The standard of .meals\nat court appears to he no higher than\ntbat of many private families in the\nwest end of Berlin. This, at any rate,\nIs the statement published in the German papers and given out officially.\nThe kaiser's chef has had no opportunity of displaying his inventive\ngenius, for new dishes since the outbreak of the war. Very few guests\nhave been entertained at the palace,\nand the kalserin has placed a ban on\ntable delicacies. The kaiser ordered\na trial meat with \"war bread\" last November, and since then he has ordered that it be eaten nt every meal. A\nfew weeks ago It was placed on the\nmenu at great headquarters, where It\nwas greatly appreciated by the kaiser\nhimself. The use of white bread for\nthe imperial breakfast table was stopped - simultaneously with the prohibition of all kinds of light baking. No\nfresh loaves are baked over night at\nthe palace, but every morning the\ncourt baker delivers a quantity of\n\"war bread,\" sufficient for the next\nday's meals. This is warmed up for\nthe empress and the members of the\ncourt at each meal.\nTlio kaiser's breakfast, when he\neast in Berlin, is simple, consisting of\nan egg, tea or coffee, and war bread.\nSoup Is served at 1 o'clock, and this\nia followed by a plate ot! meat or vegetables, but nothing else. The evening meal is less frugal. Potatoes are\nserved in their skins, which are eaten,\nsays the Yossische Zeitung, and the\nkaiser permits both meat and vegetables to be taken at this meal. The\nkalserin's choice is generally a slice\nof cold meat.\nBoth at the front and in the palace\nin Berlin, tbe kaiser lives with Spar\ntan simplicity. His choice is restricted to thick soup, containing chopped\nmeat.\nThe kalserin visits the kitchen\nevery day, giving orders and superintending the cooking. \"One cannot live\nsumptuously while our brave soldiers\nin the trendies are making great sacrifices,\" she is reported to have said.\nCakes, whipped cream and other\nluxuries are iorbidden at court. When\nthe children of the crown prince and\nother members of tho imperial family are invited to afternoon tea, a few\ncrackers appear on the table, and even\nif the crown princess or the Duchess\nof Brunswick is a guest at dinner, no\nextra dish is added to the simple\nmenu.\nPROCEEDINGS AGAINST HORN\nEXPECTED TO BEGIN SOON\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nOTTAWA, Feb. 5.\u2014The attorney-\ngeneral of New Brunswick will be rep\nresented at the extradition proceed\nIngs before the immigration commissioner In Maine in the Werner Horn\ncase.\nThe Canadian Pacific railway will\nbe represented also nnd possibly the\ndepartment of justice at Ottawa.\nthough It is not certain yet that this\nwill he necessary.\nIt is expected here that the proceed\nings will begin in a few days.\nBUY PLACER MINES\nNEAR VERNON, B.

From a British point of view the\ndeclaration hy Germany that the seas\nWhich encircle the United Kingdom\nand those along the north and west\ncoasts of France and part of Holland\nwill be considered a zone of war on\nand after Feb. 18, does not appear\nto make any serious change In the\nsituation.\nGermany since tho war began has\nheen doing her utmost to destroy Brit.\nish shipping. Her disregard for the\nrules laid down by The Hague conventions and for those of humanity\nhave heen moro openly and publicly\nexpressed in recent weeks, but the\nprinciples of the German campaign\nhave not changed since the opening of\nhostilities. Mines, were distributed\nbroadcast without consideration for\nthe non-combatants whose lives were\nsacrificed when merchant ships were\nsunk. Submarine attacks against\nFrench merchant shipping commenced\nearly In the war, the case In which a\npassenger steamer loaded with French\nand Belgian refugees was torpedoed\noffering, perhaps, the most striking\nexample of Teuton inhumanity In this\ndirection. Again, last month, five\nBritish merchant ships were destroyed by one or more German submarines.\nthat attacks by submarines and efforts to destroy shipping by means\nof mines would continue was expected and measures have been taken by\nthe British navy to reduce the danger\nto ocean commerce to a minimum.\nThese measures have met with a success which is more complete than\nwould have been predicted before war\nif German disregard of International\nlaw had beeu foreseen. And the mere\ndeclaration of what the Germans\nwould like lo enforce as a blockade\nof tho British isles does not modify\nthose conditions.\nIt Is to the neutral nations that thc\nproclamation of the kaiser's admiralty\nis ot most significance. The warning\nthat it gives to neutral shipping contains the threat that passenger and\ncargo carrying vessels of the United\nStates, 'Holland., 'Norway, \/'Denmark,\nSweden and other non-belligerent nations will he subject to the danger of\ndestruction hy German warships engaged In attempts to cut off Great\nBritain from intercourse with the outside world.