1t seems that the boy in question was only
Professionally blind-thas is to say that he
could see nothing on this earth, because
nothing on this earth is far enough away. He
is gifted with presbyopia in an enormously
aggravated form, in fact-the focus of his eye
is situate at point 100000 miles distant,
which by o curious and happy coincidence,
is very nearly the m can distance of the moon.
Hence, when, for the first time, his eyes
rested on that luminary, he immediately saw
things which he had never seen before, and
which nobody will ever see again, unless ma
ture should kindly increase the supply OF
blind boys for the benefs of science and the
development of astronomical knowledge. In
such a case we may expect that big tele
scopes will be abandoned. and that the cul
tivation of presbyopic babies will become ar
important branch of human industry.
