Names of Talking Machines.
They Are Called "Grapho phones" by the
United States Patent Office.
A small company of men was
gathered about a talking machine
the other evening enjoying the latest
popular song, when one of them,
who is, as the reporter subsequently
learned, a prominent patent lawyer,
made the following contribution to
the scientific knowledge ol the day:
'In the popular mind there is
considerable misapprehension and
confusion regarding the correct de
signation of talking machines. The
words 'Graphophone' and 'Phono-
craoh are ordinarily misused as
having the same meaning. I he
name 'Phonograph' which was given
to the first crude model constructed
bv Edison, has clung in large mea
sure to the perfected talking machine
parties, or else ;, i8 known to-day

According to our neighbor con
temporary, Dr. Herman was not
running lor himself, but to please
Hummel. That is certainly not very
complimentary for an opponent to
lend himself as a tool to the iolitic
al enemies oi those who gave the
doctor a very lucrative position on
the pension board. Either our con
temporary tails to tell the truth or
else he puts Dr. Herman in an un
enviable position.
There is beginning to be a little
discussion on the nlans and some
other preliminary arrangements for satisfactory)
Middlehurg s Centennial w h l C Ii

favor the 1th of July while still
others favor alxnit two months later
in the season, say September, wedo
not know what time ofthevear 1800
the tow n was laid out, but we can at
least make a precedent and name a
dav r-o that these '-'(KM) fellows com

Robert Hardy's Seven Days.
In this issue of the PoOT, we lie
gin the new serial under the above
title written by Rev. Charles M.
Sheldon of Topeka, Kansas. Rev.
Sheldon won his reputation by the
story "In His Steps," and those of
our readers who have read this
serial will not miss an Opportunity
to read Robert Hardy. Those of
oar readers who are not familiar with
Sheldon's writings, we ask that you
read "Roliert Hardy's Seven Days."
It liegins on the inside pages of this
week's Post and will le completed
in six weeks. Sheldon's writings
are more widely read to-day than
any other living author's. If the
reader is not familiar with the career
of this author, he will find a double
column portrait and sketch on the
inside pages.

"It is the news, thefore, to many
people to learn that all the talking
machines ef the present day are of
ficially termed '(iraphophones' by
the U.S. Patent Office.
"lu 1877 the attention of the world
was riveted to a new invention bv
Thomas Edison of a machine that
would talk, to which he applied the
name 'Phonograph.' Imaginative
people at once legan extravagant
speculations as to the many uses to
w hich it could lie put. The me
chanical methods employed in it,
however, were incapable of practical
use. It employed tin-toil 88 the me
dium for receiving ami reproducing
the sound waves and a record made
on this material was not permanent,
was far from lieing perfect or even
uid it could not be re
moved from the particular instru
ment on which it was made without
destroying the record. The phono
graph Served to demonstrate that
sound waves could be recorded and
reproduced, but it could render no
practical service to mankind and dis
appointed expectations, nthe course
of a few years it was forgotten.
The Graphophone appeared ten
years after the phonograph. It was
invented in the Vblta I-alwratory,
Washington, D. C, as the result of
experiments conducted bv Alexander
Graham Bell of telephone fame, and
his associates, Dr. Chichester Hell
and Prof. Sumner Tainter. Its
groat Improvement over the phono
graph, and the feature which is re
vived interest in the talking machine
and made it of practical value, was
in providing a method of cutting or
engraving a record upon a wax-like
tablet or cylinder. This discovery
makes nossiblc lieriuanent records
i
that can be taken from the machine
on which they were made and re
produced on the same or other instruments.
"The Patent Office put into the
(iraphophone Class all similar in
ventions, including Edison's; and
technically speakiug, every practical
talking machine sold in the United
States to-day is a Uraphophone.'
