A TALKING MACHINE MAR.
VEL.
One Made That Has The Voice
of a Giant,

The Talking machine, which, reports
from. Paris s'ate, is to be heard by ten
thousand people at once at the Paris Ex
position, has been completed. A private
exhibition of this remarkable talking
machine was given Thanksgiving week
in the ffices of the American Graphic
phone Company in New York, to repre-
sentstives of the New York press. The
exhibition was in every way successful
The machine will become familiar to
Americans long before the Paris Exposi-
ton opens. The Partisan story is wrong
in intimatingI that the machine is of
huge size. 1t is scarcely larger than the
ordinary graphophone. 1t has giants
voice but not giants body. The new
machine is known as the Graphophone
Grand. A gong can be reproduced by il
with Isuch volume as to be heard
above the voices of large congregation
singing. A speech can be reproduced &c
as to be heard as far as and farther thar
the human voice can carry sound. Tht
new machine reproduces not only with
great volume but with greater natural
ness and purity of tone than any talkinl
machine yet devised. This has resulte'
from experiments make by Mr.. T. b
Macdonald, manager of the factory Q
the American Graphophone Company
along the lines laid down by Bell an
Cainter. At the end of the exhibition
Mr.. A. j. Ostheimer of Pniladelphi
ordered one of the new machines to b
constructed for the Emperor of Japan.
