a novel experiment of the chloride of

manufacture Of the electric light cane.
-Four cells are placed end to end in q
small tube of cardboard and inserted In
a hollow cane. The silver wire at one
end is connected 70 one end of the car

lamp. snugly placed at the bead of the

extended upward from the zinc bottom.

When a bright light is required, press
ure on a small push button on the side
of the cane closes the circuit and ig-

have been used with great success for
theatrical purposes. and have a very

say Is now invention to simplify the trans.
mission OF telegraphic messages.
Their experiments were successful as far IS
the prescribed space allowed tho success OF
tho scheme to be demonstrated. One Of tho
operators sat at an ordinary receiver placed in
the Office on the first floor.
He used tho Morse alphabet. and tapped
message along rubber tube 10 his
companion on the third floor. Tho vi
bration OF the air in the tubo caused
mica disk In the receiver up stairs to futtsr

electric wire caused tho hammer tn tap tho
massage clearly and loudly on the receiver.
This was he only place IN which electricity
was used. and ono cell was found sufficient to
work the machinery necessary to receive the
message the vibrating air sent along the tuba.
1t is by the vibration lint the inve ntors pro-
pose TO reyolutionize tho present system Of
teleRrnphy. They sort that with their system
the present expensive method Of insnla-
tion used with tho electric telegraph will be
entirely done away with. and that the risk Of
tricity will be reduced to a minimum. No noise
can be heard In the tube when 1t Il broken
