On his first visit to Canada, "Pedro" - accompanied by Dr. J. O. Perrine, of Bell Telephone Laboratories - was demonstrated before large audiences in Montreal, Toronto, and Hamilton. The name "Pedro" is taken from an }ncident in the early his- tory of the telephone. 'Alexander iGeaham,,Bell; demonstrated::his• in- •vention for the first time at the Pliiladelpliia Centennial Exhibi- tion ,of 1876:; One of his visitors', -was Dem Pedro de. Alcantara, Emperor of Brazil. The Emperor -was ao; startled: at hearing a voice coming over a wire, that he' drop ped thereceiver with a Brash and exclaimed, "lily God, it talks 1" ' So, when Bell telephone en- gineers recently constructed a • machine that actually does talk, :they called it "Pedro" in honour of the Empergr.. "Voder" stands for "Voice Operation Dernonstra- for", • because (Pedro, shows, by electrical means, the way the human voice is produced. Pedro is not a phonograph:- He builds speech, „just as .you do when you ,tall or shag. When you speak, you call into - play two entirely separate wounds .- one produced by the vocal chords, and Another by the breath . alone. Instead of vocal chords, Pedro has :,an -electric oscillator generating a "buzz" rich, in over- tones. For breath he employs an- other circuit wlue i makes a "hires" in the loudspeaker. The buzz is the basis of the voiced consonants such as "m" "1", and "r",and vowels. The hiss is' the bais of the sibilant consonants such as "s", "th", and "f", and whispers. To shape these ° fundamental sounds into speech, you make use of your palate, tongue, teeth, and lips. For the same purpose, Pedro, has electric filters each controlled by a key, which divide either the "buzz" or the "hiss" in -to ten parts. Thus, there are 20 elemen- tal' sounds to be built up into speech. In addition, there are spe- cial'keys. for forming the "stop" consonants such as "t" and "b", a pitch pedal to enable the Voder to copy the inflections of the human voice and,a special switch for the "vibrato", a fluctuation both in pitch and Wittiness which is used to make Pedrd sing. By means of this keyboard, the operator can produce the 50 dif- ferent sounds m the English lan- guage, combine them with the proper inflection, and vary their pitch and loudness for singing. Some sounds require the use of -- as many as five different keys at a time. To make Pedro say "con- centration", the operator must form 13 different sounds in suc- cession, niake five movements of the wrist bar, and vary the posi- tion of the pedal from three to five times according to the ex- pression she wishes to give the word. All this must be done just as quickly as it takes you to say "concentration". Pedro is just one of many de- vices constructed by telephone en- gineers to study the fundamen- tals of sound and speech - all with >i view to constant improve- ment of your telephone service.` r IJoBell tTelephonepCon CompanyofCanada en` 8:. -A4440'1:1)4* 40130 lasv}tabla m old age.

Eggs served in any, of the ways in; which .they may be cooked, are enjoyed --by most persons, and there is a satisfaction in knowing that when eating eggs an appreciable con- tribution to the needs of the body is made. Eggs resemble meat and pou- try in composition, as all of these foods contain a percentage of the .tis- sue building substances - proteins, and considerable fat. The -yolk of eggs is rich inns iron. Eggs also contain other essential minerals, and vitamins.
