A NEW WONDER.

The Scientific American, of Dec. 22, 1877, contains a notice and an illustration of a machine called The Talking Phonograph, a novel device by which the words a person utters may be reproduced an indefinite number of times, and it matters not how many years after they are spoken. Had it been known and used in the days of Cicero, we might now listen to the very words used by the old Roman orator as he addressed the august senate.
