ALARM CLOCK LIFTS PILLOW.
Unique Mechanism ContrIved for the
Convenience of People Deaf
and Dumb.

w. E. Shaw, Of Brookline, Mass, gave
an electrical party" recently, the fea-
ture of which was the exhibition of an
electric clock for blind deaf mutes. Mr..
Shaw is deaf and dumb and he was as
sisted in demonstrating the workings OF
his invention by Tommy Stringer, blind,
deaf and dumb. who is making great
progress in the sciences.
The clock not only tells the time, but
alarms the sleeper by agitating a lever
which is connected by a string to pill
low, causing the pillow to move up and
down, the vibrations being communicat-
ed to the sleeper BY a touch. A circuit
is closed. by which an electric current is
sent through a small incandescent lamp
In front Of parabolic mirror. the rays
y which are thrown into the face of the
sleeper. 1t releases a spring connected
with hammer. which falls upon full
minating cap, the loud explosion OF
which at close quarters is perceptible to
a deaf person.
II also gives notice Of the entrance OF
by any of the above methods,
by means Of connection by wire with
he doors and windows It gives indi-
cation of fire by electric thermostats
placed anywhere on the premises.

PELLET in HIS EYE.
Psuient Probably didn't Know 1t

II out.

( William Akey, who lives at VIII
Jamestown Station. Mass, had a shot
removed fFom one OF his eyes by DR..
]. b Hall. after it had been there
for more than three years. The pellet
was removed without much trouble or
pain. and the sight has not been in
jured in the least
The boy is seven years old. and the
shot entered his eye when he was four
lie complained a little when he re-
ceiyed the injury but his parents knew
nothing of the accident then. and so
nothing was done about it. A small
air rifle was the cause. the boy hav-
ing been engaged at play with two
others when the stray shot struck him.
II panied for the instant, but the eye
soon became normal in appearance.
1t was not until recently that it was
found there vas something in it. DR..
Hull was consulted. and he soon found
the shot under the eyelid, quite Sc
curely lodged. as the membrane had
grown about it, The physician says
he does not believe the boy knew the
shot was in his eye. for. if it had
pained him, he does not think William
could have stood it uncomplainingly
for three years.

BLIND BUT KEEN.
Career of Pennsylvania shows His
Amiction Did Not Lessen His
Business Ability.

Francis B. Kaufman, aged Al, one
of the most expert blind business men
in eastern Pennsylvania, has just died
at his home at Leesport, Pa.
He lost his sight 20 years ago in a
stone quarry explosion. Then he
went into the lime-burning and cattle
business.
AS cattle buyer he had no superior.
In buying oxen he ran his hands over
the animals and with remarkable dex-
terity and good judgment could select
rs head from big drove and secure
some Of the very best in the lot.
When out on a collecting tour he
frequently brought in very large sums
OF money Each batch OF money he
collected he kept separate. To his
partner at home he handed the re-
ceipts, batch by batch, and asked how
much was in that package
When told the amount he would
promptly say: 'Mr. - paid that"
or THAT is from Mr.. -" He was
always correct. He could make change
in silver coins. but necessarily for
the paper money denominations he
had to rely on the statements made by
his customers.
He knew lime by the feel Of it, and
was as successful at that branch Of
his business as at cattle buying