\nThe threut in Itself Is damaging In\nthat it will, If It Is not retracted, ihave\nthe effect of eon 1 ratting commerce\nwith Great Britain, Franco and Holland and with other countrios to which\nships travel over the route conccmod,\nby giving cause for fear of loss of life\nand property.\nGermany has a right to do all In\nher power within international law to\nkeep contraband of war from reaching\nher enemies, hut she has no light to\ndestroy the lives of neutrals nor to\nsend to thc bottom non-contraband\ncargoes carried hy neutral ships. It\nshe had thc naval power to blockade\nall or certain British potts she could\ndeclare a blockade which would, under international law, prevent neutrals\nfrom legally attempting to reach such\nports. But she has not the naval\nstrength to enforce an effective\nblockade and no partial 'blockade will\nbe recognized.\n- If,. therefore, a German vessel of\nwar in tbe course of its attempts to\ncut off commerce from Great Britain\nkills a neutral citizen on a neutral\nvessel or sinks a neutral ship she\nwill commit an act which most self-\nrespecting nations would consider an\nact of war.\nGermany has made the threat that\nBhe may commit such acts. It is for\nthe United States and other neutral\nnations, when they have full Information concerning the German proclamation, to decide upon the measures to\nbe taken ln reply.\nthe good qualities of British Columbia\nfruit, but more satisfactory' still is\nthe success of the apples from this\nprovince against competitors in the\nopen market.\nThe latest success has been won\nIn South Africa. Shipments of Canadian apples were sent last fall in cold\nstorage steamers to various points In\nSouth Africa. 'Six hundred boxes Horn\nBritish Columbia arrived nt Cape\nTown In splendid condition. Regarding the reception of the fruit a Dominion trade and commerce department\nreport says:\nThe general opinion expressed\n\u2022by all dealers, government officials and retailers, is that the\nshipment of British Columbia apples was undoubtedly the best\nfruit imported Into South Africa;\nthe packing wns declared perfect.\nIn order to extend the South African market for Canadian apples the\nreport advocates that shipments be\nmade as early as possible and declares\nthat If efforts are made sales can\neasily be doubled. The demand is for\na medium-sized highly colored red\napple. Shipments should be made the\nend of September, Oct. 15 and' Oct.\n30. The number In a box should average from 140 to 180.\nBritish Columbia apple growers\nhave no need to fear overproduction\nof a product which pleases consumers\nwherever it is offered for sale.\nUNFAIR TAXATION EATS HEART\nOUT OF AUSTRIA.\nMany reasons have boon advanced\nfor the poor showing which has liccn\nmade by Austria In the present war.\nIncompetent officers, poor organization, lack of enthusiasm for the struggle on the part of the great body of\nthe people and tho Internal conflict\nof races are some of the causes which\nhave been suggested. A writer in an\nAmerican Croatian papor blames un\nfair taxation and gives the following\nexamples:\nAt Miholjcu 0,liil5 jutara (acres)\nowned hy ono noble royalist, tax 107\ncrowns ($83). Owned by small farm\ners at the same place, 7,278 acres\ntaxes, 12,384 crowns ($0,912).\nAt Voclnu, ono royalist owner, 22,-\n750 acres', tax, 151 crowns. At same\nplace 12,630 acres, owned by small\nfarmers, tax, 19,075 crowns.\nAt Drensosu, one noble owner, 22,-\n012 acres; taxes, 160 crownB. At same\nplace, 13,719 acres, owned by 12,000\nsmall holders, taxes. 9,982 crowns.\nSuch a system of taxation, which\nfalls with enormous weight upon the\npeasant and middle classes, who are\nleast able to bear it, and touches only\nlightly the rich, would eat the heart\nout of any country.\n\"Prodtico more than last year\" .is\nCanada's patriotic slogan for 1915.\nPatronize tho public market. It Is\nan Institution whose benefits extend\nto the rancher and the consumer and\nthrough them to the merchants and\nbusiness men of the community.\nAs Canada has taken measures,\nwith the approval* of the British government, Ho prevent any Canadian\nnickel from reaching the enemy, the\nbill of W. F. McLean to prohibit completely tho export of the metal dining\nwar appears to be a wasted effort.\nThe merchant or business man who\nwaits lor times of prosperity to advertise what he has to sell Is allowing his competitor to gain a big advantage which he will later find it\ndifficult to overcome. It is tho persistent advertiser who sells tho most\ngoods.\nThe Dally News Is now iheing printed on paper made in British Columbia\nfrom timber grown ln British Columbia and manufactured hy British Columbia workmen.

