place the lips within half an inch Of
the mouthpiece and speak in consid-
erably lower tone than you ordinarily
use in face-to-face conversation.
The reason for this Is simple. Just
behind the mouthpiece is an Alumni
um diaphragm backed with very thin
sheet Of hard carbon. Between this
sheet of carbon and the points of con-
tact of the wires Is a space filled with
finely powdered carbon.
The sound waves Of the voice make
the aluminium diaphragm vibrate and
this in turn affects the carbon sheet,
which stirs the graduated carbon be-
hind it.
The electrical current that is pass
ing through the carbon powder feels
all these vibrations, however slight, and
reproduces them in the receiver and
the other end of the line, setting in mo-
ton sound waves corresponding to
those In the transmitter.
If you shout at the transmltter the
vibrations may be so violent as to re-
suit In only confusing tumble at the
other end Of the wire. Besides, loud
talking through telephone is distress.
ing to the listener, who, you must re-
member, gets the full volume of sound
very close to his ear.
II you hear telephone man talking
by wire you will notice that he drawls
his words little-not enough to make
conversation noticeably slow, but suf-
fciently 30 that one word is started on
Its way before another can tread on its
heels
Clipping words, which is sometimes
done under the impression that it gives
them a sharper sound, is mistake.
Even for talking over considerable dis
tances the voice should be lowered in
telephone conversations. - Brooklyn

The First Gas Tubes.

William Murdock a Scottish mining
engineer employed in the Redrutil
mines. Cornwall, appears to have been
the first to suggest that gas might he
conveyed in tubes and used instead OF
lamps and candles. He made very
ingenious gas lantern for himself, with
which he used to light his way over
the Cornish moors at night. This lail-
tern consisted of bag flied with gai
and fitted With a tube, at the end OF
which the gas could be lighted. Carry
ing the bag under his arm, Murdoch
used to light his way home at night.
On meeting amy one it is said that he
would give the bag squeeze and thus
send out long tongue of flame. This
led to his being looked upon as the
demon of the Cornish moors.--London

WATCHING JAPAN
ESE BATTLESHIP

Norfolk, Va, May 9.-American
naval officers are watching with
great interest the appearance and
movements of the Japanese armored
cruiser Taukuga Their interest is
explained by the facts: First, that
this ship, with speed on natural
draught of about % knots, which
is better than any of our own
cruisers can do, was turned out OF
a japanese shipyard by Japanese
Norkmen, who are just beginning
naval construction; yet, according
to naval experts. the ship is per
feet in every detail; second, that
the Takuga was under commission
and on the high seas within two
years from the time her keel was
laid down in Japan No such
speed OF construction as this has
even been attained in American
shipyar,ls. at least where naval
work is concerned and the best
British record. namely, in the case
of the Dreadnaught, is only slight
ly better than that made by the
japanese shipwrights in the build
ing of the Taukuga
