glass tube is placed in the focus at E,
and the other end of the glass connects
with the rubber hearing tube. It is
well known that when light falls upon
substance which docs not reflect all
the rays, that which is absorbed is
turned into heat. OF course lusterless
black is a high absorbent. In the radio
phone the fluctuations of light inten-
sity are attended by rapid but minute
alterations of temperature. The heat
received expands both the PARTICLES of
carbon and the air in the interstices;
and the cooling contracts them. This
compression and rarefaction have been
found adequate to excite sound vibr:l-
tons in tho adj acent air in the glass
tube, although articulate speech is not
yet very faithfully reproduced.

Inventors may be roughly divided in
to three glasses: ~ Those who, as the
result of accident and momentary in

nary pursuits ar needs; CO persons
who have 8 Wei ,iefined mocha nical

classes, together constituting ninety
ninc per cent. of the whole, may be
called. without disrespect or disparage-
ment, amateur inventors. Those con-
shutting the third set arc really ''pro-
fessional Inventors" Some excellent
suggestions, offered to the latter in
Engineering Magazine. by Henry Har-
riSon Sup1ee, deserve consideration by
the former.
This writer's first recommendation IL
that when a man gets an idea he go t.,
work and find out what others have
done In the same direction, SO that he
will not discover, after throwing away
d lou Oh 11OOr ana ClInc, ana perhaps
money, that some one else has tried the
same thing and succeeded, or has tried
and failed. All failures should be care
fully studied, SO that the reasons there
for can be detected and a repetition
avoided. 1t is well to collect facts,
either in the form of clippings or writ
ten memoranda, copies of patents or
catalogues, about other
devices like that which the inventor has
in mind. Above all, it is important
that n man, before trying to solve
problem, carefully inquire whether it
is worth solving. Merchants, manu-
factarers and consumers should be con-
suited, to see whether thing would
sell, If perfected and put on the mar
ket. Finally, mechanical laws. means
of accomplishing an end simply with
out waste OF power or material ana
fundamental principles should be ca
gerly and thoroughly studied. in books,
by personal observation and by in
quiry. It is the inventor who works
along these lines and looks upon inven-
ton as a science and not as a hap-haz-
ard affair who makes the greatest hits

BELLS PHoToPHoNe.
Tclephonine Without . Wire and Talkina
AlOne q Beam Of Light.

Tc9eV3h0nlnG Without = W1re and ToSelno
Along . Beam of Light.
In the last few years, in connection
with Mr.. Freezes experiments In Eng
land and otherwise, we have heard q
good deal about telcgraphing without
wires. It has also been found practic.
able to telephone without wires. In
the former operation induction Is the
means employed; in the latter, ap-
paratus invented by Prof. Bell, the
author of the telephone, and called the
''photopho4e." Nelson w. Perry de-
scribes 1t in a recent number of Elcc-
tricity. Light emanating from any
source, L, Is passed through n lens, A,
in order to render its rays parallel, be-
fore they fall upon the mirror, Il, whence
D, in whose focus is placed a piece OF
eelenium, E. The seleniu.n forms part
of the circuit of q telephone, T, opcr-
ated by q battery, +.
The mirror Is is composed of q very
thin sheet of glass or mica, silvered on
Its face, and mounted SO as to vibrate
like a telephone diaphragm when q
person speaks into the mouthpiece, c,
behind it. Now, when the tones of tho
voice cause tho diaphragm to bulge
forward, the rays reflected toward ID
will diverge slightly instead of being
parallel, and less light will be concen-
trated upon E; but when. at the other
rendered concave, the rays will con-
verge, and more light will be thrown
upon the selenium. As tho electrical
conductivity of this remarkable SUBJ
stance varies in proportion to tho
amount of light to which it is SUBJ
jected, the intensity of the telephone
current will be modified thereby, aad
the telephone itself will distinctly re-
produce the words uttered in tho
G. It is not stated at how
great q distance this apparatus will
work; but it will be seen that therein q
beam Of light takes the place of the
ordinary metallic connections between
the two instruments.
Since Bell accomplished the result
here described, Mr.. Perry says, fainter
has substituted SCOT for the selenium,
md dispensed with the battery alto
gether, using instead of the ordinary
telephone receiver the two-pronEed
hearing tube, by means of which one
listens to monograph. AS so con-
structed, Mercadier calls the instrument