There aro no\nneurotic, neurasthenic women to toe\nround nowadays. They are all too\nbusy with more vital things to have\ntime or inclination for imaginary\nmaladies. A nurse who has beon running a popular home for nervous\ncases under some of the leading specialists told me that she will have\nto closo tho house, as it has been\nempty sinco September, and before\nthat it was hardly spacious enough\nto accommodate the patients willing\nto pay high prices -for admission.\nALL FOR THE STATE\nIN OLD ENGLAND\nNot only tho Worst, but the best; of\nhuman nature is brought out by war,\nand of this we have a striking example in tho political truce in Great Britain, says the.Mail and Empire. So\nhonestly has this truce been observed\nthat a great many, people believe it\nwill be permanent and that soon after\nthe war there Is likely to be a new\nalignment altogether and but two parties, the radicate and. the moderates.\nThe war has shown how hollow indeed\nare* some of the pretensions of party\ngovernment and that at' heart the\nstrongest of political opponents have\na deep respect for each other. Men\nwho six months ago would not play\ngolf together for fear, perhaps, that\nthey might attempt to settle political\ndifferences with their elubs are now\nhanding each other handsome compliments across tho floor of parliament,\nAt the annual meetings of the great\nEnglish banks, whose name' is held in\nmost respect? Why, Lloyd George's,\nthe man who a few months ago was\nregurded as the most dangerous man\nin England as far as tho old school of\nfinanciers could judge. Now one of\nthem says that Lloyd George ought to\nbe made a duke.\nIn Double Harness\nA year ago he was the best bated\nman in England. Today he is one of\ntho most popular. In his recent budget speech he raised everyone's\ntaxes und had some handsome things\nto say about the dukes, who a. year\nago would cheerfuly have lynched\nhim. He was followed by bis ablest\nand sternest critic, Austen Chamberlain. Tho ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer had no fault to find. His\nwords were compliments. Indeed, he\ncould not well criticize the budget,\nsince he had had the honor of assisting Lloyd George to make it. His assistance was, indeed, very generously\nacknowledged by Lloyd George. He\nalso paid a tribute to the help he had\nreceived from Lord Rothschild, who a\nyear or so ago had referred to Lloyd\nGeorge as a species bf highway robber.\nAs It is with Chamberlain and Lloyd\nGeorge, so it is Jn all branches of\ngovernment. In the last parliament\nCarson and Redmond sat amicably\nsido by side discussing how the recruiting In Ireland might bo stimulated.\nDistinguished Assistants\nAt the foreign office Lord Lansdowne, from the beginning of tlio war\nuntil liis recent illness, spent as much\ntime as Sir Edward Grey. At the war\noffice, Kitchener has on bis one hand\nLord Haldane, the former Liberal\nsecretary of war, and on the other\nArthur Balfour, formerly premier, and\nconceded to be probably the greatest\nmilitary authority In England outside\nthe ranks of professional soldiers.' In\nthe admiralty, Winston Churchill it*\nassisted by Arthur Lee, who would be\nhis successor probably if thc Unionist;\nwere to be placed In power tomorrow,\nand also by Lord Charles Beresford. a\ndoughty critic for many years pnst.\nSimilarly Lord Haldane, lord high\nchancellor, who might have been called\nupon to spend most of his time de\nelding some of the numerous points of\nlaw that ttie war has raised, has been\nable to spend hours sevory day with\nKitchener, because Lord Ha-isbury,-his\npredecessor, has been largely taking\nliis place as lord chancellor.\nLoyal Laborites\nllow the Irishmen have fallen into\nline is indicated in thc close association of Carson and Redmond. Nor\nhave the Laborites hold aloof. Thoy\nhave been as loyul as the Unionists,\nwith tlio single exception, as fur as\nparliament is concerned, of Kier\nHardie, who, however, is rather a\nSocialist than a Laborite. In the early\ndays of the war there was talk of \u00bb\nstrike among the shipbuilders and\nminers. The leaders of the unions affected publicly announced that any\nman who would lay down his tools In\nthis emergency was not only a blackleg to his union, but to his country.