BOSTON'S BLIND ARCHITECT.

He Is Also a Printer. and Has De-
signed a Number of Buildings.
The architect who designed the plans
for the library and natural history
building, the Howe building, and a
number of tenements belonging to the
Perkins Institution, and the Massachu-
sets School for the Blind, Boston, is
himself pupil of the school and to-
tally blind. He also designed the
plans for the kindergarten for the
blind. His name is Dennis Reardon.
Mr.. Reardon saw as well as any one
till he was 8 years of age. Then his
sight failed partially. He attended
the school and recovered it in meas
ure, but, when 20 years of age, he lost
it entirely. He is now a middle-aged
man, pleasant faced, singularly
pleasing manner and an interesting,
Well-informed conversationalist
"First 1 get the idea of what l want
in my head" he said, speaking of his
work to Boston Post reporter.
''Then draw the plan in raised lines
do not get the correct measurement,
hut the plan l have assists me in ex-
planning to a draughtsman. l give him
the figures and then he draws the plan
with the correct measurements"
He showed the reporter a plan for
tenement houses. Running his finger
lightly over the raised lines, he ex-
planned where the bay window was,
how far it was to project, the folding
doors, closets. Sometimes, instead Of
raised lines, he uses pins and string
in pin cushion. He says he does not
read as rapidly as those who have been
educated to it from childhood. Adults
seldom grow so proficient as children
who have grown up in the school. Mr.
Reardon is also foreman in the print
ing room which furnishes all the books
and reading material for the blind in
the institution and also the books con-
tanned in the public library in Boston,
Fall River, Providence, Portland, and
many other New England cities. The
only charges made are those for trans
portation. Their large printing bust
ness has outgrown their room and an
addition is needed very badly. They
are trying to save enough to enlarge
their quarters, and no doubt, with
little aid from the friends of the inst1-
tuition, it could soon be accomplished.
His next work will be the plan for the
annex.

A vENOM-SPITTING REPTILE.
The Deadly Cobra Equipped to Do
Battle at Long Range.

Battle at Long Range.
G. r. O'Reilly writes some very in
teresting facts about the cobra, the
deadliest of all snakes. He asserts
that it is able to squirt it's venom from
face. So nervous is the cobra that it
will strike at a moving object before
it has come within it's reach. 1t is very
wasteful of it's venom
Mr.. O'Reilly was first convinced of
the venom-spitting habit of the cobra
by this incident: "One day, being
alone in the bush, I saw cobra band
ed with black and white. He was in
an open glade, gliding through the
heritage, delaying little perhaps for
an opportunity to get at some birds
that were chattering and hopping
about on the branches of a thorny,
yellow-blossOmed acacia. The sun was
blazing down fiercely on him, as, with
-distended hood held close to the
ground, he slowly passed through the
leaves and flowers. For few minutes
I watched his movements through my
binocular glass; but fearing he might
notice me and escape in some hole, l
picked up my six-foot hunting stick
and rushed toward him, intending 10
press his head to the ground with it,
and then take him by the neck with
my hand. He saw me coming, and
like valiant warrior that knew his
power he faced around and stood erect
with expanded hood and quivering
tongue ready to receive me. His bright
black eyes sparkled with energetic de-

The displacement of manual labor
by machinery is rapidly becoming
more intensely interesting as factor
of Importance in the present and
prospective conditions Of labor, says
the Age of Steel. This is the more
so, as the genius of invention broad
ems its scope and is leaving no sphere
of labor, however obscure, beyond its
reach and ambition. In but few
decades it has practically revolution
lied both the methods and capacity
of production, and bids fair in the
near future to outstrip even its pres
emit pace. 1t has worked rapid
changes in the iron and steel indus
tries from the making of nails to the
production of steel plates. In. the
foundry and the mine, the factory
and the printing establishment, and
in every trade and avocation, the Ia
bor-saving machine is replacing
much Of manual labor, and in some
instances has practically extin-
guished some forms Of industry. In
speaking Of the displacement of la
Dor it has been said that 1.-The equiv
alent of one mans work for one year
by the aid Of machinery, divided be-
tween the iron mine, the coal mine
and the iron furnace, suffices for the
supply of 200 pounds per head to 500
persons" By the same mechanical
aid, zone operator in cotton fac
tory makes cloth for ESQ; in a wool
en- factory for 800; and one modern
worker in a boot and shoe factory
furnishes 1000 persons with all the
boots and shoes they require in
twelve months" It is said that ten
years ago in Great Britain "the
work of fifty men in the manufacture
of coke is now done by ten men
and two boys, and where five men
were employed at the top of coal
pit for every 100 tons Of coal raised,
the same work was now done by two
men," Now, while there is no get
ting away from these facts, it is only
in their relation to others that the
situation can be rightly understood.
No one denies that in many instances
the immediate results of rapid dis
placement of labor involves much of
personal privation and hardship, but
in the matter Of general and event
ual good it is equally as certain that
the total of results is in favor of the
machines. The question really is,
not the menace of machinery to hui
man labor, but the best method of
distributing it's earnings. 1t is true
that competition is forcing the labor
saving machine, and it is also true
that strikes are compelling many
employers to increase their machin-
cry where otherwise they would not,
but it is just as certain that in the

fore the next meeting of the common

The meeting of the Tenth District
Typographical union at Grand Forks
last month appears ia have given quite
an impetus to trade organization, for
a movement is now on foot in that
city to organize all branches of work
men not already enjoying the advan-
tages of united action. Circulars have
been sent out to the Twin City unions
asking their cooperation in the move
ment, which will no doubt be heartily
extended. In fact, the horseshoers
have already decided to send an or
ganizer up to get the members of their
trade together.
The boilermakers of the Great

I TIL horSeShoerS contemplate a joint
picnic with the bosses at an early
date. The plan is for the bosses and
workmen of st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Saltwater to agree upon a point reach
ed by rail from each of the centers
mentioned, and unite in a days outing,
a feature of which will be competitive
games between the bosses and
journeymen. Committees are now at
work on the matter. At their meet
ing Friday evening the horseshoers
decided to adopt a silver button to be
worn by all members as a symbol of
unionism. While at Duluth J. w.

shoers' union to the state federation,
started a movement toward organizing
the horseshoers of the Zenith city AS
result a union was organized dur
ing the past week with quite a large
membership.

The web press helpers held their
second meeting during the past week
and further perfected plans toward
a pertinent organization. All the
helpers in the city are in the move
ment, and its success is assured. The
organization of the helpers will very
probably be followed by the organiiza-
ton of another union very closely
allied to their branch of work.
It has been suggested that were the
organizers of the state federation,
American federation and others of the
various unions in the Twin Cities to
concentrate their united efforts upon a
stated locality and bend their energies
toward organizing every line of work
men therein that good results would
follow such action. There are num-
Der of towns in this state, the Dakotas
and Wisconsin in which good results
could reasonably be expected, and no
doubt would be achieved. The plan is
respectfully submitted to the ener-
getic organizers of the various unions
in the Twin Cities.
