The constantly growing Importance
of commerce on the Pacific is indicated
by the charting of ''lanes" for steam
ers crossing that ocean. Such lanes
have been established for great many
years between Europe and America
and have greatly diminished the risks
of collision. There is still danger, how
ever, of collision of steamers with sail
ing ships, especially in the foggy re-
gion off the Newfoundland coast, but
such vessels generally kno when they
are in one of the steamship lanes and
therefore take extra precautions to
avoid danger.

stamped and corduroy velvet for those

init the more expensive qualities.

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TALK.
Latest Talking-Mnchine Invented in
England Which Operates on an
Entirely New Principle.

The physical properties of sound
embrace a wide field, and, though
one might suppose that the possible
varieties of talking-machines had
been pretty well exhausted, such
does not appear to be the case. A
new one has appeared in England
which is based on a principle alto
gether novel, depending upon photcg-
raphy for its effects, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
The contrivance in question util-
ICES a flame, lighted at the mouth of
pipe which is expanded below into
a sort of box. On one side of the box
is diaphragm, against which per-
son talks. The vibrations of the
flame, as one might expect, to jump
up and down.
Now, while the talking goes on, the
jumping flame is photographed on a
moving film, the result being a band
of varying intensity. To reproduce
the sounds, beam of light is pro-
jected through this band upon a
selenium cell which is included in a
circuit with battery and tele-
phone.
The electrical corductivity of the
selenium is varied by light, and the
result of the passing of the beam is
to cause varia tons in the current of
the telephone circuit. Any varia-
tions in air-waves make sound, and
thus the original voice of the speak
er is accurately reproduced.
Sound records made in this way
can be multiplied Indefinitely by the
use of photography.
