A Prophecy Ofthe Phonograph.
baltimore Gazette:

The following extract from a some
v hat rare old medical work in my pos
session may prove interesting to the
general reader )" DIR. Eliotson observes
that 1t is by no means impossible that
the progress of modern art may present
us, at some future period, with mechani-
cal substitutes for orators and preachers;
for, putting aside the magic heads of
Albertus Magnus and Roger Bacon.
Kratzenstein actually constructed an in
strunent to produce vowels. De Rem
pelin has published full account of
his celebrated speaking machine, which
perfectly initiated the human voice. The
French celebrated mechaniclan Able
Mical also made two heads of brass,
which pronounced very distinctly en-
tire phrases these heads were colossal,
and their voices powerful and sonorous.
The French government refusing, it is
said, in 1882 to purchase these automata
the unfortunate and too sensitive inven-
tor, In paroxysm of despair, destroyed
these masterpieces of scientific ingen-
uity."
There appears, therefore, absolutely to
be nothing new under the sun The
last and most extraordinary invention
of all the wonderful modern invent ons,
the " phonograph," is after all, it would
seem, not new. 1t is well known that
the now old fogy telegraph was invented
Vi more properly the idea conceived, by
Partisan prior to the revolution. The
invention disappeared during the Reign
of Terror, ana the first idea Of telegraph
ing by means Of electricity was lost. The
telephone was also foreshadowed
some thirty or forty years ago, but the
idea was, 1t seems, not matured or put
to any practical use tested only as a
curious toy and allowed to pass away.
Let us not, therefore, become too vain
glorious in this, our age of marvellous in
yentions, for it would appear that our
ancestors had heads and brains as we'll as
ourselves.
