NEW YORK, May 23.-Thomas a.

completion and perfection of his latest
invention, the telescribc. n combina-
tion of telephone and monograph, by
which telephone conversations may he

5000 miles apart.
1t was learned some time ago that
Edison, though Handicapped by deaf-
ness. had succeeded in combining tele-
phone and phonograph. and few pri-
Nate demonstrations of the instrument
were given. After many more months
OF work on the new apparatus E,di-
son announces its completion, giving
him the credit for more than 1900 in
