Oliver Kelder, 10d ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL ( 1847 - 1922 ) INVENTION of the TELEPHONE. Alexander Bell was born a Scot, on the 3rd March, 1847, at 16 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. His middle name of Graham he added at a later date to give his name more ' class '. Educated at Edinburgh's Royal High School and at the Universities of Edinburgh and London, Bell was interested in helping deaf people. His father, Alexander Melville Bell, was famous in his own right for his work in founding the science of phonetics and devising a Visible Speech Alphabet. After two of his brothers had died of TB, the family moved to Canada in 1870, in an effort to rebuild their lives. He began teaching at a deaf school in Boston, and lodged with Thomas Saunders, and met Gardiner Hubbard, whose daughter, Mabel, had been deaf since the age of five. Quite unable to speak, she became the pupil of
by means of electric signals. Antonio Meucci - An early voice communicating device was invented around 1854 by Antonio Meucci, (who called it a telettrofono.) In the 1880s Meucci was credited with the early invention of inductive loading of telephone wires to increase long-distance signals. Unfortunately, serious burns from an accident, a lack of English, and poor business abilities resulted in Meucci failing to develop his inventions commercially in America. Alexander Graham Bell is commonly believed as the inventor of the first practical telephone. Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and educated at the universities of Edinburgh and London. He immigrated to Canada in 1870 and to the United States in 1871. He was an early student of sound and speech, inspired, perhaps, by the fact that his mother, Eliza, was almost totally deaf and his father, Melville, developed the first international phonetic alphabet
Arriving in Portsmouth in June of that year with less than £10 to his name, he set up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice was initially not very successful; while waiting for patients, he again began writing stories. His first significant work was A Study in Scarlet, which appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and featured the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes, who was partially modelled after his former university professor, Joseph Bell. Future short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes were published in the English Strand Magazine. Interestingly, Rudyard Kipling congratulated Conan Doyle on his success, asking "Could this be my old friend, Dr. Joe?" Sherlock Holmes, however, was even more closely modelled after the famous Edgar Allan Poe character, C. Auguste Dupin. While living in Southsea he played football for an amateur side (that disbanded in 1894), Portsmouth Association Football Club
The president offered the young man the job. Almost at once Davy left for his tour and took faraday with him. In 1833 he became a professor of chemistry. Faraday was also director of laboratory. During his life he discovered how to make an electrical motor, he built the first generator, which he called dynamo. He also was giving many popular lectures for the general public. He did great work. The result of his work made it possible for Morse to invent electromagnetic telegraph, for Bell to invent the telephone and for Edison to make electrical light. He requested during life that he be buried under a gravestone of the most ordinary kind. He was very smart man, who discovered many new things; despite of it he refused an offer of knighthood. He preferred to be plain Michael faraday. 6) NEW YEARS CELEBRATIONS New Year's Eve is a time for merriment. At midnight bells ring, horns blow, and friends exchange kisses. Everyone stays up late to celebrate the arrival of another January
their country -- Angria -- and Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about theirs -- Gondal. Charlotte continued her education at Roe Head, Mirfield, from 1831 to 1832, where she met her lifelong friends and correspondents, Ellen Nussey and Mary Taylor. During this period (1833), she wrote her novella The Green Dwarf under the name of Wellesley. In May 1846, Charlotte, Emily and Anne published a joint collection of poetry under the assumed names of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. In June 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls, her father's curate, and became pregnant very soon thereafter. Her health declined rapidly during this time, and according to Gaskell, her earliest biographer, she was attacked by "sensations of perpetual nausea and ever-recurring faintness." Charlotte and her unborn child died March 31, 1855. Jane Eyre, published 1847 Shirley, published 1849 Villette, published 1853
years later in 1855. After the Civil War, he brought out Life and Times of Frederick Douglass in 1881, which he revised in 1892. Travels to Europe Douglass spent two years in Great Britain and Ireland and gave several lectures, mainly in Protestant churches or chapels. Some were crowded to suffocation such was his draw, 5 as for example at his hugely popular London Reception Speech held at Alexander Fletcher's Finsbury Chapel in London in May 1846. He remarked that there he was treated not "as a color, but as a man." He met and befriended the Irish nationalist Daniel O'Connell. When Douglass visited Scotland, the members of the Free Church of Scotland, whom he had criticized for accepting money from U.S. slave-owners, demonstrated against him with placards that read, "Send back the nigger". Douglass was able to win back his freedom after British sympathizers paid the

I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eight grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of the
Revolution. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an American ambulance officer's disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experiences as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as the background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), the story of an old fisherman's journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. Hemingway - himself a great sportsman - liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters - tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation lose hope and faith
