Phone Device Makes
Even Whispers Clear
Sfilial to The Telegraph
London, June 7.—According'to tele
phone experts here, a vast stride in the
mechanical perfection of tl*» telephone
has been made through an invention by
Pierre de Lange, a Dutch engineer, who
is visiting London.
De Lange asserted that his appliance
goes a long way toward making wire
less telephony practical. Various tech
nical bodies in England have examined
his invention and think highly of it.
The invention is a simple contrivance
in tKe Receiver that regulates the sound
waves, eliminating the rattling noises
over the telephone and making long
distance talking easier. The phone
will be an aid. says De Lange. in every
household or office, by doing away with
the disquieting noises that now are so
disturbing. Scotland Yard has accept
ed De Lange's invention as practical
and is installing it. De I,ange showed
Pcoland Yard how tt is possible to
hear a whisper over the phone through
his invention. This appealed to Scot
land Yard and a comprehensive system
is to be adopted.
The whole idea of De lunge's inven
tion is concentrated in utilizing the air
waves Inside the receiver and doing
away with resistance offered by an
electro-magneto insead of a dia
phragm. as now used in receivers. De
T.ange has a thin platinum wire in the
.air chambers, which is quickly re
sponsive, and he says this prevents the
strong vibration that now is respon
sible for the "jarring" waves. De Lange
calls his Invention a thertnophone.

The pursy coroner blinked at the
apeed with which his Jury returned
their verdict. Not that any other ver
dict was possible—everybody agreed
as to that. A waste of time and pub
lie moneys—the two weeks" hearing.
President Darius Brown was dead.
There could be no doubt about it.
He had been respected, living: dead,
he was a knave. Gunshot wound ex
perts and the mute, mechanical wit
ness proved the Jury correct In their
finding.
Expert accountants, expert sleuths,
layman witnesses showed conclusively
the crookedness of the late Darius
Brown. But the moneys he had
filched from the bank funds and 'the
securities he had borrowed from the
vaults had been found beside his life
less body. Depositors had lost noth
ing. Future depositors had gained an
honest president. Darius Brown had
lost his life. So why bother?

satisfaction of "having known all

I.
President t>arlus Brown gradually
permitted a broad smile of satisfac
tion to overspread his face as he stud
led the record of his first paying
teller. He waved the Pinkerton rep
resentative, with the little bundle un
der his arm, away, while he stared
absently at the opposite wall, then
pressed the annunciator and ordered
the negro porter to send in Mr. Drum.
"Go to the vault, Travers, and fix
up the camera," he smiled at the
Pinkerton man. "I'm Just taking a
minute to reward a young man who
has helped get enough securities Into
that vault to make it worth guard
ing."
The detective glanced keenly at the
young man who answered the sum
mons. then his lips tightened a bit.
He knew the face of Joseph Drum,
had seen the young man mingling with
a rather fast set, had marked his
presence at the Gayety stage-door. He
was an old-school detective who be
lieved the leisure hours of f banking
man might be better employed.
Darius Brown noticed the look, the
appraisement of the sleuth, and
laugHed as he whirled about upon his
teller.
"Looking over the books and recol
lecting the circumstances attendant
on certain deposits," he began pon
derously, "I And that you have brought
a good many customers to the Fourth
National. Drum. I also am agreeably
reminded that you have shown good
Judgment in advising depositors re
garding certain Investments they in
tended making. You are a bit gay,
I know, but I have every reason to
believe that you are careful, and I
know you are working for the bank
outside of hours. This is the twenti
eth century. Drum, and I am a twen
tieth century man. So I am increas
ing your salary to five thousand dol
lars a year."
Joseph Drum's jaw dropped In
amazed Incredulity. For Just a sec
ond he could not get the astounding
good news into his head. The presi
dent had already risen and stood be
aide the door leading to the bank
vault by the time he was able to voice
his thanks.
"Don't thank me," he said crisply.
"Just continue to be careful. Be as
gay as you please, so long as you're
careful and it brings us the right sort
of deposits and doesn't affect the clear
ness of your brain. And," he wagged
a long forefinger rather playfully as
he gave the warning, "don't wear out
the bricks in front of the Gayety stage
door." ,
"I don't think I'll need to make
but one more trip there —now."
President Brown halted, his, hand
on the knob, as though to answer. A
little crease of uncertainty grew be
tween his eyes as he watched the elate
back of his paying teller, noted the
happy springiness of his step as he
returned to hts cape. Then he smiled
as he understood the full meaning of
Drum's cryptic rejoinder and Joined
the detective, who had Just finished
adjusting his apparatus in the door
of the huge, black vault.
"It works this way, Mr. Brown,"
explained the man, "The camera
slides into the steel mesh back here,
giving the lens the angle to catch any
body tampering with the combination.
Here are the triggers on each side
of the door, all set. and the flash pow
ders are placed In these little contain
ers Now, look! Here's the trick."
The detective replaced a loose
tile, then drew away. His back sud
denly stooped while a furtive, evil ex
pression frew in his qyes as he
slipped stealthily toward the safe.
Without explanation, the bank presi
dent saw that he was simulating a
burglar. He watched keenly, uttering
an ejaculation of surprised delight as
the man's foot touched the loose tile
and, simultaneously, the flash powders
flamed from the door, leaving a
lilume of hot. acrid smoke behind.
"And there you have the face of
the bank thief!" he chuckled. "Very
Ingenious Indeed! Just re-set the
trap and don't forget to develop the
plate and bring it to me for a souve
nier. Tne way of the yeggman is
certainly growing almost impossible,
Drammoiid."
"Yes sir. Inside work is about aV
