fitted § THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, THE TELEPHONE. Trial of Mr. Gray’s Wonderful Invention. Playing Tunes ata Distance of a Mile. Substitution of o Pig’s Tail for a Violin-Bow, Practical Application of the Dis- covery. Twenty-two Messages Sent Simultanc- ously over Ono Wire. About the middle of last July Tax Tamuve publishod an account of an invention of Mr. Elisha Gray, Superintendent of the Westorn Electric Manufacturing Company, called by him the telephone, with whoso aid ho was enablod, ga tho article showed, to tranamit sounds from ono ond of the telegraph wire to the othor, or to apy point or pointe along tho samo, At thot timo tho iuyention was sufliciontly advanced to givo promise of practical ro- sults of uncommon valuo, which later dovolopmonts havo fully confrmod. In En- gland, ag will bo soon further op , tho idea at- tracted the fevorablo attention of the very bigh- est sciontific authorities, and it will thue casily ‘po undorstood that when, yoaterday morning, the inventor gave an oxhilition of the now {dea he had discovered in tho field of olectric scionco, ho did go with a confidence ho may not havo posacssed six months ago. THE EXUIDITION of tho telephone took placo in Gen. Btager's room in the Union Building, and was attended Ly Mr, Gray, tho Inventor, Gon. Btagor, Prof. Swing, tho Rov. Mossra. Hurd and ‘Mitchell, Messrs. 8, Barkor, J. Maskell, C. R. Fiold, G. Sturgos, Horbert Ayer, W. II, Smith, Stepben F. Galo, Obadiah Jackson, and ollicrs. It is per- haps mora proper to aay that the oxbibition was of the powers of the telephone rather than of tho instrument itself, which was performing ita pert of tha work at tho office of tho Wostern Eloctria Manufacturing Company ; ‘Dut os the results of tho sound-tranemitting pro- cosa aro mado audiblo at tho office of Gen. Stagor, of course this was tho best place to gather au ides of what the now foaturo in tole- graphing really was. It must bo understood, thon, that on Kinzio stroct, just cast of Stato, a gontloman, in obedionce to inetructions from tho Union Building offico, spent on hour or two at about noon in 2 PLAYING UPON THE TELEPHONE a number of popular hirs, such as ‘Yankee Doo- dio,” “Robin Adair,” ‘Auld Lang Syno,"” “Coming thro’ tho Ryo,” et, and, to onjoy bis musical performance, the gentlemen wero in- vited to Gen, Stager’s room in tho Union Bulld- ing. As soon as thoy arrived and had beou in- troduced to tuo inventor, he brictly explained to them tho nature of tho exhibition, showing that the sutind-producing instrumont was about a milo distant, and calling attention to the RECEIVING INSTRUMENTS, by means of which ho proposed to bring the far- off music within tho hearing of all in the room. Thero were two in number: onc, a sounding-box made in wood, perforated on ono side, about 16 inobes of longth, snd 4 inches in’height and breadth, with an electric magnet placed upon upper surfaco—tho other an ordinary violin with a metallic plate strotcled across it on a bridge, in lieu of tho four strings. ‘THE FIRST EXNIMTION mado was with tho wounding-board, Tho wire loading Into the room from the electric works on Kiuzio streot was connected with tho clectro- magnet on the sounding-box, and the Gencral tolegraphod to tho inatrumentalist at the works to begin playing. Ina few seconda the eound- ing-box begau to evoko sweotly and vyory sonor~ ously the tune of '*Yankeo Dooule,” followed in a minuto by “Robin Adair.” The offect upon tho sudience—all of them wore fully capable of appreciating whatever of tho beauti- ful, or wondorful, or usoful, or all combinod, thero ia in art or nature—was instautancons, They looked from ono tothe other with n that's~ a-big-thing sort of ou oxpression which was nite Amusing, and'whon tho last uote of * Robin Kanir" dled away they made quite s number of pertinent inquiries of the inventor, who explain- ed to them that THE BOUND WAS PRODUCED at tho other oud of the line by an instrumont with keya, which, under the action of the electric ourreut, underwent @ cortain num- ber of vibrations, which, according tothe nun- “'t boreach key achieved, provided ‘its note, tho numbor of vibrations of the hichor keys being, of