Won BuIow and lie Phonograph.

A few weeks ago the people of Madi-
son knew but little of the Edison phono-
graph, except what they had read of it in
the papers. Since Mr.. Goodwin has been
here with the machine, operating it daily
before hundreds, the mere mention of
the wonderful machine engr0sses great
attention. Here is something. The
great pianist, Hans Won Bulow, as is we'll
known, is q man of highly sensitive or
ganization. The following anecdote,
which is vouohed for by an eye witness IS
an illustration: Previous TO his last
visit to this country, Won Bulow had
never had an opportunity of hearing
sounds Reproduced by the monograph.
He had heard much hawever, of its won
ders, and particularly af the distinctness
and fidelity with which it gave forth
musical sounds. When the eccentric
musician arrived in New York one of the
first things he did was to pay a visit to
Edlson's laboratory at Orange, N. j., for
the purpose Of gratifying his curiosity
about the phonugrRph. Mr.. Edison re-
ceived the musician in the most cordial
manner and acceded heartily 70 MA re-
quest to hear his own playing reproduced
on the phOnograph. The apparatus for
the transmission o. sound was according
~ arranged and Won BulOw took his
position at the piano and began to
play.
Now music issued forth soft and
dreamy, like the gentle gurgle of brook
OF the far-of signing Of the night
wind, and now the instrument seemed
10 fairly shake and trembie at mis- touch,
the roar Of the cataract, the rattle OF
musketry and the ring of the hammer on
the anvil following each other in quick
succession.
There" sad he, when he had finished
and his delighted auditors were slowly
recovering from the effects OF his won
derful execution, 'can that ever live
agsiu?"
For answer M. 1ison led the pianist
10 the phonograph, and directing him TO
place the rubbar tubes connected with it
ia his ears, started the machine.
Then all watched Won Bellows coun-
tenauce closely to see the effect.
A & first look of surprise crePt over the
face of the listener then be became ashy
pale and made an effort as If to control
himself. Finally he tore the tubss from
his ears and staggered back from the
machine gaspiug:
"Mein Cot! Mein Gottl Il is be-
witched."
He was about to faint and would have
fallen had not those about him caught
him and assisted MIN to a chair. When
he came to himself the musician begged
70 be sent home at once, saying that his
nerves we're completely unstrung and he
must have rest and quiet. The following
day, however, Won Bulow was at the lab
oratory again and spent several hours ID
experimenting, exhibiting all the enthu-
siasm of a child over a new toy.
