Notable Inventions

Two remarkable inventions which have just come to public attention are an apparatus for enabling the totally deaf to hear, and an apparatus for enabling the totally blind to see. In the former a small apparatus is attached to the ears, by which, through the instrumentality of electricity, sound waves are conveyed directly to the inner ear. The mechanism for enabling the blind to see has not yet been described by the inventor; but has been satisfactorily tested, according to reports from Paris. The hearing apparatus has been tested in public, and the deaf mutes who heard for the first time were in ecstasy.
