Armless Palntor* Win Fame.
Some yeaip ago In London I saw
fine water-color landscapes by aq art
ist who had lost both arms, writes a
reader to the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. His name, if I remember
rightly, was Bertram Hiles, and be
held his' brush (?i rather long one)
between his teeth wheil painting.
And at the Edinburgh School of Art
fTOine twelve years agd or more there
was a student who also was armless,
though he held his crayon or pencil
with his toes. \
Then there, was the case of Daniel
Vierge, the Spaniard. At one time
Vlerge was a facile but ttdl greatly
distinguished magazine illustrator, and
his reputation was confined to his own
country. But becoming paralyzed In
bis right side and losing the entire
use of his fright afrni he learned to use
his left, developed a new style Influ
enced by the slower execution, and
gained an international reputation as
a pen and Ink draughtsman.
Script or Print WritlnQ?
There is a movement in Englahd to
abolish script writing and replace It
by print writing. The characters used
in the proposed system are the ordi
nary printed letters known as the Ro
man block letters with the exception
of "a" and "g," which are simplified
into their script forms.) Print char
acters were used centuries ago by
monks before script writing became
the fashion. Advocates of the pro
posed reforjn claim that it has many
?advantages over ordinary handwrit
ing,?particularly tn rtnrt rtre rtrmt"
learns much more qulckly/'Many Brit
ish educational authorities favor prini
writing and it Is taught In numerous
k British schools. There Is no waste of
time on the Innumerable Joinings of
letters, and superfluous loops and
flourishes are abolished. At least one
big London firm has adopted the sys
tem.
New Ideas in Adding Machine.
At least two novel features are em
bodied In the construction of a new
adding machine described In the Popu
lar Mechanics Magnzlne. Most re
markable, perhaps. Is the facility and
safety with which It may be taken
apart In spite of Its complex nature,
a pair ot Pliers and a penknife being
the only tools necessary. The opera
tion of greatest value, however. Is the
'machine's ability to subtract as easily
mm it *?5*. This Is made possible by
m simple reversing lever which causes
tbe adding wheels to no backwari.
