Sound from Electric Lamp.

Experiments in electricity by stu
dents of the Texas university engin-
eering department have resulted in
the production of articulate sound
from a common arc lamp. the feeding
wire of which is connected with tel
ephone.
DIR. A. c. Scott has interested him
self in the experiment and says the
result is due to the fact that the VI
brations in the carbon of the lamp
correspond exactly to those of an or
binary telephone receiver. The talk
ing lamp is located in a room some
distance from the phone In the en-
cheering building. and students
standing directly under it are able to
hear conversations over the phone
with perfect distinctness.
Noises or conversations In the
phone room cannot be heard at that
distance when communication with
the phone is cut on.
