A wonderful Invention ana what Is
Claimed Tor It.

A Wonderful Invention ana What IS
Claimed Tor H.
An important page in the history Of
telegraphy has Just been written, writes
a Fort Worth correspondent to the Gal
weston NelD8.
Last spring Fred n. Brown, Of Fort
Worth, completed the invention of
magDebO-electric Geographic instrument.
The instrument works at any distance
without battery at either end Of tie
wire, which is COiled around a magnet.
The instrument was tested for the
first time the 2lst OF last June, between
Fort Worth and Cleburne.
This invention Is a new system Of
transmitting sound of the human voice
without using batteries of any kind by
means of a magnetic transmltter and re-
ceiver attached at both ends Of the line
This simple instrument can be made for
% cents out of a few ounces Of wire and
half pound of steel. The transmitter
is simply a horseshoe magnet, either
pole being covered with fine wire care
fully cOiled. The receiver is similar, but
has a smaller magnet.
1t is claimed by the inventor that he
can transmit the voice around the world
or across the Atlantic ocean, there being
no limit as far as distance is concerned,
all that is necessary being the increasing
of the size of the magnets. One weigh
ing only half pound iscapable Of trans
hitting the voice seventy-five miles.
The cost of the batteries of all kinds
used in the United States, is said to be
100000 daily, which will be saved by
this invention.
In telegraphing, the key attachment
now in use viii be applied, but very lit
tie noise is made. The receiving opera
tor has the disk attached to his ear hung
by a hook in his cap, or strapped around
his head.
The noise now incident to telegraph
offices is done away with, and the tsle-
graph is absolutely secret. The instru-
ment can be carried on ali trains, and in
case of an accident between stations can
be attached to the telegraph wires and
notice given to either station just where
the accident occurred.
