ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHING.
Kankakee, Ill.
When, where, and by whom was the first electric telegraphing done?
A. B. Dale.
Answer.—Professor Morse sent the first message by the electric telegraph, from Washington to Baltimore, May 27, 1844. The printing telegraph was suggested in 1837 by Alfred Vail, and a model was made by Wheatstone four years later, but this process of telegraphy has never gone into general use.
