MAKING A FLYING MACHINE.

The Bell Telephone Man Is Now Working on a New Invention. Professor Alexander Graham Bell is not idly enjoying the fame and wealth which the invention of the tele-

phone has won for him. He is now secretly woi’kdng on a new invention, which i s rumored to be a flying machine, regarding whicli Prof. Bell is as mute as a sphinx. The world may again be startled by a marvelous contrivance, the result of hi s genius

and labor. Prof. Bell’s career is a romantic one. His wife is totally deaf, and it was while experimenting on mechanical appliances to relieve her that he discovered the secret of the transmitter of the telephone. His devoted attention to his wife is a marked trait of Prof. Bell’s character. Notoriety is distasteful to him, and he leads a quiet life away from the centers of business and society. Prof Bell was born in Scotland in 1847, and came to the United States in 1872.
