Show Another Vac for tli Phonograph. Mrs. Abram Altaian, of Buffalo, owns a most ferocious looking bloodhound made of brou.o. Tho animal was purchased from a Boston woman, who had it mado to do service ns a burglur alarm. It is largo, aud iu its diaphragm she had a phonograph set. She then borrowed a neighbor's dog to burl; into the machine to load it. The bark did not oxactly correspond with the appearance of tho big bronze dog, butjshe thought it would frighten burglars, for she said tho dog's bark would be worse than his bite anyway. And so she set up her bruiscu image, with its full sot of phonographic pho-nographic howls and patent insides, and had it counootcd with her room by wires aud electric button, so that when the burg-lars burg-lars made their appearance she could jnst touch the button and the dog. would do the rest. But tho burglars did not come, and when the old lady died the dog burglar alarm, as it was culled, was shipped to this city. Pittsburg Dispatch. |
