Of fine granite was discovered on the other

ington and Monroe streets, and that pave
ment be laid on Fillmore street between
Pleasant place and Jefferson street.
Mr.. Hacker says the applicant probably
refers to the sidewalk on the north side of
Washington street, as the south walk is six
feet wide without Instructions. He says
the north walk is nine feet wide in front
Of the church property, and from there west
the walk is set back to the building line
and reduced to six feet. 1t is stated there
are two projections, neither of which can
be reduced without lowering the houses
which they serve. Continuing, Mr.. Hacker
declares it is not believed to be best to
sacrifice the trees on this street in order to
set the sidewalk out to the line Of that in
front of the church. He recommends that
the applicant be informed in accordance
with the above. and that he be advised that
the catch basins to which he refers have
been ordered. Mr.. Hacker does not ap-
prove Of q pavement on the west side of

the letters. When one line is finished-that
is, when he reaches the end of the frame
he moves the paper and begins another line,
and SO on, Indefinitely.
Since the characters must be read on the
opposite side from the one on which they
are formed, the writing must be from right
to left. The blind must learn two alpha
bets-one for the formation of letters from
the wrong side and one for reading them
from the right. AS the sheet of paper is
fastened to the frame, it must be removed
to correct a mistake.
"A new invention permits the blind writer
to write as he reads-from left to right.
He can thus correct as he writes, without
displacing the paper. He has but one al
phabet to learn, which he can acquire in
six lessons.

Consul Atwen Describes a French In

United States Consul W. p Atwell at

the State Department regarding the French
writing system for the blind:
In 1879 the Braille machine made read
ing possible to the blind. This machine is
composed of metal frame with movable
copper reglet. which slides across the
frame. This reglet is pierced at regular in
tervals by little holes in squares of six;
there are twentyfour squares on the reg
let and each. square is susceptible of form
ing a letter
In order to write, thick sheet of paper
is placed on the frame between the reglet
and a sheet of zinc, on which are depres-
sions corresponding to the little holes in
the reglet The writer uses the left hand as
a guide and, with pointed instrument that
he passes into the holes of the reglet, forms
depressions in the paper that appear In re-
