U Impossible tJive Way in c": J This Wonder Age " Of Miracles 1 ' By HARRY E. GATES. Mechanically, thia ia the ponder age. The same can be said commercially.' Yet with all. of our Inventions and new discoveries, with all of our commercial progress we are only on the borderland of still greater scientific and mechanical miracles. ? A mechanical age is not possible without the commer cial. Genius turns its thinking into the channels of de mand. Genius developed the phonograph from a scrap ing, squawking noise, made by a recording upon tin foil to the electric inaohln that brings the program of the world's talent into the ordinary homes of civilization. Commercial demand makes it possible. But the-entrance of radio ' Into this competitive field caused genius, to the main, to expend lti grey gsatter open the derelofrnent of the radio, neglecting the phonograph. However, a few In the Inventive Una rM visions ol further posslbll ltles for the. phonograph. The dic taphone was developed, amplifying, used In radio, was adapted to. the phonograph and the phonograph came back In the home, a recording machine combined with the radio. Radio, will always be popular, so we thought or the phonograph They are both here to stay, but are In their Infancy. Not imperfection, but Infancy. We wonder at the renditions of both. : Recording Phonograph. People like to be heard. ' That Is why the neighbor objects to the pi ano next door. He cannot play It. CHve'hlm a saxophone to blow and he will be over alongside of the next door piano. For the same reason, the seat warmers in church who are given nothing to do, tiro of listening and eventually drop out. With the recording phonograph the listener can be the performer. Keep on Improving his toy and he will keep his Interest. Among ilio new possibilities de veloping for the recording phono graph are talking books and maga zines, with an amateur talent able to anaka their owa. Eventually our books will both act and speak- - , Long Talking Bccord. .., All that Is needed to make talking books possible. Is a long recording and talking record. Ths tauue movie has produced that. Dr. C. H. Howlett, engineer of the General Electric company is respon sible for a talkie film, good for two hours of talking, and it could be made longer if there is need for It. A talkie film carries a complete play the length of the ; average book. '-: But this film is from another field of operation, and its operat ing principle altogether different from that of a phonograph recora. The film Is made In a continuous tape. As It, passes through the ma. chine, in recording, a. microphone reception causes the needle to scratch a lagged line on the film. Through this scratched line light passes, . elcctrlcically reproducing the sound. This principle could be used in the phonograph and maybe comparative coats will determine which process win be utilized In the making of talking books. Dr. Howlette's 400 foot film Is so small that It can be carried In the pocket. Its cost would not be much In mass production. The two dollar talking book Is a possibility. How about the five and ten cent maga zine? The film must approach pa per cost to make it possible. Ex. oerments with some of our trans parent wropperi might produce a cheaper film. Tlw film process must compete with the present phonographic recording nrocess. which roulri use paper coated with a hard, flexible wax or varnish for Its recordings. ' . Another Method, Dr. &tlllo, a German scientist, has developed a process of recording which may revolutionise the phon. ograpfy Industry. In a steel wire, no thicker than the ordinary white twine string Is stored the" recordlnf by. a magnetic wave process. If this process is used for the making or. recording books and magazines. your book or magazine would look like a small spool or wire, unis process may also take the place of the film in the talkie-movie, a would, perhaps, be the cheaper and better- . . . . ' : For the recordings stored in this wire never wear out, canjbe used as often as desired and can be chang ed. Any undesirable portion can be omitted without the cutting and splicing necessary -with 'the "film. There Is little danger of thC'-wlre breaking as the film often does. No fire dangert etc. - Then again the wire la easily reusable for a new re. cording. By- simply changing the voltage used the wire is cleared of the old recording and ready, tor a new one. "'--" StUlfr Process. ' The ooerator talks into a micro-' phone and the steel records it:- Thli recording is permanent;" Years from now that steel wire will repeat your program. 