TYPEWRITER FOR THE BLIND.

Professor Frank H. Hall, of the Jack
sonville Qlls.) Institute for the Blind.
has now completed an invention on
which he has been toiling for years-a
typewriter for the blind. Without going
into details, it is enough to say that this
little machine removes at once all the
enormous difficulties the blind have ex-
perienced in writing; that not only can
the production be read by the blind
when the puncturing system is used, but
by the letter system the blind will be
able to prepare manuscript for the press
Yet the machine is quite simple, having
but six keys and weighing but nine
pounds. They can be manufactured in
quantities for seven dollars each, and
the professor has nobly refused to avail
himself of any gains by patent.

OSCAR MOORE. W. NJ. DAVENPORT.

OSCAR MOORE. W. NJ. DAVENPORT.
identified each by his voice. He is a
perfect little encyclopedia of historical
and literary information; can count in
all the languages he has ever heard,
amounting to dozen; can recite very
long poems after hearing them read
once, and detail every fact of any i'm
portance in any history he has once
heard read. He is withal fairly good
singer and has some talent for the piano.
Many tests of his memory have been
made in Boston with astonishing re-
suits.
Another blind person of note is Mr..
William NJ. Davenport, of Leyden.
Franklin county. Mass, who lost his
sight in boyhood. Nevertheless he soon
mastered the details of small farm on
which his parents lived, and starting in
early manhood with no fortune but his
talents he has acquired over $50, He
is one of the best judges of wool in the
state, and by feeling and smell can de-
tect every variation in fiber, grease, dirt
and other peculiarities. This, however.
is not so surprising as his quick judg-
ment on live stock. He does it by "1ay-
ing on of hands" and does it so well that
he is one of the regular judges at all
stock gatherings.
A singular feature of his case is that
his own animals seem, in a dumb brute
way, to realize his misfortune. He has
bought and handled as many as 500 cat
tie in a year, feeds and waters those on
his farm himself, goes in and out among
them equally by day or night and has
never once been kicked or bitten. Re-
Gently he led vicious bull. which others
were afraid of, six miles. He is a very
prominent man in county affairs, is in
Greenfield every Saturday and can walk
or ride the nine miles to his home with
ease and certainty. His wife usually
draws and signs papers for him, and his
four children read a great deal to him,
as he takes fifteen papers and magazines.
Despite the compensations of nature
and the labors of philanthropy this is a
hard world for the blind, and though
ingenious men have sought out many
inventions TO aid them much remains to
be done. The development of Laura
Bridgeman by DIR. Samuel G.. Howe was
certainly the greatest achievement in
physico-psychology this world has ever
known. She was deaf, dumb and blind,
had no sense Of smell and an imperfect
taste, yet DR.. Howe discovered a way to
reach her mind and found it good one.
The account of how he taught her to
tell what she thought and felt is the
very romance of humanitarian science.

LEGISLATIVE NOMINEES
IMPROVEMENT OF THE NooKsACK

Many persons in this city who are
deeply interested in the proposed i'm
provement of the Nooksack river were
very anxious to meet IT. w. Symons,
OF Portland, captain of the United
states engineers who had been ex-
peeted to arrive here this week, osten-
sibly for consultation in reference TO
the advisability of changing the course
OF the river in to the alleged former
channel by which it would empty into
the Gulf Of Georgia. The captain ar
rived at Whatcom Tuesday, and so care
fully was he guarded by the interested
parties OF that city that il was not until
after his departure for home on the
train yesterday that it was known here
that he had been on the Bay. Not a
single person in this city interested in
the work saw him or knew of his pres
ence.
The proposed improvement does
not meet with approval here. One
great advantage that Bellingham Bay
enjoys at present is the immunity of
Improvements in its waters from the
ravages of the teredo. The Great
Northern Railway company was COM
PEELED to renew the piles in its trestle
on the Seattle water front in a wear
after they were driven on account of
the destructive ravages of this pest. A
recent examination of the piles in this
company's improvements on our water
'front.', driven over three years ago, dis
closed the fact that they were perfectly
sound. The piles in the foundation of
the Bellingham mill, which have been
in the water a much longer period, are
also perfectly sound. The expense of
keeping in repair wharves and other
improvements in localities infested by
the teredo is enormous, and the advan-
tage enjoyed by harbor like ours,
where the teredo does not work, is con-
siderable. The Improvement" con-
tempiated would destroy this advan-
tage, as 1t is dependent upon the
volume of fresh water coming into the
bay from the Nooksack. There are
many other considerations that could
be urged against the proposition, but
this alone is a sufficient reason for let
ting the river remain in its present
channel.

The man who has all the responsibility
for the success or failure Of the G. A. r.
encampment, so far as any one can be
responsible for an undertaking of such
magnitude, is John Joy Edison. MIR
Edison is still young man, and it is
not very many years since he was
sweeping out store for three dollars a
week. Today he is one of the substan-
tial business men of Washington. He
Is at the head of a number of big enter
prises, and it was the executive ability
displayed in the management of these
that led to his selection as chairman of
the executive committee of the encamp-
ment. Mr.. Edison has good war rec
ord, and is a stanch G. A. r. man.

THEIR PHYSICAL MISFORTUNE,

Sightless Lad from the Sonth who
Has Wonderful Memory-Great Sue
cess of am Afflicted Farmer-A Type
writer of Value.
The achievements of the blind are ar
unfailing source of wonder to those who
ran see, and the latest prodigy among
those unfortunates is Oscar Moore, q
six-year-old coIored boy of Waco, Tex.
His memory is not simply phenomenal;
it is what many people would call
marvellous. He has never been known
to forget name after hearing it once
or to fail of recognizing a voice. 1t is
well known fact that loss of sight sharp
ems the other senses, especially hearing,
but it has not been supposed to greatly
strengthen the memory.
Oscars memory was first noticed by
his parents when he was but thirteen
months old, and he soon became Won
der in Texas. He was recently taken to
Boston. When introduced to a large
company he remembered the name of
every one at their next meeting and

Along the famous Coney Island coast
near New York the sea and sands have
been playing FRANKS with the shore not
at all to the interests of the proprietors
OF the resorts there. At the eastern end
of the island the waves cut into the
shore and wash it away, annually get
ting nearer the great hotels and threat
ening to wash them away too. To stop
the inroads of the ocean an experiment
will be made with what is called she'd
ding. Three lines of heavy piles have
been driven along about 300 feet of the
coast line and covering of boards fas-
tened upon them, forming shedding.
The shed toward the ocean side is level
with low water mark. From this edge
1T slopes upward toward the inner or
shore side about three feet. 1t is expected
that the water will wash over the she'd
ding in storms and during high tide and
deposit heavy layers of sand inside. The
ground will thus begin to form anew
and the shore will build out instead If
eating in. AT least that is the result
hoped for, and the experiment will he
watched with interest.

The thanks of the property owners of
the city are due to Councilman Dono-
van for letting the big Seventeenth
street sewer cat out of the bag. The
size of the snap that the contractor and
company would have had If their
scheme had not been frustrated may be
partially realized by considering that
according to the engineers estimate
there would be at least three hundred
cubic yards of rock to be removed at a
cost Of SIS per cubic yard, and further,
that when all hope of skinning the
city to that extent had fed the con-
tractor voluntarily offered to waive his
claim under the Sixteenth street esti-
mate and do the work for s. per yard.
How fortunate it is sometimes that
'the best laid schemes of mice aud men
gang aft aglae."
