Black eordered Paper.

Black edged note paper for
mourning has one popularity in
these days, when machinery docs or
is supposed to do everything better
than the human hand. The black
border, whether deep or narrow, is
linked on to each sheet of paper sep
arately and by hand, for, said
stationer, no machine has been in
vented to give satisfactory edging
of black to writing paper. The work
is consequently all done by girls. A
piece Of cardboard is placed on the
paper. which it covers save for a
narrow border all around. A brush
laden with black ink is run along
the edges Of the guide card, and the
sheet Of paper receives its mourn
ing border. 1t is a cumbersome
process to describe, but to see it. is
to marvel at the speed and unerriny
accuracy of the workers.-London

The Symbol Speech.

Visible speech is the name given
to a system Of symbols designed to
represent all the articulatc sounds
possible Of production by the hu-
man voice. 1t was invented by AL
exandcr Melville Bell and first pub
lishcd by him in 1867. According
to Bell, fifty of these symbols are
sufficient to represent the sounds of
all languages. The alphabctic char
acters composing Bells system,
thirty of which are called radical,
are to certain extent pictorial rep
reservations of the organs that pro-
duce the sounds. Curves are used to
represent consonants, and straight
lines are made the basis Of vowel
representation, and by this means a
complete alphabet has been con-
structcd.-Ncw York American.
