Those who think that invention is
approaching its limits would do well
to consider the fact stated by M. Abra-
ham, an authority on this subject, that
the best telephone does not transmit
TO the ear more than one One-thou-
sandth Of the energy that 1t receives
from the line. Although there may be
cases in which one could wish tina, the
telephone would transmit less rather
than more, yet, seriously, 1t is a chal-
lenge to inventors, as well as an in
dictment of human inefficiency, when
an instrument of such universal utili-
ty is allowed to remain so prodlgal.
