Almost any sort OF raised em-

paper is full of surprises. ANY one familiar
with printing Offices is amazed at the won
derful cleanliness of the shop The presses
and machinery look more or less familiar,
and the roar of the machinery has a
friendly sound but there the similarity
ends. The transformation is due to the
fact that the blind mans paper is printed
without ink. The blind, of course read
their alphabet by the sense of touch alone.
The printing press has no ink rollers or
plates. The proverbia printers devil work..
with clean hands. The shop is as clean as
any business Office.
"Ihe blind mans paper is actually Illus
trated to the satisfaction of its readers
1t contains maps and diagrams illustrate
ing the text, reproduced of course. in re-
lief, so that it may be read by the fin
gers of the blind. To print such map
a copper plate. or, rather, two Of them
is stamped by means of dies and the raised
lines are printed exactly as the letters
AN ingenious machine has been designed
for the work 1t consists of eight dies
which, when used singly or in combinations
produce every form of raised enclosing re-
qured in making these maps and diagrams
The plate for printing full page map is
shown in an accompanying illustration. The
map, it will be seen is that of the North
Pole regions. showing the Arctic Circle
and the parallels Of latitude, with the out
lines of Greenland and the northern CONT
nents. The water instead of being ndl-
Gated by blue shading, in an ordinary
map, has been worked over with a series
of regular ELECTIONS. The boundary lines of
the land are indicated by dotted lines. The

distinguished. The names Of the bodies
of water and of the land are printed in
the Braille alphabet A long caption beneath
the cut explains the map. Even the route
followed by Peary is indicated by line
OF crosses which cannot be mistaken for
the other markings. These plates are
mounted on the rollers of the press like the
others and printed in the same way
GAS might be expected, the blind mans
newspaper carries large proportion of the
war news and illustrations
Tine water area in maps is indicated by
a series of dots. while the land is LETT
smooth. The boundaries of the various
countries made clear to the blind reader
by raised line. The names of all the
countries and the principal bodies of water
are printed in raised characters.'

loads Are Doing Their
Bit. Too

IF YOU happen to find toad in your
war garden, don't interfere with
him. He is patriot. His work is
benefcent, and he knows precisely
what he is about.
He eats flies, moths, worms, bugs and
all sorts of noxious insects that prey on
plants. He works at high speed, too,
despite his apparent inertia. A biologi-
cal authority says a toad has been OBJ
served to snap up 1913 flies in half an
hour. Try catching that many flies
yourself, and you will gain respect for
the humble and homely batrachian.
The same authority estimates that if
cutworms do cents worth of damage
apiece, single toad may be worth 500
a season merely through his anti-cut-
worm activities.
SO do not Kill the little reptile. He
may be ugly, but he has kind heart
and disposition to do his bit toward
saving democracy. If you have not a
family of toads in your garden it will
pay to import some and guard them
zealously from small boys and lawn
mowers.-From The Aberdeen Ameri-
can.

1t is combination of magazine and news
paper, and has the distinction Of being the
only magazine which is sent through the
mails free of postage Its raised letters
and illustrations give it q somewhat un-
wieldy appearance, although it's weight is no
greater for that reason. To render the let
ters as distinct as possible to the fingers Of
its readers, a special heavy paper is used.
"The typcsetting machine employed in
such work does not as a matter of fact
set type in the ordinary sense. 1t is d
highly ingenious device which makes it
possible to punch the letters in sheet of
copper The machine is operated by a
keyboard like a typewriter The letters are
those of the Braillc alphabet which forms
the A, B, c of every blind mans education.
Such typcsctting machine is. of course,
much simpler than the linotype that sets
the type, casts the line and redistributcs
the letters. 1t is important that the op
orator on the blind mans machine be very
accurate, since mistake in q letter means
the wrong shaped hole in the copper sheet
which cannot be erased 1t will be no.
tced that the keyboard of the typoscttine
machine has but ten keys. This does not
mean that the Brallc alphabet has but ten
letters. Tho operator presses down the
keys in combinations of two or more at
time. thus producing the various letters
and forms Of the blind alphabet.
"Thc forms produced by the typesetting
machines produced in pairs. Later,
when they are placed on the cylinder of
the printing press, the two together
exactly overlapping, so that they inter
mesh. Each projection fits into CORE
spending aperture exactly as the two faces
OF enclosing stamp. One is in relief
the other intaglio These copper plates,
which correspond to the type cylinder used
I'm ordinary newspaper printing, are locked
on the cylinders of a specially constructed
printing press. With each revolution of
lhe cylinders the two copper plates of eacn
page come together and ntermcsh with abb
solute accuracy. To print the page a sheet
of manila paper is fed into the press As it
passes between the cylinders the PRESSURE
which is considerable, forces the paper into
the openings in the copper plate and a
moment later it comes out raised exactly
reproducing the copper plates. The raised
letters have been neatly stamped INTO the
sheet.

