for me to leave here for Austin on reg
ular court business this (Monday)
morning, to be absent 10 or II days, or
maybe for a longer time. Delays. they
say, are dangerous and may afford an

his attorney. and clerk. have my thanks
for their respective parts in enabling me
to declare this second dividend at this
opportune moment"

Recently l told the story of the late

late Amos ]. Cummings and myself had
reported to Mr.. Dana that Edison had
demonstrated the machine to US, even
going SO far as to make it reproduce
Mr.. Cummings own voice, infection
and all, with distinction.
After he had shown us the talking
machine, explained its mechanism and
made it perform for us, Mr.. Edison
went on to say that he got the idea
for the machine while he was at work
perfecting his microphone transmitter,
extensively employed in the earlier
telephones.
"One invention almost invariably
suggests another" he went on. "Al
sorts Of notions came to me while
was working out this talking machine.
One of them you will see in that big
funnel up there" He pointed to a
shelf upon which rested, or hung, q
curious-looking object resembling gi-
gantic funnel Of about tall man

he went on, that there's going to be
more profit In that thing than in this
talking machine here. I have about

more than toy, after all, but that
thing over there-well. I'll show you
how it works."
He called two of his assistants to
his side and directed them to take
their station on the crown of a hill
about half mile away.
While they were doing so, Mr.. Edi-
son had the big funnel shaped thing
taken out in front of his shop. Then,
