Electric Device for Blind.

A Paris scientist, Mr.. Charles Lam
bert, has devised a method of writing
which will be very useful for blind
persons, especially mutilated persons
who have lost their hands or forearms
the reading of the signs being done
by a specially designed electrical de-
vice. In the first place the characters
composing the text are printed in
Morse alphabet on the same method
as Is employed for producing letters
in relief on letter paper, that Is by
printing with thick paste which then
solidifies and leaves raised letter.
This method now replaces the old en-
bosslng process where cost Is an item,
for 1t is much cheaper. The only diff
ference from the usual Morse alpha
bet Is to place the dashes vertically
instead of horizontally. Reading Of
these characters can then be done by
persons deprived Of their hands, by
the use Of a very simple electrical de-
vice which Is run over the characters
in relief which are printed with spe-
cial metallic ink.
