lately exhibited in this city the perfect

has spent some Of the best years OF his
life, would have been crowded hourly
with an awe-struck multitude. Of all
the wonders of invention, this is un-
Questionably the greatest.
With the mere principle OF the ma
chine We were acquainted years ago;
how the sound waves created By the
voice in speaking or singing act upon
b sensitive plate Of mica, and arc thence
transmitted to a vibrating steel point,
pressed close against the surface OF n
cylinder OF wax; how the tiny waving
spiral thus traced is an absolutely
faithful record Of the omitted sound:
how the process may be reversed, the
vibrating point he made to retraVerse
its course, and its movements he again
received by sensitive diaphragm, and
made audible by resonant multiple
eation OF the sound. In fact, there ia
nothing more wonderful or difficult 10
understand about the principle OF the
photograph than about that Of the tel
ephonc. But it Will appear, none the
Ices, a weird and diaOolc2l thing for
years to come.
The invention is now really per-

OF which it might seem that no ma
