VIOLIN PLAYED BY WIRELESS WAVE.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 6A discovery which is predicted to effect a complete revolution in wireless methods was made public here, when a violin was made to play and talk by wireless. A violin was "placed .on a wall, while in a room some distance away a melody was played into a sending apparatus. Those present were greatly astonished wnen the melody automatically repeated itself on -~e violin. Later the human voice was transmitted, and a sensation was created when the violin repeated quite distinctly the spoKen words. The patent rights of this discovery are hela by two young Danish engineers, named Johnsen and llahbeck, who developed it three years ago. It i s based on tne previously known fact that certain substances, finder electrical treatment^ receive similar magnetic qualities. /