\nThere was a small strike among the\nsaddlers, who have reaped a harvest\nof the war. The malcontents, however, were literally whipped back to\ntheir jobs by their leaders, and afterwards the government, which the men\nhave been long denouncing as the tolls\nof the capitalists, Insisted that the\nsaddlers should pay their men more\nwages.\nEngland's Best Government\nA wilier says that as far as politics\nare concerned lu the British Isles, it\nis as though tlio story by II. G. Wells,\n\"In thc Days of the Comet,\" had come\ntrue and a vapor had cleaned the\nearth'of all jealousy, envy and pqttl-\nness. As Macau lay says: \"All are for\nthe Slate.\" Probably after (he war is\nover forgotten political animosities\nwill be revived; but what a pity It is\nlhat the old lines should ever be retraced! ICngland today is having the\nbest government she ever had, not because the present Liberal government\nIs the ablest and most patriotic In history, but because the Liberal government Is being aided by the men wild\nwould form a Unionist government fc\nit were to be called tomorrow. Thc\nbest statesmen In England aro working\nIn double harness.

At the tlmo. of writing admission has been made that,\nnearly 000,0111) Prussians (officers and\nmen) aro liors de,combat\u2014eithor killed, wounded or missing. The figures\nas to tho Bavarians are scarcely less\nstartling and fully conn\u2122 the opinion that tho worst dint ot German\narms has boon made in tho west.

A third\nfact within the actual knowledge of\nthe officer is thai however widely tho\nGerman official wireless messages\nmay Ibe distributed through the world\nand however near they may approach\nto truth (guardedly told), the men in\nthe righting lino do not get any real\nnotion of the actual progress of the\nvvar. What happened on Christmas\nday when tho soldiers in the immediate vicinity or my 'Informant made\nan Informal armistice of 21 hours explains the anxiety of the kaiser that\nno friendly Interchange should take\nplaco. It seems Incredible, but German soldiers spoke with an obvious\nsincerity or their belief that established occupation had been made by their\narmy in different parts or England!\nand that sentries wero posted in certain districts of London. Tho production of London newspapers recording\nwhat was happening in llio metropolis and giving other full Information\nof.the war astonished these men, and\nthey accepted the evidence as com\npleto nnd expressed tholr surprise\nthat they had been so misled. Prob-\nably those companies were from the\ncountry, as It Is Impossible to believe\nthat quite such amazing fictions could\nlie imposed upon the better educated.\nTho fourth point was that In the matter of looking after tlio health of the\ntroops the Germans strangely enough,\nwitli all their attention to science and\nsystems in other concerns, aro far\nbehind ourselves. The sanitary arrangements aro very unsatisfactory,\nand the doctoring leaves much lo lie\ndesired. These reports iliil not come\nfrom sick or wounded, but from\nstrong and healthy, who were surprised to gather'what a smtrtl percentage of sickness we have bad. The\nImpression left, was not that llioifin-\nemy was lacking in sense of iiiipnr,-\nanco of these things, but tliat the plan\nof campaign having railed, the system itself had suffered in very serious\n\u25a0 degree. It Is quite certain that the\nGermans have learned a good deal\nduring tho present war. Their frank\nacknowledgments that lliey bad uir\nderestiinated iho ability of the British\narmy shows lhat they aro not hide\nbound In their own conceit, but or all\nmodern nations they are perhaps 'the\nleast able, to adapt themselves to cir-\noiinistanees. lOvon their military\nscience tends to Impede them when\nvariations are required, as they work\n*o much upon theory and book principles.\nWINONA-^.\nArrow\nNotch COLLAR\n2 for 25 ccnta\n_______ ___\u25a0<; * C. lac.

