Electrical Exhibition Notes.
Special Correspondence of Tue MONITOR
PHILADELPHIA, PA. Oct. /, Is

Special correspondence OF THE MONITOR
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. /, 1884.
Among the most interesting features OF
the electrical exhibition, now i'll progress
i'll this city. is the display of telephones.
This handy little instrument, which it
would be almost impossible to do with
out, now represents one of the greatest
and most important uses of electricity.
Nearly all of the telephone companies in this
country are represented, and the visitors
are afforded an opportunity of seeing i'll
the different exhibits the gradual devel-
oprnent of this great and useful invention,
from its early and crude state down to
its latest and most perfect forms. In one
case are collected many of the first inven-
lions of Prof Bell and Mr.. Edison, il
Illustrating the infancy of the telephone.
Included in this display is Prof. Bells
first speaking telephone and also the earli-
est forms of the box and hand mstru-
ments. Beside these there is n copy of
Prof. Bells original exchange switch
board. which looks quite simple and COM
monplace alongside of the present elaborate
and costly switchboards such as are
in use in the exchange stations. There is
also shown Bell phonograph which makes
the impression on paper OF sound waves, nc. :;
photophone, which makes ray of light
talk in curious manner. The People $
Telephone Company which controls the
Draw baugh Inventions have covered their
exhibit over and announce that they will not
display it until after the New York Court
passes upon the legal matter now before
it in the suit between them and the Bell
Company. The exhibit embraces many
of Daniel Drawbaugh's early inventions.
Edison. the great electrician, exhibits a
photograph, or loud-talking telephone.
1t is distinct in principle from the micro
phone has a chalk receiver, and sounds
transmitted through it can be plainly
heard some distance away. The Edison Co.
also displays quadruplex, automatic and
chemical telephones, and o different styles
of the microphone. j. II.

A Curiosity.

Chalkley Kirby showed us ON Tuesday, a
chicken five days old, and as lively as a
cricket, that had four perfectly formed
legs-two in ''the place where his legs
ought to be, +" and the other pair little in
front. This would be valuable breed OF
poultry in families where children were n,l-
merous, for there would be drumsticks
enough i'll the pot-pie to go around.
We regret to state that since writing
the above, the little chick has died.
Probably the prospect of the double amount
of scratching he would have to do for a
living discouraged him, and he considered
the game not worth the candle
