THE PHONOPHORE.
The Sending of Simultaneous Mes
Sages on One Wire.
Chleago Dlsnatch.


To be told that telegraph wire which Is
busily transmitting a long message can at
the same time be made to convey half
dozen other messages in opposite directions
sounds like fairy tale, but that the thing
has been done and is daily being done is at
tested upon the most respectable scientific
authority. The discovery which renders
these astonishing results possible is due TO
c. Langdon-Davies, who has for some years
been engaged In rendering it practically
workable aud in adapting it alike to tele-
phDnic and telegrnphlc use.
1t is difficult 10 convey to the Law mind an
accurate comprehension of q process so eX-
ceedingly technical; but 1t may briefly be
said that Mr.. Langdon- Davies in the

electric signals can at the same time be
used for telephone conversation without

For some considerable time past expert
ments in both directions have been pro-
ceeding with most gratifying results, which
are voaehed for by such high authorities as
Professor Sylyanus Thompson, Conrad
Cooke and Latimer Clark. Three of the

ties, that brought out one of the brightest
glnrieS of the San Francisco cable-car.
The Philadelphia newspapers have dis
covered that its cars are developing a
strange class of people. The gripmen there
are becoming lop-sided. One half of
Philadelphia gripm3n weighs about twice
as much as the other half.
This sad information Is illustrated in the
accompanying cuts. 1t appears that in the
Quaker City a gripman grips and grips all
day long with his right hand, while his left
earns but small portion of his wages.
There the scion of an ilustrlous family
