The Eight hour Question

Mr. Cook, the water works con-
.ractor is back from Topeka and has
no new light on whether he
can work his men and pay them by
he hour more than eight hours.
Mr.. Johnson. the labor commissioner
remains firm and Mr.. Cook has re-
tained a lawyer to advise him how to
settle the matter. 1t is possible that
a friendly suit may be instituted in
district court to decide if there is an
emergency here, and possibly Mr..
Pratt Williamson, the president of the
local carpenters union through whom
the complaint was made to Mr..
Johnson, may be mandamused
or garnished or hokuspokused
u la the legal rigamarole TO
settle it. Mr.. Cock says he found
workmen doing nine hours work on
the state house and in the state print
ing plant and drawing extra pay only
when they passed the ten hour limit,
and he is chagrined that he cannot be
permitted when the workmen them
selves are willing, to hav them wck
over eight hours and draw the same
pay for the extra hours that they do
for the eight, per hour.

THE TELEPHONOGRAPH.
An Instrument That Records Mes-
sages Received During the
Operators Absence.

A Dane of the name of Paulsen has
invented what is called the 'tele.
phonograph," designed to record mes
sages received during the absence of
the operator. The person called up
has only to hold the trumpet to his
ear upon returning to the office, even
after an obsence of days, to receive
the message. In the past inventors
have tried to effect such combina.
ton, but all failed on account of the
difficulty of transferring the message
to n wax cylinder. Instead of a wax
cylinder Paulsen used flexible steel
band in his phonograph, which is said
to be much simpler in construction
than the Edison phonograph. Mes,
sages are much more easily removed
from the steel band than from the
wax cylinder. 1t is wound on two
spools, moving quickly from one to
the other and coming in contact with
a very small electromagnetic, switched
into the circuit, which affects the
steel band in such way as to record
on it any sounds that may penetrate
to the phonograph. 1t is only neces-
sary to cause the steel band to repass
the magnet in order to have the
sounds repeated. Each vibration of
the electro-magnet produces COR
responding vibration of the steel
band. In order to remove message
from the steel band magnet is
passed over the surface on which the
meSSnOe XynS repor1ed
The machine has been tested by
practical men and scientists, with ex.
cellent practical results. Experts de-
clare that with few minor improve
ments the machine will repeat mes
sage as clearly as it can be heard
through perfect telephone.

of mechanism that looks something
like a whistle. This is the tongue of
the machine.
Instead of the records" being taken
on wax in the usual manner, sapphire
needle is made TO cut the dots repre-
senting the sound vibrations on a sill
YER cylinder, and when the needle trav-
els over the metal second time the
vibrations cause the whistle to produce
a series of air waves. and the machine
thus becomes a talking siren which
transforms the human voice into deaf
eping roar.
The experiments were made near the
DEVILS Dyke, Brighton, where the in-
ventor had his workshops. The instru-
ment was placed on the roof of the la
boratory. and was made 10 repeat a
number Of sentences. At distance of
ten miles the sounds were plainly heard
by a large number of people, every
word being perfectly distinct, and at
a second trial with n favorable wind it
was found that an unknown message
could be taken down in shorthand at
distance of IL miles. Over the water
the sounds will carry still further, and
under favorable circumstances they
might easily be heard by persons on

a lighthouse or lightship the phono.

would be infinitely more effective than
the foghorns and detonators at present

ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS.
Detailed Account of Experiments By
which Microscopic stones Have
Becn Obtained.

In the production of small crystals
of carbon (diamond) in the electrical
furnace it has been a matter of dis
pute whether the enormous pressure
exerted upon the interior of the mol
ten mass had anything to do with
crystallization. Experiments carried
out by Majorana show that in all
probability 1t idoes.' AS described by
Mr.. f. MaQowocPerkin. in Nature,
these experiments were carried out
as follows. Says Mr.. Perkin:
at is well known that synthetical
diamonds have been obtained by
means of the electric furnace; char
coal obtained from sugar is rammed
into wrought-iron cylinder, which
is then closed With plug. The
cylinder so filled is placed in bath
of molten iron kept at high tenn
perature in an electric furnace, after
which the crucible which contains
the iron is rapidly cooled by INNER
sion in melted Lead. On dissolving
the iron in acid minute diamonds are
obtained. 1t was. u question wheth-
er here we hadila case of simple crys-
tallization of the carbon from the
molten metal on cooling, or whether
the enormous pressure which was eX
erted upon the interior of the mass
by the r2pid cooling of the outside
acting upon the carbon at high tenn
perature causedoithel formation of
crystals of diamonds. An exceeding
ly ingenious experiment which has
been carried out by Majorana shows
that at any rate the influence of high
pressure and high. temperature COM
bined is sufficient to convert amor
phous carbon into crystalline variety.
