Show l ' I THE LATEST MARVEL. I 1 New and beneficial s-cientific discoveries are of extremely fre-' fre-' qtient occurrence. By means of an invention of Miller Reese I Hutchinson, a young Alabamian, i who was recently decorated by vQueen Alexandra, lor his efforts I in behalf of the deaf, three children, child-ren, deaf, dumb and blind, have been enabled to hear a pianist play Sousa marches, a phonograph re- 'produce the sounds and the sounds of their own voice. i -The experiments were made at the laboratory ol Mr Hutchinson Jand were witnessed by many i . persons. The invention consists, primarily, prima-rily, of a transmitter, an earpiece and a small electric battery. By means of these instruments sound is projected into the ear in a manner man-ner to stimulate the auditory nerve. The volume of sound has nothing to do with the action of these instruments. The penetrating quality of the electric sound wave apparently disregards the mechanism, of the outer ear and affects, the inner j ear direct. " .' . ", "t ' i |
