Edison’s Latest.
Mr Edison has added a new horror to existence. He attaches an instantaneous photographic camera to his phonograph, plants his two lethal instruments right in front of an orator, and sets them to work. The phonograph records every syllable, that falls from his lips, and every “hem ’ and ‘er ’ and mispronunciation, while the lightning camera simultaneously photographs eight or twenty times every second the movements of the speaker. Then the photographs are projected by a magiclantern the size of life, the phonograph is set goinsr, and the oration can be re-deliv-ered ad infinitum. As the magic-lantern can magnify a picture to any 'size, we shall some day see a twenty-foot orator fitted with a speakirtg trumpet’ orating to 100,000 persons in Hyde Park.
