THE MICROPHONE.
One of the Curious instruments of

LICAtAIkdt J(iCuSSs
One of the most curious instruments which
the development of electrical science has
brought into being is the microphone. 1t en-
braces within itself almost the whole principle
of the modern telephone. and with it may be
performed series OF experiments which, aside
from being interesting, are onderfully signifi-
cant OF what we may expect from its develop
ment in the near future. BY Its aid the foot
steps or a fly walking on the stand on
which 1t is placed are clearly heard and give the
sensation of horses tread; and even a f1y's
scream especially at the moment of death
is easily audible. The rustling OF feather or
a pi zee of dress goods on the board OF the In
stiument. an d compile ely inaudlble under ordi-
nary circumstances, are distinctly heard IN the
mcrophone. The ticking OF watch is rem
dered very loud at quite distance from the re-
ceiver. A musical box placed i'm connection
as 10 render II impossible TO distinguish indi-
vdual notes. A current of air blown sharply
on the instr ument sounds like distant tricKle
of waller And the rumbling of carriage out
side the house Is transformed into very in
tense cracking noise, not unlike tue sound of
the burning of pine logs.
The Instrument in appearance assumes var-
Gus SnaDes, lnaSnuch as the very simplicity of
Its principle admits OF its being made of vari-
Gus substances and In almost any form. All
