Another curious instance of the snme class of
facts, an riven mbove, iu relation to soimds, may be
fonnil in the story of a inan employed in the
American Telegriph Company’s office in Wishwton City, who, thouzh he cannot speak or henr,
js classed ny a first-class operntor, dealing with
sounds. He cnn send mtd reectve disputches intelligently by the sense of feeling, He places his ler
neninat that of an instrnment-tuble, md in other
ways reads by the slight jarring, while watchiog
the operution of the instrmnent itself; and he this
understands all the muchine is talking about,
Hearse wirn tun’ Terta.—That faculty
whiclt we call “hearing,” can be ns well conveyed
to the mind hy means of the teeth as the car.
Curious as thix assertion may appenr, it is easy to
prove it by the following simple experiment. Liy
a watch upon a table, glass stde downwards ; then
stun se fur froui it that you cannot in the ordinary
way hear the tirking, Now place one end of a
stmull stick (say xix feet long) upon the buck of
the watch, and yrip the teeth upon the other; with
the fimzers close each ear, to exclude nll external
noise; the beai of the wateh will then be as andible as if pliced ngainst the enr. All other sounds
eau be conveyed in the same manner, no mutter
how long the stick is; for instance, if ono cnd is
pit npon a pianoforte in a sitting-room facing a
gurden, and the stick is thirty or forty fect tong, extending to the further end of the lawn or walk; if
the instrinuent is ever so lightly played, “the tune”
will be instanily distinguished by any person applying the teeth to the opposite end of the stick.
Naro.eoy, in his solitude, is said to have
used the expression,
* Able was 1, ere 1 saw Elba :””
which is the sanie spelled backwards.
