PHONE ROUND EARTH
IOWA ELECTRICIANS INVENT
NEW WIRE SYSTEM.
Sioux City Men Claim to Have Or
z iginated Device Which Will
Make All the People Each
Others Neighbors.

Sioux City, Ia.-Two Sioux City cleo
tricians, M. l.. Garrett and E. w. Pres
ton, claim to have found way to talk
around the world.
BY the use of an invention Just pat
ented by them it will apparently be as
easy for Americans to converse with
their neighbors in Europe as II has been
TO talk ten blocks across the city.
Only girdle the world with wire, these
men declare. and they will make il pos
sible for the Swiss maiden in her Alpine
home to flirt in the morning with young
men on Florida plantations. Only bisect
the two American continents with cop
per wire. they declare, and II will be
mere child's play for the Iowan to order
cattle from Patagonia over the tele-
phone.
And II is true that the instrument is
quite simple. Loosely speaking. it
might be said that It consists OF tele-
phone receiver put to the mouth Of a
telephone transmitter. In other words.
that 1t brings the ear-piece of the or
binary telephone up TO mouthpiece
that the earpiece may talk into the
mouthpiece and sent on the sound
Garrett and Preston solved the prob
lem by putting together what are really
two separate telephones. The central
piece is a Eureka transmltter. such as Is
used by many telephones to-day. This
is simply the diaphragm, or disk, seen
In any mouthpiece. the vibrations Of
which aro oart et,ar thc ...t.o
Back OF this disk are placed two cleo
tro-magnets These electro magnets
are similar 90 those used in telephone
receivers, so, roughly speaking, it might
be said that two receivers are put
against this disk. The sound from one
direction comes over one of these cleo
tro-magnets. or receivers. is commune
Gated directly to the disk. which VII
brates just as the disk in the original
instrument. and the sound Is sent on
Just as II came from the original instru-
ment, 200 miles away Sound from the
other direction passes over the other
slectro-fnagnet and to the disk. aud
goes on iis way in the opposite direc-
ton, and thus people at opposite ends OF
the wire can converse with one another.
Heretofore only one receiver magnet
has been used in devices OF this kind and
this is why II has never before been pos
sible TO talk but one way The manner
In which the two currents are kept sep
arate is not explained by the inventors.
