A HOWLING TERROR

A phonoigraj hy tjlt shaAfe soiloudlythat every word can at ndistance of ton miles Has boon testedin Brighton
You can a sentence Into thodiachlnes small funiielBlmlxjd mouth-piece and it will repent It in tonesthat aro more deafening than theshrieks of n liners steam siren Yetvery word Is perfectly articulatedand n shorthand writer ten mllos awaycan take down tho message ns easilyas if you wore dictating to him In nsmall room
The machine Is the Invention of MrHorace L Short of Brighton In ppoarance It Is merely an ordinary pho-
nograph with a large trumpet meas-uring four foot In length Inside thistrumpet there Is a small and delicatepiece of mechanism that looks
like a whistle This Is the tongueof the machine
Instead of the records being takenon wax In the usual nmunera sapphireneedle is made to cut the dots rep-resenting the sound vibrations on nsliver cylinder and when the needltravels over the metal a second timetho vibrations cause the whistle toproduce n series of nil waves and themachine thus becomes a talking sirenwhich transforms the human voice Into n deafening roar
The experiments were made nearthe Devils Dyke Brighton where theInventor has his workshops Time Instrument was placed on the roof ofthe laboratory anti was made to repeatn number of sentences At a distanceof ton miles the founds were plainlyhoard by a largo number of peopleevery word being perfectly dis-tinct and at a second trial with
favorable wind It was foundthat an unknown message couldbe taken down In shorthand at a dis-tance of twelve mills Over tho wa-ter the sounds will carry still furtherthey might be heard by persons on nvessel fifteen miles nt sea Placedon a lighthouse or lightship tho phono-graph would give a verbal warningthat would bo Infinitely moro effectivethan the foghorns and detonators atpresent In use
The possibilities of the machine arcpractically endless It will render loudselections In the open air that can bolistened to by thousands of people orIt will shout news messages that couldbo heard high above the roar of thetraffic and the thousand noises of abig city London Mall
The Wolf of OubbloHow St Francis tnmod time wolf of
Gubbio Is the most famous If not al-
together the most credible of the anlmill stories related of him The wolfwas a quadruped without morals notonly had he eaten kids but also mollAll attempts to kill him failed antithe townsfolk were afraid of venturingoutside the walls even In broad day-light One day St Francis againstthe advice of nil wont out to Lure aserious talk with tho wolf Ho soonfound him and Brother Wolf hosaid you have eaten not only ani-mals but men made In the Imago ofGod mind certainly you deserve thegallows nevertheless I wish to makepeace between you mind these peopleBrother Wolf so that you may offendthem no more and neither they northeir dogs shall attack you Timewolf seemed to ngree but the saintwished to have a distinct proof of hissolemn engagement to fulfill his partIn the peace whereupon tho wolf stocdup on his hind legs and laid his pawon the saints trend Francis thenpromised that the wolf should beproperly fed for the rest of his days
for well I know ho said kindlythat all your evil deeds were caused
by hunger upon which text severalsermons might bo preached for trulymany n sinner may be reformed bya good dinner and by nothing elserime contract was kept on both stiesand time wolf lived happily for twoyears at time end of which ho tIled ofold age sincerely mourned by all thoInhabitants Contemporary Review
