Speech-Recording Invention.

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Vienna Electrical Exhibition
is Gentilli's glossograph, a little in
strument by which speech is automati-
cally reproduced as soon as uttered
A small apparatus is placed in the
mouth of the speaker-in contact
with the roof of his mouth, his tongue
and lips-and on being connected
with an electromagnetic registering
apparatus the sounds are committed to
paper. 1t is constructed in such a
manner as not to cause any incon-
yenience to the speaker: neither is it
necessary that the voice should be
raised, as it reproduces a whisper as
exactly as a shout; the only condition
is a corract and distinct articulation
According to the inventors calcula-
ton, it will be possible to write foJr
or five times as fast by means of the
glossograph as has hitherto been pos
sible even by the quickest writer. The
chief obstacle to the conduction of
the glossograph, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, will be the difficulty in
deciphering the characters, but it is
not impossible that with the help of
second automatic apparatus, the
characters produced by the glosso
graph may be translated into our
common type-writing. The ortho-
graphy would doubtless appear
strange, but in these days of phonetic
spelling this might not long be a
hinOrance.

Apples are among the most nourish-
ing and healthful of all vegetable
foods. Besides containing large
amount of sugar and other carb-
hydrates, they contain vegetable
acids and certain aromatic qualities
which act powerfully in the capacity
of tonic, antiseptics and refrigerants
or caoling foods. When mellow
they prevent debility and Indigestion
They are 10 doubt very servlceable
in avertng many ills. The opera
