. Be it known that I, SMIUEL L. Hninnf NewYork, in the county and State of New York, have invented.,

fmade, and applied to use `certain` new and useful Spelling-Blocks; and I do 'deglnre the' followingsto be n full, e'lear, and corrctdescrpton of my invention, reference being had vto the accompanying drawings, making parti ip f` this specicntion? and to the letters of reference markedjhereon; in which-F l Figure 1,.n-I View lshowing thrcesides of a bleek psdby me. Figure 2, a view-showingthe-opposite Zsides of the same.

- Figure 3, n 'vicw showing three sides of a second block iised by me.

` Figui-e4, n v ew showing the remaining sides of, lthe same.

Inthe drawings like parts ol the inventionare designated by thel same letters of reference. The nntnroo'f my inventonconsists- I `Y n v Inplacin'g diilerentletters of the alphabet upon two or more sides of'cuhical nr six-sided blocks, so that,

by oilbhin'g the blocks, Words in which the saine letters 'occlltiimore' than once may be readlypelled.

bn-Inlgiving to and placing upon eaoh block its proper numeral, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.-y

Tp enable those skilled in the' arts'- to make and use my inventliom I will describe the same. I

1 use 'any number ofcubical or sixsdrl blocks, whiclrhave placed upon them the numerals, hereinafter described. dive fsides of each block I place five letters of the alphabet, and upon the sixth eide'the nnmrnhmr its equivalent. Thsnumeral nerves` in 'connection with a printed key? to vshow on what block any xdefiod letter or letters 'may be found. The blocks being thus construct-ed, and reference being had to the nnxnernleplnced thereon und the p'rinted key, it vwill be found that; words eanbe readily spelled by combining.

,..th'c requisiti? number of blocks and those words in which the same lcttor''ccurs more than once, whiclrwas not .possible with the style'of hlock'snow in use. Thus, the word dog could be spelled with the old style,v,but the d"lord 3005s, of any other 'word in which the saine letter occuiledtwice; could not be.: SentencM also, thejnumber of vblocksv being increased, may be readily spelled. The .utility of myinyentionl is found in the fact that' Aehildxfen are not only tnught their-'letters by the use of myblocks, but are also taught to spell.

- Hav-ling thus described my invention,v whatl claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentg'is-f 1.I claim placing different lettereolA the alphabet upon two or more sides of cubieal or six-sided blocks, so that, by 'combi-ning the sama, words in ,which the same letter occurmore than once muy lbe. rendly spelled.

' 2. Iclam placing upon each block its proper numeral, for the purpose specified.
