More tban 45,000 talking machines are In
die In the United States atone , and the de
mand for them Is ao great that the factories
are working night and day. The phonograph
'a constantly being put to new and unique
lien. The fact that Mrs. Halllngton Booth ,
vhlle lately confined to her house , made
, 'ouslng addresses and sang for many meetIngs -
Ings In Washington , New York and Chicago ,
limply by performing before her phonograph
and distributing the cylinders , Is Indicative
ot the possibilities of the Invention.
One of the largest phonograph dealers In
the country surprised the writer by hi *
produced there for German manageri , and
so succensfully that engagements to slug In
German concert and oprra were obtained for
some of tbo pupils , bated solely upon these
phonographicreproductions. . Some ot our
well known opera singer * employ the pfaono-
graph In rnomorliUg music. Collectors have
else como Into.thuj bualhesi , and laboratories
are now k pt , where tbe voices ot famous
people and all threading" opera slngera are
recorded and filed. awayTf The voices of many
who have already died are to be heard there
and tbwie records have a special value , be
cause famous volcea of the present genera
tion may thus be compared with Iboso ot
their successors.
AS AIDS TO INSTRUCTORS.
Many language teachern are buying quan
tities of machines , some fumlctilng home ln <
etruetlon thereby to as many as 600 puplli.
Prof. It. D. Cortlnlj for example , has been
teaching various language * by tills method ,
especially In South America and In Mexico.
Briefly , his method Is this : He furnishes a
text book arranged In , ay , twenty lessons , a
phonograph with twenty cylinders , on which
the come lessen * are given In hla own voice ,
and twenty blank cylinders. The pupil thus
equipped opens tbe book at tbe first lesson ,
puts the tubes to his ears , starts tbe ma
chine , and , wltb the eye upon the printed
page , follows the ear , establishing perfect
synchronism. The lesson Is repeated more
rapidly until every accent Is familiarized.
Tben a blank cylinder Is put Into the machine
and questions given In the lessen ore on-
MRS. BALLINGTON BOOTH MAKI.N O AN ADDRESS FOR DISTRIBUTION
account of a few of the machine's later1
adaptations. Telephone companies In many
cities , It appears , now use M ordinary phonograph
graph to notify customers when numbers
called for ro "busy. " When the operator
Bnds the wire In use she connects the
switch-board plug with the phonograph ,
which promptly throws out to your ears the
words : "Tho wire Is busy ; please call oft. "
The well known "blind organist" of Wash
ington , Blshoff , finds the phonograph of
valuable assistance In composing music.
When he conceives a score , he hums It over
slowly to the phonograph , making sure that
It will not bo forgotten , and ho can write
out and perfect It later.
" ITS USES IN LAW COURTS.
A few weeks ago a talking machine saved
considerably expense at a trial In Terra
Haute , Im ! . ' , where a stenographer who had
taken the minutes of the suit refused to
transcribe them , as she was to bo married
and had no time. A phonograph was taken
to her and she finally read the notes Into It
and costly delay was prevented. Many cases
have come up. In which phonograph records
have been used as witnesses. A New Yorker
recently brought a machine to court as a
witness In a suit for damages against an
elevated railroad company. It gave Very
faithful reproductions of the noises made by
the trains. The value ot the phonograph tea
a newspaper office Is now widely recognized.
At some offices the reporters who come In
with news dictate the account to a phonograph
graph set up in the editorial rooms , thus
saving considerable time , to some offices
typesetting Is done direct from such a phonographic
graphic dictation , the compositor having a
pedal' by which the phonograph Is started
and stopped , so that one sentence can betaken
taken at a time. During the last political
campaign .some ot the newspapers ot the
country were able to prtat page after page
of speeches delivered only a few hours
earlier , and which could not have been made
up but for .the help of tbe phonograph. The
speechesj\vere redlctated to the machine , and
typewriters had them written out shortly
after the speeches were over. The machine
must bave , had considerable effect upon the
campaign , .too , for many thousands ot cam
paign speeches and selections from speeches
were- talked Mo them and repeated by them
to big audiences.
Tbe use of the phonograph in postofflccs
bas been practical to a certain extent , though
It la not developing very rapidly , In spite ot ,
tbe recent reports that France , Spain and
Italy aro.adoptlng It for postal service. People
ple who can neither read nor write deliver
their message to tbe cylinder , which Is put
In a email box cad mailed as an ordinary
Ifel- letter , delivered to the person addressed , or
Itaf contents written out at tbe nearest post-
office. Some time- ago a representative of
Edl cu went to Mexico to establish uuch a
system In the postofllccs there. While Yvetts
Oullbcrt was traveling through the United
States last year she dictated accounta of the

