The telegraph was invented ______ .
Then in the 1830s came the invention of the telegraph.
The telegraphist could send messages from lands hundreds of miles away more quickly than a horseman could deliver a letter from the next village. Of course, mistakes were made and some of them were very funny. Sending a telegram to London from the other end of the world was at first very costly. So telegraphists used as few words as possible. Sometimes words were misspelt and the telegrams were difficult to understand. Here is a famous example. When the very first railway line was started in Queensland, Australia, the governor himself dug the first piece of earth. This was an important event. So a telegram was sent to Lon don. It read, "Governor Queensland turns (digs) first sod (piece of earth)." But when the telegram arrived, it read, "Governor Queensland twins’ first son." The newspapers then printed the exciting news that the Governor’s wife had had twins, the first one being a boy! This came as a great surprise to everybody, because the governor was not married!
