The Telephone at Work In Augusta.

The Telephone at Work In Augusta.
The Speaking Telephone, the wonderful though
simple invention of Prot. Bell is now on exhibi-
ton in Augusta, doing practical work between the
mill Of the Kennebec Land and Lumber Company,
in Pittston, and their office in this city Conver-
saton is carried on between the two places, a
distance of seven miles, with the greatest ease,
the voices of the individuals talking being at once
recognized. One distinctive feature of the inven
ton is, that so faithfully conveys the quality of
the voice. and transmits names. figures, foreign
words, or plain English, with equal facility, and
as fast as the person speaking would ordinarily
talk to one in the same room.
Along with its usefulness, the Telephone is very
simple, withal. The machine ia about fye inches
long, and weighs half pound.
1t may be encased in black walnut or other
wood work. small speaking tube runs to an
inside plate of smooth sheet iron. Two spools
placed upon each end of horse. oe magnet, are
wound with insulated wire, VIII ch connects with
the telegraph wire over which the sounds are
transmitted. These spools are placed in close
proximity to (though not quite touchug) the before
mentioned plate of sheet iron. When a person
talks at the orfce, every utterance produces dis
tnct vibration on the iron disk, which is commu-
nicated to the coled wire on the spools, and
thence call along the line enabling a person
with a similar instrument at Pittston to hear the
person talking in Augusta; and rice rsrsa The
connection with the telegraph wire is ests blshed
by means of the small wire on the coil, TO which
we have referred.
