Dr. Pupin’s Discoveries.

Dr. Pupin of Columbia university iB reported to have sold his inventions In telephony for $200,000 cash and $7,500 a year during the life of his patents. Whether these figures be accurate or not, it is generally conceded by experts that Dr. Pupin has made discoveries likely to revolutionize the art of transmitting signals by wire. He seems to have found a method of lessening the resistance opposed by metals to the electric current. The importance of such a discovery to long-distance telephony and submarine telegraphy will be readily appreciated.
