The fntelligence which dispatch conveys to the ordinary mind might be that tba Bell Telephone patent had ex pired by limitation -and that the monopoly which the; grett American Belt Telephone Company has enjoyed lor years would be broken.

Ooe of them baa already expired and the last one lapsed Thb dsst patentc6ered the hand telephone or receiver. But there ia no telephone system that can be operated today satisfactorily without the battery transmitting carbon.

Upon this and all other transmitters the Bell Telephone Company hold the unexpired patents, which have yet ten or twelve years to There are numerous other improvements on the original telephone, which have been made by Professors BjIJ, JSdleori, Blake, Berliner "and Han-ning. In this, country the patents on all of these improvements are owned by thefieU Company. -s despite the fact that from year to year-patents on the' telephone wil lapse there will ways be some improvement remaining, which is still protected by the Federal Patent laws. It. is- the existence jot tbeee patent held by Professors Bell, Edison and Berliner, that haa proved a stumbling block to alt; opposition; lines iai: this country.

The Bell Company have so secured their interests, as to make any rivalry a dangerous undertaking and a financial impossibility as far as success is concerned.
