A NEW AND IMPROVED TELEPHONE -
About . O'Clock this morning one OF oul
reporters visited the Western Union Tele.
graph office, in this city, and while in the
operating-room the operator in Philadel'
phia asked Mr.. Prescott, the gentleman in
charge OF the Pittsburgh office, il he desired
to try the new Edison telephone. RecelT'
ing an affirmative answer, one OF the wires
was accordingly switched on one OF the Ia
bles and the magnet OF the relay, one OF the
instruments used in the ordinary method OF
transmitting telephone signals, was screwed
tightly against the armature. Those present
then placed their ears to the table and after
a few moments could distinctly hear the Phil
adelpha operator singing ''iankee Doc,
dle," and, although the music sounded
shrill and high, those present were able to
recognize that it was human voice. A
few moments after the listeners were greet
ed with the Doxology, and then the hymn
"America." Edlson's telephone is de-
cided improvement on the one invented by
Bell, as the experiments OF this morning
prove, and the possibilities which may yet
be achieved with the aid Of this wonderful
instrument are beyond the ken Of man,
