3. THE SOUND MACHINE

First Published: 1949

Kalusner is a man who has been trying to make a machine who can detect sounds that the human ear cannot perceive. He shows the machine to his doctor, Scott. After the doctor leaves, he tries the machine outside in his garden. His neighbour is cutting roses. When he puts on his headphones and activates the mechanism, he hears a scream, and then another. The screams match the moment his neighbour cuts the roses, and when he asks her to do that, he hears it again. The woman goes inside, thinking that he is beyond peculiar. Then he tries the same with daisies; he squeezes the petals and again he hears some strange screams.

The next morning he takes the machine to a park and using an axe, he hits a tree, and the screams are there. Next, he calls the doctor to come to the park, and he tells him to put on the headphones while he hits the tree. Yet, when he hits the tree, a branch falls and the doctor runs to warn him. Klausner asks the doctor if he heard anything, but Scott says that he only had time to notice the branch falling. Then Klausner asks him to put some iodine on the tree trunk, which Scott thinks is crazy, but he complies, and Klausner asks him to do the same the next day.

I think this is a very original idea, and the inventor is clearly mad.
