A Is speaking-tube provided with a
mouth-piece. q; y is metallic dia-
phragm which responds powerfully to
the vibrations Of the voice. In the cen
ter Of the diaphragm is secured snail
chiscl-shaped point. ID Is a druia re-
volyed by clock-work, and serves to
carry forward continuous fillet Of pa
per, having throughout its length and
exactly in the center 4 raised V-shaped
boss, such as would be made BY passing
a fillet Of paper through a Morse regis
ter with the lever constantly depressed.
The ehiscl-point attached 10 the dia-
phragm rests upon the sharp edge Of
the raised boss II now the paper be
drawn rapidly along, all the movements
Of the diaphragm will be recorded
by the indentation Of the
chisel-point into the delicate boss
il having no support underneath, Is
very easily indented; 20 do this, little or
no power is required to operate the
chiscl. The tones Of small amplitude
will be recorded by slight indentations,
and those Of full amplitude by deep ones.
This fillet of paper thus receives the re-
cord Of the vocal vibrations Of air waves

and IL il can be made 70 contribute the
same motion 10 a second diaphragm,
we shall not only see that we have a
record Of the words, but shall have
them respoken: and II that second dia-
phragm be that Of the transmitter Of a
neutrality-suspicious., we shall have the
still more marvellous performance Of
having them respoken and transmitted
by wire AZ the same time to distant
point.
The rcproductor is very similar to the
indenting apparatus, except that . more
delicate diaphgram Is used. The re-
productor, II, has attached 10 its da-
phragm thread which in turn is at
tached to n handspring, III, upon the
end Of which Is a V-shaped point rest
ing upon the indentations Of the boss.
The passage of the indentcd boss under
meath this point causes II to rise and fall
with precision, thus contributing to the
diaphragm the motion Of the original
one, and thereby rendering the words
again audible. OF course, Mr.. Edison,
at this stage Of the invention, finds some
difficulty in reproducing the finer ar
ticulations. But he Is quite justified by
results obtained by his first crude efforts,
in his prediction that he will have the
apparatus in practical operation within a
year. He has already applied the prin-
ciple to his neutrality-suspicious., thereby
causing an electromagnetic operate the

A Description Of Dir. Esiison's Reme m nblr
Invention, by Means az Which the Tones
of the Human Voice May be Reproduced
Years After Death.
The last pupber Of the lScicnt,fc
Ap,crican contains communication
from Mr.. Edward ii. johnson, elec,
irican, in reference 10 Mr.. Edison 4
new invention, called the monograph,
from which we copy the following:
Mr.. Edison, In the course ~ series
Of extended experiments in the produc-
ton Of his speaking telephone, lately
perfected, conceived the highly bold and
original idea Of recording the human
voice upon strip Of paper, from which
ut any subsequent time Il might be auto
matically rrdelivered with all the vocal
characteristics of the original speaker
accurately reproduced. A speech de-
livered into the mouthpiece Of this APP
paratus may fifty years hcnce--long af-
ter the original speaker i dead--bc re-
produced audibly TO an audience with
sufficient fidelity 10 make the voice east
" recognizable by those who were ia
mliar with the original. As yet the
apparatus is crude, but is characterized
BY that wonderful simplicity which
seems to be a trait Of all great inyen-
ton or discovery. The subjoined illus
tration, although not the actual design
Of the apparatus as used by Mr. Edison,
will better serve to illustrate and make
clear the principle upon which he is OPP
GRATING.

Slip greenback into your 6st.-Jour-

They do slip a good many greenbacks
into our fist as the list Of receipts on
subscription which we publish month
ly will show. And they will slip a
good many more after harvest.
But who was it Slipped 4 pile of green
backs into your fist when you Topped
on the bond question. Was it a fat
man, or little lean, red-fnced. man?
How much did he, OF they, pay you?
Come, now, out with it. You first
came out against paying the bonds,
and presto! in one week you turned a
summerset and came down flop in IA
vor Of paying the bonds. A paper so
venal, so utterly devoid of principle,
and which was bought up to change it's
position On an important public ques-
ton had better keep still about green
backs. And we honestly believe that a
part of the money which now keeps the
Journal going was taken from poor men
by a sort of legalized robbery. A beau
tiful sheet to talk about being the
friend Of the poor man!
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1877-08-09
from the farmer himself. Let others
speak out through. the ADVANCE:

