stitutes one entire part of the WON
der Of the age. and the other part is
even more simple. 1t consists of q
small adjustable cast-iron arm TO
hold the artificial diaphram. This
latter is merely q thin disc of vibra-
tory gutta percba two inches in di-

point resembling the pointed half of
fine cambria needle. This is set
in two rings, aud being placed in
the farm" the latter is adjusted 80
that the needles point just touches
the tin-foil on the cylinder. The
patent talker is then completely set
and ready to receive good or bad i'm
pressions and repeat them forever
for the amusement. or instruction of
listeners. Mr.. Ocker turned the
crank end of the screw and as the
cylinder revolved slowly past the
needle point, he called into the
mouth piece, "Good morning, Mr..
Photograph" He then removed
the diaphragm, whirled the cylinder
back to its original position, read

The people present pressed eagerly
forward and listened with almost
painful interest for the result.
"Good morning, Mr.. Photograph"
yelled Mr.. Photograph itself, in q
voice even more distinct than Mr..
Ocker's-in voice 80 distinct that

away with feeling of inexplicable
alarm, and there was o disposition
on the part of the ladies to scream.
This first outburst proved it to be

PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
That it has almost universally been
alleged to be by all who have heard
q complete instrument managed by
one who understood its needs. The
very necessity of it's construction,
and of the theory upon which it is
constructed, renders the exact re-
petition of every sound to which its
recording needle has once vibrated
imperative. Like the father of his
country, it cannot lie-unless, in
deed, its interlocutor lies, and then
it retells them with conscientious OK.

with the remorseless certainty of
street-car bell-punch. However, it
does not give back the information
that distinguishes every human voice
from every other, but then it is
device that has had the long-needed
grace to pay deserved compliment
to the chief characteristic of the in
ventive Yankee--it talks very de-
cidedly through its nose and in .
reckless. rollicking way withal, as
if it thoroughly appreciated The right
of free speech. After it received
