happy say that since left the Bread Loaf

We wish to in this connection tha-whst have for
years opposed all undulatoy theories,

In work upon this book the desirabity of

arranged for certain experiments Midebury with following
results
The recorder placed in with blank cylinder

for record The cylinder in motion Halloong

The recorder passed portion of cylinder without
sound being uttered forming only grooves then the cylinder

onehalf circumference which quite large number OF
ndenres made the production of each letter This suggests
the explanation of the different colors in sound for though
similar, all these ndentations vary little

Result good record song Home, Sweet Home but

Three skilled musicians played Grand March, with piano

The cornet violin played at the different
different keys the piano accompanying the latter in
different key and in spite of discord fairly good record
obtained of each instrument
1t suggested in Ellen that the ndentures made by
the different sounds themselves conducted by the diaram and
stylus into the paran and This view taken avoid
the apparent difficulty of several records being made the
when orchestra playedby the operation
of the resultant of several forces.
We have criticism of this explanation in "EHn,
has any been made But the above experiments show
that the stylus vbratesor lifting the recorder up
when the music playing including the cornet quite
powerful inumentG and holding finger against it,
could feel the vbratoy and quite possible that

uttered into the megaphone and the daram it would
