MAGIC VOICE
FROM A PIPE ORGAN LONDON, Nov. 2G. An audience at the Regent street Polytechnic listened spellbound to Sir Richard Paget's experiments for mechanical reproduction of the human voice. * Sir Richard Paget used bellows, eonneeli'd to u short length of oxg.M. pipe. , . The mouth of the latter was arranged to represent the vocal chords of the human voice, which the experimenter cleverly manipulated his fingers, until it imitated the varying resonances in the cavities of the human mouth formed by t'io throat, palate, and tongue. Thus the instrument clearly asked, "Hello, London! Are you there?" and other questons.
