There are inventions which are wonder
iul, and which fll US with admiration, and
there are others which bring an immed.
late blessing to the afflicted, and seem to
be gains for humanity. All inventions,
In a certain sense, seem to work miracles
but what tenderer or more beneacent
miracle can there be than making the
blind to see, and the deaf TO hear, and the
dumb to speak. There has been nothing
more interesting In recent announcement
than the account Of the Audiphone, which
was shown 10 some gentlemen In New
York week or two since by Mr.. Richard
5. Rhodes, OF Chicago. Mr.. Rhodes has
been deaf for twenty years, and has tried
every form OF ear-trumpet without avail.
But be had observed that when holding
his watch between his teeth he heard The
ticking distinctly, and il occurred 10 him
that speech could be heard by the same
means.
After experimenting for some time, he
invented the audlphone, which resembles
an ordinary Japanese fan, a square fan,
with the corners rounded, and made OF
vulcanized rubber. The flexible fan part
is adjusted In Ssni.cylindric1A shape BY
chords held in place by wedge in the
handle. The audiphone is pressed against
the eye.teeth. A class Of seven deaf lnutes
from the Washington Heights Asylum
were the subjects Of most Interesting ex.
periments. One girl, born deaf, had
never heard the sound Of her own voice.
She was given q double audiphone, and
endeavored TO make a sound. II was
some time before she succeeded, and then
there came q wailiHg sound, Curlously
contrasted in expression with her bright
and eager face, and she was full Of emotion
at the first hearing oil her own voice, The
mutes were made TO hear singing also !:
but Of course all sound Is meaningless 10
them at present
Glasses will be formed at once, and the
audlphone will be thoroughly tested. Il
holds out promise To the deaf which,
by the experiments already made, Is 90
beneticent that the progress and develop.
ment Of It's use will be Of the greatest gen.
eral interest.

The Reason Why Weat Virginia " Not n

further says that the law for the protection
Of sheep ought to be In operation in that
county. Our mountains and hills are
well adapted Tor sheep raising. BY the
act Of 1875 Of the Legislature Of this State,
the County Court has the power to levy n
tax upon dogs, and II they fall to exercise
the authority 20 eonferred-when peti.

county the question whether 4 tAx shall

be at some general election.
The tax 50 levied to be apportiOned
among those citizens Of the county who
may have sustained loss by the killing Of
or injury OF thelt sheep by dogs. The
said act also provides for the destruction
Of sheep.killing dogs, and provides for
compelling the owners 70 pay for injury
done TO sheep by their dogs.
