District National Guard Comma Ter
submits Query.

General George H. Harries commanding
the District militia, is DESTROYS of learning
whether the National Guard of the Dis
trict can purchase coal out of the appro-
priation for cleaning and repairing uni
forms. arms and equipments and contin-
gent expenses" under the head of militia
Of the District of Columbia" He has,
therefore. requested the Commissioners to
ask for an expression of opinion from the
controller of the treasury upon the ques-
ton.
The reasons which prompted General
Harries to make the request are as follows:
The commanding officer of the Naval Bat
TALON of the District National Guard has
submitted a requisition for fifteen tons of
coal for use on board the United States
steamer Fern, and has informed the gem
eral that the coal supply is nearly ex-
hausted further stating that in order to
properly care for the ship and the large
amount Of government property stored
thereon it is absolutely necessary that his
requisitiOn be hOnored at once. The allot-
ment to the Naval Battalion out of the ap-
priation for rent, fuel, light, care and re-
pair of ships having been exhausted, Gen
eral Harries is unable at the present time
to devise the ways and means necessary to
overcome the difficulty.
1t is understood that the Commissioners
will request the controller to give the de-
sired opinion.

Interesting Experiments Which Have
Been Recently Held In France.
Interesting experiments with what is
known as 1.-The Cinematograph for the
Blind held in France have been reported
to the State Department by United States
Consul Atweil at Roubaix. This device is
a machine which passes under the fingers
of the blind, a series of refiefs represent
Ing the same object in varying positions,
and gives the blind person the Illusion Of
moving scenes just as photographs moving
over a luminous screetf lend the impression
Of actual motion to those with sight The
branch of a tree in motion. bird in it's
flight and various other, bits Of the life
they cannot see, are presented to the minds
Of the sightless through their finger tips.
DIR. Dussaud of the Psychological Insti-
tute of Paris, the inventor of the machine,
conducted the experiments5at the Hospital
des Societies Savantes- HE has also in
vented another device for the education of
the deaf. He has arranged an electric vi
bration for the use of the incurable or
'stone deaf" which gives them the i'm
preston Of musical rhythm. For those not
entirely deaf DR.. D,issaud has invented a
gradual ampiifier Of Sounds which sup
plement the organs CT hearing and is said
in some instances to improve them. Con-
sui Atwell states that these devices are
shown to have materially aided these two
classes Of unfortunates.
