WHAT TIE TELEPHONE HEARD.

A correspondent writing to the Scientific
american from Kingston. n. Y, relates the
following remarkable telephone experience:
A prominent drug firm havi"g a store il
each end OF this city. being two miles apart.
have recently established u telephoAic con-,
nection. ard have NOW in daily use II sci Of
Bells new telephones, which seem 10 work
admirably. They are So well pleased with
the new communication that the old system
of telegrapliy heretofore in use has been en-
tirely discarded. But the purpose of this
note more especially is to Inform. you of The
singular freak, or wonderful power and ca
pacity OF thislittle telephone. exhibited here
q few weeks. since. An accurat and expe-
rienced Morse sound reader CHANGED to bein
the down town store Of the above firm, and
while having the telephone to his ear heard
what he thought to be the clicking of an in
strument. He took pencil and paper and
wrote what he heard, which proved to be a
message from the Western Union office
there, which was passing over their wires.
He went Immediately to that office and
asked the operator If he had Just sent the
message which he then read to him from
his telephone otes. The Western Union
man replied that he had, and could notpos
sibly conceive how this gentleman had OBJ
tanned it.
All the explanation that can be given in
regard to this is that for a short distance
both the telephone wire and those of the
Western Union main line are strung on the
same poles-@ Will Professor Bell explain to
US this strange conduct of the child of his
genius? This may not be the first instance
OF the kind, out l do not remember to have
seen any record of the like before.
