The Popular Science Monthly - A.G. Bell Article, 1880

Item Details

Description

1880 issue of "Popular Science Monthly"

Published in NYC beginning in 1872 and still in existence as "Popular Science."

Volume XVII; Number VI; October 1880

Illustrated with B&W engravings. The last pages contain advertisements of all sorts, some with engraved illustrations. In all approximately 152 pages including index plus 16 pages of ads at rear.

Description: "Founded in 1872 by Edward Youmans to disseminate scientific knowledge to the educated layman. There was a great Tsunami of Scientific invention & investigation in the late 19th Century in both America & Europe. The public became interested in these marvelous new wonders & wanted information understandable to the interested layman, about them, which periodicals like Popular Science Monthly" were founded to satisfy. Youmans had previously worked as an editor for the weekly "Appleton's Journal" and persuaded them to publish his new journal. Early issues were mostly reprints of English scientific periodicals. "Popular Science Monthly" became an American outlet for the writings and ideas of the "new" sciences & inventions of Charles Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley, Louis Pasteur, Henry Ward Beecher, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Thomas Edison, John Dewey and James McKeen Cattell. This issue contains an early telephony treatise by Alexander Graham Bell entitled: "On The Production Of Sound By Light." It was not until the late 1880's that Eugene Lauste, considered by many to be the Father of Sound on Film, having read the description of Bell's work, conceived the idea to photograph the sound modulated light beam and reproduce the photographed record by means of the selenium cell. An article by Thomas Bolas: "India Rubber Industries",which mentions Henry Goodyear's recently discovered "vulcanization" process which revolutionize the usefulness of rubber; India Rubber then being the most plentiful form of rubber available at that time. "Popular Science Monthly" was published continuously from 1872 to the present. It is loaded with scientific discoveries of that day.
