    Describes how Thomas A Edison has 'adapted the phonograph to the nursery' by placing 'an exact copy of the real phonograph reduced to one-fourth the size' inside a doll. Once this has been completed he 'will turn his attention to other kinds of phonographic toys, and we may expect [...] menageries noisy with the cries of animals [...] and even little peanut boys who go among the audience and sell pink lemonade'.
