Can See Without Eyes.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Feople to-
tally blind and people without eye
balls were made to see by aid of an
X-ray machine in the office of DR..
Heber Roberts Tuesday afternoon.
He had some forty sightless subjects
and a large audience of spectators.
The apparatus used was the Nicola
Tesla compound apparatus, a ma
chine weighing about 500 pounds.
The tube through which the rays are
presented to the senses of the afflicted
person is known as the Horoscope.
1t was held to the head of the sight
less person, either in front. before
the useless eyeballs or socket; in the
case of persons whose eyeballs are
gone, at the side of head. Some of
those enabled to see found the re-
suits best when held at the back OF
the head.
One interesting case was that of
Walter Kelly, 26 years old. whose
sight had been destroyed through
I've being thrown into his eyes. This
caused Inflammation, resulting in
the lids uniting firmly with the
globes, and he had not seen light
for ten years. The apparatus was
applied and letters made of lead,
about an inch long, were held before
him. He was able to distinguish
the object, but could not name the
letter.
Another case was that of Patrick
Moran, &c years old, who had not
seen anything for thirty years. His
eyeballs had been totally destroyed.
A plate of lead was moved back and
forth over the Horoscope, when he
shouted: II see, ] see." The OBJ
iect appeared to him as a mere
shadow, but he was able to tell its
form.
From the experiments DR.. Roberts
adduced that the retina of the eye is
not the actual point of contact at
which an object is presented to the
senses of the beholder, but that it is
a mirror which might be replaced by
an artificial one in case other por-
lions of the eyeball remain intact.
He contends that by the use of
X rays the object, light or shadow,
is presented directed to the corpora
uudra germina, or germ of sight.
located between the cerebrum and
cerebellum, on line with the eyes,
but nearer to the posterior wall OF
the skull than to the face.
This conclusion that the retina is
simply q mirror is directly at vari-
ance with all works on physiology,
which teach that the retina receives
the impression of the object, as does
the prepared plate of a camera.

Conferences held during the late
visit of Mark Hanna to the President
elect resulted, it is stated, in the
offering of the treasury portfolio to
the chairman of the Republican
National Committee. Late utter
ances of Boss Hanna, showing the
obligations of Mr. Mckinley to him,
seem to indicate that there is some
mistake in the information which is
thus given to the country. Advices
heretofore have been to the effect
that Doodle elected Mckinley and
that Hanna handled the Doodle and
with it acquired the right to dictate
to the President who should dispense
the offices. Hanna may accept the
treasury portfolio, but surely no
conference was necessary to that
end. A boss big enough to buy the
presidency, Of course had no favors
to ask of the man who is to be the
incumbent. The people are not SO
easily deceived and the gold-bug
papers if they would retain the little
confidence which the people have in
them, should be more correct in
giving the news to the country.

Bryan Oh the Election.

New York, December lin the
American Review Mr.. Bryan has an
article in which he discusses the re
suit of the election as affecting the
status of the silver question. The
issue on which the election turned
he describes las the greatest issue
ever submitted to the American peo
pie in time of peace" The declaration
of the Chicago convention in favor
of the free coinage of silver forced
upon the people of this country a
study of the money question in gen
eral, and within the last four months
more people have been simultane
ously engaged in it's consideration
than ever before in the history of the
world. The result of this study Mr..
Bryan declares to be temporary de-
feat but permanent gain for the
cause.n
Mr.. Bryan regards it as significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had
been longest considered; that is to
say, in the west and south. In Mr..
Bryan's opinion the cause of BIZ
metallism made more rapid progress
than any cause ever made in such
short time. He expresses his assurance
that the election can be by no means
regarded as a conclusive settlement
of the question at issue. The advo
Gates of free coinage are convinced,
he says, that they are laboring in be-
half of a large majority Of the people,
not only here, but throughout the
world, and they propose to continue
their contest, confident that four
more years of experience will con-
vince many who have thus far re-
sisted argument.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says,
is confirmed by the history of recent
elections. Mr.. Greedy was defeated
in 1872, and yet Mr.. Tilden was elect
ed in 1876. Mr.. Blaine was defeated
in 1884, but Mr.. Harrison was elected
in 1888. The republican victory of
1883 was followed by the democratic
victory of 1890 and the election Of
President Cleveland two years later.
Mr.. Bryan counsels the successful
party to remember that thousands of
republicans have been held to their
party this year by the pledge that it
will try to secure international BIZ
metallism.
In regard to the gold standard
democrats, Mr.. Bryan is assured that
they cannot do as much in 1900 as
they have done this year. They have
declared their affection for demo
cratic principles, while they spared
no effort to secure the success of the
opposing ticket. They cannot" he
says, disguise themselves again"