Perhaps nothins discovered wlthli;\nrecant years accomplishes so much, so\nquickly, without harm, without detaining\nono Indoors, and at such small expense.\nTho principal reason for Its wonderful\nmerit Is that It works in harmony with\nphysiological laws. Instead of hiding, ot\n\"curing\" complexion defects, It removes\nthem. The wax actually takes oil the\naged, faded, sallow or blotchy cuticle,\ngently, (gradually, causing no inconvenience. It Is Nature's way of renewing\ncomplexions. Whon tho natural process 1..\nretarded because of deficient circulation ot\nnerve tone, mercollzed wax comes to the\nrescue and hastens the skin nheddlng.\nThe new complexion which appears is it\nnatural one. youthful, healthy, exquisitely\nbeautiful. If you've never tried merool.\nlied wax, get an ounce of It at the drui\nstore, use at night like cold cream, wash\nIng li oft In the morning.\nAnother natural beautifying treatment-\nfor wrinkled, flabby skin\u2014Is to bathe th.\nface In a lotion made by dissolving at\nounce ot saxolito in a half pint wltcl\nhasol. This Is remarkably effective.\nSTREAM OF BRITISH\nTROOPS CROSSES CHANNEL\nBig Developments May Come Soon,\nSays Former Calgarlan\u2014Recruit.\nIn9 In Britain Lively.\nRecruiting |n Britain is proceeding\nat a lively clip; the government is,\nhowever, taking the precaution of be\ning In a position to put its finger upon\nevery able-bodied man in the country\nand upon every item of supplies in\ncase ot necessity. British troops are\nconstantly crossing the channel into\nPrance these days.\nThese sidelights upon the situation\nin Great Britain are given in a letter\nreceived from a former Canadian,\nGeorge Peterkin. by his friend, C. Hay,\nCalgary.\nMr. Hay says:\n\"This country (rom end to end Is a\nlarge war camp, nothing but soldiers\neverywhere, flying machines along tbe\ncoast and men-of-war at sea. They are\ntalcing all tbe steam drifters for mine\nsweepers and scouts, in connection\nwith the reported raid the Germans\nare about to make. Tliero is no excitement. Everything seems to be\nabout as usual, although all aro of\none mind tbat there is only one wav,\nand that is to fight to a finish, put\nGefThany on Its back and settle It for\ngood. You can heard queer stories\nfrom the wounded soldiers and others\nreturned from the front. Everything\nIs 'being done to make the soldiers\ncomfortable. They are the best fed\nclothed and cared for who are at thc\npresent time in the field.\n\"You will see by the papers thai\nKitchener does not think conscription\nnecessary, as recruits are coining forward as fast ns they can be trained,\nTbey are everywhere you go. In\nnuchan street station n detachment\nloaded up a train, while the plpen\nstood on the platform playing for all\nthey were worth, and then got in after. Tbey changed at Perth, nnd I\nthink they were going to Fort George,\nThere are hundreds in Elgin and\n1-eith, but tbey will be going sou\nwhen the others go to France. I was\nspeaking to an officer ot the Black\nWatch (Capt. Allan), and1 he tells me\nthere Is only one officer of the original lot left at the front and fit for\nduty, so you can see how that regiment suffered. It Is great to hear\nabout it and how some of the Germans\nare dirty fighters. They are not all\ntbe same, however. There have been\na lot of men home .for Christmas and\nothers for the New Year previous to\ngoing to France. At that they may\nnot be going there. Some think it\nmay be Belgium. We will havo to\nwait for developments, however, as\nKitchener is not the man to give the\nshow away.\n\"At the beginning of the war yon\nwill remember about a French gen\noral being shot. Me kept back Kitclv\nener's despatches for two days and\nwas the cause of the great losses at\nMons, and afterward as his orders\nwere that they had always to have\ntrenches dug in the rear and ready In\ncase tbey had to fall back. Kitchener\ncrossed to France and informed the\nFrench cabinet and Joffre tbat if tlio\ngeneral was not court-martialed he\nwould withdraw every British soldier\nTbe result was he was shot and sev\neral others were reduced for not giv\nIng the support promised thc British\nand leaving them to extricate them\nselves or be annihilated.\nTak'ng Roll Call cf Abie-Bodied.\n\"They are taking a list of all men\ncf fighting age throughout tbe coun\ntry, and, if necessary, will call then\nup, as there will be a bill passed or\nmartial law declared.\nThere are about -T'0 from this place,\nwith a population of about -MOO. There\nwilt be something doing shortly now\nwhen they get a move on. and I hope\nthey will give them fits when they gel\nstarted.

