20、a Encyclopedia)(1)(1)(1)(1)Braille Braille is a code of small,raised dots on paper that can be read by touch.Louis Braille,a 15-year old blind French student,developed a raised dot reading system in 1824.The idea came to him from the dot code punched on cardboard that Captain Charles Barbier used to
21、 send messages to his soldiers at night.In 1829,Braille published a dot system,basing it on a“cell“of six dots.From the 63 possible arrangements of the dots,Braille worked out an alphabet,punctuation marks,numerals,and,later,a system for writing music.His code was not officially accepted at once.But
22、 later it won universal acceptance for all written languages and for mathematics,science,and computer notation.Blind people read braille by running their fingers along on the dots.They can write braille on a 6-key machine called a braillewriter,or with a pocket-size metal or plastic slate.Braille bo

26、the proximity of the Marne Valley,it retains even today the character of a rural village.One may still see the small brown-tiled roofs,the farmyards,the farmhouses and a village green surrounded by trees where are clustered together St.Pierre Church(where Louis Braille was christened on January 8,18
27、09),the village hall,and the monument set up in 1887 and topped by a bust of the inventor of the alphabet for the blind.The body of Louis Braille rested in the village cemetery till 1952.On his tomb can be seen a casket in which the remains of his hands are preserved those hands which were the first
