less telephony follows close upon its
heels. and ia this a searehught trans
mits the sound. The rays OF light are
made 20 perform the function OF the
wire I'm common telephony.
The inventor is "a Mr. Hammond v,
Hayes. an engineer In the employ OF
the Bell Telephone company Boston
lie has succeeded iu talking 20 a Light

It IS only O question of time when the
apparatus shall be so perfect that cone

possible over considerable distances
The practical utility OF this invention
Is apparent 70 the most casual OBJ
server.
A contributor TO Parsons Magazine
describes the new discovery. Like
many great inventions. the radiophone,
asItis called. Is so simple that o. child
can understand 70. Az the sending
point is q sound proof telephone box.
on the table in this box, there are four
uansm0ttors. and the -Four pair OF wires
that run from these uansmittera cz-
tend 10 the back of an ordinary search
light placed inside the box.
The one who receives the message
also has au ordinary telephone box. but
instead OF the wire telephone receiver
there SIS q circular concaye mirror, In
the center OF which is set q glass bulb
half filled with carbonIzed hlament
The small end OF this bulb penetrates
through the back Of the mirror where
Il fits into Che end Of an ordinary
photograph ear tube. The apparatus
is thus complete.
When communication Is desired, the
searchlght at the sending station Is
thrown upon the mirror at the re-
ceiving station. and any person who
places the tube TO bis ear can hear the
voice Of the speaker at the sending
station. as clearly as 81 he were IN
the same room. no matter what the
distance u.s. The explanation is that
heat waves can be transmitted in a
beam of light to a receiver capable OF
reproducing delicate sound vibrations
with accuracy. In the words OF the in
yentor. as quoted IN Pearson's:
"The transmltters are especially ar
