Jobbers and Dealers are asked to co-operate with us, FOR OUR MUTUAL GOOD, by being careful that they do not supply any of the above named firms with our apparatus. graph is through thin, hard rubber tubes,, the ends of which are connected with the ears like the modern stethoscope. These fine tubes have the curious property of softening away the grating or hissing noise, which is really the reproduction of the noise of the sapphire cutting into the wax, while at the same time increasing and rendering more faithfully than the trumpet the sounds one desires to hear. When a trumpet is used objectionable sounds are emphasized, and there is a good deal of metallic vibration as well. I should explain I am referring to the literary Phonograph and not those specially constructed for concert use. When dictating it is best to speak into the metal trumpet provided with the machine. It is perhaps interesting to mention that the foregoing remarks are recorded on exactly three cylinders and a half, and therefore in all probability consist of about 3,600 words. Dealers are urged to sign the new Agreement promptly. THE MEQAHORN. Most of the devices gotten out for improving the Phonograph amount to little when tested by experience. The Douglas megahorn, however, is one of the devices which seems to have real merit. The horn is made of hard-finished pressed board (not papier mache) . It is constructed of several pieces built around a model or mould on a plan of an ever-increasing circle, there not being a straight line in the entire construction. Authorities on acoustics pronounce this horn the best of its kind in use for reproducing of records. It is made in two sizes, as follows : Mega Jr., 22 inches long with 13inch bell ; mega large, 32 inches long with 24inch bell. A few points claimed by the manufacturer of this horn is that a greater individuality is given to instrumental records, distributing the volume of tone and imparting a resonant quality not to be had in any other horn.
