__**His Invention-**__
He invented the telophone. The telophone was not like the ones we have today. The telophone that was used was actually one on the wall. you had to turn a little crank then you could talk. he actually got his idea from his deaf mother. He made a theory that when you talk your ears pick up vibations. the phone that had a bell on the end. then you would into a bell connected to a tube that was inside of the bell. the tube would have other tubes connected to it and cause the little ones to vibrate. this would make sound waves.

**__Cool Facts-__**
He invented the first telephone. If thats not amazing enough then think of it this way. if he hadnt had ivented it then, we would probably just now have gotten the brick phone.

well... his mother was deaf and she drew and she did portrates. pretty cool huh? This is something gross, when alexzader and his brother were young they got a dead sheep and took the voice boz out of it and was able to make the voice box say " mama". = = = =
