Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. Inventor of the telephone, died at S o'clock this morning at Belnn Bresgh, his estate, near Baddeck. Although the Inventor had been In falling health for several months, he had not been confined to bed, and the end was unexpected. Late yesterday afternoon his condition became serious, and Dr. Kerr of Washington, a cousin of Mrs. Bell, a house guest, and a Sydney physi cian attended him.

Another daughter, Mrs. Ells Grosvenor. wife of a Washington magatlne editor, survives. Dr. Bell will be burled on top of Mount Belnn Bregh, a spot chosen by himself. Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments which he began with a dead man's ear less than BO years ago result In a meana of com munication for million of long distance telephone conversations daily In all parts of the world.

The Bell basic patent, known In the records at Washington as No. 174.446. haa been called the most valuable single patent ever issued In the whole history of invention. There are today over 11.000.000 tele phone Instruments through which billions of telephone conversations are carried on each year. Bell spent three yeara In night work In a cellar In Salem, Mass. His money needs "were met by Gardiner G. Hubbard, his future father-in-law, and Thomas Sanders, the owner of th cellar. As he worked he began to see the possibility of con veying speech over an electrlcalty charged wire the telephone. He used a dead man's ear for a trans mitter. "If I can make a deaf-mute talk," Bell had declared, "I can make iron talk." His first success came while test ing his instruments in his new quarters - In Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bell's assistant, had stuck a clooR spring at one end of the wire and Bell was electrified to hear the sound in another room. For 40 weeks the instrument strug gled, as it were, for human speech. Then on Maroh 10. 187. Watson be came almost Insane with Joy when he heard over the wire Bell's voice saying: "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you." pn hta 29th blrthdasf Bell received his patent. It was at the Centen nlal exposition held at Philadelphia two years later, where men of sci. ence tlje world over who had come to examine and study the numerous Inventions exhibited saw Professor Bell give a practical demonstration of the transmission of the human voice by electricity.
