Blind, Deaf and Dumb Were Enabled
To Hear.
New York, March l6.--By means Of
an invention Of Miller Rees Hutchin
son, young Albanian, who was re
gently decorated by Queen Alexandra

three children, deaf. dumb and blind
have been enabled to hear O pianis,

and Hello" in quavering. childish
treble.
The experiments were made at the
laboratory OF Mr.. Hutchinson and were
witnessed by many persons.
The invention consists, primarily, d
transmitter, an ear piece and small
electric battery. BY means of these
Instruments sound is projected into the
ear In manner to stimulate the audi
tory nerve. The volume of sound has
nothing to do with the action of these
instruments.
The penetrating quality of the cleo.
trio sound wave apparently disregards
the mechanism 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
vain. The little instrument was then
clapped on the lads ear, the current
switched on and Mr.. Hutchinson said
in an ordinary tone, Papa" The youth
worked his fingers rapidly in the sign
language.
He says he can hear something, but
does not know what it u.s." remarked
Professor Van Tassell, who was in
charge of the children. The current
was made stronger. The youths eye.
balls were raised and he smiled. Then
pc tried to repeat the syllable and In
wierd treble cried shrilly, "Pap-pah. .
Noticing that the patient was becom
ing quite excited over his novel expe.
Renee, Mr.. Hutchinson suggested that
one OF the girls be brought into the re.
ception room.
She could not hear sound. no mat

ear piece Of the instrument fastened
to her head and the pianist at the end
OF the room began to play Sousa

Another girl born blind, deaf and
dumb, clapped her hands in ecstacy
when she heard her own voice cry

ward the piano when the musician
stopped playing and the new harmo
