1xpewriters for the Blind.

Many inventions have been made to
bridge the distance between those
who have their sight and those. who
have not But none has been more
practical ard successful than the pro-
duction of a typewriter which can be
manipulated by the blind. The let
hers on the keys are raised, and the
sensitive touch of the blind man can
tell the character on a key as soon as
he touches it. The ringing of the bell
when the margin is reached works as
well for him as for the man with
sight. and the sense of touch makes
the manipulation of the various keys
for setting the paper a comparatively
simple matter-New York Herald.

DustIess Roads of France.

The engineer for the Seine and Ma
rine departments in France reports
that trials of a mixture of oil and
petroleum as a dust preventive have
been unsuccessful. In the summer Of
1902 a coating of tar was tried on
seven different lengths of road. After
careful investigation during a period
of twelve months, it was found that
dust and mud had wholly disappear
ed and the cost of maintenance had
been reduced The tar forms an elias
tic skin, which deadens the sound of
traffic and reduces the resistance. 1t
appears that the tarring method in
wolves no greater outlay than that for
coating with oil.

of the Rev. ]. B. G. Pidge, who celebra-
ted his twenty-fifth year as pastor of
the Fourth Baptist church on Tues
day night, told a story about a clergy
man who possessed the unhappy fac
ulty of preaching a long and weari-
some sermon.
During one of these tiresome ser
MONS" said the mayor, ''the minis
ter suddenly looked up and behe1d a
small boy in the gallery throwing
chestnuts at the worshippers in the
auditorium. He was about to rebuke
the sacrilegious youngster when that
worthy anticipated what was to come
by shouting out:

with your preaching. I'll keep 'em

Cr;stofori, Retainer OF the Quke OF
Tuscany, Made the First.
1t was a harpsichord maker, Cristo-
fori, in the employ of the Duke of Tus-
cany. who in I'LL made the first sue
cessful piano. As curator of Ferdi-
nand de Medici he had splendid col
lection of Belgian, French, and Italian
instruments to look after, and this I'M
doubtedly aided him, though the model
was SO crude that the inventor could
never have dreamed monument
would ever be erected in his memory
There are only two grand pianofortes
of Cristofori in existence, says writ
er in the Housekeeper. One decorat-
ed in gold and Chinese figures is in
Florence, and the other is in the Cros-
by-Brown collection in the New York
Art Metropolitan Museum Three
documents attest the authenticity OF
this last instrument, which was pur-
chased from Signor Diego Martelli.
From this feeble beginning comes a
long list of names of men who helped
perfect the piano. But factories alone
could never have achieved without
royalty to encourage and virtuosi to
play. Frederick the Great ordered
five pianos for his palace, where they
can be seen at the present day.
Marie Antoinette was patron of the
art, and Clement in England and Mo
Fart in Germany introduced the instru-
ment SO it became a part OF life. 1t
was in Pleyel's concert room that
Chopin played, and our. later firms
have brought out long list of artists,

Jewels of the Sultan.

A correspondent writing from Con-
stantinople to a Paris journal claims,
as the result of personal inspection,
to give details of the collection OF
Jewels in the sultan's treasury. The
turbans of all the sultans since Ma
homet II. are there, all glittering with
large gems of the purest water. There
are also the royal throne of Persia,
carried off by the Turks in 1914. and
covered with more than 10000 rubies,
emeraIds and fine pearls, and also the
throne of Suleiman l., from the dome
of which there hangs over the head OF
the caliph an emerald six incres long
and four inches deep. These two
thrones are the chief objects of the
collection.

of the Pineapple.
Pima" gauze, made by women OF
the Philippines from pineapple spikes
alone, is as delicate as chiffon and far
more durable. They use only the best
leaves and these, tied into bundles,
are placed under heavy stones IN the
bed of a running stream. After two
or three days of this treatment they
are exposed for a time to the action
of sun and and air. Each piece is
closely inspected to make sure that
the process of decomposition was
thorough, and if it was not the leaves
are subjected a second time to the
operation. The fibrous threads are at
last wholly separate from the cellu-
lose and lignose particles and cleaned
from the sap and gummy substance
The whole is then beaten with a wood
en- mallet, grooved on the faces like
futing machine. The threads are
kept moist while this beating is in
progress and the separate threads are
thus blended into one mass. In color
the ibers vary from cream and light
gray to pure white. After the pine
apple cloth is finished figures are
stamped on it with blocks and after
ward worked or embroidered by hand.

panions are the three young sons of

he plays games with them, such as
parchesi and dominoes, at which Mr..
Rockefeller invariably wins.
The eldest of the boys-he is about
12-was asked by his father not long
ago why it was their host always
came off victorious.

gets cross if we beat him, so we just

Lono Confined as Leper.

A remarkable story which has late
ly attracted great sympathy in Cape
Colony, is that of man named Apros-
kie, who, after having been confined
on Robben Island for eight years as
a person suspected of having leprosy,
was recently allowed to return to his
family as non-aff1icted- He was for
merly a shipwrecked sailor who took
a farm at the Cape, married and pros
pered exceedingly. Mosquito bites
were mistaken for leprosy by a field
cornet, who sent him to Robben
Island. He returned home broken in
spirit and financially ruined, his prop
erty having been sold for the upkeep
of his children.
