THERE is machine, the invention Of
L Fournier Dalbe, French scientist,
whereby blind persons are enabled to read
an ordinary printed page of book or
newspapers. The different letters are dis
tinguished by the reader through tele-
phone receiver, which is attached to little
instrument that may be moved at Will
over the printed page.
The vital principle made use of in the
construction Of the instrument is the pc
euliar property of the metal selenium
in Strengthening or diminishing an electric
current passing through it, according to
the amount of light to which it is exposed.
The delicate adjustment of Prof. Dalbe's
device allows of an easy differentiation Of
letters by the varying sounds in the tele-
phone receiver as the deteetor is moved
across brightly Illuminated page. Very
little practice. it is said, is necessary
for proficiency in the use OF the instru-
ment, which is known as the "type read
ing oetophone"
