torlal work, etc. Writing a letter by
monograph involves for its perfect
value the possession of a phonograph
by the one who receives it, thouob if
ne had none the writing might still be
done and the secretary or clerk thus
dictate to himself at his leisure the let
ter he must copy. The sheets of foil
prepared for the purpose of transmitting

about 10000 words may be inscribed on

TINS advantage over written letters.
that there will be no hindrance by vii
famous bad handwriting. 1t is Mr..
Edison's opinion that printer would
rather set up copy from hearing the
utterance of a photograph than from
a written page. He has thought for
the sick in hospitals, and talks of their
having Photographic sheets prepared
from the voices of professional read
ers IN rendering poems, descriptions,
oratlons, or even entire books,
which may be put into the phono-
graph again and reeled off to enter
tam these patients withal; and the same
way for music. There does not appear
to be any smile upon Mr.. Edison's face
at least, it isn't visible in the printed
remark-when he observes upon the
value OF the photograph for preserving
the "last words" of dying friends or
OF great men. In touching upon the
possible value of this instrument in
languages, Mr.. Edison hits
upon want in regard to certain tongues
of chronological value, as of our In
dams, that really need this process,
which seems invented for their preser-
vaion when the few survivors of their
race have disappeared
Finally, however, Mr.. Edison in
tends that the photograph shall perfect
the telephone, and the combined instru-
ment rsvolutionize present systems of
telegrap,y. There will be no diff
Guilty, he explains, in achieving this
combination. Both inventions cause a
plate or disk to vibrate, and produce
sound-wayes in harmony with their
source. 1t hay easily be devised that
the same disk shall both transmit and
record the message; and asks Edison:
what system of telegraphy can APP
proach that?' \ similar combination
at the other end Of the wire will enable
the receiver to hear the message while
it is recorded. Mr.. Edison has already
got new instrument,which he calls the
" Carbon telephone nearly to the
point of accomplishing this result
The telegraph company of the fu-
ture," he predicts, evil be simply an
organization having a huge system of
wires, central and sub-central stations,
by skilled attendants, whose
sole duty it will be to keep wires in
proper repair, and give, by switch or
shunt arrangement, prompt attention
to subscriber No. 923 in New York
when he signals his desire to have
private communication with subscriber
No. l,OOl in Boston, for three min
