POSTAL CARD THAT TALKS.
BY Means Of PhohopostaI One Can
Hear Voice Ct a Correspondent.
10 Nofura

1t viii doubtless be a source of pleas
ure to the collectors of souvenir postal
cards to know that we now. have a
talking card. The photograph of the
twentieth century is an entirely new
invention, and one that Is destined 10
reyolutioniZe the industry. The phono-
postal is an apparatus that registers
and reproduces the human voice by
means of Ii sheet of cardboard. The
idea of substituting a sheet of paper,
which may be sent as letter, for the
wax cylinder Of ordinary monographs
originated with Jules Verne, but the
scheme as worked out today came
from the artist. NJ. Armbruster, and
was made possible by the experiments
of NM. L. Marotte, Bucherioux and
TOchOW
The advantages of the phonopostal
are many. While one is touring, this
apparatus, occupying the space of two
or three boxes of writing paper, may
be put in the automobile or valise, and
one Is a position TO register on the
prepared card the impressions of the
journey. Again, the explorer may re-
ceiVe news from home, not only the
routine news of the ordinary letter, but
he may hear also the voices OF his COR
respondents. This experience may be
renewed indefinitely, as the card will
times. The cards may be used TO reg
lister the songs of different countries,
and on the back Of the card the Gus
tomary Photographic views may be
printed. The postal, in fact, is pre-
pared on the address side and the mark
traced by the point of the diaphragm
is so hard that the postOffice stamp
does not affect it in the least. The adj
dress is written on the prepared side
without the slightest injury TO the reg
istered sentence.
The voice is thrown into a little fun
mel which is placed in contact with
the registering needle. The latter is a
sapphire point which passes over lay
er of preparation known as sOnorine,
which has been previously spread over
the paper. The chief merit Of the in
VentiOn is in having found a substance
that could be easily spread over sheet
of paper, which possesses all of the
advantages of wax. One of the par
ticular advantages of the sonOrine is
that IL can stand the hard usage Of
the post. The sounds are inscribed by
means OF a spiral which commences at
the edge of the card and proceeds to-
ward the center, finally stopping out
side of a circle about the size of a
quarter. The number of words that
may be sent on each card is between
seventy-fiye and eighty. The con-
struction OF the apparatus is very in
geniOus. First, IT was necessary TO
make a machine that could be sold at
a very low price. Then, the machines
had TO be regulated in such way that
the reproduction might be made with
one which came from the factory
months and years after the registration
on the card was first made. This re-
suit was obtained by careful regula-
ton of the speed of each machine.
And last, the constructors had TO in
vent q very sensitive diaphragm, not
only for registering, but also for re-
production.

Newton, a painter, was found today

The girls face had been disffsuTed by

that death resulted from violence he

Miss Newton recently had brooded

HoIIister Tells Plans.

The great plans of the company, the
work thus far accomplished and what
II means to Salt Lake City can be best
told in the words OF Mr.. Hollister. who
gave the following interview at the
Kenyon last night:
Work on the hydraulic end OF our
power plant at Shoshone Falls began
last April and is practically completed
There are now fifty men at work AL
ready we have strung wires to Twin
Falls City, four ailes distant, and the
residents of that place and the farmers
all about there have wired their homes
in preparation for the turning of the
wheels which are 20 manufacture the
power.
An machinery is on the ground, and
II is to be installed as soon as possible
OF course it must be understood that
While we have completed all work for
10000 horsepower from the hydraulic
standpoint, we develop our plant to it's
full power capacity by units.
That is, there is one large tunnel
built through solid rock and through
which we will get the fall for our dy-
namos. There are a number Of divert
ing channels leading 10 power wheels.
ana we can Increase the capacity of
the plant to the limit by degrees.