1 And it: Is released at any desired speed. This process is not in the experimental stage. It Is used for long - telephone talks should vou have a half hour mes sage for a friend dver long distance telephone, you should be charfett for onlv five minutes- -The steel records your message at your rate of speaking. It Is released at close to a thousand words per minute The receiving device at the other- end stores It for the recipient and he can listen to it as slowly as he ohoosos. The sending time on an hour message Is only ten minutes. By this method, applied to mess production, hundreds of thousands of wires can take the same program at identically the same time, and li. your magazine -or - book Just- ,a small piece of wire Is mailed to you. You place It in your mnemopnon--not phonograph and listen de Ughtedly to talented artists deliv ering your favorlto story. And you can have your own mag netised wires In you own record ing mnemopbone, for your own httnc talent. " YC, tnere wul be advertising In the talkie-movie magazines. - Borne of it may be disappointing, of COUJE3. For example, Just when the hero is about to k.ss the heroine, she may thrust him aside In horror, exclaiming: "Brush your teeth, twice daily, before trying to kiss me." Or Just when you expect the life guard to rush to the d-owning flapper's rescue, Instead he may throw -her a cake of soap, shouting the words, '"it floats.' "" Radio Television.' -Radio television may do all that we see in the possibilities for the scientific methods 'Just ' described; but by which ever route they come, one thlngls-'certalnl they will come as -the'- outlook ' forecasts- - Wait. But while you wait, enjoy your pres ent " model - phonograph and radio, for television and these coming wonders' may be -long In making their appearance. Television is an accomplished- achievement. The hindrance- is the cost and may be for years to come- .' i Au for the mnattiophone, produc tion has been confined to Its adap tation to telephonic uses. No known effort to produce machines for the homes has-been announced. Pocket Mnemophone. : . .

Y.,- hoard of directors met. The lights went out ' and a television screen lit up. The chairman of the meeting, lire size, appeared on tne screen, called 'the meeting to order and addressed the board, smiling and gesturing Just as though he stood before them in person. He was three inlles away. Then a radio tslvesion' play was performed In a Schenectady thea tre. Television Is ready for the stage with perfect performance re production , -. Including ' voice or sounds, . But this Is not all. Those who can afford the, price will and are hav ing It placed, in the home. Next comes the reduction of cost. Then what will we see In transformation of business methods? The larger firms will begin the Installation of radio television, of course- Chicago will be in New York and, New York in Chicago carrying on conferences. With both sending and receiving sets Installed. ' The New York brok er and the- Chicago broker will sim ultaneously' say "good morning," bowing and smiling at each other. Whole boards will meet with part in San Francisco. Dart in Chicago and part In New York. A San Fran cisco member asks the chairman seated ln-JewXork for the floor. With a smiling nnrl t.h chairman acciulesces,. and thus the meeting will be conducted. The meeting adlourned. with a snap of the switch, each member is back home Now take 'the Industrial plant. With telev'slon Installed the work men will be- under constant obser vation. " The superintendent can take a television trip through any Dart of the plant without the knowledze of .employes. There will bo no loafers fooling bosses then. Each man will get credit for wtti ie do. Television pictures may be made continuously, of every department. When an ac cident occurs the film win do ad mitted as evidence w court to show Just how it happened. Or the enw4 ployment department can use the. films to determine what ir.cn to re-' lain on the payroll.-- . - : ' i - Television Combined., : The Chicago' police department gets the New York police depart ment on the television screen. - "Let us see your prisoners tills morning?" ' asks the chtsf of Chi cago police. Slowiy each cell in the ' New York police department ap pears on tlie Chicago screen. "That's him I That's him!" eager ly exclaims a witness in the Chicago station. "Bring pr.soner number nine out and let me question him," asks the Chicago police. ' The mnemophone r-. or recording phonograph sets questions and M swers down as evldenco while the television camera makes a film of the prisoner 'answering. In like manner business will file records of interviews instead of fil ing letters. And when the Installa tion has reached homes, none of our friends or relatives will be far off. We can visit the home of a distant relative or friend, see and talk with them while they see and , talk wtih us in our home and Dresto' we are both back home at will. These are not wild dreams. These are accomplishments alreadj achieved waiting only for cost re duction or mass demand for their use. '.' :'''; Now for the Speculative- "' .
