Yes she replied fraud always has be nursed keep
it alive If the theory sensible that is true, the
author would have the Sound But the theory being
if he habtualy used that word would kill the
theory, because constantly calling absurdties
and of foundation And besides asking
anyone however devoted he may be the principles
of principles in Science word plain Sound
is something that all have ideas about and would have
great many mised but
entirely mythical and therefore good refuge for those
sdering hypothesis
The membrane of the has nothing do with the
making of sounds Its function assist in their delivery
1t is part of the machinery which conveys
auditory nerves.
The whole subject the graphophone record Ellen will
discuss later We recognize that the sound has made the
parafne and cylinder Of the graphophone series in
denturs called record and appropriate instrument passes
this record will repeat the sounds which made And
that means Sound is made by Sound; similarly
make other trees, flowers other flowers from their
seeds. And the infinite number OF things
including animals
The making OF the photograph record is thus described:
Speaking the mouth distinct and deliberate
and the time turning the cylinder by cockwor by
vibrations communicated the Disc record themselves the
foil the shape of ndenures When the been
spoken the disc and stylus aside cylinder
its starting and the disc and stylus placed the position
they occupied rotating cylinder stylus
and falls the embossed foil passes
given the stylus the disc the
around. The air thus thrown a vibration
o which the words originally gave
This explanation of the action of sound phonograph
is entirely The phonogaph has been superseded
by graphophone action of sound in each is pac-

which fastened sharp tool called the stylus that groove
in the parane and of the revolving cylinder into which
groove the particles of forming small deprcssions
named ndHtrr that when struck by called
the reproduce throw off sounds similar those conducted
into the graphophonc"
But why these similar to the sounds conducted into the
graphophonc, indeed why any sounds produced"
1.-The indenurcs made" she replied "by the sounds
spoken sung into the megaphone which sounds pass
through rubber tube the graphophone which
the recorder which makes groove the parafne and
into which the sounds conducted and become musical
instruments.
But why do they become musical Instruments? asked.
Because the sounds which made them musical iusru-
rhents and made them similar to themselves.
These ndentues the purposes of seeds That is
they will continue indefinitely produce the sounds which
made them"
But what" asked is the use of the dafram?"
"The diafram" replied is composed of glass which
the face recorder collecting and
guiding the sounds uttered the megaphone the paane
and cylinder"
"And does make them?"
1T certainly does Ellen made of them in sing
ing into the mcgphone others have made great many
AS Ellen has told the old Pine repeatedly all sounds
by shock Ganot says by shock friction but friction shock
"In this the shock is produced by the reproducer
striking the ndenures These indenures, thus formed give
sound until they struck by the proper instrument
BY the collision of these bodies, following the universal
law sounds produced quantities sufficient fill the
surrounding air. and these sounds thus produced precisely
similar those sung uttered into the megaphone And
