A PHONOGRAPH CLAIMED TO BE
REvOEUTIONIzER.

been at work for several months to per-
feet phonograph which can be used
with such accuracy asto be an aid in.
reporting with precision the proceed
ings of courts and public assemblies.
It is said that q state Of perfection has
already been attained which will war
rant the introduction of this instrue
ment In courts of justice. When the
phonograph is perfected it will be
great help to stenographic reporters in
one way and a great rival and hin-
,drance In another way. One of the
machines can be taken in court, for
instance, and all Of the proceedings
will be recorded by it.
At the close of the day it can be
taken to room and gauged 10 talk
at any rate Of speed-at 80 ords a
minute, which can be written out by
an ordinary longhand writer. II 1t is
desired to get the proceedings trana
scribed as fast as they occur, new cyl.
inders are put in the phonograph as
fast as the proceedings are written OUT
For instance the longhand writer's can
put in cylinder and let it remain 10
minutes, then take it and put in
another and transfer the cylinder
which has the proceedings upon it to
another instrument, and it is made
to repeat the proceedings with accuracy
and, at the expiration Of its term, is
replaced in the phonograph ard the
other cylinder taken from it and so on.
One of the great difficulties the scien-
lists have encountered. is in securing
the distinction Of tone and voice.
Heretofore the phonograph has not
. been sufficiently distinct in the pitch
of the voice to make one voice distin>
guish itself from another If they are
similar in volume and tone. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the instrument
will be perfected within short time
80 anyone who has heard number of
voices in room can really distinguish
them from the sounds the phonograph
will give out. 1t IS the distinguishing
of one voice from another that gives
the names of the speakers. For in,
stance, If the photograph is used to REQ
cord the proceedings of Legislature
it will not, OF course, have the names
of the persons participating in debate,
and the persons translating from the
record Of the phonograph will have to
place the speakers by the tone of
voice. 1t is said that some of the off,
cial reporters intend trying the phono-
graph within short time and deter
mining how it will work in public
In event it fails they will have the
proceedings by the usual methods and
no risk will be run. When the pho.
nograph is perfected the stenograph-
ers intend to use it in their work as a
safeguard. By its assistance they will
be enabled 10 have everything that is
said In the room, and number of
persons speaking at one time and the
rapidly of their speech will be no ins
convenience, as the phonograph will
catch everything that is said. 1t will
be of more use as an amanuensis than
anything else, enabling one to dictate
any amonnt of correspondence to the
machine and leaving 1t so that any one
can transcribe 1t, because the machine
