A certain Monsieur Lejeune, who has been totally blind from birth, has just given an exhibition of his skill in writing shorthand, reaching a speed of 100 words a minute at the Grand Palais, Paris, France. Last August he was actually expert enough to obtain a medal for shorthand in a competition held at Orleans, where he also received a diploma for correct and rapid typewriting. The machine he uses for stenography is also exhibited at the Grand Palais in the exhibition that is being held of toys and mechanical contrivances, and its inventor has received the prize from the jury of the “Concours Lepine.” Lejeune learned to manipulate the machine at his present speed in less than five months.
