LONDON, August 1O.-A telephone that
promises to fulfill some of the utopian
prophesies of imaginative novelists-a
telephone that talks to You clearly and
distinctly as YOU sit motionless in your
charts at present working in a building
not a stones throw from Piccadilly Cir
Gus.
The present need for speaking-or shout
ing-down a mouthpiece will be obviated
by the new loud-talkng telephone. You
will be able to walk about the room and
talk In ordinary conversational tones or
even a whisper. A little instrument like
a bell-push collects and carries Your
words. and the person to whom Won are
talking-without taking up receiver
without lifting finger-hears you as dis
unctiy as though you we're only q yard
away.
Device Fixed in Wall.
Your voice comes from another little
piece OF apparatLs-a box with a per-
forated opening-and when that appa-
ratus is fixed in the wall. SO that only
the opening is visible. one is ready TO be-
lieve that the babble machine. born i'm

with the little push-button-like apparatus
before him on a table, and in another
room. some distance away Mr.. Dickson
or MS assistant spoke. shouted and whis.
pered as they moved about.
Voice Greatly Magnifed.
A whisper Uttered five or six yards
away from the transmitter came as clear
ly as an ordinary speaking voice In the
same room. So greatly is the sound Of
the voice magnified that the ordinary
tones. spoken closely into the receiver, az
with the ordinary telephone, seemed like
a deafening shout to the listener in the
other room.
The new telephone as yet has been tried
only over comparatively short distances.
with the idea OF providing a perfect
means OF intercommunication from room
to room In offices or factories. But Mr..
Dickson claims that there is no reason
why the loud-talking telephone should NOT
be used over any distance.

Jumps FROM TRAIN
TO SAVE HER CHILD
YOUNG Mother Leaps From Ex-
press Going Sixty Miles an
Hour and Is Killed.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, August 1O-A young mother
who leaped from sixty-mile-an-hour ex-
press in a despairing effort to save her
baby was killed near Crewe. a platelayer
who was working on the line between
Sandbach and Crewe, and had stepped
back as the Birmingham express ap-
preached, was Mortified to see one OF the
doors fly open and a child fall out. I'M
mediately afterward a woman leaped from
the carriage.
On hurrying to the spot, the platelayer
saw the body of the baby-a boy of about
eighteen months-headless, and with one
of his arms cut off at the shoulder. About
fifty yards away lay the woman. suffering
from fatal injuries.
The dead child and the dying mother
were taken in a special train to the
Northwestern Railway Hospital at Crewe.
Before reaching there the woman was
dead.
Did Not Miss Woman.
The mother, who was about thirty years
old, was travelling with her two children,
the other being a girl between three and
four years There was another woman in
the compartment, but, singularly enough,
she did not realize what had happened
until the little girl shouted, Where s
mammal On looking around she saw
that mother and baby had disappeared.
The whole thing must have happened in
an instant. The theory is that the car
riage door flew open and the baby fell
out, rolling underneath the train. The
mother, In her anguish, jumped out of the
train. not stopping TO think OF the hope
leSSneSS of her impulse.
1t is not yet known who the family are.
The little girl was able to tell people that
she lived In West HartlepOOl, but from
her version of her surname 1t might be
either James or Davies"
The only things found in the woman
clothing were a railway ticket from VOL
northampton to West HartlepooJ and a
slip of paper with instructions where to
change trains.
