It rests, unlike the former, on an acoustic principle, and does not produce the sounds in a micros scopic form. The chief obstacle to the introduction of the glossograph will be the difficulty in deciphering the chur acters, but it is not impossible that with the help of a second automatic ap- paratus, the characters produced by the glossograph may be translated into our common type-writing.

The judge suggested a briefer statement of the point, probably beliey- ing, with the judge of the supreme court in the anecdote, that justices may be presumed to know something of the forms of law. The young man then stated his point in plain and condensed English.
