The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-02-06

The human eye, though trained to
distinguish colors, may by want of use
forget how to distinguish them. The
unique experience of DR.. R. Harley, F.
r. S., related in the London Spectator,
establishes the fact that color can be
forgotten, as we'll as learned, by human
sight.
DR.. Harley, in order to save the sight
of one eye-or perhaps Of both-when
one was injured, voluntarily immured
himself in a room made totally dark for
nine months.
The fortitude which enabled him to
adopt this course and the ingenuity by
which he preserved his health and fac
ulties in this the most mentally and
physically depressing of all forms Of
imprisonment are sufficiently remarka-
BILE, but DR.. Harley also kept an accu-
rate record Of his impressions when he
at last looked again upon the light, after
the supreme moment at which he salts
fed himself that he was not blind, but
could see.
He found that in the nine months
darkness his eyes had lost all sense Of
color. The world was black, white and
gray, They had also lost the sense Of
distance. His brain interpreted the pic
ture wrongly. His hand did not touch
the object meant to be grasped. Prac-
tice soon remedied the last induced de-
feet Of sight. Experiment with skeins
Of various colored wool, in the presence
Of one who had normal color vision, re-
stored the first.

the Champ" is known. He told me an
interesting story of his first race as be
lay on his cot at Waltham last May,
while his trainer rubbed him down.
And 1t Is worth. depression to say a
word or two concerning this same
trainer
William ]. Corcoran was, in old days,
the athletic manager of the New York
Athletic club. After Zimmerman won
few races, Corcoran secured him for
the N. Y. A. G. team, and he was a ia
miliar figure at all the race meets on
the circuit, pushing off the rider Zim-
norman.
For the last year Mr.. Corcoran has
had charge of the Waltham track and
Is looked upon as pre-eminently the
best track master and handler in the
country to-day. 1t was a very pleas
ant sight-the reunion of the old trainer
and racer, and "reminiscences of old
times suggested the story of the first
race. Charley Murphy, another we'll
known and successful racer, was lying
on the next cot to "Zim," and, singu-
larly enough, was in the race which
Zimmerman won.

but you didn't that day."
II went into that race and rode from

that I won the race and nearly fell off

there is sure to be host of entertain
ing stories clustering about every pub
lie parsonage, which rarely find their
way to the public ear, and which point
unerringly to the experiences which lie
nearest their hearts and the traits
which signally distinguish them.
The sporting champion is especially
the subject of such stories, and the
wheel champion heads the list of them
all. Wheel-racing has come to be such
an exact science that it has become
hedged about with a code of laws, and
altogether has blossomed into well-es-

The stories told here concerning these
men have never before been in print to
my knowledge. Most of them were
told me by the men themselves, and are
therefore authentic, says writer in
the Nickel Magazine.
Zimmerman, Sanger and Bald, no one
will dispute the fact, are to-day re-
garded as the best racers in the world.
Zimmerman, after taking one hun
dred first prizes in America in '93, went
to France and England in '94, and Is
now In Australia. His racing career
has been in all senses remarkable and
he stands the acknowledged "Plumed
Knight" Of the wheel. Sanger de-
feated Zimmerman twice in '93 and his
remarkable wins in '94 placed him in an
enviable position as q wheel-racer;
Bald, also, has this year hewed out a

displacing the other two, and, singu-
larly enough, the three have never met
in signal or decisive contest. It is,
perhaps, a gracious thing to say that
these three men are, without exception,
modest, unassuming, and altogether
gentlemen. So much for the relative
standing Of the three. Now for the
stories.
Mr.. Zimmerman, personally, is one Of
the most charming fellows one may
meet. He is tall, loosely thrown to-
gether, and slouches in his walk. An
extremely characteristic attitude of his
is standing with his knee bent and his
hip thrown almost from its socket. An
interesting conversationalist, he never
fails to win friends, who become the
more loyal allies the better they learn

The next day he fell, thrown by the
carelessness of a novice, and when they