For this reason he had gone\nto Shorcham to gain further experience. ::-:l \u25a0 ' \u2022'\u25a0 . \" '\u25a0 \u25a0\nHis previous knowledge of aviation\n\u2022was gained In ihe United States.\nMETAGAMA SISTER SHIP\nTO LINER MISSANABIE\nNew Canadian Pacific Steamer Will\nBegin Maiden Voyage March 26\n\u2014Pronounce It Met-au-gau-man.\nLong before the Metagama, the sister ship to the Mlssanable, sails from\nLiverpool for St. John, N. -R., on her\nmaiden voyage on March 26 she win\nbe even more familiar to Canadians\nthan the MlsB'anabie. A tremendously tall and long box was delivered\n.Ian. 6 at the Montreal office of the\nCanadian Pacific Railway company's\nAtlantic steamship lines. There was\nremoved from it, lutuct and entire,\na beautiful and faithful model of the\nyew steamship.\nThe crowds that Immediately began\nto pour into the office to see at close\nquarters the model which they had\nseen through the window were loud\nin expression of their admiration of\nthe new steamship. The model is\nover 12 feet long and Is on a table\nof such height that a person can get\na view of all the outside parts of a\nmodern steamship .better than by seeing tihe steamship Itself, because every\npart is in sight, every port-hole, every\ncrane, batch, cowl, funnel, ratline,\ndeck, stairway, screw and device for\nlowering lifeboats in case of need,\nas well as the replica of every life\nboat, the rails on which they run and\ntho davits on which they swing. It is\na remarkably handsome boat and evidently 'built to ensure the ultimate\ncomfort and convenience of its 'passengers with every regard for safety\naud steadiness of passage.\nThe Metagama has accommodation\nfor 520 cabin and 1200 'third-class 'passengers. The name ts of Algonquin\norigin, t'be correct pronunciation be\nIng \"Me-ta-\u00aba-nia.\" with the accent on\nthe second syllable, and all the \"a's\"\npronounced as in \"Paul.''

