1t was evident at once that we could not

New Sounder Aids the Operator and
Makes Secrecy Possible.
From the Electrical Engineer
The introduction of typewriting machines
in telegraph Offices, on which operators
take down the messages received. has ne
cessitated increasing the volume of sound
emanating from the saunders in order to
make their clicks clearly distinguishable
above the click Of the typewriting machine.
The result has been that the noise In tele-
graph Offices has in many cases increased
to such an extent as to be serious menace
to the health Of the operators. In order to
reduce this noise and to make the received
message entirely secret special sounder
has been invented. The sounder, which is
inclesed in a hard rubber case Is very
light, the whole thing, with conducting
cord complete, weighing but four ounces.
1t can be used not only without the slight
est Inconvenience to the operator, but
much to his comfort and advantage, re-
Heving him Of all unnecessary nerve and
physical strain. 1t can be attached d.
rectly to the main line, where 1t acts as q
combined relay and sounder, giving all
the service Of both, without any Of the
disadvantages and annoyances Of a main
line sounder.
The mechanism Of this little instrument
Is very simple, consisting of set of cleo
tro-snagnets of from to LOO ohms resist
ance according to requirements). An in
genious arrangement of the armature and
lever brings the former in actual contact
with the poles of the magnets in such a
manner as to double the working force of
the armature. The armature lever is pro-
videf with hammers, which, in action.
strike upon q resonating plate: shifter
or switch at the side of the case draws the
hammers from the plate and reduces the
sound to minimum.
: Owing to the loudness Of the sound when
the hammers strike upon the resonating
plate, messages may be received with the
sounder placed on the table or desk, and
In this way it may also be used for call.
TINS combining in enc instrument both
loud and secret sounder. Should 1t be de-
sired to take q secret message. the sounder
Is adjusted from the outside by means of
the shifter referred to, which Is graded so
that the operator may regulate the volume
of sound TO suit his own ear. This may be
from the faintest click to the fun volume of
the loudest sounder. The instrument is
then worn on the head. The case and head
band being made Of hard rubber. insures
the operator from shock from abnormal
currents passing over the line.

AND ARTISTS.

Mr.. r. N. Brooke has in his studio a
number of canvases which he is prepar-
ing for the spring exhibition of the Society
Of Washington Artists, which opens here
on the 4th of next month. Most of the
motives are descriptive Of Warrenton, Va,
where he finds many excellent subjects.
One of the most thoroughly charming of
these is a sunset, in which there Is a rare
quality of color. On either side Of the
composition lines of trees stretch away
toward the horizon. and the foliage on the
left is bathed in the glowing light Of the
setting sun. There is a fine dramatic note
in the blood red patch of sky, which shows
through break in the trees near the hori-
ION. Several other canvases which Mr..
Brooke may exhibit this spring are in a
more unfinished state, such as the orchard
interior, and quiet-colored landscape,
where the masses Of foliage compose agree
ably. 1t is possible that he may work I'D
for the exhibition a broad, directly handled
sketch made from. nature. In this study a
brook, OOZing down between the steep clay
banks of the foreground, gives a decided
aspect Of novelty. Mr.. Brooke is hoping
to finish his large picture of negro life in
time to send it to the Omaha exposition,
1t presents a typical group of darIkies seat
ed round a table, and Is likely to prove as
popular as the artists former successful
work in the same line.
On Wednesday very interesting collec-
ton of miniatures by Miss Anne s. Hobbs
was placed on view at Veerhofrs, where
they will probably remain till the middle
Of next week. Among these are three por-
traits Of Mrs. Calvin s.. Brice. one of them,
full length view, being especially notable
from the fact that Mrs. Brice is pictured
in the elegant court gown worn by her at
the queens drawing7 room, and also be-
cause the background for the figure is a
corner Of the charming music room In the
old Corcoran house. One miniature which
was much admired attths exhibition of the
Society of Washington Artists last win
ter is again shown here, that of Mrs John
Sherwood. the we'll known. woman of let
tiers, whose forthcoming book will have
this portrait for its frontispiece. Not only
does Miss Hobbs succeed In obtaining ex-
cellent lfkenesses, but her work has a dis
tinctly artistic quality and exquisftely deli
