XYIHERE there are no ears to hear there
w is no sound" This simple statement
has probably caused more scientific debate
than any other, except the probable result
of an irresistible force striking an immoVaDlc
body. ,
A deaf mute lives in soundlcss world be-

beat upon the ear. The vibrations OF can
non discharge are slow; yet they crash
against the ear with considerable force, pro-
ducing a great volume Of noise.
EVERY day dozens Of people in New York
II talk with business associates orfrendS IN
faraway Chicago. Few know that it IS not
actually Our friends voice we hear when we
use the telephone. It is merely an accurate
reproduction Of that voice faithfully copied,
remembered, and repeated by that marvel,
electricity.
If the telephone was only medium to
transmit sound waves, 1t would be Tar IN
deed from the convenience It IS now. Sound
travels slowly when compared with cleo
tricitv or light, as the speed Of sound waves
through the air is only one thousand and
ninety feet a second. It Is nine hundred and
seventy miles from New York TO Chicago;
therefore it would take a sound wave tour
thousand seven hundred seconds 10 travel
the distances pposlng, OF course, 1t was
Dos-iblc for sound 20 travel that far and be
audible. This equals scventy-eight min
r,cs. or an hour and eighteen minutes.
Therefore. if YOU said Hello in this end
Of a sound wave line. YOU would have 70 wait

answer from Chicago At this rate Of speed,
if q man had much TO say he might better
take a fast train and 90 20 Chicago-not TO
mention what the tolls would be for ordinary
conversation at the usual rates.
Without electricity it would be impossible
10 talk from New York City to Chicago or
Denver. as We can very easily do today.
Sound waves would not carry outside the
great metropolis. What really happens IS as
follows: The voice causes q thin metal
diaphragm in the telephone 70 vibratc in
sympathy with the voice. This vibrating
dis oscillatcs in front OF a small magnet
which sends little currents Of electricity
along the wires. which are in turn repeated
to q similar magnet on the other end Of the
line. This second magnet, influenced by the
electricity from the first diaphragm. causes
the diaphragm in its receiver 20 Vbratc Just
as the first one did, and Of course IN vibrating

New York in exactly the saxe tone.
Electricity travel, at q speed Of hundred
and cigh,v-six thousand miles q second. This

urcd only with most delicate instruments.
The time II takes electricity, carrying the
human voice, 20 60 from New York 10 Chi
cago is so inhnitc-maiiy mall that iC can
hardly be recorded in comprehensive figures.
Therefore. the modern telephone Is nearly
instantaneous.
THE human voice is produced mechanic
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-09-07

THE human voice is produced mechanic
ally. Edison proved this when he made
machine out Of wood, wax. and iron that
would talk. Words are nothing but vibra-
ton, in the air produced by similar vibra-
tons Of cords in the larynX; therefore, a
common metal disk can be made TO make
these same vibrations and actually repeat
the human voice.
The speaking tube is the only telephone
that actually transmits sound waves in the
air. Sound will also travel through metal,
water, gases. and mostly any other solid or
gaseous substances, and is greatly mutfied
10y soft tibcrs. such as wool cotton, sawdust
dirt. etc.
In many respects sound waves are like
light waves. They may be reflected. re-
fractcd. or bent out Of their natural course,
or ditfractcd, sent through an open window.
or a hole in a building; but they travel very
slowly, because their way through the air
is so difficult, and they soon lose their force
and die out.
