Strakosch Jxperiments in Btseinway Hall--Philadelphija Musto Heepd Miles away--How it is Done. Strakosch, the Impressario, gave a private exhibition of the wonders of the. telephone to a select party of friends in Steinway Hall, New York on Saturday night. At half past eight o'clock, communicati on was established with Philadelphia by means of a common MQrse instru ment. Then the receiver was brought forth and placed upon a cloned grand Steinway piano. This "receiver" is simply an arrangement of long, narrow, hollow, closed boxes, sixteen in number, tapering from each end to the centre, the end box being ahout two feet long by three inches deep and three inches wide, the others tapering down to six inches long in the cente--looking like two cones of boxes with the apexes meeting. A common magnet joins the two smallest, or central boxes. The boxes are .fastened together by two strips of wood, with thumb screws to tighten them at the pleasure of the person regulating the apparatus somewhat as a violin ist will tune his instrument. The "receiver" having been placed up right, the narrow end on the closed piano, the wires were attached to the magnet and word was transmitted to the player in Philadelphia to proceed with the concert. In the meantime, thQ enthusiastic Strakosch was explaining in an undertone to one of his friends the wonderful grandeur of the new system "Why my dear sir," said ho, "it will be an incalculable blessing to the world. It will be thet means of converting society. It will eventually lessen the long and terrible list of crimes now upon our criminal caleudors. Men will learn to love music, and their baser passions will disappear. Who over know a man dovotov4 to music to commit murder ? We shall soon be able to give every family musie just as water and gas are now received. We shall plant a monster telephone at some point, say at St. Louis, which is to cost about a million of dollars and to supply the whole of the United States with delightful melody. Then you can have a wire attached to a hittle "receiver" in your house, and, voila I you have music of the most bewitching kind. I tell you this is but in its infancy-yes, sir, in its very infancy," In a tow seconds the prelude to ROME SWEET HOME s.ounded, low and soft at first, then louder and sweeter in tone, the notes gradually swelling into the quality of those of a fiageolet. Every sound was clearly heard, and when the last prolonged note had ceased,there was a claipi g of hands~ almost as heartily as though some' prima donna had been there and had sung the grand old song. After an interval of about a mijnute the opening notes of the "Last flose of Summner" were sounded. 'This air was played somewhat quicker, and the panses were not perfect in thme. first ton hare, but su~denly the higher notes of the score pealed forth, strong, clear, pathetic, reveals ing at once the tenderness and delicacy of the new in~strumentL and its power in transmitting melody in the most delightful form. Next an' air from Bialfe's "Bohemian Girl" was ordered by the operator, and; before the circuit could fairly be completed, the opening strains of "When other lips Mid other hearts" wore filling the hall, This was reindeied with faultless precision, the highest atld the lowest notes' being executed with special accuracy. To use a simile, the impression was as though a stringed orchestra was~ playing at a distance, the Staves of bound following each other in tgulhi-, agreeable succession.. It must not be understood that there *was all the tolunie, the tariety, the gretndeur of :af orehestra, but rathef the echo of a bdlnd stripped of all the clashing ana extreme tor e. There is a softness, a lasioinatin~g 2pedium in, thea notea I of the t41l4 pjpoa whihboare gg plidae.as Abey *ro; Inexpllidble, "tankted Daodfle" and4e variety of Sfotell ' 41 Jah pitra *oro nqt6tply i giu,. 'dation of thosepinjI roVktaus beaid' 'that 1inay ha expoase* grave fears that the par.d A most Important aeries of ex periments followed. Taking a magnet with two wires attached the Professor placed it upon a pmall circular wooden "bar,' then put both upon the sounding board of another piano that had been placed tipon the stage. In a few seconds the strains of "Old Hundred" were heard heard all over the hall, like the lower notep of a small organ, gracefully re-echoing, as it were, the sounds from Philadelphia. Anpther order and the full chords of the "Doxology" were plainly distia guishablo, the chords being as per, foot as though the performer had been on the stage with the appara - tus, first two, then three, four and five, demnotstrating the wonderful scope to which the instrument can be adapted and the possibility of playing some very intricate music. This delighted the audience better than anything that had been done previously, Hymns were thee} played, "God Save the Queen," the "Conquering Hero," "We Won't go Home Till Morning," USuwanee River," and numerous other pleasing airs afterwards delighted the audi dence. Finally Mr. Gray tested the audience as a circuit. A common transmitter was connected to the battery and hold by the Professor, who placed his forefinger against a disk faced with zinc, shaped like the human ear. The gentlemen then ascended the stage and formed a circle, one holding the wire, the others all joining hands, and the last one of the circle on the opposite side, olas >ing the wrist of the Pro' fessor. The disk was started, and the air of "Nicodemus" was produced through this human current, start. ing from thei qo holding the wire and ending at the tip of the Profes, sor's fingers, from which the air was omitted, clear and distinct, Altogether it may be said that this new instrument, when worked with a full battery, will repest melodies in the sweetest and softest manner, The rehearsal was a most decided success. THE THEORY OF THE TELF.PHONE stripped as nearly as possible of technical terms, is as follows : Sound is the final effect :produced on the ear by a vibration or impulse transmitted through any elastic medium, aerial, liquid or solid. When a sudden blow is delivered to the air, the impulse is propaga ted through the air end ultimately reaches the ear as a noise. . The energy of the shook of propagation determines the loudness of the noise resulting. This can be illustrafed by dropping a pebble into the centi-e of a large pond of still water, Where the pebble strikes the surface a shock is administered. Immediately a circular wave is developed which extends more or less rapidly from the point of its generation and cons tinues to propagate itself, until it meets with some obstruction. In like manner a wave is propagated in a volume of air, and is transmittedl from particle to particle of the atmosphere until 'it meets with some obstruction, as in jhe case of the water wave. It must be remerQgn. berod that a noais the result of a single impulse or of a gotieh of irregular impulses upon ther i Bound, or a musical note ,an, h genekated only by a regular pieecg., sion of impulses forning W ee o ?apidly recurring waveslti -the~ air, The rapidity of these vibrations decides the pitch of the apt, wlln9,, there are lens than forty yibratfone a second, the musical" to'io ceasbe and only a fluttering sound is heard' If the number ex~eeed 40,000 a second, the noise becomnes p srig, The actual range in musie rarely passes above 6,000 vibrations per second, but sometimes in organ pipes falls below fortby. The humian oar contains a im membrane stretched and theo vibrations it receives from contact with vibrating air causes the sensation of hearing. Somuch for sound. Now for the ape plication of electricity to transmit it. It Is well known that, if a coil of wire be wrapped around a bar of soft Iron, and a cnrrent of electricity. is passed through it, the iron yll) be magnetized as long as the curren~ lasts, but ais soon as the edred ceaseu the bal 'is deonarItised.'
