Somebody said that it couldn't be DONE
But he with chuckle replied,
That maybe 1t couldnt t." but he would

On his face, if he worried he hid it.

Somebody scoffed: oh. you'll never do

At least no one ever has done it,;
But he took off his coat, and he took off
his hat.
And the first thing we knew he'd be-
gun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a
grin,
Without any doubling or quittin'
He started TO sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it,
There are thousands to tell you it can not

There are THOUSANDS to propheSy failure:
There are thousands to point out to you

The dangers that wait to assail you
But Just buckle in with a bit of a grin
Then take off your coat and go to it:
Just start in to sing as you tackle the

PROGRESS IN TALK MACHINES
Russian Inventor Departs from
Beaten Path I'm Reproducing
sound Waves.

Though much has been done toward the
Improvement of the phonograph without
attaining complete perfection. very few
of the many inventors have departed from
the beaten path Of preparing records by
making an impression on wax OF some
similar composition by means Of q point
or stylus. Now. however. work Is being
done toward reproducing sounds from
records made on a sensitized film such
as that used in moving pictures. In fact.
Il may be said that moving picture Is
taken of the sound waves. A minute mir
ror is attached TO the back of dia-
phram. such. for instance. as the dia-
phram used In q telephone receiver. and
when a person speaks through the mouth
piece the mirror is set to vibrating. From
an arc lamp a pencil OF light is sent to
the mirror. which reflects the line of
light to moving picture film. on this
moving film. Of course. the vibrations
caused by the voice are traced as the re-
Elected light moves with the motions Of
the mirror.
The main problem arises when we seek
to employ such. a record to reproduce
the sounds Here the ingenuity of

stepped in. He began his experiments In

rise to sound waves corresponding In
