The first sentence had not heard; the ipacene had not been filed; the demonstration of the telephone at the Centennial Ex- position had not been made. All these noteworthy events were to occur later in the year 1876. But already, at the beginning of the year, the basic principle of the new art had been discov. Bell’s experiments were approach- ing a successful issue. The inventor of the telephone lived to see the telephone in daily use by millions all over the world and to see thousands of develop- ments from his original discovery. If he had lived to this semi, centennial year, he would have seen over 16,000,000 telephones linked by 40,000,000 miles of wire spanning the American con- tinent and bringing the whole nation within intimate talking distance.
