of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better
in two months; in six months he was well.

LAMP LIGHTS BY REQUEST.
Wisconsin. Man. Invcnts Burner
Which Obeys When Spoken To.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.--Two unique
inventions have been secured for an
electrical show to be held in the Coli
scum January IA to 16. One of these
is an electric lamp which becomes
lighted when spoken to and the other
is talking lamp. They are inven-
tons of Frank Moulan. While there
is no practical use to which either
may be put, they demonstrate the
modes of electricity.
The incandescent lamp that lights
when spoken to is reality. The de-
vice is simple. Just an ordinary
telephone transmitter with highly
sensitive diaphragm, which vibrates
to such an extent when in contact
with the human voice that it touches
wire that starts the motor for the
lights.
The speaking arc light is also a
reality and simple device. 1t is
wired from a highly sensitive tele-
phone transmitter, into which the
voice is injected, the sounds being
more than audible reproduced from
the suffering carbons of the lamp.
To laymen the effect is startling, par
ticularly in instances where the
transmitter and person talking are
not in view. Mr.. Moulans home and
stables at Lake Beulah, Wis, are
lighted by an electrical plant which
he installed last summer.
