WHISPERING TELEPHONE.
By Which Messages Can Be Sent in
Privacy When People Are
Close By.

The secrephone is the whispering
telephone A message can be whispered
into II so that person standing but
yard away cannot hear what is being
said, while every word is correctly
transmitted to the receiver at the other
end of the line, mile away or more
For this TO be done the massage must
be actually whispered. II spoken more
loudly, OF course, the speaker can be
heard more than yard away from the
transmitting instrument. Properly
used, however, a message can be sent
In privacy even with people quite close.
AS presen. experience goes. ii requires
some little practice to pitch the voice
correctly so as to get the best results
with the faintest whisper. But the
lesson is not difficult to learn People
with high pitched voices Will undoubt
sdly make themselves heard more dis
tinctly at the other end of the line
with less noise at the transmitting end
.hsn is possible for those with low
pitched voices. Tie instrument is
claimed to be practically imperishable
and cannot get out of order with ordi
nary use. People that Are little deaf
and cannot hear with ordinary tele-
phones can hear quite distinctly when
secrephone is used. A bad or indis
tinct line is said also to be made quite
clear under the most adverse circum-
stances when this magical instrument
is employed; the volume of sound on
trunk lines and long-distance tele-
phones is increased threefold, and the
troubles caused by induction and cross
circuits are largely overcome. Further
more, It being small of size and light
OF weight, can be carried and used for
attachment to any telephone, and thus
the need for the stuffy telephone boxes
Is obviated.

From the nation,

From the Nation
MADRID, May 20.--XMelegation
Of the foremost men in the clospber %
deputies and senate, without N5tinc-
ton Of party, visited the Pardo p3l9ce
hast night and presented Princess Erh
of Battenberg the future queen or
Spain, with an address Of welcome on
behalf Of the Spanish nation This ac-
ton Is significant of the sincere cor
dlality with which Spain has received
the foreign princess.
King Alfonso, with Princess Ena, re-
ceiyed the visiting statesmen in the
grand salon OF the Pardo palace, Senior
Canalajes, president of the c0rtes, adj
dressing the princess, said
'Madam-We come before your roy
al highness both as representatives Of
the parliament OF Spain and as repre-
sentatlves Of the nation to convey 10
you the assertion, without the slight
est Semblance Of hattery. that II the
nation itself had chosen spouse
for its king as our august sovereign
has seen fit to select queen for his
people the aspirations Of Don Alfonso
XIII. would have conceded most hap
PLY and completely with the wishes of
his people. His majesty has been a
model son and model brother, which
inspires us to confidence that he viii
be model husband.
"As to parliament. we will do our Mt
most that your highness may he happy
in Spain and may not regret parting
from your native land.
Your higmesS in aiding the task Of
the king will work for the good Of
Spain and 10 this noble purpose let us
all cOnsecrate our best efforts"
Lopez Dominique president Of the
senate, spoke in similar strain
The municipality Of Madrid also ex-
tended It's salmtatlons TO the princess
and presented her with an address.
Princess Ena received the city's repre-
SentativeS most graciously, conversmg
with the leaders of the delegation
Later King Alfonso took Princess
Ena in an automobile TO the Escurial,
where wreaths were placed on the
tombs of Spanish soyerelgns buried
there.
The gifts which the royal couple are
receiving are almost indescrbable
The princess will give the bridegroom
sword with jeweled hilt and the
Scabbard sumptuously decorated with
allegorical devices His gift TO her
will be the crown gems. reset and tax
en from ancient iewelry In possession
Of the sovereign. One Of the pendants
is composed Of enormous pearls which
the king selected from hundreds sub
mltted TO him. The jewels alone are
said TO be worth 100000.
