DEAF CAN HEAR,
DUMB CAN SPEAK
Wonderful Invention Of An
Alabama Man Tested.
WAS DECORATED BY ROYALTY.
Believed that the Invention Also en-
ables Blind To see-Mutes Utter
Words and the Deaf Are Delighted
by Sousa Marches.

New York, March 14.-By means OF
an invention Of Miller Reese Hutch
ison. young Albanian, who was
recently decorated by Queen Alexan-
dra for his efforts in behalf Of the
deaf, three children, deaf. dumb and
blind, have been enabled to hear a
pianist play Sousa marches, q phone-
graph repeat the sounds and the
sounds of their own voices uttering
the words mamma. papa" and "hel-
10, in quavering childish treble.
The experiments were made at the
laboratory of AIr. Hutchinson and were
witnessed by many persons.
The invention consists, primarily
Of transmitter, an ear piece and a
small electric battery. By means of
these instruments sound is projected
into the ear in a manner to stimulate
the auditory nerve. The volume of
sound has nothing to do with the &C
ton Of these Instruments The pen
strating quality Of the electric sound
wave apparently disregards the mech
anism Of the outer ear and affects
the inner ear direct.
The first patient brought out to try
the effects Of the invention was Orris
Benson. who is blind. deaf and dumb.
A physician tried to make him hear
IN various ways, but all his efforts
were in vain. The little instrument
was then clapped 10 the lads ear. the
current switched OF. and Mr.. Hutchi-
son said in an ordinary conversational
tone papa" The youth worked his
fingers rapidly in the sign language.
He says he can hear something, but
doesn't know what it is remarked
Professor Yantassell. who was in
charge Of the children. The cur
rent was made stronger. The youths
eyeballs were raised and he smiled.
Then he tried 10 repeat the sylIables
and in weird treble cried shriIly
'pah-pah" Noticing that the pa
tient was becoming quite excited over
his novel experience. Mr.. Hutchison
suggested that one Of the girls be
brought into the reception room. A
girl Is years old who had lost sight
and hearing through exposure a dozen
years ago, was led into the room.
She could not hear a sound. no mat
ter how loud, right against her ear.
but when she had the ear piese of the
instrument fastened to her head and
the pianist at the end Of the room
began to play a Sousa march. her
cheeks flushed and her fingers beat
time on a table.
Another girl. born blind, deaf and
dumb claDped her hands in ecstacy
when she heard her own voice say
mamma" " and reached out wdstfulIy
toward the piano when the musician
stopped playing and the new harmo-
MES died out Of her ear. but fingered
in her memory.

UNCHANGED at Memphis,

Memphis, Tenn. March 1.-THE
flood situation remains practically un.
changed from yesterday. The river
is rising steadily, the gauge at noon
marking 36.8 feet. AS the great
strain on the levees continues. the
fears of those dependent upon them
for safety naturally increase. So far
none Of the big embankments have
given away, although grave fears are
expressed concerning the safety of a
few At Ashland, near Natchez, the
breach in the private Ievee is widen
ing, and a vast area is under water.
Special warning bulletins have been

and captains Of steamers requesting
them to run under slow steam and to
remain away as far as possible from
certain points, which are subjected
to the greatest strain.
Reports from Caruthersville. Mo.
north Of here, state that the Ievee
is holding and there is no immediate
danger.

der that no one will be allowed on or

stream. Hundreds Of laborers contin-
ue to pile sacks along the river front
and every preparati$ is being made

heyed here that a break higher up the
river cannot long be avoided. That
would naturally have the effect Of de-
