A Shouting Phonosraph.

THERE is a combination of the
phonograph and the siren. whose
voice, speaking Ineligible words, can
be heard for miles. The methods for
recording sound have reached a
higher stage OF perfection than those
employed for its reproduction. The
chlef difficulty encountered in most
systems of reproducing conversation
and especially music, from phono-
graphic and similar records is caused
by the friction of the needle resting
upon the surface of the RAPIDLY re
volving disc. This introduces a more
or less noticeable buzzing or running
sound, which interferes with the
ciearness of musical notes or spoken
words. even in the most improved
inouels Numerous attempts have
Deen made TO overcome this unpleas-
ant accompaniment. In none of the
devices has complete success been
attained, since all involve the factor
OF friction as the Fundamental means
of transmission
In the case of the instrument first
mentioned friction is avoided by the
SUBSTITUTION OF a current of com
pressed air for the needle or STYLUS OF
the usual instruments. In a siren
openings OF various sizes allow the
production of all musical notes with
any desired degree of intensity or
iength. In this machine perforations

Skyscraper's Ancestor.
EOR many years the foreigner has
L regarded the skyscraper as some.

EOR many years the foreigner bas
L regarded the skyscraper as some
thing typically and essentially Ameri-
can. An archeologist has, however,
risen to shatter this illusion. He
points out that, as far as its origin
goes, anyway, the skyscraper Is not
American at all. The first one, 1t
appears, was planned over three CEN
turies ago in a town of the Duchy of
Savoy.
In the year 1901, so it is contended,
one Jacques Perret. an architect liv-
ing in Chambery, designed a building
that, although it was never erected,
may properly claim to be the ancestor
of the modern skyscraper. What
visionary dreamer must have been the
architect who 800 years ago planned
an History building. 361 feet in height,
almost half as lofty as the Woolworth
Building in New York.
According to Perret's measure
ments, the building was to have been
166 feet long and 140 feet wide, and
the walls were to have been over IL
feet in thickness. But in 1901 the
methods Of building construction were
by no means so modern as Perret's
plan. Twelve-foot walls were none
too thick to support IL stories.
Here again. however, the ingenuity
of the architect showed itself, for he
found a way of making use Of the
walls without weakening their
strength. I'm the thickness of the
walls,'' he wrote, ARE little stairways,
cabinets and cupboards, from the bot
tom floor to the top floor; thus there
is no space wasted"
Evidently the building was designed
for a dwelling, perhaps an apartment
house, for in describing his project
Perret wrote, This great and excel
lent edifice can accommodate COM
fortably 500 persons.
Considering the fate of the design,
the project Of Jacques Perret was in
many ways a remarkably prophetic
vision. In 6rnateness of detail and in
fanciful exaggeration the plans Of the
building suggested the sixteenth cen
tury, but in its general lines, as plan
ned, it represented much later pc
riod in architecture.

For several weeks the rebellious

out the French garrison at any
moment. During the past week
advancing French troops have been
registering successes against the
Druses, finally penetrating their
lines and administering a severe
defeat to them and entering Sueida
to relieve the besieged garrison.
The French foreign office an
nounced today that it had received
dispatches from Damascus stating
that General Gamelin with 500
soldiers entered Sueida last night,
carrying in supplies to the besieged
garrison. The report added that
the Druses have been driven back,
and their. siege Of Sueida is def