PRESERVING INDIAN LANGUAGES.
-The Smithsonian Institute Is going to do
a unique thing with tbe talking machine. Its
directors havo. engaged representatives of the
various Indian tribes in thl * country to give
conversations , in tnelr own tongues , to phone ,
graph macblnes. They will then be trans
ited Into BnglUta , so that tbe dialects ot
these dying racea may be accurately pre
served for posterity.

ed la sick room * and hospitals , where they
re found 'Very valuable for amusing patients.
The phonograph boa reached the kinder

swcred. This record goes to the professor ,
who listens to the recitation and communi
cates criticisms , . 1'uplls realize the efficiency
of tlila method and the tireless repetition ot
the Instruction ot any hour of the day or
night. Cylinders freighted with a chapter ot
a novel or a ballad , in any language , arc
furnished to advanced scholars. With tbo
Introduction ot the idonograph in the homes
ot all claseea It is expected that cylinders
teaching elocution , literature , science , his
tory , etc. , as well as lectures , will also be
had at low prices.
Ventriloquist dolls , birds , animals and all
sorts ot toya have been fitted with talking
machines. An English firm has succeeded
In getting a small phonograph Into an ordi
nary sized drawing room clock , which Is
both useful and amusing. The phonograph
attachment Is adjusted to go oft like an ordi
nary alarm',4 the hands being set so that It
will perform 'tis" various feats at desirable
times. The report doeo not nay that It calls
out the hour , though that seems to be under
stood , and , as Mark Twain suggested , the
clock may give visitors suitable hints , euch
as "This is my busy day , " or , where the
young woman of the house Is In the habit ot
sitting up late with her "company , " the clock
at midnight might courteously ask him to go
homo or to spare the gas.
THEIR ADVERTISING USES.
A great many phonographs are used for
novel advertising purposes. Some stores have
life-sized ornamental figures holding a
trumpet to the lips. A phonograph arranged
Inside the figure furnishes aa attraction , and
in one way or , another le calculated to make
sales. Ic a 'music store , for Instance , tbe
latest songs , are sung , an announcement Is
made Of their merits , etc.
The phonograph already has a number of
love affaire , to list credit. In one case an
actress succeeded id making the acquaintance
of a musician whose phonograph records had
delighted her. He aroused her from time to
time with hla selections , and when they
bpcame intimate he slipped a special record
Into the muchlno one day , which contained a
skillful proposal of marriage. Then there
was a feUow tOiwept ; to a New York phonograph
graph parlor , listened to a number of selec
tions and then asked the attendant If he
could talk'fo'a machine. He was allowed to
do so. The next day he returned accompanied
by a young woman. They listened to a
number ot pieces and finally the music
stopped In the middle of a waltz and a
familiar voice said : "I have loved you tor a
long time , but have never dared tell you so.
Will you be my wife ? " When that bashful
fellow railed again be said : "She- called me
a coward , but I dco't care It's all right. "
Perhaps the most remarkable- of these
machines is by doctors and surgeons In
studying diseases by means ot the records.
Every malady ot the throat , nose , chest ,
lungs , heart , and even a patient's cough ,
has been registered In thla way. Tbo pa
tient describes to the machine the features
ot his cose , acid , by making records In differ
ent stage ? , the phslclaa ascertains tbe con
dition of the patient. A remarkable library
of records la kept by Dr. J. Mount llleyer ot
New York. He bas bout 1,000 of such
records , each marked , dated and described ,
and If a patient has a relapse tbe doctor
takes dawn the former cylinders and can at
onc9 recall the circumstances of the case.
An Improved machine , called tbe micro-
phonograph , Is used by some of these doctors
In studying the feeble sounds given out by
the organs of the body. By means of this
Invention many deaf persons are being bene
fited. Aural massage In tbe form of a
screeching noise , caused by cylinders with
rough surfaces , Is applied to their cars for
two hours dally , and this so stimulates the
nerves as to provide ectne substitute for tbo
paralyzed orgaca ,
ON THE RACE TRACK.
The value ot the phonograph has been
proved at the race track. Ai tbe contestants
rasa the line their numbers are generally
called so rapidly that the judges often din-
agree. When the machine Is used tbo Jmlgo
faces It , so that every sound Is heard , and
there Is no room for disagreement after thu
"finish. " An odd use la being made of a
Itionograph by a physicist , who la now
studying climatic conditions in the tropical
regions. He employs a machine for record
ing thunder claps , volcanic sounds , ets >
A phonograph is being made for uso.at the
exposition ot 1900 which la expected to be ol
undent dimensions to be heard by 10,0X (
persons. Meantime the phonograph Is being
< M d a great deal In churches. In an Ohio
church an address from the former pastor ,
who live * In California now , was recently
delivered by phonograph. The members ot
the congregation bad 'been anxious to have
him make < i visit , but , not being able to leave
hla bcme , tie aent the address in phonographic
graphic cylta&niY ) A Philadelphia preacher
has ua d a machine In church to repeat the
scripture tofeMn ahd he l nde vorlng to place

with clubs and In tjie homes of people who
JMver Attend churchIn : New Jersey tfiere

