TARIFF TRlCKERY.
Consumer Hoodwinked by Classics
tim l,,ool;nn

Consumer Hoodwinked by classifica-
ton Juggling.
He is wise consumer that knows
how much he is taxed by the tariff
It was not the intention of those who
framed it that he should know. The
tricks Of classification are calculated
to battle all but trained experts.
The Journal Of Commerce recently
called attention to what it calls a
"Typical Tariff Juggle" perpetrated
by these gentlemen:
Little attention was paid by the
public to the enormous increase in the
duty on silks and cotton mixed goods
dyed in the piece, made at the last
moment in the new tariff by the con-
ference committee. Goods which were
paying 60 cents per pound under the
D1ngley tariff were advanced to 70
cents in the senate bill, but by quietly
changing the figures in conference
Goods weighing from two to eight
ounces per square yard to Goods
weighing from two and one-half to
eight ounces per square yard the
greater proportion of this class OF
goods was thrown into the schedule
paying IS cents per pound instead OF
from 60 to 20 cents as the senate in
tended, thus making an increase Of
above 40 per cent over the DingleJ
tariff and absolutely prohibiting i'm
portation on the lower grades"

Hello! hello! is this Chicago?"
Every day these five words are
asked by New York parties and in
the same instant the voice in far
away Chicago answers. Truly it is
wonderful. this conversing with
friends nine hundred and seventy
miles away as easily as though
they sat beside you and with every
natural tone and characteristic of
the voice maintained and faithfully
recorded.
Few of US know that it is not
actually our friends voice that we
hear when we use the telephone.
1t is merely an accurate repro
duction of that voice faithfully
copied, remembered and repeated
by that marvel of all marvels-
electricity.
If the telephone was but a me-
dunn to transmit sound waves it
would be far, indeed, from the con-
venience it is now. Sound travels
very slowly when compared with
electricity or light, as the speed
of sound waves through the air is
only 1890 feet second. 1t is nine
hundred and seventy miles from
New York to Chicago or 5,102,20O
feet; therefore it would take sound
wave 1851 seconds to travel the dis
lance, supposing, of course. it
were possible for sound to travel
that distance and be audible. This
equals seventy-eight minutes or
an hour and eighteen minutes.
Therefore. if you said Hello" in
this end of a sound-wave line you
would have to wait two hours and
tnirty-six minutes to get an answer
from Chicago to mention what
the tolls would be for an ordinary
conversation at the usual rates.
i Sound waves can be likened to
waves in mill pond when a stone
disturbs the calm water. The waves
start out in complete circles and
run slower and fatter until they
fade away entirely or run ul
against something. The human
voice is audible in ordinary CONVEX,
sation for only a few yards and the
lusty voice of a strong man on 9
still morning can be heard less than
a mile. Giant siren whistles car
be heard in still air for about three
miles and much further than that
if the wind is blowing from the
whistle to the listener shorter
if conditions are reversed. Can.
non and thunder can be heard the
farthest. The speaking tube is the
only telephone which actually trans
mits sound waves in the air

THE STORY or THE TELEPHONE,

Sound will also travel through me-.
tai, water, gases and most any
other solid or gaseous substances,
and is greatly muff1ed by soft
fbers such as wool, cotton, sawdust.
dirt, etc. Sound waves can also
be transmitted in a crude way.
through wire. and short telephones
have been actually constructed af-=
ter this plan. ~.
In some respects sound waves
are like light waves. They may
be reflected. as everyone who has lis.
tened to an echo can testify, refra-
cted or bent out of their natural
course, or diffracted. sent through
an open window, or a hole in a
building; but they travel very slow
ly because their way through the
air IS SO difficult and they soon
lose their force and die out.
The human voice is produced
mechanically, Edison proved this
when he made a machine out Of
wood, wax and iron which could
falkland still talks. Words are
nothing but vibrations in the air
produced by similar vibrations Of
the cords in the larynx; therefore
a common metal disk can be made
to make these same vibrations and
actually repeat the human voice.
Without electricity it would be
quite impossible to talk from New
York to Chicago or Denver as we
can very easily do to-day, sound
waves would not carry outside the
great metropolis. What really
happens is as follows: The voice
causes very thin metal diaphragm
in the telephone to vibrate in SYM
pathy with the voice. This vibrat-
ing disk oscillates in front of a
magnate which sends little currents
of electricity along the wires which
are in turn repeated by similar
magnet on the other end of the
line. This second magnet, influ-
enced by the electricity from the
first diaphragm, causes tAe dia-
phragm in the receiver to vibrate
just as the first one did. and of
course in vibrating it repeats in
Chicago what was said to it in New
York in exactly the same tone.
Electricity travels at a speed of
1856, 600 miles second. This is so
nearly instantaneous that it can be
measured only with the most deli
cate instruments. The time it
takes electricity. carrying the hui
man voice, to go from New York
to Chicago is so infinitesimally
small that it can hardly be record
ed in comprehensive figures. There
fore, the modern telephone is near
ly instantaneous.
