With oilt Instruction, she has developed in that time nu uncanny sense of touch t/iiit seems, In a measure, to take the place or her lost faculties. During September, 1021,' the girl dls ?t.vered that by placing her finger u;> on tins diaphragm of a telephone re . elver she could read conversation. She hiiN always had the faculty of sjMHH'h. With this dlsiS.?very She soon learned that she cou'?d conduct a telephone < -on versa t Ion a '.most as well u?* any normal child of her age. Hut Wllleitn H nggi n's ' sense of touch was to he given a new thrill. The girl was brought t<? Madison, Wis., on last Nov ember"'**, to, visit (Governor John J. Blains. She was taken to a news-ser vice office to uscertaih if,j*he conld read the wireless telephone and a score ajf persona, including Ma J. iB. A.

"When the message had first, been re-*j <eived, Mr. Hansen repeated it. tear ii>? that the girl had pot received It the first time It was transmitted. "Tip is repeatiug it," said Miss IIu$r tdnv "I know what ho said tho first ! time When i in* rei>etition of tho message hud htM'ii completed, after coaxing by Mis.
