Between our laboratory and the
national bureau OF standards, seven
miles away, we receive them over all
sorts of telephone lines OF the city
clrcuit-undergro wires and over
head lines-and they pass through
several Of the city switchboards or
centrals.

uses is exactly the same az employed
in ordinary phoning. You may re-

wireless telegraphy are connected.
There are no buzzes or cracking
sparks such as the wireless opera

ate for stage effect. And only one
wire is necessary. whereas in our
phones of today a pair are needed.
How Messages Get to Right Person.
But how can you send several mes.
sages along the same wire and then
sort them out again, so that the prop
er ear receives the messages from
the mouth that is talking TO It?
This is effected by proper tuning" ."
The wire has a separate fork, so to
speak. for each message to be sent or
received along it. Let us say tina,
there are FIVE forks and one man con-
nected with each fork. All five are
talking at once along the same wire.
The first mans phone is tuned to
one hundred thousand vibrations per
second. the second mans to ninety
thousand, the third mans to eighty
thousand, the fourth to seventy thou
sand and the fifth TO sixty thousand.
Each talks to a phone at the other
end of the line, tuned for the time
being exactly as his is.
Tests lately made-with music pro
duced by the most delicate talking
machines-show that the new system
carries the voice with much greater
clearness than can be effected with
the old.
The first great use Of the new sys
