Heading tllO wireless telephone hy
the sense <>f touch Is the now necorn
t, ishim nt of Wlllt't ta Hiigsliw, age 10
tjhn blind aiul deaf girl of JaucHvUic,
Wis. B.v placing her fingers on the
diaphragm of the receiver, she gets
tbe vibration of vtfiu tmnian voice and
ul)!i> to^under stand. She has "been
lij iml and deaf for throe years. 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. Fit*

of 1'Mucat Ion I .Mrs. .). T. Hooper, su
perintendent of the blind school at
janesvlllej .1 G(. </rownhar.t, news
paper correspondent and wireless
operator, and a score of others were
asked to be present.
Arrangements were made with Prof.
K. M. Terry, head of the department
of physics at the University of Wisoon- j
sin. and Malcoro P. Hansen, wireless
operator, fo send the girt a. message by
radio telephone. No<, one Jn the room
know what the message would be. To
the amazement of tlie audience, the
Mind and deaf girl with her fingers
lu the two receivers was able to read
this message:
"My dear Miss Huggins : 1 am gUid j

-Maleom P. Hansen, Wireless Opera
"He calls ine 'dear Miss Husglnfc,"
declared the girl as the . message was]
started and- she laughed about it as
if it wore a slight embarrassment to
i>e so ? familiarly addressed by a
stranger.
"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

time
When i in* rei>etition of tho message
hud htM'ii completed, after coaxing by
Mis. Hooper, sho told the people pres
ent, almost word for word, what tho1
?rperntor had sent her.
Hut a ^ i in more striking demonstra- j
lion of her senses of touch wa^s to bo i
siven. After tho message had been!
ompleted by the use of the regular
telephone. it was transmitted to the re j
????Tving office and, typewritten. Half]
in hour later, after many other ex- 1
[?erimenis liad been tried with the girl, i
successfully ? the telling of colors by j
the sense of smell, and tho denomiua- (
'fon of numerals on them ? she was

* Oh! This is the Kjftue message

"Willetta Muggins is a wonder,'

"Not herself, but what she may , teach
o tho educational world may be more
wonderful than education alone. With
lefoctive sight and defective hcarine.
'wo imperfect avenues of approach to
'he brain, she was dull, stolid, discon

ever in intAlectual development. Rven
iho work with her hands was much in
