The Microphone.
At a recent meeting of the Society of Tela, graph Engineers, Professor Hughes gave aoma particulars of an experiment be had made by submerging a microphone in a public bath. By the unassisted ear no sounds could be distinguished, bat by the aid of the micros phone a great confusion of sounds was re. veiled, doors being shut, footsteps, voices, water flowing, all mixed together. This proved the vibratory power of water, and a practical application of the phenomenon is found in the fact that the microphone is now part of the regular equipment of certain water companies in Germany. where it is used to detect leakage from the pipes by the aoiae o( the waterflow.
