One critic has advanced tJ idea that the was is so horrible, so destructive and ao inhuman and its psychological fleet so terrible that writers are ef fected by it and thus prevented from Showing their finest" and best talents. Certain writers have erased to sho at" all their kindlier, gentler natures in their literary products and are showing almost wholly "the blood and ion type' V of literary products. This is particularly true of Kipling. From early in the war, when he declaired there were two kinds of persons, "Aormana and human beings," his words about Germany have been heat ed by bate. "In "Franee at War," written on what he terms "the frontier of civ- . iliiation" the Allies trenches striking example of hostile feeling is given by Mr. Kipling from the chap ter on the destruction of Rherms: "Two great doors had been blown - inward by the blast of a shell in the ArehbishoD's garden, till they had oent grotesquely to the curve of eask. ; There they jammed.

Out of 428 com munieations he found that 400 of them urged him to support the Presi dent and 28 of them asked him to vote for the' warning ' resolution. ' "The backfire movement in the South," continues the correspondent "has developed greatly within the last few day.

Whs Baud ftnt ' 'V : Intelligent Meesai, Boston, March 10. It was just forty years ago today, on March 10, 1876, that the telephone first trans mitted intelligible words.. The men on both ends of the wires on that important occasion are living. Tbey have seen the great invention spread its way around the world; they have seen the expansion of distance trans mission until the American continent was crowed by wires over which San Franeiseans can talk with New Yorkers. They have seen wireless telephony developed as another won der of their day. But no event in their lives will surpass in importance ine quiet scene in an attic workshop at 109 Court Street, in Boston, when forty years sgo today Alexander Graham Bell spoke into his mechanism, and his assistant, listening at the other end of the wires in the next room, heard the inventor s voice clearly and distinctly. Ibe listening man was Thomas A. Watson, now a not ed ship-builder, who was Bell's aide and confidential assistant in tbe long painstaking experiments that had led up to victory. Mr. Watson has told the story himself: I was the onlv witness to Boll's accomplishment. I heard the first words ever transmitted distinctly over a wire bv an electric current These words were my own name. The first time that the telephone ever uttered intelligible words was on the 10 of March. 1876. and it certainly to be res-retted that on so epochal an occasion the instrument was not on dress parade, there is nothing in the history of the tele phone to match the famous first mes- sage of the Morse telegraph 'What Hath God Wrought.' "The first recorded massage of the telephone was commonplace in the extreme. It was simply 'Mr. Watson, come here, I want you.' Probably if Mr. Bell at that time had thought that he was making history he would have been better prepared. "After the first communication, the improvement was more rapid, and in the early summer of 1876, it bad become possible to converse fluently between two rooms. "On the afternoon of June 2. 1875, an accidental discovery during our experiments confirmed Mr. Bell's theories that exact sound could be transmitted. Bell's grand idea of a current of electricity which shall vary in intensity as the air varies in intensity during the production of a sound was nearer practical re alization by our heaven-sent accident. "Mr.-vBell, in an endeavor to lm prove- the working of the receivers was retiming one of their springs to ascertain if the pitch wis correct tie bad pressed it against his ear and was listening to the faint sound of the intermittent current passing through the magnet. All at once the spring of the transmitter in my room stopped vibrating, and I snapped it with my finger to start it. Instant ly an excited shout came from the other- room, and Mr. Bell rushed in demanding what I had done. I ex plained, and he asked me to do it again. I snapped the spring the rest of that afternoon and so late in the evening that the janitor, forgetting ua, locked ns in. "What happened was this: the spring that I had plucked had be come permanently magnetized and was in condition by its vibration to generate the sought for undulatory electric current. This it did when snapped it. . And when the current passed through the magnet of the receiver which was pressed against Mr. Bell's ear, it set forth into vi bration the spring of that instrn ment, which spring, being confined against his eait was in a condition to vibrate as a diaphragm and not merely as a freed reed. ... "The trained acoustician at once perecived that he heard loudly' and clearly, not merely the pitch due to the length of tha spring I was pluck ing, but the peculiar soft twang of that identical spring,, and recognis ed instantly that the current carry ing such . a: sound was realizing his ipng cherished ideas. "He saw that be had here the in strument he had so- long sought; that if this apparatus could transmit the quality or timber of one sound it could lie made to do the asms, for any sound or any. combination, of sounds, and consequently, that most complex vibration the sound of the human voice. "But the real invention of the speaking, telephone was no accident That dates from the mental concep tion of the undulatory electric cur rent. The plueking of the spring that afternoon we may call an acci dent but the man with a clear con ception in his mind was . there to grasp its meaning and .turn that ac cident into a great historical event Apples fell before Newton was born and cows ate them. A,-:;' "From that afternoon of June 2 1875, the goal was in sight, r Mr. Bell resigned his teaching position at Bos ton University, and gave all his at tention to his ; experiment work. Through long and wearisome eourse of research, Mr. Bell's enthssiasro never slackened, ; Finally, on March 10, 1876, he succeeded in transmit- ting til human ' voice dearly tad thoroughly over tbe wire. - "The apparatus was ready for a try-out ia the following October, and the dm of a private telegraph line belonging to the Walworth Man- niactomg Company was obtaaed. Thiswire ran fro m their office in Kil- by Street, Boston to their factory in Combridge, Basa., across the Cbarlei River, about two miles distant The evening of October 0, 1876", waa (bus es for the test Mr. Bell took charge of the Kilby Street end, and I was at tbe Cambridge end. On receiving the signal agreed upon through the telegraph instrument I disconnected it from the circuit, and connected the telephont instruments.' I listened for Mr. Bell's voice. I could hear only the iaintest murmur, reminding me of the first sounds I heard in the early experiments more than a year before then. "for a wane it seemed that we were doomed td failure on this test. As a last resort, I traced the wires, and found a high-resistance tele graph relay in the circuit I eut this out, ran back to the telephone and listened. That relay had been the sole cause of the trouble. For clear ly and distinctly from the instru ments came the sound of Mr. Bell's voice, and we found we could talk with perfect ease, although we were two miles apart. "We wrote down what each one said, and later comparison showed an almost perfect accuracy of trans mission. By this means the first conversation ever carried on by telephone was preserved." EDISON THANKS HIS MOTHER. Her Faith in Him Gave the Inventor an Incentive to work. Columbus Dispatch.. During the short time that he at tended school Thomas A. Edison was nearly always at the foot of his class. On one occasion a teacher remarked to tbe inspector that the boy was "addled" and that trying to tutor him was a mere waste of time. The youth overheard the remark. He repeated it to his mother, who promptly took tbe child back to tbe school and told the teacher he did not know what be was talking about and that the lad had more brains than the teacher. Referring to this critical period of his existence, Mr. Edison once said: "Had it not been for my mother's appreciation and faith in me, I should very likely never have been an inventor. She was so true, so sure of me, that I felt that I had someone to live for; someone I must not disappoint. The memory of her will always be a blessing to me." List of Letters.