EDITOR ADVANCE: Having been
bored and 5utt0n-holed by certain people
Of: this vicinity, begin to :eaNe that
the time is nearing when weSWill: be
called uponato refill certain county
Offices. WelknowSthatsthe present in
cumbents with few exceptions would
like very we'll to be placed in charge Of
the ''arduous" duties and the salary
another term. But before we place
them there let's just compare their love
of country with their love of salary.
1t may be that to them comparisons
are odious," but we believe in ''the
greatest good to. the greatest number. y
and when the time comes purpose put
ting our votes where they will do the
greatest good.
In the first place, how do the county
taxes compare? Those who wish an
answer may look over the county and
their own. tax-lists and find it. And
what is the answer? It is true 1.-THE
Ring" will button-hole US on the streets
sit by our hay fires, or partake of our
grasshOpper fare and promise us that
taxes will be abated, or permanently
lessened-promise a correction of many
things-a sort of general underlined and
undefinable repentance. But it is Il
death-bed repentance that I for one
have no faith in. They may promise
to lessen expenses, everything Except
SALARY; get eoe ,aay 90 Oft and soork by
the d0y and send money home to pay O,t1'
taGes. Many Of us can say II did just
thatp' We all know how .strenuously
the existence of Ring is denied, how
they scout the idea of machinery, but
just notice how neatly the ''slate' has
always been made up, and how success
fully elected without one "outside the
Ring" knowing even, Tor whom he is
expected to vote. We, who are not 'of
the elect;' are expected to walk up to
the polls like beeves to the slaughter
pen to be bled! If any one speaks out,
as some have done, notice the bitter
ness with which he is assailei, by let
ters, by threats, and in fact by every
conceivable species OF persecution
which their malicious minds can in
vent.
They are humble now apparently
and ask us to forgive them. It is right
enough. We should, but ''may one be
pard0ned and retain the offence?''
When they relinquish, then is their re-
pentance good. In the meantime,
brother Farmers, prepare to attend the
''primaries, " call your own township
conventions, and delegates to the coun-
| ty conventions. We will nominate
men Of our own choosing md elect
them. Let us send in distracted dele
gates; nominate men whom ,ce know to
be straightforward, work together and
success will crown our efforts.
And Miller, if the ADVANCE should
depart from the true and even course
it has so far pursued, it may as we'll
step out, but if it keeps the ''even tenor
of its way,''' your "kid-gloycs'' will be
required to stand the wear and tear of
many shakes with the horney-handed
farmers ANYTHING
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1877-08-09

We insist that the recent ''three far
mers'" letter in the ADVANCE was not
written by any farmer at all, and we
defy Miller to prove otherwise, Jour-
nal.
This reminds us of a good thing to
be found in Mark Twain's Innocents
Abroad. The guide at some Catholic
institution was showing the head of
John the Baptist, or some such relic.
Mark asked how they knew it was the
head Of tie Baptist. "O,'' said the
guide, ''the priest says SO, and besides,
you can't prove that it is not" This,
Of course, settled it.
But we happen to be able to prove
that the letter acas written by three
Farmers. We have the manuscript and
can produce it, if any friend or honest
man questions the matter. We pub
lish another letter from farmer this
week and hope to publish a good many
more.
The Journal wants us to refund to
the county the money paid US for pub
fishing the Commissioner Proceedings.
We published them at less than half
price, by arrangement with the Com
missioners. Now let Bell, Bear, Bar
Der, and the rest of the Ring throw off
half their salary and give it to the
county. Or throw off all of it, and
then we will refund the half price paid
us for printing. But this is horse of
another color. Catch a Ring man
throwing off 4 cent, or letting all op-
portunity pass to fatten on the county.
How long has it been since these able
bodied men were circulating petitions
to cut down the wages of female teach
ers, but when we suggested that they
had better cut down on the amounts
they were getting from the County,
they said that was matter fixed by
law. So is the price for printing the
Delinquent List and the Annual State
ment fixed 10y law. Yet we are print
ing the, Delinquent List at cents q
description when the law says we shall
have Is cents. Is there any Ring man
doing anything of this kind? Who is
the true friend of the county, the gree
dy Ring, with it's Infamous organ, or
the ADVANCE, which is doing the
county printing at cost? These are
facts, and the people know we state
facts. The Journal depends upon
blackgu;trdism and falsehood, to carry
its point, while we depend upon fucts.
Let the people decide between the two
papers.
