The History of the Telephone (电话发展史)
Thirty-five short years, and presto! the newborn art of telephony isfullgrown. Three million telephones are now scattered abroad in foreigncountries, and seven millions are massed here, in the land of its birth.
So entirely has the telephone outgrown the ridicule with which, asmany people can well remember, it was first received, that it is now inmost places taken for granted.
