Its first form was human speech--the power to transmit knowledge from one brain to another. This exchange of thoughts is the basis of all civiliza- | tion. The second step in communication was the invention of writing, by which human speech was conveyed by the eve instead of the ear, transferring thoughts to the man miles away in the jungle. Many thousands of years passed before man made his third step in| communication--the invention of a device to carry the human voice over great distances. This invention was the telephone, | born in the creative brain of Alex-| ander Graham Bell in 1876. The tele-| graph was its forerunner. A little less than seven years ago Bell and Thomas A. Watson, who | helped him invent the telephone, opened the first transcontinental line between San Francisco and New | York. You can hear over that line now as plainly as you telephone across the street--vour voice traveling 3,400 miles through 740 tons of cop-| per in a fifth of a second. Recently we have the wireless tele: phone--nphantom speech. Wouldn't that astound the other | two great inventors who created speech and writing!--Editorial, Taun- | ton (Mass.) Daily Gazette.