STORY OF A VISIONARY MAN
Died Poor In Bpltn oC the * Wealth Ills
Invention HrcaRht to Other *
_ t im am * Iotrn oC
, Lntfcas * aboles.
"What a huge Jortwie the Inventor ot tbo
typewriting machine : must have made , " euld
a man who waa fanpnesed by a statement of
the number of Instruments In use.
La matter offact : , relates the New York
Sun , the man toi.Vt m the first successful
typewriter was tee idled poor. 'Ho ' was La
tham Sholes. Thto msory of his experience
came mostly fronlhl own lips. He had not
left his bed for year * before he died at the
ago of 71 In the tulltssc of an active and an
unusual mind. Onlym short time before the
end came he mala another , a more compact
machine , on another principle. The work
was done with , his icwn thin hands. It ho
had lived only a lltUo longer ho would have
been dependent on bis children , who bad
received virtually no benefit from the prod
uct of his Inventive genius. The fear ot that
doubtless hastened his death. Ho had said
that about all ho ever received directly and
as a right from the Invention was $12,000 ,
and this after the commercial success of
the machine was assured.
His failure to obtain a larger share of the
profits of the Invention was due , \Judglng
from the standpoint ot his friends , to the
power ot a strong , persistent and domineer
ing character over a gentle visionary. Ho
could not or would not himself explain the
Influence on him of Densmore , the man who
undertook the business of exploiting the ma
chine ; but It was apparent that be shrank
from the violent temper or the man. In
consequence ot the j.islstcnce of Dcusmoro
and his own peculiar conscience , Sholes be
stowed on one already flch from the busi
ness an Improvement that might have been
sold for a great deal ot money. Ho often
said ho would have been worth mono money
If ho had never Invented a writing machine.
Ho had made one fortune , but did not keep
It. He was not a practical business man.
His disposition from childhood bad been
Influenced by the unwholesome belief that
each year might bo his last. The doctors
had condemned him as a consumptive. Ho
liad gone to Qrecn I3ay when a mere lad.
In that wild region , at tbo edge , ot a pine
forest Into which few white men had fol
lowed the steps of the Jesuit missionaries ot
nearly 200 years before , he grew up more a
poet than a man of affairs. He was poorly
adapted to the work ot the legislator out
side of Utopia , yet he become a member of
the Wisconsin assembly. The constant ex
pectation of death , perhaps , caused much of
his amiability ot ecntlment toward the hu
man race. He yearned , then hoped , and finally
expected to see the abolition of poverty
and greed and the dawn ot universal love.
Hlo knowledge of political history was ac
curate and comprehensive , his Interest In
contemporary politics lively , but he was too
fanciful to tie hlmoclf to any party. Ho
was a charming talker. Words , chosen with
nice discrimination , flowed from his lips In
a steady , tireless stream. His cadaverous
face was sensitive and hla body always trail.
From a state printing contract ho gained
What was then and there regarded as a fair
fortune. In a little more than a year it had
slipped through his fingers , chiefly as a re
sult of misplaced confidence. He was the
customs collector for the port ot Milwaukee ,
and then the editor of a daily newspaper.
His loaders were strangely mild and Imper
sonal for a western party journal of that
time.
DEVELOPING AN IDEA.
It was whllobo WCM making ttio.model of <
lodger-paging machine thatha.waa. urged to.
helpiout a-poor-devil whose distracted mind
was 'bent on kmctlng a writing 'machine.
Finding the man's Ideas worthlccs , Sholes
abandoned them and began en a new line.
There were several ] heartbreaking failures
when' success seemed sure , 'but at last there
was the thing Itself. IThat , however , was only
the beginning of trouble. A machine that
would write was -well ; glorious , even , after
two centuries or fruitless effort ; but whence
the means to make .lt go commercially ?
Years before , one bitter night In midwinter ,
when some legislators had gathered close
about the redhoti stove ot a tavern at tbo
capital , there burst slnto the room a heavy ,
enow-covered man ; whose conspicuous fea
ture was a long and tangled beard , now hung ,

