We lire In the Electric Age. We are close to the secrete of Infinityâ€" the secrets of life, of existence, of power! We have not quite arrived, but we can manipulate electricity, transmit- ting power to the piano by conscious Intelligence. The Tel-Electric Piano- player plays automatically by the pushing of a little lever. But "auto- matic" isn't the word, because the Tel* Electric plays the piece as a great ar- tist would play it^ as I have heard Paderewski play it,; It la no mechani- cal effect; no tin-pan amash, dash, straight off the reel, it Is played with reeling, with modulation. It Is being "interpreted." • • But if you wish to give the piece more accent, simply press another lit- tle lever, and you soften, subdue or emphasise at will. Slower, faster, al- ways and forever there la an instant response. You accelerate, you retard, you pause. • • There Is no squeaking of the bel- lows; no strenuous pumping and push- ing; no getting red in the face; no awkward, ungainly positionâ€"an atti- tude that distracts the listeners from the sweet melody of the music to the athletic industry of the performer. Well do I remember our old-time Ma- son * Hamlin-organ on the farm, and how the girls used to work it with their dainty tootsies. It was all right In its day. We were laborers, hewers of wood and drawers of water, and It was well that as we produced music brute force should play a big pari In the demonstration. * • The pedals, the bellows, the pumps, the gyrations of feet, legs and shouldersâ€"ail that belongs to a day that Is past.

The children can not get hold of it and destroy it The damp does not affect it. When you get a piece of Tel-Electric musk, it is yours for a lifetime. The whole Tel-Electrlc idea Is found- ed on the very latest adaptations of electric and musical science. We H«e» in the Electric Age. We are laying hold on the secrets of Infinity. We are perceiving the unseen. We are utilising this great and unknown ele- ment of electricityâ€"the very secret of the gods on High Olympus. In its presence we are reverential. We' deign It a privilege to avail ourselves of each invention which the cunning genius of man has wrought. It is the Age of Electricity. What the next step will be no man can say. But while we are waiting for It, let us enjoy-^he sweet- est musle of the Masters as played by the great Virtuosi, modified by our own taste, with the help of the Tel- Electric. If perchance you are not ac- quainted with: this exquisite device, then breathe a prayer of gratitude to me for having called your attention to it, and write for literature which will gladly be sent gratis.

And the professor replied, "What a pity that the only man who ever lived who knew what electricity Is has forgotten." Thomas A. Edison has recently said,' "Electricity is not power; electricity •1b a method for transporting power." * * Ernst Haeckel has said, "There is only one thing in the world, and that la, energy- Energy takes a myriad million forms, and the method of trans- mission from one form to another, when we finally understand It, will he discovered to be electric." "Wheh we know the secret of elec- tricity, we will know the secret of life," says Doctor Steinmets. . "Electricity occupies the twilight rone between the spiritual and the ma- terial," says Lord Kelvin. "God Is the Great Electrician; we are born, cry, dance, live, play, work, toll, enjoy, su£ tier, love," die, as He touchesrtfce elec- tric keys." I have made a great discovery. I find that I can play the piano with the aid of electricity. Not only that, but I can sit in my den, surrounded by my books, papers, manuscripts, and I can jplay the Steinway in the adjoin- ing room. I have a device tint plays: automatically, by the touching of a key with my finger-tips. I can stop BIX convent* up- Wilmette. £*f+tbe^laWi playing by the swme And then if I want to modulate the music, giving it my own expressionâ€" that Is, my own interpretationâ€"I manipulate a few little buttons, and behold, the piano responds Instantly to my thought, if i desire § certain effect, I can produce it at^sviU, reclin- ing, the time being, In my Morris chair. To enjoy music, you. must not be too close to it. The man who plays In a band does not hear the symphonjr. He is a laborer, earning hie daily bread by able-bodied effort. 1 am familiar with all sorts of play- er-pianos and piano-players, and from them I have received much fair. Through their help and benefit, I have gotten acquainted, in degree, with the work of the great masters. I am grate- ful for these clever inventions where- by I can play a piano by pedaling h> dustriousiy with both feet And these things have led me up to a pofhf where I have made this wonderful db> ^overy. It came to me witfrlTiniaY thrill of surprise and delightr-ihat I could attach a little electric device (which rests now on my table, within reach of mf finger-tips) to the Stein- way In the Roycroft mosi^room. More than that, we have a doss» pfsnos around the Koycroft Shop, and swreral of them have been fitted up so e* to attach the Tel-Electric Pleyess I car- ry the TelBlaoWc Player arMtnd from esse room to - another, or s^rasa the/ street, or ep to the chattel areenad the hiw j corner, i^ th«e 1 pky f«th»gWs and boys, or they ptey Jv^gjsa^ sn> â- Xe4s>eW';J^sips)IV':sEafg^- '& ffMr^v; ^(^saw hour. 'Then came the high-wheel bicycle that you pedaled and gained thereby a fine development of calf. Then came the motorcycle. Now we have the au- tomobile, six cylinders, with electric starter. Then we have the luxurious noiseless Electric. And so it is that the Tel-Electric Piano-Player is here to stay. It fills a want, .It cornea in answer t*:*jgrejit desire, and no one who owns a Tel- Electric Plano-Player can ever think thereafter of putting his feet under a piano, and agitating by human muscle a bellows In order to produce sweet sounds. The piano traces a pedigree to the hunter's bow, which some savage, in long centuries agone, snapped, and be- hold, the string sang! And other men twanged their bows, and behold, no two strings gave off exactly the same sound. And lol*at evening by the campfire, some savage genius put two strings, or three on a bow, and strummed them with his fingers. And then the harp was madeâ€"the harp with which David soothed the soul of Saul. And then somebody put a harp In a box and arranged keys that you struck with yonr fingers, and these keys, on being struck, liberated little hammers that ^Bew up and hit the strings of the harp; and they called the Instrument a "Harpsichord." And then we 1wt the Clavichord. Then ; and then the grand piano, which is only an immense harp, played with a mechanical de- vice. Then we have the upright piano. Then the pneumatic player-piano, played by bellows attachment, a sort of cross between the pipeorgan and the piano. And now, behold the mar- velous and miraculous Tel-Blectrlc The word "tol" means "front a dis- tance." The words "telegraph," "tele- Phbne" and "telepathy*' trace to the same common root And so with the aid of the Tel-Elec- tric Plano-Player you play from a dis- tance, if desired; or right by the. piano' if you prefer; or in front of It, if you .wfsh.'" The Tel-Electric is a oeantlful little apparatus, enclosed in a mahogany box, so amaU, so dainty, so responsive, so exquisite, and yet so strong, so dur- able, so simple, so effective, that you can not but remove your hat to revss> ence at the thought of the brain of a man who could conceive such a power- ful and effective instrument and put tt Into such small snaee. and such axnui- site forfflv ^^^^M^MM^Mi'V'1', The t^Efe<!tric can be attached to any piano.
