A phonographic apparatus is to be installed in the hall where the Municipal Council of Etampes. a little town in the forest of Fontainebleau, in France, meets to take down the official record of the proceedings.

How the names of the various speakers are to be recorded by the machine is not stated, but the French official stenographers are looking forward to the experiment with some interest. 'Mrs Meeker,’ observed a friend of the family, ‘is a very superior woman. She can converse intelligently. I believe, on a thousand different topics.’ ‘Yes,’ sighed Mr Meeker, ‘and she does.’
