a company of some sixty prominent per-
sons in Chicago a day or two ago listened
through long-distauce telephone to the
singing Of a lady in Boston, 1.4OO miles
away. As many telephone earpieces as
there were listeners were connected with
the line wire, SO that the whole company
heard at the same time. In other words,
the singer in Boston had an audience of
sixty in Chicago who heard every note she
uttered as distinctly as if they had been in
the same room with her, One enthusiastic
listener thus describes the impression Gre
ated: 'As l listened l could think OF
nothing but the morning song OF a meadow
lark, as he rises and rises, higher and
higher, and soars away toward the sky on
the wings Of joy"
