  1. Autograph style (p.27)Fig 1) tried this morning. The axis from which it turns and all the parts want nice adjusting -- Results unsatisfactory. While I was experimenting with this instrument, I was struck by hearing a very remarkable sound proceed from the Morse sounder M (Fig 9) I used in the circuit.

    2. Ossicles Device

    The point B was apparently in contact with C. The sound persisted when the sounder was removed from the circuit and the sound appeared to come from the lever DAB. Upon examining closely I found that a very minute red or crimson spark passed between B and C.
    It is difficult to describe the moise heard as it is unlike any sound I have heard from magnets before. It partakes much of the characters of a hiss.
