An Extraordinary Invention.

The News of Amesbury, Mass., says that during the week some interesting experi- ‘ments have been made in town with the ‘new Pulsion telephone, and to those who ‘have tested its workings it is a constant

source of wonder. The test line was between the foftices of G. H. Briggs on the square and the Daily News on Main street. | Some remarkable things have been done |with it, the most so being the talking ‘through a hat ard broomstick laid on the lwire. It is in point of sensitiveness far ahead of the Bell instrument, and it uses no electricity. A person whistling at one end of the line can be heard so distinctly that it is with difficulty that one can be persuad- ‘ed that it is not in the same room. Again, a person can stand in one corner of a room with the backfturned to the transmitter and in a moderate voice be distinctly heard and understood by the party at the other end of the line. The whole secret lies in the transmitter and the construction is not div- ulged. When the application was made for the patent, the Commissioner of Patents sent word that no patents were granved on 1m- ssibilities, and they would as secon think of granting a patent on perpetual motion as

-!to grant their claim. However, the in-

ventor, Mr. Millet, went on to Washington and by a trial thoroughly convinced the authorities and had his claim allowed. It ‘is of such importance that a syndicate of ‘capitalists have made a large offer to ob- | cain control of it. It is destined to open 4 | new era in telephonic communication.

It has as yet not only been used on short lines, but as it magnifies sound rather — decreases, there is no doubt but that dis-

can be overcome. The inventor of this extraordinary in- strument is a native of this Province—

The People Say

That returns are coming in from some of the private picnics held on Dominion Day. That in future, all who receive invita- tions to a picnic should leave the city at the same hour in order to avoid getting astray before reaching the grounds. :

That the girl who lost her hat on the Covehead Road while driving back to the | city with her young man on the evening of | Dominion Day, would feel obliged if the | person who picked it up would return it at once.

That the new hat now inthe hands of the milliner will be of a similar style of architecture to the lost one.

That Charles Watts’ sneering allusions to the ** Professor of Philosophy,” last even- ing, were in very bad taste.
