.THE LATEST WONDER; IN TIlE ART
OF TELEGRAPIIY.
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

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.

and ending at the tip of the Profes,

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.
