1T is common knowledge that, with
out hearing, normal speech does not
come into being--certainly not without
very particular attention and technique.
Indeed, / may safely assert that no
person who has been deaf from birth
or from early childhood has ever at
tanned normal ability to speak. This
situation creates a particularly inter-
esting problem because of It's scientific
and Its human welfare bearings alone.

per cent more rapidly than others who

Familiarity with the swing of

certain prose selections and certain
verses more than others.

Subjects after appropriate training fol-

foundation. she will acquire remote
cues TO guide her in speech, exactly
as hearing people acquire cues"
Early attempts at developing sys-
tenn OF feeling speech were made by
DR.. Gault several years ago In the
psychological laboratory OF Northwest
ern University. A speaking tube was
extended through two walls, the re-
ceiving end of the tube being placed in
double walled, well packed box The
hearer thrust his arm through an
aperture in the box with the palm Of
his hand held tight over the end Of the
tube. He could then feel the expert
menter's voice from the adjoining room,
and learned to distinguish 38 different
words in the course of a few months,
practicing half hour daily.
This rude apparatus was superseded
by the use OF an acousticon connected
oy wires with transmitter. The sue
cess OF experiments In hearing through
the skin then led TO the development Of
the preSent type OF telctactor. the latest
form of which employs sound filter
so that any one Of group of vibration
rates above 1000 second Is directed
TO the little finger Of the listener;
any one OF a group OF freouencies up
10 ESQ a second is directed to the
thumb; frequencies Of intermediate
groups-25o TO 500. 500 to 1000, and
1000 TO 1000 q Second-are carried to
the remaining fingers.
BY the use Of this instrument the
sense of touch can detect vibrations of

The students become SO proficient at

the fact that the students learn more
quickly and accurately to speak.
THE sounds of speech can be instru-
mentally communicated to the fingers.

BOILING IN SEMI-VACUUM

THE strange sight Of milk boiling 80
violently that it jumps = foot or
more in the air while the temperature
Is only 1876 degrees fahrenheit Is mat
ter of daily routine to the pan opera
tor" Of a condensed milk plant.
The secret. of course, lies in the fact
that a partial vacuum is maintained tn
the huge copper retort in which the
milk is condensed.
The process Of condensing the milk
seems simple on the face Of it. but many
anxious moments arise before each
batch is safely put away In the storage
tanks awaiting the call Of the filling
room.
After the milk has been tested by the
chemist of the plant and standardized
that is, with skim milk or cream added
as may be necessary to produce a con-
densed product of 3 per cent or more
butterfat, and after the proper proper
ton Of sugar has been ascertained t1
make UP 43 or A. per cent Of the solids
of the final product, the pan operator
begins his trying duties.
The milk, before it is drawn into the
condensing pan. as the huge retort Is
called, is pre-heated in hot wells in
which live steam is introduced into the
milk through brass pipe. Great care
is needed in controlling the temperature
at this point for milk is so exactine
that a difference of two degrees will
make a decided difference in the body
or viscosity of the finished product
The temperatures vary from 1876 degrees
up to 205. depending upon the time OF
year and the results Of the tests Of the
milk.
After It has been pre-heated It Is
drawn into the pan, the bottom Of
which Is a steam jacket. Part way ur
the sides Of the pan are coils of steam
pipes. and inches In diameter, used
to heat the milk while the condensing
is going on.

pressure in the pan almost to perfect
vacuum. and when this point is reached
valve is opened and the milk comes
in with rush. After enough has beer
drawn into the pan to cover the jacket
the steam Is turned on and the milk

Other ships had been lost with all

keep the rockets going. Some vessel
might see them and come to pick UP
the boats. The glass was dropping
again and another storm brewing. Un-
less the boats were picked UP before
morning, 1t might be they would never
be found.
The AMMAN Prince was settling fast.
Abruptly the electric lights faded. the
searchlight died. The water had
reached the dynamos. Now all the
blue and white flares burning from the
tossing huddle of boats. The great
ship shuddered in blackness; save
where the fare light played on he-
gray hull and sent shadows lodging
mysteriously back and forth along her
promenades and through her empty
cabins. At intervals the golden red
streams Of sparks curved up from her
boat-deck to shatter into stars be-
meath the clouds. That was all the
sign there was the leviathan was not
completely deserted.
The foredeck dipped under. There
was an orninous sliding movement and
spray broke clear over the bridge In
sheets, streaming down the captains
set features, dripping from the golden
oak leaves on his cap. He made no
outcry, did not move. A great sea
lifted out of the blackness TO wind
ward and roared clean across the ship.
