THE MEGAPHoNE.
Curious Tests Of an Instrument for Long
Range Conversation,

A large megaphone was placed on the ITALIA
poosa Monday to be tested during the present
cruise of that vessel northward along the
const. This apparatus, which is one of Ed
sons inventions, consists of two huge conc
shaped tin tubes about eight feet In length,
three feet in diameter at the large end, and
diminishing to an inch tube at the apex
where pieces of rubber tubing are fitted on.
Between these tubes are two others, much
smaller, and generally resembling In size and
shape the longe bridge horn once so familiar
In the days when canal packet boats were the
ordinary rapid method of travel between the
east and the west. These smaller tubes arc
about eight feet long, and are five or six
inches In diameter Mt the front end.
The effect of the machine when operated Is
to enable n person to conduct n conversation
with ease Mt considerable distance, MS the small
tube conveys the sound of the voice, while the
larger ones--the ends of the rubber tubes being
inserted in the ears of the operator, and on the
principle of the speaking trumpet, or like
large scasholls Yesterday before the vessel
sailed, one of tho officers, speaking but little
above an ordinary conversational tone, called
to and stopped n man who was driving team
OF horses across the AnacOstia bridge, mlly u
quarter of II mile away Conversation In ordi-
nary tones was easily and distinctly carried on
with the shipkecpcr Of the Snugus, DO yards
distant. The instrument will be tested In
listening for the sound of breakers on shore or
over rocks at n distance, and the sounds of APP
preaching vessels through the water.
