A CoLORED GEORGIA PRODIGY
A Deaf Mute Who Hears through His
Shoulder.
Chicago Times.

Chicago Times.
"Are you really deaf end
duInb?"
This was the question address
ed by Times reporter yesterday
to dwafish looking negro boy who
was leaning against brick wall
on market street. He is small,
thick set and coal black. has
large, wide, open eyes, but his
features have the dull, stolid look
SO commonly seen in mutes. AS
the reporter spoke, he noticed that
the colored boy wss eyeing him
very carefully, and when he finish
ed the boy opened his note book
and wrote in a scrawling hand;
Eyes"
"Can you tell by the movement
Of my lips what l am saying?"
He nodded afirmatively.
"Who will testify that you are
deaf and dumb?"
He turned to gentleman from
Boyce Station, who explained to
the report T that the colorod boy
was named Henry Bell; his age 23:
he was born at Cave Springs, Ga,
and could never hear or speak.
For several years he has been en-
ployed by Capt. Taylor, at Boyce
Station, and he knows positively
that he is a genuine mute.
Now for the strange part Of the
story:
The reporter placed his finger
tips very lightly on the boys
shoulder. He wore a heavy coat,
and the touch was 50 light, that
the heavy folds We're not depress-
ed, The boy turned his head SO
he could hot see the reporter, and
the latter said, almostin a whis-
per;
DO you know what 7 am say
ing now?'
Henry wrote in his book,
''Yos."
"How old are you and where
were you born?" Henry's head
still being turned.
He wrote, MY name is Henry
Bell. 7 was born at Cave Springs,
Georgia, and am twenty-threa
years old. 1 know anything you
say by the feeling in my shoul-
der" A long conversation was
thus carried on, and he understood
every word.
DR.. Holtzclaw, who Witnessed
the test, also conyersed with the
boy in the same manner, and ex-
plains his strange senses as fol-
lows: CAS- all mutes his remain
ing senses especially that Of touch,
are very acute. When you speak,
the vibration of your vocal cords
are transmitted Of your muscular
tissues, and when you place your
fingers on his shoulder the yibra-
tions are transmitted to him
through the tips, His sense Of
feeling is so acute this vibration
acts on his shoulder just as sound
waves act on the drum Of the ear
and he virtually hears through
his shoulder. Instances Of blind
mutes interpreting speech by
placing their fingers on the mus
cells Of the throat are frequent,
but an instance like this is very
rare"
Henry wrote that he has been
practicing many years at this mode
of Interpreting speech. His fa-
cility in lip reading is also Won
dorful. BY looking at one care
fully while they speak he knows
every word That is nttered.
