Invention by Which the
Blind Are Able to Read

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, March 6.--At the Roetgen
Ray society's February meeting Prof.
Fourier d'Albe demonstrated an in
strument whereby, with practice,
blind persons are enabled to read
ordinary print by sound. The instru-
mcnt depends upon an application of
selenium, and is a development of an
instrument which Prof. d'Albe used
four years ago to enable sightless
persons to locate bright lights or
brightly luminous patches by means
OF the ear and to discover shadows
intercepting the light. In this case
the light shining upon the silenium
arms OF the machine caused certain in
terruptions or changes in the electric
current passing through them, which
were translated into sounds by means
Of telephone continuance. The
later apparatus is more delicate
adoption of the same idea.
A small, revolving perforated disk
is illuminated by a half-watt lamp,
dHu tIc lllldSC VI iiiIS VI luminous
dots, furnished by the rvovling disk,
is projected upon the type to be read.
The light thus reflected from the type
is passed to a set Of silenium bridges
connected by a telephone relay, and
sound corresponding to the various
letters of the type are carried to the
receiver. Each letter of the printed
matter, as it passes over the small
aperture in the slab, gives a different
sound effect from any other latter,
and with practice a blind person can
recognize these distinctive sounds.
This sound alphabet, of course, has
to be learned, but with practice the
line of type can be moved across the
aperture at the rate of several words
a minute, and the sense becomes in
teIIioibIe IN the reader. or nearer.

Russia Will Become
Definite Force in
War, Says Milukoff

London, March 26.-Foreign Min
lister Milukoff has outlined the atti-
tude of the new Russian government
in foreign affairs to a number of Pc
trograd and Moscow journalists. A
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd
quotes the foreign minister as say
ing:
1--WE shall remain faithful to all past
alliances similar to that with our al
lies, which would still further be
strengthened and become still more
cordial and sincere. The change in
regime will dispense the distrust our
allies had a right to feel toward the
late government. 1t is Russia's duty
to continue the struggle brilliantly,
both for its own liberty and that of all
Europe.
"By the change in regime we def
nicely won the sympathy Of neutrals,
especially Sweden, while Finland,
thanks to the restoration of its con-
stitution, has become our sincere
friend. Our allies came into touch
with the new regime without an in
stant's delay, understanding that the
old regime was religious hindrance
to that Organization of the Russian
people which is necessary for final
triumph.
To-day Russia is no longer a dead
weight in the coalition of allies. 1t
is a productive force. Henceforth all
rumors of a separate peace must van.
ish once for all. 1t would be anti
national for freed Russia to come to
an understanding with reactionary
Germany"

EDISON BECOMES
WIZARD OF THE AGE
Invents Electric Light After
He Stubs His Toe on a
Dark Crossing.
LAW OF SNUFF RECITED
By A. R. GRoH.

From Mrs. Gladys Matoush, $50

comes a request that l write up
"Thomas A. Edison, his early life
and scientific achievements
i am glad to get this request and
shall direct upon Mr.. Edison the
searehlight OF my wisdom,
Thomas Alva Edison was born in
ls47 in Ohio, U. S. A, While he was
small boy people did not know that
some day he would become the great
est inventor in the world. One sum-
mcr evening, while out walking. he
came to a dusty place at crossing
and, as it was dark, he got his shoes
all dusty. 1890
The boy decided then that some
day he would invent the electric
light.

railway and before long he was
telegraph operator. He invented
things that saved the telegraph COM

once in while they would raise his
pay IS month.

Soon he started out in business ior
himself as an inventor and rapidly
became the great wizard that he is
today. We could never hear Cohen

was in large crowd OF about 10000
people and he may not even have
seen me. II you should desire a
fuller biography OF Mr.. Edison you
may be able to find it at the library.
A great legal question is presented
for my decision by John Klascus,
Creighton law student. who ad-
dresses me as Americas greatest
phrenologist" and says he would APP
point me judge il he had the APP
pointive power. :. !.
"Your first case" he writes, will
be to decide the legality OF law
which 'forbids the importation. SELL

OF Its substitutes.

He further informs me that will

All right, John, call the court to
order. | have looked up the case you
mention. State VS.. Olson. This case
has TO do with South Dakota law
and II defines snuff as ANY tobacco
that has been fermcnted, dried, fla
vored. pulverized, cut, scented or
otherwise treated"
In view OF this, Of course, and bas-
ing my construction Of the "quid"
pro nulIus priori and taking into
consideration the courts decision in
the similar case Of State VS.. Schnit-
relbaumer (i71 Illinois Territory,
page, 36o4). as well as the case hav-
ing similar bearing though somewhat
more pluribus unum and therefore

statute in this case providing that il

court so decides, fixing the costs on
the plaintiff.
