IS more, he intends to see that it is done.
lie Is the inventor of new sounding
board by which the volume of sound
from any source can be immensely in
creased. lie has device of this kind TO
be attached to a telephone receiver SO
that the other end Of the line can be
heard distinctly throughout large

or theaters for the day in New York,

as well as If he were in Washington.
Mr.. Wamburton is in New York to
make arrangements with the Bell tele-

paratus. The mouthpiece, he says, can
be placed on the stand in front of the
president and will not hinder or obstruct
the view of the throng in front of him
to any degree.

can give people an entertainment abso.
