THE more one listens to the various Edi-
son monographs about town, the more
mysterious it seems What comes from
the photograph may not perhaps be called
"the music of the rolling spheres" about
which poets have sung, but it is music
from rolling cylinder of wax, and the I'M
scientific mind could just as readily be-
lieve that the spheres could make music as
that this little instrument should repro
duce the sounds sung or played into it. Its
reproduction OF sound of all kinds is eX-
tremely marvellous, and compels US to ac-
knowledge that physical considerations do
not lead TO the final explanation of all that
we see and know. Our present powers
shrink into nothing when brought TO bear
on the problem of how it is that this ma
chine reprOduces the sounds Of bells, ban
Jos, pianos, whistles, pulling of steam,
rattling Of drums and the human voice. We
are struck with our poverty of thought the
moment we undertake 10 explain the why
or how 1t is surprising, confounding, in
comprehensive.
