WILL LISTEN TO THE SUN.

Edison's CosmicEl TEX p2one to Hear Sum
Spots Roar.
One of the most curious arrangements
contriyed by this most curious man for
his personal amusement and gratifca-
ton, says the Chicago Tribune, is the
arrangement which Mr.. Edison calls
his ''cosrnical telephone. Edison owns
an iron mine at Ogden, Y. J. There Is
a bed OF magnetic iron ore about a mile
long and so feet wide, which he says
runs down into the earth for five or six
miles He estimates the amount OF iron
In the mine at 1900. 900, 900. 900 tons.
Around Ogden there is an enormous in
tensifcation OF the magnetic forces OF
the earth. It is n well-knoyvEl fact that
the daily variations in these magnetic
forces. as shown by the needle, are di-
rectly Influenced by the disturbances in
the suns spots. These variations are
regularly recorded every day at Kew,
near London. Mr.. Edison SAYS that at
his iron mine near Ogden he has more
than million times the concentration
of magnetic lines that there IS at Kew.
To record the daily variations in his
own magnetic lines at Ogden. Mr. Edi-
son has constructed his cos-aical tele-
phone.
There are the most wonderful
things going on in the suns spots all
the time" he says. Didn't YOU ever
see them? Why. they are beautiful
The disturbances are tremendous
Bursts Of hydrogen fy out of these
spots GOO, 900 miles long. Awful things
happen up there. You can see them
every day with my telescope
To construct his telephone he has
surrounded the whole bed of magnetic
iron with poles. On these poles he has
strung cable of fifteen copper wires.
The ends of this cable run down into a
little house and are connected with the
ordinary receiver of common Bell
telephone. The idea is that the sur
rounding Of this enormous bed of mag
netic iron with copper wires will oper-
ate for the formation of a gigantic
magnet such as is used in the receiver
of the everyday telephone. Through
this tremendous receiver Edison saws
he will be put in direct telephone com
munication with the sun, only the COM
munication will be onesided. He can
hear everything that goes on up there,
but he can't do any transmitting. He
believes that every disturbance in the
suns spots will cause a corresponding
variation of the concentrated magnetic
lines at Ogden, and that this variation
will be at once detected in some way by
the receiver of his cosrlical telephone
Eyes, SIR" he says, 81 can hear them
with this telephone. The next time
there is any violent change in the suns
spots which disturbs the magnetic
lines or earth / shall know it. and if
600, 900 miles of hydrogen go chasing
away from the sun shall hear it,
The cosmical telephone is not yet
completed, as the wire stringing is not
finished; but scientific people other
than Mr.. Edison will watch with curl
GUS wonder to see what success he will
achieve
