fact that electricity In passing through a magnetic

discovered by Professor Charles G. Page Of this place,
as long ago 1881 His observations published,
and as he man OF largo attainmcnts his expert
scientists became Interested tho limo Of nves-
tigation among them the late Colonel Francis PEABODY
Of Salem. The fact therefore, that sound could be
conveyed electrically TO considerable distances has
been Tor time, and the nature of the cx.
periments Herewith was shown on Monday evening
in various ways, notably by the transmission from
Boston to Lyceum Hall Of telegrapnic message,
which announced itself, not by the usual dots aud