course, much greater than thoso of tho lower, ‘Tho number of vibrations per second achieved by the key in tho tolophono was repro- duced in the olectrio coil on top of tho sounding-box, which, sympathetically vibrating, sounded the note, Tho inventor then called attention to the fact that with tho introduction of living animal tissuo into the circuit tho eound could be producod without tho agoucy of tho electro-magnet, In proof of this he placed him- self in circuit, and, talking the violin abovo de- seribed in his hands, ho rubbed tho surface of ita metallic pinto with » bow composod uf asmall pices of woud with A VIECE OF 4 Pia's TAIL, ‘ dextorously inserted thorein, aud evoked as loud correct misio aa had been provided by the wounding-box. Having shown the gentlemen present how to do it, they allin turn took the violin tn hand, and although none of them had ever played 8 noto in their lives before, with the aid of the picco of pig's tail thoy produced just as good music aa Mir. Gray, every bit. Tbe inventor then, to show that the principlo applied to overything that was sonorous in its naturo, sont for a dust-pan, from which be, placing fumsolf in cireuit, brought forth tho music, Jess clearly, of courso, than from the viollu or sounding-box, but still quite sudibly to allin the room. He then took AN ORDINARY LETTER-7OX, and placing a sbeot of tissuc-paper ncrose it in- structed 4 gantleman present to put bimsclf in citcuit and hold the papered side of tha Lox to his ears, The fontieman did eo, and announced the name of thotimo at onco, Soveral othor rentlemon played upon the dust-pan and hold tho Ictter-box to their ears* with oqually eatis- factory results, and what was mure remark- able ‘was that while tho song was poa ing forth from the violln tho sonnding- box was playing tho same tune nota whit lees loudly than before, Such aro the differant ox- Aibltfons made by the inventor of his newly-dis- covered featuro in olectrio science, aud, before leaving, the gentlomen prosent all expressed their admiration and wonder at the reanlty nro- ouood, aud a conviction that, practically applicd, the invoution would become of groat commercial importance. lt was reserved, howovor, for luz ‘Tutpuny 1eportor who was present at tho ox- hibition to LOOK DEEFER INTO THE NEW IDRA than had beeu pormitted thoso who bad enjoyed what ia perbape tho niost ainusing, but cortainly ia by no means tho roally important, point of the inyontion. As soon as the inventor and he wore left alone they repaired together to the Western Electrio Manufacturing Company's workehop, in order to have « talk about the prace tical spplication of the new ido, Having examined tho tolopbono, the reporter found that it was an exceedingly simple instrument, con- sisting of twenty-two musical keys, arranged to bo worked cleotrically, ‘he following converna- Gon ensued + Reporter—The exhibition you gave this morn- ing was a wonderful affair, but then tho trans Mieelon of oven operas and oratorios through absolutely enormous distances cannot ever prove of Salta ‘advantage to tho human race. Now, at ie THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION of your invention ? Mr. Gray—t'he practical featura of the inven- ton lica in the fact that, with my iustrament, I oan transmit all the common chords of sevens octave piano sloug ® single wire at tho same time, and in tho further fact that these harmonic sounds can be analyzed at the receiving eud oa inetrumonte, each of which solects its own poe evtiar note, and rejects all others, ‘Thus one wie can easily bo employed by at least twenty~ two ditforent sending and twonty-two diferent reeriving operators. Reporter—Can you not send twenty-two more if Seana iu anu oppruite direction at the same ane aus Gray—Thatis » point I do not know about et, Boportor—You say “at loast twenty-two." Is there, then, 8 prospect of ronding even more inersages in the namo direction 7 Mr, Gray—That remains to beseon, If I can travamit and recoivo DIGCORDB AB WELD AS SARMONIFA of oouirao the number of mousagos will be largely augmoated, but Lhave my doubts avout boing ablo to do FO, Reporter—Woll, twonty-two messages at once {pa good number, How will it