New Uses OF the Dictograph.


The detective photograph has beeu
used for many odd purposes besides
catching criminals.
When Torrey and Alexander, tho
reVivalists, were holding their meet
ings in Philadelphia In 1909, there
was a demand for seats far beyond
the 5000 capacity of the armory in
which they preached. BY request.
MIR. Turner Installed a dictograph
transmitter, suspended 1t from ths
ceiling about three feet above the
speakers head and six feet In front
of him. The wires from this trans
mitter were connected by specially
constructed apparatus, with Assoc
telephones whose subscribers heard
the service in their homes. At the
same time wires were run to Bethany
church, where large horn In the
pulpit gave out the sound to 2,5ea
more auditors, so that. altogether,
$1,000 people heard the music and
preaching at once.

to study the minor activity OF Mount
