Antarctic seas, much hunted for its oil. It sometimes attains
a length of thirty feet, and is remarkable for the
prolongation of the nose of the adult male into an erectile
elastic proboscis, about a foot in length. Another species of
smaller size (M. angustirostris) occurs on the coast of
Lower California, but is now nearly extinct. sea elephantSeal Seal (s[=e]l), n. [OE. sele, AS. seolh; akin to OHG.

the higher latitudes of both hemispheres. There are
numerous species, bearing such popular names as sea
lion, sea leopard, sea bear, or ursine seal,
fur seal, and sea elephant. The bearded seal
(Erignathus barbatus), the hooded seal (Cystophora
crustata), and the ringed seal (Phoca f[oe]tida),
are northern species. See also Eared seal, Harp

fur, and also for their oil, which in some species is
very abundant.

Telephone
Telephone Tel"e*phone, n. [Gr. ? far off + ? sound.] (Physics)
An instrument for reproducing sounds, especially articulate
speech, at a distance.
Note: The ordinary telephone consists essentially of a device
by which currents of electricity, produced by sounds
through the agency of certain mechanical devices and
exactly corresponding in duration and intensity to the
vibrations of the air which attend them, are
transmitted to a distant station, and there, acting on
suitable mechanism, reproduce similar sounds by
repeating the vibrations. The necessary variations in
the electrical currents are usually produced by means
of a microphone attached to a thin diaphragm upon which
the voice acts, and are intensified by means of an
induction coil. In the magnetic telephone, or
magneto-telephone, the diaphragm is of soft iron placed
close to the pole of a magnet upon which is wound a
coil of fine wire, and its vibrations produce
corresponding vibrable currents in the wire by
induction. The mechanical, or string, telephone is a
device in which the voice or sound causes vibrations in
a thin diaphragm, which are directly transmitted along
a wire or string connecting it to a similar diaphragm
at the remote station, thus reproducing the sound. It
does not employ electricity.

Wireless telephoneWireless Wire"less, a.
Having no wire; specif. (Elec.), designating, or pertaining
to, a method of telegraphy, telephony, etc., in which the
messages, etc., are transmitted through space by electric
waves; as, a wireless message.
Wireless telegraphy or telegraph (Elec.), any system of
telegraphy employing no connecting wire or wires between
the transmitting and receiving stations.
Note: Although more or less successful researchers were made
on the subject by Joseph Henry, Hertz, Oliver Lodge,
and others, the first commercially successful system
was that of Guglielmo Marconi, patented in March, 1897.
Marconi employed electric waves of high frequency set
up by an induction coil in an oscillator, these waves
being launched into space through a lofty antenna. The
receiving apparatus consisted of another antenna in
circuit with a coherer and small battery for operating
through a relay the ordinary telegraphic receiver. This
apparatus contains the essential features of all the
systems now in use.
Wireless telephone, an apparatus or contrivance for
wireless telephony.
Wireless telephony, telephony without wires, usually
employing electric waves of high frequency emitted from an
oscillator or generator, as in wireless telegraphy. A
telephone transmitter causes fluctuations in these waves,
it being the fluctuations only which affect the receiver. Wireless telephonyWireless Wire"less, a.