they return and the effect passes off. 1t
seems az if fear could cause a sort of
mental concussion Now if one regards
mental activity as dependent on the flow
of thought, or the play of consciousness,
along the thousands of nerve fbres with
in the brain, and if mental shock sus-
ponds for a time the passage of those
nerve impulses, we can readily imagine
a suspension of nerve action which is
temporary and not due to actual disease.
Many regard these nerve impulses as
electrical in nature, and we may imagine
Il grounding of the nerves or an arrest
of conductivity such as puts our tele-
phones out in a thunderstorm. Then or
derby thought, clear conscious percep-
ton, voluntary activity may be suspend
ed for a time-but return when the storm
is over. These are analogies only, but
they help one to picture the state of the
mind and the brain in shell shock.
1T has been known for a long time
that sudden changes in atmospheric press

More Light On Shell Shock

scopic in size, hundreds in number, have
been found scattered irregularly through
the brain. These destroy not only nerve
cells but also the nerve fbrcs which
carry the messages from cell to cell and
enable the processes of association of
ideas and memories to 90 on in the mind
The mechanism of thinking is in this way
completely thrown out of gear Such
little clots may in time during life be
absorbed, like the hemorrhage caused by
a bruisc, so that their existence is not
necessarily fatal and does not perma-
nently incapacitate the individual.
In other cases changes in the cells Of
the brain are produced which arc known
to follow continued emotional strain or
long continued sleeplessness in animals.
If a rabbit is kept awake for one hum
drcd hours it dies Of exhaustion in spite
Of feeding. If a rat is frightened to
death it shows the same brain condition
found in the rabbit These changes in
brain conditions found in the rabbt are

characteristic of exhaustion. The brain
cell, like a grape, has a skin and an inter
nal framework filled in with gelat:nous
material. When it is put to work this
material is used up until at last the
framework and skin are empty, like a
dried raisin. If the work ceases while
little gelatne remains nature may pro-
vide a new supply through the blood and
fill the skin again. But if the substance
IS all used up no regeneration is possible.
Now, under emotional strain or sleep
lessness or exhaustion the same changes
occur that we see after work, and hence
we believe that as basis of shell shock
in some cases there is a state of dsnte-
grafton in the brain cells of greater or
less degree
"There is still another explanation,
which happily applies to very many of
the cases. IF one receives n sudden blow
upon the head state known as concus-
sion results, in which for time all the
faculties are suspended But later on

ure produce startling effects upon the

as the removal of the cork from a bottle
of champagne sets free bubbles OF gas in
the fluid, SO the sudden removal of at
mospheric pressure from the body sets
free bubbles of gas in the blood and
these, by acting as plugs in the finer
vessels, cut off the brain and nervous
system from the blood supply and thus
derange their action. Now it has been
shown that the explosion of large shells

tons to the square yard on bodies within
fifty feet, and this is succeeded at once
by corresponding decrease of pressure.

Story of Treenails

width of the nail, are driven in two inches
ana are about one-quartcr of an inch thick
where they are cut off. Wedges are driven
so as to spread the nail against the end
grain of the planking, because if they were
driven the other way the panking might be
split.
There is something else besides the
drift and the wedgng of the head to hold
the treenail tight. When the boat is put
into the water the nail swells. The auger
hole cnlargcs, too; but here curious prop
erty OF wood comes into play to clamp the
treenail more firmly in it's place. Wood
shrinks and swells, with reduction or in
crease in its moisture content, very slight
ly lengthwse of the lumber so that the
difference in the auger hole is very slight
but it shrinks or swells considerably the
other way, so that the seasoned treenail
becomes appreciably enlarged when it is
soaked, and by pressing against the fbrcs
of the planking increases immensely it's
holding power
If you look at the side of wooden ship
you will see signs of these tremendous
wooden nails. 1t looks all smooth, and no
doubt many landsman supposes that the
planking is nailed on just like the siding
Of house The reason for this smooth
ness is that after the wedging has all been
done the outside of the ship is carefully
smoothed off even with the planking; then
coat of paint makes the ship look as
much like one piece as a canoe
