fitted between the rafters and the floor
above one Of his double-recording and
speaking machines. In the room above
q portion of the machine rises through
the floor, and attached to it is small
wooden box, said to contain the coils Of
the pipe Of the trumpet, the bell or mouth
of which opens through one side, and is
made of the new substance discovered by
Mr.. Edison, and is alluded to elsewhere.
With the exception of the box, all other
portions of the machine are open to in

the volume Of sound (although it can bS

preservation through the electrotyping
process. The effect produced by the
aurophone is not only comically wierd,
but in many ways alarming. Sending
an assistant to the room below to test it's
capacity for catching whispers, the orator,
directed by Mr.. Edison, bent down his

by tho inquiry: "What do you think Of

almost made the house rock, followed by
laugh SO mockingly hideous and un-

horror. This we coon discovered to be

introduction to the aurophOne, always
hugely enjoyed by the inventor and his
