An exchange says a cheap and effective
telephone can be made by taking two small
round boxes and passing a strong string
through hole in the bottom of each, Sc
curely fastened by knot. 1t will make no
or twenty RODS long. If it is drawn tightly,
and one end is held TO the mouth OF the
speaker and the other TO the ear OF the
listener, and the faintest whisper can be
instantly heard with great distinctness. L
is curious and pleasing experiment and
well worth trying.
