[4 irer lne w .Yew Yor". lvhl.1]
Wasm ix(-rox, April 23.-Edison,
the inventor, was hero the other
d.y to show his phonograpl and
his carbon telephone to the Acade.
mny of Sciences. He ist a young man,
only thirty-one years of age, and
Comes, of course, from Ohio.
Everybody is from Ohio nowadays.
He appears to have been born an ill
vcltor, having mnade his first inven
tion when he wa s but twelve years
of age. In 1803 he was train boy
oni a Michigan railroad. In the
fall of that year he began to work
as a telegraph operator, and two
months later lhe brought to the
manager of the oflico in which he
was employed a plan for a dnlex
telegraph arrangement which ho
had studied out for himself. His
first record,:d invention, for which,
however, he did not take out a
patent, was published by him in the
Ideef/.aphl. Journal in 1868, and
was alls) for a duplex. His first
applicntion for a patent hero was
in connection with the gold and
riock teleg :rphs, and lie has about
fifty patents onl record counected
with that system, and his was ill an
important respect the first success
fiul invention.
He is now a noted man at. the
Patent Of>ice, where his inventions
recorded number about 150. He
has invented many forms of duplex
and quaduplex telegraphs; worked
for a while at the automatic system
of Baque, which sends messages by
pol forated patper ; and has worked
also at the mutiplex system which
sends not simultaneously as the
duplex, but in the m1inite intervals
between other messages. He is the
inventor of the electric pel, with
which several copies of a letter or
docunmenht are written simultaneans
ly. This was broutglt forth in
response to the deiatnd of a friend
of his, a merchant, wiho said:
"I wish you'd maku something
which would save copying, and by
which I could write two copies at a
timel(."
The telephone, rrophone and
plhonographi have absorbed him for
some time. -11 has m:tde important
inmprovements in the first nlamecl
insti ohhcent. TIho plhonograpl for
praactical use he is now comnplet.inig,
and in three or four muonths the
practical nachine, which is to Con
sist of a flat disk insteal of the
cylinder now used, will be iput on
the mau ket. lie anticipates that it
will be ini dlenmnd among merchants
wvho have a large cor respondence ; a
man may read his mail, and ars he
reaids specak his replhes to each
letter at once in to the phIonograp)h,
which will work at aL set speeOd by
ab (cl1ck arral.ng(mnt. When) all is
clone the instrumuen t will be turned
over to a cle: k, who, setting tho
clockwork to go more1 slowly, will
cop~y from it,s dictationf. It is also
suggested that skilled readers w~ill
be cnmployedl to reaid novuls atnd
other works into a p)honogrrphl, and
the impi~ressions, being dufplicatod
che.aply andic made perrmanent, may
then be sol for the use of the blind
fr 1)o1 sons who wish to spare their
eyes, and for whom tihe p)honogrphl
wdll read aloud at the fireside. It
is saui.l that a clock compantfy in
Connectieut has already bought of
Mr. Edlison the right to use a form
of phloniograph wich is to be
cheaply app1lied to clocks, which
wvill then call out the hours aind
half hours instead of striking.
T1horo0 can 1)0 no doubt that the
pono raphl wvill be a boon to the
The torophone is an instrument
intended to increase very greatly
the volume of the human voice. it
is more ingenious than the phono
graph. In asteam whistle or an
organ pip)e is placed a delicate valvo
controlling the supply of the steam
or air. This valve is connected
with a dliap)hragmn similar to that
used in the phonograph and tele
phone, and the vibrations of the
diaphragm cause movemneots in the
valve, which opens and closes ini
exact accordance with the vibra
tions of the huma~n vqid~ eCo i
eated to the div.phi #' t h44Ie
steam or all+i'
and thus reproduces the words
spoken. In fact it gives the speak-.
or additional wind, and it would be
very useful to members of the
House of Ropresentatives, whose
hall is one of the most trying in the
world to the voice and throat. It
is curious that the tin foil produced
in a phonograph may be applied
and used in an hrophone, and will
causo the steam whistle to givo out
the words which the phonograph
has recorded. The possible abuses
of this machine aro so evident that
Edison has already had offers from
eager advertisers who want to use
it to shout out the merits of their
wares to a whole county at a time,
and if the inventor should let it
fall into reckless hands we may see
special sessions of State Legisla
tures called this summer to put
down what might easily become an
int olerblo nuisance. Its legitimate
uses are for fog signals and steam
ships, and possibly railroad trains.
It is said that the phonograph
was suggested to Edison by a re
mark of General Butler, who ex
amining a telephone, said to the
inventor :
"Now you must make something
to record those sounds."
At the Smithsonian Institute the
other day Edison saw a pho
nautograph, a machine used for
delineating graphically the form of
the sound waves, and examining it
curiously a moment he remarked to
a friend:
"Wise men, those were, not to see
that they could put a hard point
and a piece of tinfoil in front of it
and there was the phonograph."
He was asked by a Southern Sena.
tor here whether ho could not in
vent a machine to pick cotton, and
replied that ho "thought so." Later,
on the same day, a person watching
the operation of the phonograph
said :
"Edison, I wonder if you couldn't
talk a hole through a board."
"Of course I could," was the reply;
and he took a slip of paper and ra
pidly stretched the point of the pho.
nograph in connection with a small
ratchot wheel, which in its turn by
propei- cogs connected with agimlet.
Thus every vibration of the mem
brane of the phonograph, instead of
propolling the point against the tin
foil would push the ratchet wheel
forward and turn the gimlet, and a
man would actually be able to talk
a hole through a pine board.
His latest direovery of the pecu
liarly delicate inpressibility of com
pressed carbon to heat has given
him the belief that he can detect
R andl measuro accurately the heat
which reaches us from the stars ;
and a telescope is already under way
for his use for this purpose He
remarked here to a friend that as
the action of the phonograph dea
1)ends entirely on the vibrations of
the air he thought he should be
able to reproduce any phenomenon
I which is duo to vibration, and that
if the received theory that heat is
only a mode of motion and the un"
dlulatory theory of light are correct,
he would be able to catch and trans-.
mit both. His mnind seems to be
constantly engaged on plans for the
new and ingenious application of
natural forces and laws, and he gave
the impression here to all who
