone history, The Bell System flog is flying from the masthead on the Telephone Building on Vietor- fa street. "According to a record in the diary of Dr. Melville Bell. father of the inventor of the telephone," sald Manager H, M. Black of the Bell Telephone Company, to The Times this morning. "It was on July 26th, 1874, at Brantford, that his son perfected the idea of the undulatory] eleetrie current. It was Bell's idea that if the vibra- tions of the air caused by the voice in speaking could be reproduced at a distance by means of electricity, speech ilself would be reproduced and understood. Bell discovered that this could he done by gradually changing the intensity of continuous electric current so as to make it -corres- pond exactly to aerial vibrations caused by the sound of the voice. "This principle was later 'em- bodied in the first telephone, which produced the sounds of the human voice for the first time on March 10th, 1876."
