Base Ball Is a monopoly, according to
Pepper. He attacked, article by article.

Phone Device Makes
Even Whispers Clear
Shecfal 70 The Trlerraeh

London. June 7.-According to tele-
phone experts here. a vast stride in the
mechanical perfection of the telephone
has been made through an invention by
Pierre de LANCE, a Dutch engineer, who
is visiting london.
De LANCE asserted that his appliance
goes a long way toward making wire
less telephony practical. Various tech
meal bodies in England have examined
his invention and think highly of il.
The invention is a simple contrivance
in the receiver that regulates the sound
waves. eliminating the rafting noises
over the. telephone and making long
distance talking easier. The phone
will be an aid, says De LANCE, in every
household or office. by doing away with
the disquieting noises hat now are so
disturbing. Scotland Yard has accept
ed De Lange's invention as practical
and is installing II. De LANCE showed
Scotland Yard how II is possible TO
hear a whisper over the phone through
his invention. This appealed to Scot
land Yard and a comprehensive system
is TO be adopted.
The whole idea OF De Lange's inven-
ton is concentrated in utilizing the air
waves inside the receiver and doing
away with resistance offered by an
electro-magneto insead of a dia-
phragm, as now used in receivers. De
Lange has a thin platinum wire in the
air chambers, which is quickly re-
sponsive. and he says this prevents the
strong vibration that now is respon-
sible for the Earring" waves. De LANCE
calls his invention a t~hermophone.
