Curiosity reigned supreme in {
home in this county, recently, wheI
one of the women subscribers on q tel
ephone line wanted to get all that wal
going on and yet at the same time keel
about her work. She therefore tool
the receiver down from the arm of TIN
telephone instrument and putting biz
dish pan on the floor put it in it ant
was then able to hear readily the tall
going on over the line in any part o
the room. The pan acted as SOUNDING
board and magnified the sounds. Thi
worked well for a time but the bat
teries had to be replenished, and find
ing that this cost too much she listen
no more.
