CHEAP TELEPHONES IN SIGHT
An Improvement on the He'll sys-
tenn That VIII Minimize Cost.

There Is every prospect that the public
will soon reap the benefit OF the expira-
ton OF the Bell patents. which have
enabled the big electrical combination
to force exorbitant prices from those
to whom the telephone is a necessity.
The original discovery of Bell was not.
as might be supposed, an electric trans
mitter Of sounds. 1t was a magnetico-
telephone. But Bell did not succeed in
bringing 1t TO a state OF perfection, and
so he applied the electrical power to the
principle. Bell never perfected his
neutrality-suspicious., and now. after his
patents have run out, comes a new COM
pany with Dwight w. Curtiss, the Prod
uce Exchange -four merchant. as its
President and claim that another in
ventor has perfected the old scheme.
and that within few months 1t will be
able to furnish telephone service at 81
a month and make a reasonable profit.
The Bell monopoly has charged all the
way from $50 to $40 a year rental for
Its instruments never selling one. and
charging immensely for territorial rights
to local companies. But the new COM
pany will rent instruments at 81 a
month each, or will sell them outright
to local companies. who will be charged
very moderate prices for territorial
rights The new Company has offices
in the Produce Exchange annex.
This new telephone is exceedingly sim
pie. 1t IL called the Phoenix" 1t
has no batteries nor electrical appli-
ances, and, therefore, no carbon trans
mitter. 1t Is a Neutrality-suspicious. in Its
simplest form.
The simplicity OF this telephone is IL
Illustrated in a desk phone no larger
than paper-weight, for connections
with other rooms In the same building,
useful for hotels. institutions. factories
and the like.

BOTH SALES LEGAL.
Painter Bisson Permitted to Sell nm
Original After Selling Copyrights.

A decision OF much interest to artists
was given this morning in the United
States Circuit Court by Judge Town
send granting an injunction and &C
counting to Emil Werckmelster against
the Springer Lithographing Company.
In May, 1892, Edouard Bisson, a we'll
known French painter, exhibited at
Paris a painting called "Floreal." He
sold the picture, reserving rights of re-
production. Afterwards he sold to the
complainant all rights Of reproduction,
publication and copyright of the pic
ture.
In June, 1892, he sold to another person
the original study and model, which
was not in the same style as the fin
ished painting, telling the purchaser all
rights of reproduction were reserved.
Then the defendants mfringed the
copyright made to the complainant by
making photographic copies OF the paint
ing and selling them.
Judge Townsend to-day held that the
Intellectual conceptions of an author
are his absolute property. He may
hold them in his brain or he may re-
lease AID express them by outward
signs. In the latter case the law pro-
tects him from duplication by others.
But IL he sets them free by unrestricted
publication he abandons his property to
the public.
In this case the decision quotes:
when there is a proprietor of a paint
ing the rights of the author cease. Did
the purchaser In this case become u
proprietor? l think not.
Il can see no violation of principle
in allowing an author to sell his painting
and retain the right to copyright"

Smith sneaked up to the mantel piece
and seized $l3 that was lying on a book.
Mrs. Theobald, who was suspicious OF
Smith. watched his movements and saw
him steal the money. Her daughter kept
Smith in conversation while she went
after Policeman Blumel, of the Fifth
