A reader sent me these QueS-
tions:
How does the telephone
work? What carries the human
voice through the wires?"
The telephone picks UP sound
waves, and carries them through
a wire with the help Of an elec-
trio current. The sound waves
are turned into electric waves
when they go through the in
strument which is known as the
transmitter.
After travelling through the
wire, the electric waves are
turned back into ordinary sound
waves. Then the sounds go into
the ear of the person who listens.
That is the story. In short. If
we study the transmitter, we
find that it contains a thin piece
of metal known as the dia-

he was worth more money.
His editor, however. was not

One day. young Cobb was
sent out to cover a food.
When the editor read his
yarn, he hit the ceiling.
You call this a descrip-

"You haven't got the feel of
it. When you cover "a story
like this, you've got to get

the sensation. A good report

After electricity takes the
sounds through the wire, they
move the metal disk, or dia-

the other person. The electric
waves become common sound

the same way as if spoken from
a distance of a few feet.
