times day, and, strangely enough,
most of these visits occurred just at
meal times. One morning he arrived
before Miss Wheatcakes breakfast was
served. He feared that he was too late
for the meal, but, being too polite to
inquire, merely looked about with anx-
ious stealth for some signs of prepara-
tion. Miss Wheatcake saw his pertur-
baton, but said nothing to relieve it,.
Presently Tommy remarked: Amt

tiOns in the open air that can be lis

he heard high above the roar of the
traffic and the thousand noises of a big
city. You can whisper a sentence into
the machines small funnel-shaped
mouthpiece and it will repeat it in tones
that are more deafening than the
shrieks of liners steam siren. Yet
every word is perfectly articulated, and
n shorthand writer ten miles away can
take down the message as easily as If
you were debating to him in small
room.
In appearance the machine is merely
an ordinary photograph, with large
trumpet measuring four feet in length.
Inside this trumpet there is Il small and
delicate piece 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 silver
cylinder, and when the needle travels
over the metal second time the yibra-
tions cause the whistle to produce a
series of air waves. and the machine
thus becomes a talking siren which
transforms the human voice into a
deafening roar.

Devils dyke Brighton, where the in
Ventor had his workshops. The instru-
ment was placed on the roof of the la
bCratOry and was made to repeat a
number of sentences. At distance Of
ten miles the sounds were plainly heard
by large number of people. every
word being perfectly distinct, and al Il
second trial with Il favorable wind it
was found that an unknown message
could be taken down in shorthand at a
distance of twelve miles. Over the wa
ter the sounds will carry still further,
and under favorable circumstances
they might easily be heard by persons
on vessel fifteen miles out ut sea.
