The Ziegler Magazine for the Blind, the
first publication of its kind in this coun-
try and the second one in the world has
just come from the press. It is now
being sent to the sightless thousands of
America through the benevolence Of Mrs.
William Ziegler, widow Of the hacker of
several Arctic expeditions. who has do
mated the funds 10 cary ont the enter
prise. Il is estimated that the cost of
the magazine 90 Mrs. Ziegler will be S70.-
90 year. Ii IS more bulky than the
ordinary publication, and is twelve by
thirteen inches, comprises fifty sheets and
weighs almost one pound. Tho sheets are
printed on one side only. They are very
thick, since the characters, consisting OF
raised dots and dashes have 20 be hrst
made on metal plate and then repro
duced on the paper. The Braille system
Of type IS used.
Much care has been taken by Walter
G.. Holmes, the editor. in compiling the
magazine Many poems and stories have
to be omitted because they deal with the
sense OF sight. illusions TO moOnbeams,
starlight, rainbows, clouds. and beautiful
scenery may not be printed. as they serve
TO emphasize to the readers the sense of
their affection
Over lQ,000 copies Of the first issue have
been printed. OF this number 500 have
already been sent TO blind readers among
the general public. The remainder will
be distributed among the students now I'm
schools for the blind. The magazine con
tains no advertising, and is absolutely
free.
In addition to stories. poems. and cur
rent news. the first number contains a
map Of the Panama Canal, showing bv
means Of raised characters the location
OF North and South America. Cuba, and
the isthmus. Some of the points on the
map are marked with only dots represent
ing the first letter of the name. but in
the margin the name Is spelled out. The
number also contains a letter from Pres

States. He tells US that Mr.. Thompson
has come back from his voyage Of dis

him. He also tells of the difficulty OF
finding "A test by which q rubai attrib-

reader must be referred to a few OF his
