MUSIC FROM A VASE
NEW LOUD SPEAKER Porcelain vases, ami even waste-paper baskets arc among tin* everyday objects from which music can l»> made to cmne m a seemingly miraculous manner. This us due io flm invention of a greatly simplified loud speaker which is being demonstrated daily in London. Before starting on his African tour the Duke of (Uuuccsler ordered on the King's behalf a. beautiful" Chinese vase fitted as an electric lamp and concealing a loud speaker with sufficient volume to fill a very large room. From two elect lie reading lamps of silver papier macho will issue wireless and gramophone music It* which passengers of the giant airship 111 CO will da rice when in mid air. The new loud speaker is only the size if a fist, and has been evolved on highly scientific lines, ft has an air cushion, very much on the principle of a drum, and because it has no edge there is no vibration. It requires neither horn, cabinet, nor baffle board, and can. oi course, be used either with a. gramophone or wireless set. Another advantage is that, owing to the scientific principles on which it is built, the music that issues from it. has no “direction,” but- literally “floats about." the room.
