In a still more indirect way, he was helped by Morse's invention of the telegraph; by Faraday's discovery of the phenomena of magnetic induction; by Sturgeon's first electro-magnet; and by Volta's electric battery. All that scientists had achieved, from Galileo and Newton to Franklin and Simon Newcomb, helped Bell in a general way, by creating a scientific atmosphere and habit of thought.

But some philosophical people have been asking why three dimensions particularly why not another direction at right angles to the other three? and have even tried to construct a Four-Dimension geometry. Professor Simon Newcomb was expounding this to the New York Mathematical Society only a month or so ago.
It was ascertained at first by indirect means that the orbit of Neptune's satellite is inclined about 20° to his equator. Mr. Marth having drawn attention to the rapid shifting of its plane of motion, M. Tisserand and Professor Newcomb independently published the conclusion that such shifting necessarily results from Neptune's ellipsoidal shape.
"I'll do what I can," promised Dick faithfully, and he did much. Colonel Newcomb had already formed a strong attachment for this zealous and valuable young aide, and he did not forget the words that Dick said on every convenient occasion about the west.
And Binhart was of this type. He was suave and artful; he was active bodied and experienced in the ways of the world. What counted still more, he was well heeled with money. Just how much he had planted away after the Newcomb coup no one knew. But no one denied that it was a fortune. It was ten to one that Binhart would now try to get out of the country.
It was well for the young troops that part of them were already across, and, under the skillful leadership of Colonel Newcomb, Major Hertford, and three or four old, regular army sergeants, of whom the best was Whitley, were already forming in line of battle. "Kneel," shouted the colonel, "and fire over the heads of your comrades at the enemy!" The light was still growing brighter.
It will deceive them and we'll be half way across before they suspect the change." "A good plan, Mr. Mason," said Colonel Newcomb. "We'll try it." Word was quickly passed along the line that they should turn to the left as they approached the trestle, march swiftly down the slope, and dash into the stream.
Alan Hertford was about twenty-five and of fine manner and appearance. "Well spoken, Major Hertford," said the thoughtful miner, Colonel Newcomb. "Now, Dick, you can go, and remember that we are to start for Washington early in the morning and take a train there for the north.
He neither blinked nor showed the slightest abashment or hesitation as his soft eyes looked steadily into mine with all the innocence of an angel. "Zeke, where is the pen out of that case?" "Missr Newcomb," he said quietly, "I don't know nothin' about it." I repeated the question, looking into his face as sternly as I could.
