ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL EXAMINING THE NIPPLES OF ONE OF HIS 



MULTI-NIPPLED SHEEP 



It is remarkable what a place the sheep house had in Mr. Bell's life. In it were used 

 his inventions for weighing and feeding and marking his multi-nippled flock. The news of 

 the birth of the lambs in it was wired to him every spring, no matter where he was. His 

 conviction that the forces of heredity were among the greatest of all forces was as firm as 

 his conviction that the vibrations of the human vo.xe could be transmitted electrically and 

 that the aerial highway overhead would be traversed by man. It is significant that those 

 eyes which could see so deeply into things should have made their last observations in this 

 sheep house. Dr. Grenfell was several times a visitor at Beinn Bhreagh on his way to 

 Labrador. He is here shown sitting on a box beside Dr. Bell. Photograph by Gilbert