CANADA'S SHARE IN .>\n4> GREAT INVENTION 4>\n4> 4>\n4.^4444,4>$,&S^^i.4.$4i44&4>4>4>\n(Toronto Mull and Empire.)\nOn Monday -afternoon Dr. Alexander\nGraham Bell, Inventor of the telephone, seated in a Now York office,\nspoke over the telephoue to Thomas\nA. Watson, seated in San Francisco.\nRecent Improvements In the telephone\nhave thus made it possible to hold\nconversations across the continent as\neasily as if the speakers were only\na few miles apart, it is said that\nthere was not the slightest difficulty\nIn the inventors understanding each\nother. Another remarkable feature\nof the achievement Is that the two\nspeakers on Monday, the first ever\nto hold transcontinental conversations, were also the first to hear the\nsound of a human voice over a telephone wire. The first occasion wus\nin Boston on the afternoon of J tine 2,\n1875, Watson being at that time the\nassistant to Dr. Bell; Ho has given\na very interesting account of tho birth\nof the telephone, in which he says:\n\"Bell and I were hard at. work on\nthe same old joh of testing some\nmodifications of Bell's harmonic, telegraph, I had charge of the transmitters ns usual, setting llieni squealing ono nfter the other, wilillo Bell\nwas returning the receiver springs,\none hy one, pressing them against, his\near, as he had done so many times\nbefore. One of the transmitter\nsprings I was attending to stopped\nvibrating and I plucked It to start, it\nagain. It didn't start, and 1 kept on\nplucking it, when suddenly I heard a\nshout from Bell iu the uext. room, and\nthen out ho came with a rush, demanding: 'What did you do then?\nDon't change anything! Let me see.'\nI (mowed hlm. II was very simple.\nThe make and break points of the\ntransmitter spring I was trying to\nstart had become welded together so\nthat when I snapped Hie spriug His\ncircuit had remained unbroken, while\nthat strip of magnetized steel hy its\nvibration over the pole of its magnet\nwus generating a current of electricity\nthat vuricd in Intensity precisely as\ntho alr was varying In density within\nhearing distance of that spring. For-\ntunntely the right man had Mint mechanism at his ear during that fleeting moment und instantly recognized\nthe transcendent importance of that\nmini sound thus electrically transmit\nted. Tho shout I heurd and his ex\neiteil rush into my room wero Ibe\nresult of that recognition. Tho speaking'telephone was horn nt that mo\nment. Hell knew perfectly well that\nthe mechanism that could transmit all\nthe complex vibration of one sound\ncoald do the same for any sound, even\nthat of speech.\"\nBell told me to mount a small\ndrum heini of coldbeuter's skin over\none of the receivers, join the centre\nof the drumhead to the free end of\nthe receiver spring and arrange a\nmouthpiece over tlio drumhead to talk\ninto. I followed these directions and\nhad the instrument ready for Its trial\nthe very next day. Tlio two rooms\nIn the attic wore too near together\nfor tho test, as our voices would bp\nheard through the alr, so I run a wire\nespecially for tho trial from one of\nthe rooms In the attic down two\nflights to tho third floor, where. 'Williams' main shop was. ending It nenr\nmy work bench nt tho hack of the\nbuilding. That was the first telephone line. I got more satisfaction\nfrom the experiment than Mr, Bell\ndid, for, shout my best, I could not\nmako him hear me, but I could hear\nIlls voice nnd almost catch tho words.\nI rushed upstairs and told lilni what\nI had hoard. It was enough lo show\nhlm thut he was on the right track\nand before he left Hint night he gave\nme directions for several Improve-\nments in Iho telephones I was to have\nready for the next trial. My pride\nhas been tempered to quite a bearable degree by my realization that\nthe reason why I heard Bell in thnt\nfirst, trial of the telephone, and -he did\nnot hear me, wus tho vast superiority\nof his strong, vibratory tones overall,\nsound my undeveloped voice was then\nable lo utter.\nCanada's Share In Invention.\n'Canada's peculiar interest in the\ntelephone is due to the fact that al\nthough the human voice was first\ntransmitted electrically In Boston, the\nfirst real telephone was built iu this\ncountry, the line being from Paris\nto Brantford, where Dr. Bell's father\nlived. As soon as the Boston experiments had satisfied him that he\nwas on the right track, Dr.. Bell returned to Brantford.

The tlrst\ntransmission was only one way. but\non this occasion, aa Dr. Bell litis said,\nspeech was transmitted a distance or\nseveral miles for the first time. The\nnoi'son at thc other end could not reply, hut had to telegraph hack by another line, lie made a second experiment between Brantford and Mount\nPleasant, a distance of five miles, anil\nthen gave an exhibition from his father's house, which was at Tutela\nheights, between four and five tulles\nfrom Brantford.\nFirst Real Conversation.\nDr. Bell continues: \"It was about\na quarter-mile from (he house to the\nnearest telegraph wire. We cleaned\nthe town out. or stovepipe wire and\nplaced It on the fence from my\nfather's house nnd then attached it\nto the telegraph wire lending Into\nBrantford.
