pine well known twenty-five years or so ago
through mis- poems of tine war, written over the

THE Boston Transcript thinks that the talk
about Mrs. Sherdan's poverty must annoy her

on. Besides, his widow has the copyright OF
his book. which will undoubtedly amount TO q
large sum, so IL will be seen that the Sheridans
are comfortably provided for.

century with mine, You are going TO find out
very shortly. You know something OF

presents n visible image; cannot you imagine
something analogous TO il which might present
an audible image! The difference is really that
the whole of photograph IL always present to
the eye but the acousticgraph only in success

phony played at first and IL recorded them, and
gave them out In one simultaneous horrible
crash; then. when we had once got them fixed,

We please, This is very queer, exclaimed.
DO you mean to tell me these notes and these
voices are only the ghosts Of soundsY Not in
any other sense, he answered, than you might
call photograph the ghost OF sight,"
