Cor. nell to Attempt Irterpretating the Morse Code by Ear-The Ciscovery That Abolished the Use of the '1 ape. Ezra Cornell is known In hLtory t the father of Cornell univerIty, a. one4 of the n.n who eli-d to buil the irst tel;:;h e!!:e and. as :an ar dent ortanizer of telerapn 'ystems a the ear'y days. being ru:ea: in the fermation of the ; :w Western Union Tele;ra;h cop-any. Ilis son. Aloazo 1. CorneUl. be::e ultimately vice president of the WVt cm Union and go'ernvr of New York state-hith comnmerc!al and political honors'. Yet ie once confessed to me that be felt IIe should be credited with the additonal lhenor of havi:: made the discovery that telegraph messages could be read by ear. and le seemed to take more pride In his part In bring Ing this abnut than he did in any of his other achIevements. "I was trained as a telegraph opera tor." said Mr. Cornell In telling me the story. "I suppose I took to telegraphy naturally because of my father's deep and large Interests In the then new mode of cotmunication. Anyway. I learned the Morse key easily. and I was. in fact. very fond of telegraphing from both the practical and the scien tilfc standpoInts. "One afternoon. sometime in the ear ly eaftie%.wben I was stationed at Al bany. N. Y., there was an unusual in rush of newspaper dispatches-I was In charge of the press key-and in the midst of the task of recelving them I found to my consternation that I was out of tape. Before taking my seat before the key I had neglected to re pl.enlsh the tape reel. "There was a bountiful supply of tape in the cellar of the building. but "it was a long trip there-there were no elevators in those days-and I knew that to go there I would waste pre clous time. And there were those anx I ous newspaper men hanging over my shoulder. "Suddenly. as I fished about mental ly for the quickest way out of my dilemma. this thought popped Into my head: 'You don't need any tape. Half the tizc you don't look at It when the dispatches are coming In before you write them out. You trust to your ears to teI what the Instrument say',. Why not do so nowY !nststiy I dd termied to see whether o not I cld Ike the dipathes by sound alose. "I put my fingers on the key and broke In on New York. whence the dispatches were coming. 'Send rather slowly- and very distinctly.' I asked the Sman at the other end of the wir. ie at once bega.n to do so-not without some curiosity as to my reason. I found out later. "But I didn't think of that at the time, for I was glowing all over with ,the knowledge that I could write out the dispatches-and write them cor rectly, for they made sense-by simply listening to the sounds that the key made. "Thus 1 continued taking the dis.-' patches to the very end. Then the New York operator called me. -what [are you doing up therey he asked. Thby did you want me to send slowly and distinctlyr "I answered that I h-xd said goodby to the telegraphb tape forever a~nd told im of the discovery I had made. IIe was immediately Interested. -Send me slowly and very distinctly Efteen or twenty words. and i'll see whether or netI I cat do the same thing,' he re uested. "I did so, full of contidence. and a little later there came to me this mes sage: 'Ive done It too. Some of the other boys say they can. I predict that within a month there won't be an inch of tape used in tbe New York ofice.' "Years later," added Mr. Cornell. "1 was told that about the timea that 1 Idiscovered for myself a new and revo lutionary method of receiving tele graph messages the same method was also discovered by an operator in the min oflice In Pittsburg. I have no doubt that this Is true. Sooner or later the discovery was bound to be made not only ir. one, but several ofices. But I have always felt that I was the first to make the discovery and should be credited with It in tele graph~c history."-Bostonl Globe. Waeigthe Hors.
