SPEECHES. over TELEPHONE
House Members Will Soon Be Able
to Listen to Speeches Miles Away.

Experiments recently conducted by
the Superintendent of the Capitol at
Washington have proved so thorough
ly the value of the ACQUISITION" that
1t is expected that the device will
soon be permanently installed in the
House of Representatives.
The ACQUISITION is a sound intensih-
er, having the appearance Of a small
black metal disk. and will stand up
right on the Speakers desk. To the
disk is attached a cable, which con-
meets with n number of ordinary
telephone wires. 1t is intended that
these wires run to every committee
room and Office in the Capitol build
ing, and to the Office rooms in the
new Congressional Office Building
when that is completed.
In each Office will be an ordinary
telephone receiver, and in order to
know what is taking place on the floor
of the House a person has merely to
place this receiver to his ear, when
every word spoken in the chamber
may be heard with perfect distinct
uSo5B dS wen, III IaCl, as IL one were
standing at the Speakers desk.
Thus a member will be able to keep
track of the course of Official business
without having to leave his Office or
committee room until some bill comes
up in which he is interested.
While this has not yet been actually
demonstrated, there appears to be no
reason why an ordinary long distance
wire might not be connected with one
of the acousticon wires, and a member
in New York or Chicago listen to the
speeches being made in the House OF
Representatives.
Another somewhat similar device,
planned for the more personal use of
members, Is the photograph, by means
of which a Representative may sit in
his office or walk up and down the
floor, and dictate to a st~enographer
several floors removed. When he has
finished, If he desires to have the let
ter read over to him, he may press a
button, and the stenOgrapher's read
ing will be heard with distinctness
anywhere in the room.

PEARY OUTLINES HIS PLANS
Thinks He Can Reach the Pole Next
Time He Tries.

Lecturing recently before the Brook
Iyn institute on his last Arctic expe-
dition, Commander r. e. Peary exhi-
sited on a map a new course which he
said he would take IN his next ven
ture into the far north and which, he
believed, would take him to the pole.
On his last voyage, he explained, he
had, through lack of knowledge of the
virgin ice in the far Arctic, made a
mistake in not making certain allow
ances for currents.
Trying again, he would leave his
ship in its last winter berth, travel
overland to the west and then allow
the current to bear him on the NOV
ing ice, northeast and east, assist
ing him toward the pole. Returning,
he would again drift eastward, calcu-
lating to land on the northeastern
coast of Greenland. Commander Peary
said that he had devoted his life to
the work.
