cause Of this that speech comes so
clearly to tho listener over a wire rep
resenting the Impotence of 1900 miles
of submarine cable.
Each tone Of the voice produces n
number Of distinctive waves and II Is
possible to reproduce speech at the
far end SO that it can be understood
only when the waves reach their desti-
nation shaped as they were sent. The
human voice is considerably more COM
pick in the tones 1t produces than
most people recognize and there can
be no Ineligible reproduction of speech
il the electrical or magnetic impedi-
ments peculiar to an insulated cable
succeed in reforming the waves in
transit.
Even when speaking at q fairly
even pitch vocal sounds have overtones
of a much higher pitch which accom-
pany them, and in order TO make the
transmitted speech distinct It Is neces-
sary to carry through the line the
waves that make these peculiar over
tones. In music their counterparts
are the little harmonlcs. These facts
are mentioned in order that you may
realize something OF the telephone en-
gineer's task tho moment he takes his
wire from overhead and puts II under
ground clothed by an insulator.
IL Is true that we can talk by wire
with Chicago, approximately thousand
miles away. and this is done by means
of an especially constructed line made
up OF very large and costly copper
cable, in addition to tho necessary en-
ployment of Pupin coils and an auto
matte repeating apparatus at at least
one II not more points along the route
Commercially, It is doubtful IL thi:
costly achievement in telephone engl-
neerins pays for itself, but the company
probably Ia willing to give the long
distance user the benefit Of sacrifice
for the sake of the profitable service
that is tributary along the system.
In the underground line between Bos.
ton and New York there are actually
| laid two complete circuits. that is -four
very heavy copper cables; and, strange
not travel over the material wires OF
this costly duplex plant: the company
uses what Is called phantom" cir

| tute the necessary foundation for the
equipment.

II seems that the telephone service
between Rome and Paris went into sue
cessful operation only after the gov
ernments of Italy and France had
agreed TO adopt one and the same type
of wire throughout. Long lines. like
the one between New York and Chi
cago. are essentially made up of open
wires. 1t is said that no cables form
part of the system, but Pupin coils
are placed along the route at carefully
calculated points.
It Is perfectly plain. then. that the
secret Of DIR. Mussos success lies in
his employment OF speaking waves
which he can produce at the sending
point. Proof of this is established by
the fact that he could not send the need
full impulses through his artificial cable
which represents the electrical impe-
dence Of a line 5000 miles long II il
were not for some peculiar quality i'm
parted at the transmitting end. But
how does this ingenious Italian expect
to telephone to Europe?
As has been said, the submarine cable
is not equipped with Pupin coils, and
the problem now is merely that OF de-
spatching two waves that stand for the
dot and the dash of the Morse code.
Even so, u Is possible to send on an
average only about twenty-five words a
minute in this fashion, and the manner
in which these signals are transcribed
by delicate recorder make 1t difficult
for even expert operators to translate
them at times. II is claimed for the
Musso system that three times as many
words minute can be sent over an
ordinary cable as il now possible by
the usual submarine telegraph lines.
But the foregoing Is outdone by
another promise. by the Musso sys-
TEN 1t will be possible to telephone and
to telegraph simultaneously on the same
circuit and practically to any distance.
Thus. from only one telephone circuit
we will get three circuits. that is. a
telephone circuit and two telegraph
circuits, and each of them working
simultaneously and Independently of the
other without interference" In other
words, by submarine telephone cir
cult, kindred in electrical qualities to
that which DIR. Musso has in his labora-
tory, 1t would be possible not only ia
carry on vocal communication with peo-
pie in England or on the continent of
Europe, but at the same time Geographic
dots and dashes could be travelling to
and fro over the two cables OF the cir
cult without interfering with the con-
versation.
II seems that DR.. Musso's system OF
long distance telephony does not re-

quire any material modification In ex-
listing installations. The same trans
hitting and receiving instruments are
used, and the wires or cables call for
no special facilities in the way of in
ductance coils. But in the central sta
tion there is installed a single special
apparatus which is both simple and
inexpensive.
For long distance overhead and SUBJ
marine telegraphy nothing in the pres
ent equipment need be changed. Again,
only one apparatus in addition is re-
quired. and this in no way complexities or
embarrasses the operator. so DIR. Musso
declares. What, then, is the secret of
his success? Why. he sends his initial
waves on their journey SO shaped that
they can submit to the deforming OF
the ordinary line and yet reach their
destinations strong enough and so we'll
modelled that they will perform their
duties satisfactorily. Or. to put it other
wise, the waves set up by the vibra-
ton Of the voice or by the telegrapher s
key are started out caricatured, and
when they reach their journeys end
they are either portraits or exceedingly
good likenesses OF the originals they are
intended to represent. Just how DR.
Musso does this he is not ready to tell
the public, because some OF his patents
involving improvements have not yet
been issued.
Why does DR.. Musso believe cable
transmission better than wireless tele-
phony, even II Signor Marconi succeeds

Mr.. Granville is q years old lie was
born In Chicago on July 4. 1885. Thus
he shares with George ~ Cohan the
choice of the day of independence as
his day of nativity. His parents were
English.
After receiving his early schooling In
Chicago he was sent to the Lindsey
Vocal Institute in Wheeling. W. Va.
where he learned singing. leaving that
place to enter the Western University

Al Flelds's Ministries, and afterward
toured with Donnelly and Hatfield Min

with Ringing Bros circus. and during
his term In the sawdust ring he learned
dancing which he performs every night
on the stage of the Winter Garden.
Afterward he got his chance In vaudc-
vile. and from there stepped into must

We need not elaborate upon the rea-
sons why an insulated cable differs
measurably in some of these particu-
lars from an ordinary bare, overhead
wire. The net effect, however. is that
the conductor thus saps the electrical
impulses speeding toward the far end
OF the cable. and as result the sig
mails produced at the receiving end may
be too weak 10 serve their purpose or,
on the other hand. be so lacking in

some time before the furthest marbles

is what happens in the case of a sub

An Early December Wedding Which
Is of Much Interest.

The following invitations, receiv-

the many friends of both the bride
and groom in all parts of the state:
Mr.. and Mrs w. III. Williams
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage OF his sister
Florence Chaplin
to
DIR. Samuel Lanham Allen
on the evening of Wednesday, the
ninth of December,
at helf-past eight o'clock
Saint Luke's church,
Charleston, South Carolina.
Reception from nine until eleven
212 Calhoun street.
Miss Williams is a very attractive
young woman, whom DR.. Allen met
while in Charleston as a student at
the Medical College of South Caro-
lima. DR.. Allen has been a resident
OF our town for only a few months
but during that time he has won
many friends. BY agreeable man
ner and a close application to his
profession he has made a very favor
able impression upon our people.
Before coming to Lancaster DR..
Allen practiced In Heath Springs
Tor time and has therefore, many
friends In that section, as well as in
Lancaster, all OF whom will extend
cordial welcome to his bride.
