WILL HONOR EARLY ELECTRIC WIZARD Joseph Henry’s Works to Be Commemorated. Albany, N. V.—In the summer of 1832, one hundred years ago, a young man, then a professor at Albany acad emy, .was about to startle the scien tific world with his greatest and first experiment in the held of electrical research. Seated in his laboratory in the acad emy building at Albany, Joseph Henry, manipulated queer gadgets and coils. From his laboratory a wire was stretched to the top of the old Van Vechten building. Out of this queer combination of gadgets, coils and wires, came a spark. A shout rose from the spectators atop the Van Vechten building, informing Henry his experiment had been successful. Rap id communication between distant places had’been established and a new field for research opened. The sessions of the National Acad emy of Sciences this year will be com memorated to the work of the Albany Inventor and experimenter. His name has been linked with that of Faraday, British pioneer in the field of elec tricity. The Smithsonian institution, with Henry as its first secretary, became a center for scientific research. As most of his experiments took place around 1832, the National Academy of Sciences and the Smithsonian institu tion have chosen this year to celebrat^ the centennial In an effort ip restore to the public eye, one of the greatest of- aH scientific figures. . Henry was born in Albany in 1799. His early life would hardly lead any one to believe that be was destined to blaze the trail in the field of science. He read novels, poems and was very fond of dramatics and the stage. He was the organizer of a juvenile theat rical company and writer of many plays for the company. He becaihe a professor of mathe matics in 1820 in Albany academy frpm which be bad been graduated years before. It was here that he seriously took up the experiments which were later to make his name famous In scientific circles. By means of an electrical impulse he was able to ring a bell attached to the end of 8,000 feet of wire. The bell is now in t^ie Albany Institute of History and Art. A magnet he used to lift 3,000 |>ounds has been tuened over to the Smithsonian insti tution. About this time his experi ments attracted the attention of Princeton university where he joined the faculty and remained 14 years until bis death. % I want my Telephone put back, please" Almost daily people who . discontinued their telephones during re cent months are ordering their service restored. They found that the small cost of the service had been repaid many times each month in convenience, in time and actually in money saved. , Others missed the close and personal contact with friends made possible by telephone service. Still others men tioned the loss of many pleasant, im promptu social gatherings when their friends were unable to reach them by telephone. It is all true—what these subscriber friends of ours sayj Telephone service costs so little and it# value is so greet that it really doesn’t pay to try to do» without It - S O UTH ERN Telephone fand i* Telegraph S.
