Strange Loss Of Sight.

In the course of a recent debate on
vivisection in the Prussian Landtag,
the Minister of Public Worship, Won
Gossler, cited the following remarkable
case "a young lady, belonging to an
aristocratic famil y in Konigsberg, grad
ually lost her power of vision, until at
last she was entirely blind. Her eye,
on being examined, was found to be
perfectly sound, whence it followed
that the seat of her trouble must be in
the brain. All treatment proved un-
availing until the discovery was made
that she had received some months
previously heavy blow on the head
from falling board. Professor Munck,
the famous experimentalist who exam
ined her, convinced the oculist and the
surgeon that the affected part must be
that section of the brain which his ex-
periments on monkeys had proved to
be the central station for sensations of
sight. The blow had evidently injured
the membrane of the brain. This made
perforation of the skull necessary-a
very difficult operation-which, how
simple, because the exact locality in
the brain was known, whereas in the
case of Prince whose skull was per-
forated for a similar reason, previous
to DIR. Munck's discoveries, the opera
ton had to be repeated thirty-two
times. The young lady recovered her
eyesight completely"

Prof. Huxley on Elementary Teaching.

There are great many people who
imagine that elementary teaching might
be properly carried out by teachers pro-
vided with only elementary knowledge.
Let me assure you that that is the pro-
foundest mistake in the world. There
is nothing so difficult to do as to write
good elementary book, and there is
nobody so hard to teach properly and
well as people who know nothing about
subject; and will tell you why. If 1
address an audience of persons who are
occupied in the same line of work as
myself can assume that they know
vast deal, and that they can find out the
blunders l make. If they dom t, it is
their fault and not mine; but when 1
appear before a body of people who
know nothing about the matter, who
take for gospel whatever 1 say, surely
it becomes needful thatI consider what
I say, make sure that it will
bear examination and that 1 do
not impose upon the credulity of those
who have faith in me. In the second
place, it involves that difficult process of
knowing what you know so well that
you can talk about it as you can talk
about your ordinary business. A man
Cdu always bdlh dUOuG HIS OWN DuSluoSS.
He can always make it plain; but if his
knowledge is hearsay he is afraid to go
beyond what he has recollected and
put it before those that are ignorant in
such a shape that they shall compre-
hend it. That is why, to be good ele-
mentary teacher, to teach the elements
of any subject, requires most careful
consideration if you are a master of the
subject; and if you are not master Of
it it is needful you should familiarize
yourself with SO much as you are called
upon to teach-soak yourself in it, so to
speak-until you know it as part Of
your daily life and daily knowledge, and
then you will be able to teach anybody.
That is what l mean by practical
teachers, and although the deficiency
is being remedied to a large extent, ]
think it is one which has long existed,
and which has existed from no fault OF
those who undertook to teach, but be-
cause until within the last score years
it absolutely was not possible for any
one in great many branches of science,
whatever his desire might be, to get in
struction which would enable him to be
a good teacher of elementary things.
All that is being rapidly altered, and ]
hope it will soon become a thing of the
| past. Mature.
