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

Sioux City, Ia.-Two Sioux City cleo
tricians, Nj. L. Garrett and B. w. Pres
ton, claim to have found way to talk
around the woAld.
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 IL has been
TO talk ten blocks across the city
Only girdle the world with wire, these
men declare, and they viii make 1t pos
sible for the Swiss maiden in her Alpine
home to fiirt in the morning with young
men on Florida plantations. Only bisect
the two American continents with cop
per wire, they declare, and it will be
mere child's play for the lowan to order
cattle from Patagonia over the tele-
phone.
And it 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 transmtter. In other words,
that 1t brings the ear-piece of the or
dinary telephone up to a 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 Eureka transmitter. such as Is
used by many telephones to-day. This
is simply the diaphragm, or disk seen
in any mouthpiece. the vibrations Of
which are sent over the wire.
Back of this disk are placed two cleo
magnets These electromagnetic
are similar to those used in telephone
receivers so. roughly speaking. 1t 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 communi-
Gated directly to the disk. which vi
brates just as the disk in the original
instrument and the sound is sent on
just az II came from the original instru-
ment 200 miles away. Sound from the
other direction passes over the other
alectro-magnet and TO the disk. and
goes on its 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 It 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.

When the election but a few days
oil, It Is evident that the only thing
that can possibly menace Republican
success, would be d large stay-at-
home vote. That sickness, bad
weather, inGrmlties, or some other
like calamity would induce large
number OF Republicans to stay at
home, would be TO the exact liking Of
the Democrats, as it might bring sue
cess to an otherwise doomed ticket.
The Republicans must remember that
a majority such as legitimately be-
longs to us in this county, is small
compared to the total vote, and that
few remaining at home in each pre-.
cinct might bring defeat to the tick
ct, Remember, individual Republi
cans, that every vote counts, and
that no one should hazard party sue
cess by remaining at home. Your
vote may determine the election.
Therefore, see that nothing deters
you from casting it in favor of the
