THE PHoNoCARD.

A phonocard has been invented by
a German which is finding much IA
vor abraod. but has not yet found
its way TO this country. A descrip-
ton OF the novelty Is as follows: For
producing the Photographic postal
card an apparatus is used which re-
cords the human voice upon piece
OF pasteboard OF the form OF the card
which. it is claimed. has many ad-
vantages over writing, as II cannot
be deciphered except by a reproduc-
ing machine. The recording OF the
human voice is done by an ordinary
phonograph OF simple construction.
by means OF pencil with a sap
phire point. This pencil makes it's
impression upon a suitable substance
called "sonorine" spread upon the
surface or the card. The sonorine.
which can be easily spread over
pasteboard. possesses all the proper
ties OF wax cylinder. and is i'm real
ity the invention. The signs are
impressed I'm form OF a spiral, be-
ginning at the margin of the card
and ending In very small circle. and
are impressed SO deeply that the
stamping by the postal authorities
can only destroy two or three words.
The card has ample space for about
80 words.-New York Times.
