It is the general belief that Professor S. F. B. Morse was tho inventor of electric telegraph. On tho contrary, hr was not tho originator of the principle. Researches were made in Leipsic by Winkler in 1746, Watson in London Le Monnier in Paris in 1747. electricians used fictional electricity, while no practical results came their experiments the principle was established. The earliest successful tele¬ graph was that of Le Sage in Geneva 1774. He constructed a machine twenty-four wires and was able to trans¬ mit intelligence over short circuits. About this time Lomond, a Frenchman, also attained practical results, using a single wire much after the method of Le Sage. In 1798 Salva constructed a machine at Madrid from which he ob¬ tained satisfactory results by using and grouping a succession of electrical dis¬ charges by means ot an electrical spar!:. Cavallo in 1797 and Ronaldo in 1810 tried transmitting intelligence over long circuits by using impulses attained from the discharge of Leyden jars, which proved a failure. In the year 1808 Som- mering began experimenting with the voltaic pile, and constructed a machine consisting of a series of voltameters, in which water was decomposed by tho gal¬ vanic current. He proposed to give sig¬ nals by the escape of gas from tho glass of the voltameter. The slowness working this method was fatal to com¬ utility. Dr. J. Redman Coxe, of Philadelphia, this period, invented a system of by tho decomposition of salts, which was taken up later practically worked out by Bain. In 1820 Oersted, of Copenhagen, discovered system of electro-magnetism, and at¬ were at once made to utilize it for His plan was afterward out by Ritchie and publicly ex¬ by Alexander, of Edinburgh. Baron Schilling, of CTonstadt, next ex¬ models of electrical machines, but died before his idea was practically out. (iau s and Weber,, of Got¬ made an attempt to carry out the idea in 183:3, but practically they the machine one of their own. erected a line and then associated with Professor Stienlieil, of who made it a writing telegraph using a perforated tape, much after manner of the present automatic sys¬ But in the early researches of and Weber are still embodied all principles of the mirror galvanometer in cable telegraphy. It is well to that the researches of all these cele¬ electricians were what called tc attention of Professor Morse the idea developing the system which has made name a household word, and has tho inventions of all foreign in¬ who preceded him to be thrown tho junk box or relegated to the shelves cf continental museums.
