BREATHING AND THE TICKING or A WATCH
HEARD $50 MILES.
New York, Feb. 24.-Over 500 bankers
merchants and downtown business men
assembled yesterday afternoon i'll the
Offices of the Postal Telegraph company,
40 Broadway, for the purpose OF witnessing
experiments Oh the Gillett long distance
telephone.
Meadville. Pa, is 500 miles from New
York, and at that end of the line also
group of business men and electricians
were assembled The practical utility OF
the new invention was fully demons tratcd,
and everybody present voted the machine
a complete success. For over four hours
the operations were conducted, and every
man present was given the opportunity to
test the apparatus. The instrument is
much superior to the ordinary telephone
and the utterauces of the speakers at the
Meadyile Office could be heard rs distinctly
as though the persons taking We're close
together. The new invention was put
through the severeSt test and III every
instance came on, satisfactorily
The sound Of the breathing of the
operator 500 miles away was plainly heard,
and when the stem OF watch waa placed
against the instrument the ticking of 1t
could be heard at this end with surprising
distlnctness
The best test of the power of the new
telephone was when the wire of the receiver
was disconnected and nine of the gentle
men present took hold OF each other ;
hands and the current was passed through
them. The operators at each end then
conversed with as much freedom as pre-
viously
Mr.. Gillet explained that the instru-
ment then being worked was intended for
use in distances of | 900 miles, and that 1t
would be just as easy to talk across the
ocean with London as with Mcadvile,
The new transmiiter can be attached to
any existing telegraph wires. and the cost
is considerably less than that of the tele-
phone now in use. In the course Off few
weeks the instrument will be tested on the
Atlantic cables.
