TELEPHONE FOR THE MUTES
Curious Electrical Device That En-
ables Them to Communicate Rap
dly at Distance.

A curious electrical device called a
"deaf-mutes' telephone" has been in
vented to enable those who cannot
speak and hear to communicate rap
lily. not only with each other, but
with persons who can speak and
hear and are not conyersant with the
fnger-sign language, says the Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine, in an illus
trated article.
"The phone" comprises an elec-
trical keyboard, somewhat like that
of a typewriter. 1t has, like type
writer, the universal system" ar
rangement Of letters. This keyboard
is connected by wire with an elec-
tric signal board which is the "talk-
ing machine" proper and consists of
thirty-six incandescent light globes,
each with a large letter Of the alpha
bet or one of the nine numerals
painted on the end of the bulb.
The person who wishes to talk
presses the keys, spelling out the
words as on a typewriter, the other
person reading off the letters as they
flash on the lamps.
