Salem, Feb. 12, 10.55 p.m. Professor A. Graham Bell, the inventor of that wonderful instrument the telephone, which has caused so much interest in the scientific world, and which is now becoming so popularly known, lectured on his inven tion at Lyceum Hall this evening. The lecture was one of a course of the Essex Institute, and shant 500 persons were present. The lecture was very well receiv. ed, and the frequent and long-continued applause showed that the audience ap preciated fully the wonderful uses and the experiments made with the machines. Pro- fessor Bell briefly explained the construc tion of the instrument, and then sketched his studies of the system of transmitting sounds. He explained that it was his first attempt before an audienge to try these differant experiments. An intermittent aurzent was first sent from Boston by Mir Thomas A. Watson, Professor Bell's as gociate. This caused a noise very similar to a horn from the telephone. The Morse telegraph alphabet was then sent by musical sounds, and could be heard throughout the hall. The audience burst into loud applause at this experiment. A telephonic organ was then put into operation in Boston, Should Auld Acquaintance be Forget,"

At this point Professor Bell then explained and "Yankee Doodle" were readily heard through the hall and beartily recognised, how he learnt to transmit the tones of the human voice, and paid a grateful tribute to Mr Watson, Professor Bell asked Mr Watson for a song, and "Auld Lang Syne" came from the mouthpiece of the instru- ment almost before his words were ended, Mr Watson was then asked to make a speech to the audience. He expressed himself as having more confidence eighteen miles away than if he were present. His specah was as follows Ladies and Gentlemen-It gives me great pleasure to
