TELEPHONING THROUGH THE NECK. 



By use of a recent adaptation of the telephone it is now pos- 

 sible for a man doing rescue work in a mine filled with poisonous 

 gases or smoke to employ the mouth solely for breathing — by the 

 aid of an oxygen helmet or other breathing apparatus — and yet 

 communicate with those above by means of the telephone. The 

 transmitter is fastened against the throat and the play of the 

 vocal organs enables one really to talk through his neck and 

 communicate without difficulty with those on the other end of the 

 wire.
