An Ohio inventor has Just patented an ei-
fective auxiliary telephone, which is designed
10 be used IN connection with subs ations,
says tho Electrical World. The auxiliary
consists OF spe cially constructed chair. The
back OF the chair Is so made that it will act
as transmltter, so that conversation may
be carried on with perfect ease while the OPP
orator Is seated in the chair. The principle
on which this patent operates is the viora-
lions produced in the cody of the speaker,
which are transmitted to the chair back and
thence over the line in the usual manner.
ms chair telephone is so designed that the
chair Will answer the purposes of an ordinary
ONCE chair. Mr. McKelvey, the inventor,
Is now making experiments with a
view OF putting this attachment to any ordi-
nary chair now in use. In devising this tele-
phone Mr.. Mckelvey has departed from the
usual paths followed " inventors, and has
proceeded along new lines, employing a bi-
pole non-metallic diaphi agm in the receiver,
