seems exactly like The real tones,
drawn out thin and small and carried
from long distance by some mechan-
ical means, but it isn't. When one
speaks into the instrument, little
diaphragm, like a drumhead, begins to
vibrate, and each vibration sends
wave Of electricity over the wire. These
waves set up mimic vibration in am
other diaphragm at the opposite end,
which Jars the air and produces an
imitation of the original voice.

handwriting, is a fair parallel You

COnyicts Who Smoke MariguRna

In southern Mexico the Jail and pris-
on officials experience great difficulty
in trying to prevent the smuggling into
their institutions of the seductive
mariguana.
This is a kind of loco" weed, more
powerful than opium. 1t grows from
seed by cultivation in southern Ari-
IONA and in Mexico. 1t is a danger
Gus thing for the uninitiated to handle,
but those who know it's uses say 1t
produces more delightful dreams than
opium.
The Mexicans mix it with tobacco
and smoke it in cigarettes, inhaling
the smoke. When used in this way,
it produces hilarious spirit in the
smoker that cannot be equaled by any
other form of dissipation. The govern
or of the prison at Yuma has just I'M
earthed large quantity of the weed
that had been hidden within reach OF
the convicts who work in outside