work ? Mr, (ray—Wo will seo that In s minute, Teporter—Doves the length of lino make any difference? ‘Mr. Gray—Of course tholongor the wire tho larger the battery required, bnt the sound Is car- ried ovor any length of wire which in olcctrificd from aeufficiently strong battory, In England I made experiments on what they called thera an artificial eablo, representing the conditions of an actnal ocean-cablo, Tho experiments were as thoroughly successful as those you witnessed this morning. At a futuro day wo intend to mako oxporiments with the cablo proper. ABROAD. Neportor—What countrica did sou visit during your European visit ? ‘Mr, Gray—England, Bolgium, Germany, South Germany, Switzerland, aud France, Reporter—What did the Coutinontal eclentiata think of your invention ? Mr, Gray—I did not take my apparatun to tho Continent with mo. I merely went there for pleasure, I had it in London at the Itoyal natitution for ono week, where it was exhibited by Prof, Tyndall to quite a nombor of leading actontlfic gentlemen, whore names I forgot. Among thom wor Latimer Clark, Chiof Engineer of tho English cables, T think that a coupto of hundred people in all must have seen the working of my apparatus in London, and they were all very much astouished. One gontleman told me that whou ho frat heard tho idea ho set it down as @ Yankee humbue, but after seelug it he acknowledyed that hia opinion had to undergo a radical chang. Noporter—I think that before you teft you had not perfected tho recoiving apparatus,—1 mean that for the purpore of sualyzing diatinctly the difforent sounds traveling simultsucunely along tho single wito. y T have developed thet since my return to Uhicngo. I was always confidont that it could be done, and now I have done it. Neportor-—Let mo sco it dona, Mr. Gray produced TWO AINGULAR-LPOKING INSTRUMENTS, a yorbal description of which would be very dim- eult of accomplisliment, aud which, wher xecom- pliahed, would hardly interest tho reader. Pomt- bes to them individually, he satd, ‘That one ro- ‘come through the wire in note *E'; tho ol ono, oll messages which come in note '¢ Ho placed them both in circuit with the single wire which waa connected. with the tolephone, soma 30 feetdistant, and took the reporter over toit. Hero ho sounded, first sepnrately, the notes “IE” and * GQ,” and tho roporter, bending his car to the instrument, caught the faint notes evolved by tho vibrating wiro ag thoy were in turn agitated by tho electric current. Ho then left a small waight rostiug upon each of tho koys, fons to secure tio con- tinuous and simultancous transmineion of both colves MosBAgcs Ww! notes, Inventor aud reporlor then returned to tho analyzing receivors. ‘The reporter placed lis car near the receiver, which the inventor had stated would recoive note “%," and “E” only, and found that note hum- ming away quite as correctly and much more loudly, than at tho telephone; he tried recoiver “G" with equally favorable result. ‘the in- yentor removed receiver “ 15" from tho circuit, but, although the wiro was conveying et once notes “E” and G," and no receiver was taking tho former nolo, the quality of the note pro- duced by roceiver *G” was unimpaired. ‘fhe recoiver producod its own uoto and rejected thas. of the other receiver, de thioditeraxting conversation waich the re- porter had attor this exshivition with the in- yentor, the latter explaincd that thero wan no doubt that what was eo clearly accomplirhed with two notes could certainly bo dono with twonty-two. ‘I'he telographing; would be dono with tho ordinary Moise alphabet, tho preat point now to be discovered being whether tha telegraphing could be done backwards and for- wards atthe samo time. This is the point to which Mr. Gray will devote hia future energios. Inthe meantime ho is propating s transmitti fi instrument with tho aid of which he will shortly show to tho world that oight mes- noges can bo sent along a single wire and received simultaneously, and there is no doubt that when this is dono satisfactorily ho will not bo long in enlarging his inatrumont, and adding the othor fourteen to fill tho twonty-two Simulkanogus messages of which ho is so contl- lent. ‘ INDIA “A.

