NEW AND SIMPLER
 CODE FOR TELEGRAPH
(By Associated Press)

VIENNA, July 8.-Dr. Max Herz, a we'll known Vienna scientist, has in- vented asort of combination of talking machine and telegraph which will en- able the blind to read" with far great CT ease than the present cumbersome and costly Braile books.
 The principle of the new device lies in the conveying of Morse" or other telegraphic signs to the blind through the sense of hearing On the machine are placed small records, each of which may contain a whole story, written out in code.
 To produce these records a further instrument composed of two Morse keys and electric saunders, is required, the saunders being connected with a needle which cuts into the prepared wax record. The records consist only of long and short sounds and they can be sold at extraordinarily low prices. It is proposed through this medium to issue a daily newspape rfor the blind.

freshness and beauty! Do you realize
that they are SO brilliant that l can
eve show paintings of American gar
dens in the same room with English
gardens, because they make them look
quite dreary? Their one fault is that
there is often too much statuary in
them, and too much Of it irrelevant.
Frequently, too, they are not rambly
enough, and seem a little self-con-
scious. In English gardens small
stones mellow with years are used,
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy. 1t is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist.
In England these abound, with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges of many varieties of flowers.
