Tliat Came to a Fort Worth, ar&n "In tlie Dead of Xish-t. Over 3 years ago Fred H. Brown began the work of studying out to an invention an idea which had come to hiui that a telephone and telegraph instrument could be made which would work wilhouta battery. For 3 years lie toiled and thought, but seemed no nearer the goal than when he started, until one niidit in February last, about 2 o'clock in tho inorninj:, he awoke suddenly from sleep and found the invention in his mind. Cold as it was, he jumped out of bed, lighted a lamp, and be gan to work. In a few months he had perfected an instrument and tried it at homo. Ho at once de termined to go to New Yoik, but before his departure, sold the right to England to Messrs. George J. Frankel and G. H. Shuttler; to France and Germany to W. E. Keye, who a week later accompa nied Mr. Brown East. The electricians of Mr. Gould and Mr. Mackay inspected the invention can'fully, and then "the Western Union Telegraph Company and Bell Telephone Company sent men to Washinjjton to see if the method could not be patented ; but Mr. Brown had provided against all contingen cies, and had patents covering every thing. The immense value of tho invention was seen by J. J. Safeley, a capitalist, who brought it to the notico of Austin Corbin, a million aire. He formed a company, and through Mr. Safeley bought tho right to the United states lor ?l,000,00d, paying $259,000 to Mr. Brown in cash and giving ample security for the payment of $750,000. Mr. Brown returned to Fort Worth early this week, disposed of his property here, a-ul on Thursday night le.t with his fami'y for Now "York, where he will reside. When he left New York, Bonanza Mai-key was negotiating for Canada, which is held by the inventor at $l, 000,000. Mr. Brown also brought word that a wealthy man wanted England, and was willing to pay a large sum for it, which will induce Messrs. Frankel and Shuttler to no Ea-t in 30 or G3 days to look after their interests. Mr. Ka'ye, the owner of the riht for Germany and France, is now in New York, and will leave in a few days for Europe. When Mr. Brown reaches New York, a cable test will be made over 5,800 miles of cable, twice the dis tance across the Atlantic. Instru ments for this teat will lie completed earty next week. A test was made in New York not long ago over 8 U miles of wire, and the instruments worked as dear as a bell. In a few days 100 miles of wire will be stretched on Long Island for tests of all descriptions. As soon as possible, the company in New York will get to work and organize sub companies m all tho btates. when a revolution in tele phoning and telegraphing will surely result. Tho invention is a magneto tele phone and telegraph without battery a new system of transmitting tho sound of the human voice without using batteries of any kind. Brown has had a hard time perfecting his invention, being refused aid by those to whom he applied. A short time auo, Edwin F. Masterson, a lawyer of means, and well acquainted with prominent Eastern telegraph and telephone men, Faw tho instru ment ,ested, and at once wrote to a director of the Western Union Tele graph Company and president of the Overland Telephone Company, set ting forth the wonderful workings of the invention. The Western Union official went to General Charles A. Tinker, and asked him to issue in structions to some experienced man ager in or near Fort Worth, to have the instrument tested over the West ern Union lines, and to report to him at once. G. J. Frankel, manager here, received the instructions, and ordered the Cleburne manager to assist him. In the afternoon of June 21, at 1 o'clock, Mr. Frankel, Mr. Brown, the inventor, Mr. Masterson, J. H. Murphy, Robert L. Moore, operators, and a newspaper reporter, were in the Fort Worth office. Mr. Granger, an electrician, and C. M. Bander, manager at Cleburne, were in tho Cleburne office. The batteries on the line were cut off from the wire 33 miles long, and the magneto transmitter and receiver attached at both ends of the line. For 2 hours the test went on, all parties talking, and J. H. Murphy, by tapping on the diaphragm of the instrument telegraphing to the Cleburne opera tor and receiving an answer in the same manner. The voices of tho Cleburno parties were very distinct, and a marked feature was the ab- J senceof all foreign noises interfering ' with and incident to other systems, i The instrument used was com- i posed of 2 ounces of wire and a half I pound of steel, and can be made for 25 cents. The transmitter is I simply a horseshoe magnet, either 1 pole being covered with fine wire codad carefully. The armature is a disc of steel against which the voice is thrown, then transmitted through the masnet to tho wire. The receiver is similar, but has a pmaller magnet. It is claimed by the inventor that he cart transmit the voice around the world or across the Atlantic Ocean, there being no limit as far as dis tance is concerned, all that is neces sarv beins the increasing of the size I of magnets. Fort Worth Democrat. aioralitles. If we had lost our own chief good, other people's good would remain, and that is worth trying for. It's a poor look out to come into the world to make your fellow-creatures worse off instead of better. Good is slow; it climbs. Evil is swift; it descends. Why should wo marvel that it makes great progress in a short time. Thoughtlessness is never an ex cuse for wrong-doing; our hasty actions disclose, as nothing else does", our habitual feeling. If like wise men we look about us and beyond us, we shall find no cause for repining, but abundant cause for wonder and gratitude and praise. Base all your actions upon a prin ciple of right; preserve yoar integrity of character, and in doing this never reckon on the cost. Let an independent thinker show a fearless fidelity to his convictions, and the shafts of bigotry and envy fall helpless and harmless at his feet. Character is not cut in marble it is not something sold and unaltera ble. It i3 something living and changing, and may become diseased as our bodies do. Useful knowledge can have no enemies, except the ignorant; it cheribhes youth, delights the aged, is an ornament in prosperity, and yields comfort in adversity. It is injurious to ho in a hurry, and delay is often equally so; he is wise who does everything in proper time. Tardiness and precipitation are ex tremes equally to be avoided. Ex change. Of course, on such a bright morn ing she couldn't resist calling around to see how many of her friends had returned from vacation. ' Whv, Cicely, dear," she exclaimed, "so you, too, have returned?" "Ye-es, T I that ip, I haven't been away." "But you have a beautiful tau'on your complexion." "O yes. That cost mo twenty-five cents, while a vacation would have cost me $125. I'll have a new cloak this fall, and you'll have to fix up vour old one." ft was cool enough to put the cloaks on immediately.
