WALKING STICK FOR THE DEAF

The old-fashioned ear trumpet for
the use Of the deaf is impossible for
use on the streets. The new micro
phones for the deaf with their divi-
sion into microphone, resonating plate
and battery, are very awkard to car
ny about. The ear trumpet on a
walking stick puts the telephone for
the deaf in a better shape and in a
form which will be less conspicuous
in use, says the Experimenter. The
microphone is contained in the knob,
whose senstiveness can be adjusted
by little screw accessible from out
side. Below the microphone there is
dry cell which is connected as in a
pocket tiashlight. The battery can be
got at by unscrewing the knob along
the upper part of the stick proper
The screw presses against the con-
tact surface in the knob. The reson-
ating plate is small, saucer-shaped
expansion of the stick. Our author
says that the elegant instrument will
be desired by many a deaf person on
the street.
Many appliances have been devised
for assisting the deaf to hear. One of
the best known sufferers from the af-
Fiction is Thomas A. Edison. He can
hardly hear if the words are shouted
into his ear He told tae writer re-
Gently that he had an apparatus in
his laboratory embodying two vacuum
tubes with which he could hear a
spider walk.

contact with the Orient, as the eX-
ports and imports have made this
state the third largest port in the

Seattle stands as the greatest port
Of entry for Oriental imports, and

fancy in commerce, the future OF
Washington depends upon keeping

lumber, $2O,0OO,OO0, and apples and
canned fruits $2,oOO,OoO, other prod

interested in the success Of this com.
