TIL probIem presented such ditiicui-

tte confidence in Edison's Researches.
recently. however. the distinguished
inventor invited several ne~spape1
men to his laboratory and showed
,l,Dm some thinss that astonisheG
them.
said the Tribunes representatives:
During the past fifteen years, MI
Edison has repeatedly attempted 10
realize his day dream; over ara over
again he has been disappointed. lie
! has pitched in :gain and SHOWN re
suits: but he has thought it necessary
tn make excuses for these primltfV"
disclosures. and has announced that ne
could predict no conclusive success
for the immediate future.
TO reach tie desired result, as he
explains, the inventor must overcome
two difficulties. First. he must so i'm
hot II i'll
faithfully reproduce the quality o.
the voice and of sentimental music
Next, he must find an extremely ac-
. curate device for making the graphic
phone and the biograph keep time.
"Ir our opinion, it is still to be
,, demonstrated that marked progress
has been made in this direction. There
Is ar old story :nat fits the case ad-
mirably. After the Emperor Charles

trying to make three clocks keep the

our confrere adds. silly. Mr.. Edi-
son may occupy his declining years

ordination of the two Inventions: II
he fails. ne will at least have dis
covered a very harmless pastime.
You see what are the fundamental
elements of the problems Of which
the Tribune calls incoluhle. They are
three-all of which NJ. Gaumont mas
assailed successfully:
1. The absolute synchronism Of the
biograph and the graphophone.
.. The registering of sounds at 4
sufficient distance to catch sounds by
, means of the graphone at the exact
! moment when the corresponding pic
lures are caught by the biograph
