Show Deaf Operator It Is well known that what are called "first-class" operators in telegraphy teleg-raphy read messages not hy means of punctures In strips of paper, which are only meant for beginners, but by sound that Is, by the clicks of the In-; In-; iirmnpnt.' Of ceurse, by practice, an operator's car Is rendered sensitive i until at last he can catch the faintest ' wlilsperlii.es of lils Instrument. It . wouldn't ho supposed, however, that this method . of reading messages would suit a deaf man. And yet a deaf man has accustomed himself to these circumstances.

He places his leg against the Instrument table and reaHs hy the swift Jarring thus communl- rated: at the same time he watchfg the motions of the Instrument. |
