The latest telephone wrinkle comes
from a London physician, who exhibited
before the Royal Society the other day
what he calls "sphymograph "-an in
strument by which the human pulse, or
heartbeat, can be made to register au-

can be heard by an audience of several
hundred people. By extending the tele-
phone wires the sounds can also be con-
veyed long distances, SO that a physician
in his consulting-room might listen to
the heart or pulse of q patient lying in
bed (speaking modestly as to distance) a
mile or two away. DR.. Richardson de-
scribed to the Fellows of the Royal

natural pulse resemble the two words
