Belion of the French artillery observed not long ago that if a tele phone was in sufficient proximity to, although not in actual contact with, a telegraph line, it would be influenced by the current of the latter. Certain sounds were produced in the telephone whenever a message passed along the telegraph line. He has now succeeded by long con tinued experiments in perfecting a sys tem showing the phonetic impression produced by each letter of the Morse alphabet, thus enabling anyone with some practice to read by the sound of the telephone any message circulating in a neighboring'line. It will be read ily understood that this discovery may be of great importance in war time, as in this way a telegraph line might be tapped without in any way interfering with the current circulating in it, and bcnce without the slightest indication to tue stations connected by the line.