AccoMAc COURT House, VA.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1896.
Entered at the Postoffice at AccomaC
@. e.. Va. as second-class matter.

General Fitz Lee is in Richmond,
and so far has not yielded to the
Establishments of the boltocrat-re-
publican combine of Virginia or has
signified his willingness to accept a
cabinet position under a republican
president, which false friends have
tried to convince him he could get If
he would consent. He refuses even
to discuss State politics, and his re-
fusal seems to carry with contempt
for those who have presumed to be-
lieve that he was for sale. Silent as
he was though, enough was said by
him to indicate that he would be in
evidence again in the political affairs
of the State, and on that side in
which lie has ever been when he
wanted place or position of any
kind-and unlike some of the public
men, nothing can ever swerve him
from the cause which he thinks
right. Defeated he has been in his
political aspirations in the past and
may be again, but he has never yet
wanted, nor ever will, the victory
that leads to dishonor, and the re-
publican boltocrat combine is prob
ably convinced by this time that 1t
is folly to further tempt him.

cluded to try it. One-half of a bottle
cured me entirely"
J. A. Van VaIzah, Hughesville, Pa,

has proven so valuable that do not
hesitate to recommend it to anyone"
DIR. F. Winger, Ephrata, Pa, says:

The trend of sentiment in the
State regarding the democratic guber-
material nomination is in favor of
Chairman Ellyson, of the State COM
mittee, says a Washington CORES
pondent, and the statement may be
correct, but the correspondent is mis-
taken in saying that Hon. William \.
Jones is out of the race, because he
has encountered strong opposition
in his own district, if as we have a
cause to believe, his information is
based upon opposition to Mr.. Jones
on the Eastern Shore. individuals
in every part of the Eastern Shore
may prefer Chairman Ellyson, Hoge
Tyler, Baker P. Lee and perhaps
others, but the bulk of the voters are
for Mr.. Jones and could easily over
come any movement in favor OF all
other candidates. There is certainly
very little opposition to Mr.. Jones at
this time and will not be later, unless
it is proved to the satisfaction of the
people of the Eastern Shore, that the
cause OF democracy would be more
likely to triumph under the leader
ship of someone else.

Bryan's Vote in the South.

Some of the newspapers of the East
have been loudly claiming since the
recent presidential contest that the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan was great
blow to the democratic party in the
South. 1t is claimed that in compar-
ison with the vote of 1892, the demo
cratic loss in the recent election was
signally heavy.
Of course, it is not intended by
these organs to reflect upon the per-
sonal character of Mr.. Bryan, but
rather upon the platform adopted by
the Chicago convention. So far as
the qualifications of Mr.. Bryan as a
great leader are concerned, every
fair minded critic must recognize his
commanding genius, but even with
respect to the platform on which be
he stood, the wisdom of the conven
ton has been overwhelmingly APP
proved by southern democrats.
Instead of losing votes in this sec
ton, it is shown by the returns that
$50, 900 more votes were cast for the
democratic ticket in the last election
than in 1892 The following table
gives the exact figures:
