In recording speech on t allo- photophone| a mirror five un- dredths of an inch in diamete: r- ranged to cast a beam of light on a moving negative. The mirror is con- I nected with a_diaphragm which vi- ¢ the sound | brates waves. WitR the vibration of the dlaphragm the mirror oscillates and the reflecting bewm of light moves with it and is projected through a small aperture to a sensitive fllm which is in continuous motion. This film, when developed, shows a suc- cession of dark up-and-down mark- ings on a clear background, and this, rate and range of markings corre- sponds to the modulations of th voice. The very low inertia of mir- ror and diaphragm enables the of light to produce a sound that catches the fine overtone cate shadings of speech and sounds that distinguish one from another. The recording device operates 1 mechanical principles. The r ducing element is elect of operation.

Among the possil the machine w be, in tim. to send a m backward and ave it re the same way al the receiving st and then to have the message ex- ! actly reproduced by running the film | that the message was received on the other way. In this manner it would be impossible for the message to be picked up by a radio set of the ordi- nary type. It 1s also pointed out that the pallo- back- of i photophone will be valuable in re- cording the Indian and other lan- guages which have sounds difficult to reproduce on the talking machine and other devices, but which are sired for study. This instrument, ing able to record hissing or other sounds accurately, it is possible to record a whisper twenty feet from the machine, MATERNTY LAY \ i plaint, Calis Act Uncon- stitutional. Suit to declare the Sheppard-Town- er maternity law unconstitutional and to enjoin Secretary of the Treasury of the government from carrying out the provisions of the act and trom cx- pending public moneys thereunder was filed vesterday In the District § preme Court by Harriet A. Frothing- ham, wife of Randolph Frothingham, a Boston lawyer. Mrs. Frothingham sues as a tax- payer of the United States and claims Congress exceeded its powers in pass- ing the legislation, which, she as- serts, interferes with state rights and personal liberty. The state of Massachusetts has not accepted the provisions of the act, and Mrs. Frothingham says she wili be compelled to pay taxes toward | the expense of $80,000 annually pro- vided for the bill, and thus be re- quired to pay for advantages (o other states.
