Prosecuting Attorney Em- American Bell Telephone and Telegraph Campany has paid him, instead of Ju"0,- ' 1X0 as originally .tated, nearly $300, yiQ for his recent invention of a sys tem by which an ocean telephone is .nade possible. This is in addition to the annual royalty of $13,000 a year during the life nf the patents. "The Bell company has tested th invention for six months," he said. 'and express themselves as perfectly satisfied with it. The question of o ocean telephone solved from a scien tific standpoint and there now remains only the commercl.il question. There, Is no doubt that as soon as the financial part of the matter is set tied It will be perfectly possible to tele phone to San Francisco and London and to send cable messages to Europe at faf less cost than at present." Briefly," the professor added, "tha question had been to overcome resist ance. In the Pacific ocean cables the line has so many obstacles lo battle with that It Is comparatively slow In traveling and becomes very weak be- 3000 miles away." His lnention, when applied to land; wires, he explained, will enable mes sages to be sent much further without relaying than at present and will make conversation pcssible between New York and San Francisco.