Why the Grand Trunk Joined the Saratoga Combination. English and American Stockholders in the C., C. & I. C. Quincy & St. Paul Road. RAILROAD MEETINGS, THR GRAND TRUNK, The soml-anoual meeting of tho stockholders of the Grand “Trunk Ratlway of Canada was held at London, Engtand, on the 17th of last mouth: In hia report President Richard Potter ssid that, at his recent visit to Canada, he waa much improssod with tho rapid chauge of the whole character of tho line in its physical condition, and in its increasing adaptation for the busiuerss carried over it. In regard to the Saratoga agreement, Mr. Pot- ter has the following, confirming the report in Tux Tripene, a few woeks ago, announciog that the Grand Trunk had joined tho Saratoga com- bination : At the tine of my arrival the negotiations between the large American railway companies were in full progress, ‘Their object was, a far a4 practicable, to puts ntop to reckiena competition, and to coe to agreement generally upon rates of freight that would yield sometulng a profit to the cairlers, It was aulie inpossible from the firat for the Grand ‘Trunk, or the Great Weatern, oF any live without. termin! at Unicago and New York, suddenly to do away with their agon- ctea; but, after s long and protracted series of sect- fogs, the Grand Trunk Compsny eptered into the general terns and purpose of the negotiations, and agreed to abide Ly certain fixed rates upon Euat-bound aud West-bound trafic, In regard to rates, he says: "The proprietors are aware that during the whole of {he year iH4 the rates of freight loth thruugh and local have been lower than in auy previnus year since the ontablishinent of raflways ou the American conti nent. Our local rates upou the whole of the line from Iuviere du Loup and Quebec to Sarnia and Detruit, for the Oret time tu our career, bave experienced a mate tial reduction during the seston of 1974, No intauso has been the competition of the steamship lines on tho St, Lawrence that passengers have been conveyed from Quebec to Montreal, s distance of 160 mnitea, fur $1, including = stateroom and bed, end 2s ood supper, “so that during tlle travel~ tug reason ‘of this year we have had Do pateenger trae between Quebec and Montreal, Lecatre wo did notattempt to follow acompetition x ruinous, In freight during the season of 1474, between the same places'a barrel of flour weighing 200 pounds han been conveyed from the wharves of Montreal to the wharves of Quebec fur Sicenta per barrel ; and when Twas lant at Buffalo, ao recentiy sa the 4th Of Novem- ber, just at tho close of lako narigation, ateam-propel- Jers were taking a ton of coal from Buffalo to Cuicago, a water dintanice of 1,000 tniler, against a railway dis- tance of about 500 miles, for 25 cents per ton. Thero are iustances of the keen competition prevailing all over the American continent, Though the lake and river navigation has cloned at Iaat advices, the con- tinued depreesion of business has provented, up to this time, any material riso in freight, either for Esstward or Westward bound traftic. = Mr. Potter also states that tho connection of tho road between their syatem at Buffalo, and the Erie Railway over the International Bridge was completed during his stay in Canada; but 80 profitiess bad been tho business between Chi- caro aud Now York, and eo far in excess of tho fruight to be moved is the capacity of the railway companies and their equipment throughout the district between New York and Chicago, that they Lad mado no effort to orgauize a servico of trains. COLUMBUS, CHICAGO 4 INDIANA CENTRAL, A meeting of first aud second mortgage bond- holders of the Columbus.

New York, Jan. 4.—A meeting of the stock and bondholders of the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central Railroad was teld to-day. Re- parketions committees of both stock and bond- holders were read. ‘I'ne Committees claim that, under the smonded Jeaso, the Peunsylvania Railroad 1s responsible for the interest on tho bonds, which tne latter recently claimed they sre not responsible fur. The Committee recom- mond, first, that the firat-mortgsge bondhold- ora call & meoting snd appoint especial committecs, with powor to protect their interest ; and, second, that tho second-mortgago bondholors call & meeting to take chargo of their interceta, ‘The stockholdors' report char- acterized the amended lenge oa having been con- coived in bad faith and cousummated In fraud or ignorance, or under pressing threats of law.

From the Liverpool Pat. Dec. 10. Atremendoug and destructive gas explosion occurred shortly before 8 o'clock Inst” even- ing in Great Lister atreet, Birmingham. §o far as can be ascertained, there has been o leaka,;o from the water mains in the stroet for some tino past, and this cauzed a subsidence of the suil of the roadway, forming a cavity beneath the sur- face.
