THE EIDOPHONE.
A wonderful instrument is the eidophone, which is used to " photograph " sounds. By its aid has been demonstrated the fact that every note of music has a corresponding visible form. Certain highly pitched voices, when recorded by the instrument, produced figures exactly like trees, while others gave impressions resembling bowers and foliage. Other notes still produced grotesque shapes suggestive of natural objects. Very curious was the picture produced by recording three notes of music through the apparatus. It was precisely like a tree growing beside a sheet of water. It should be remembered, however, that the forms vary according to the vibrating" medium used.