himself Invented a car , now In general use ,
but at this time $600 was all ho could com
mand. Thla he gave to Sholco , taking an
Interest In the machine for It. He under
took to find tdo capitalist , without whom
nothing could come of the years of toll and
worry. In New York , among the Inhospi
table men of money , ho needed alt his tenac
ity end Insensibility. There was only an
unwavering confidence In himself to sustain
htm under the dally rebuffs. For months
he lived In a garret almost bare of furniture ,
with a dietary strangely like the raw turnips
of Colonel Sellers. Raw apples ccnstltuted
all hid food during tbe period ot trudging
from one repellant office to another.
Although one of a changing crowd ot
money-seeking Inventors , tils strong per
sonality was long remembered In the offices
of Investors. From this bitter struggle with
skeptics a more sensitive man would have
retired with defeat , but he won. Not all
at once , but he gained step by step , always
deserving more than he achieved. When
thLa hardest work was done find the manu
facture of the machines was begun on a
small scale , his arrangement was that Sholes
should receive $12.000 a year. Four yean *
went by , It Is said , and virtually all the
Inventor received was a frequent discourag
ing report. At last Densmore Induced the
weary Inventor to accept $12,000 for all that
was duo end for all his rights.
PLUCKED DY THE MANUFACTURER.
Densmoro was kind In hie own rough way
to the Inventor. Ho Invited him to New
Ycrk for pleasure and kept him wretched

had anything .to'db. Dcnstnoro now lived
In the cast , and'hla Income from the ma
chine waa aald to be more than $00,000
a year. Sholta , having had itveral
hemorrhages , went to Colorado for two win
ters , and Dor.emoro bore the expenses of a
winter In Florid . .wfiVn Sholea completed
an Improvement , ' < o th6 'inachtni Dcnimore
demanded It ao a rltfht and' got It. Wtun
Sholes' family and' trims , raged , the In
ventor defended thft Rift as a matter ot
conscience. Ho urged that to sell the Im
provement to others would Injure the busi
ness ot these who had acquired the original
machine , and that they had a just claim
on any Improvement which Sholes might
Invent. While tbero ncs no written condi
tions , It was understood that Sholes would
bo taken care of.
At last tbo Inventor retired permanently
to hla bed. Mot that he was wholly unable
to move about , but he bad a theory. Every
person , ho said , wag endowed with a certain
amount of vital energy. If he dissipated It
In physical exercise he oh'.rtcncd his lite. He
proposed to conserve Ols oncrgy by living al
most prone. His bed waa a worktbop. With
the occasional eld of a machinist , ho under
took the construction of a ucw kind of writ-
Ins matbliip. He made several mo-Iels , cud
ono that pleased htm. Densmoro kept his
eyeon It , ridiculed It , then demanded It. Ho
urged that but for him the first machine
would never have- been a success , and that bo
had done vcll by the Inventor. Ho would
nwko no written terms , but ho would < lcnl
fUlrly If anytbtaR should come of It , nblch
ho could not believe.
As his son's had en Interest In tbe new
machine , Sholes refused. ThU enraged Dens.

Perhaps the life of this Inventor la not
exceptlccol. It I * a cotnmohpMee that th
Inventor Is often compelled to surrender all
his rights for a comparatively small amount _ ? ,
before the Invention roaches the stage at " > C
manufacture. lut It la certain that but for
the strange Influence ot Densmore , but fotf
tbe shrinking of the ncnsltlve Inventor from
everything violent , Sholca might have re
tained a sufficient Interest In bla own crea

Ho was an ultra-vegetarian and lived mainly ;
on apples , and did not hoallate to rebuke en
tire strangers In a public restaurant for eat
ing meat. Ho died socn after the death 68
Sholes , leaving a largo fortune. The llttla
left by the Inventor waa not the product ot
hla Invention. Yet ho had acomplltbcd what
men had tried to do for nearly 200 years In
vain. The first attempts bad In view tbo con
struction ot a machine , by which the blind !
could write. It was about forty years ago
that the Idea of a machine to displace the pen
was formed , but all the modcla were de
fective until Latham Sholdi turned his gcnlua
to the problem. He made no fewer than tbrca
machines on different principles. This In
vention has effected a wonderful change la
offlco work , bas made tbe briefs ot lawycra
and the manuscripts ot writers more eligible *
and has made an occupation for tens ot thou-
eantls ot young wanen. The man who did It
received the smallest ot the benefits. ,
