successful In the case OF Martin.
"A blind man will catch at anything that he
thinks will restore his sight said Mr.. Rouss yes

rangement. and thought II the experiment helped
Martin II might help me"
Martins mother lives In the rear tenement house
at No. 1872 EliZabeh-st.. and there the doctor
tried the experiment lie had leathern cup from
which bunch OF needle points darted every time
the cup squeezed Martin took of his clothes
and the doctor proceeded to use the terrible ma
chine OF torture until thousands OF needle pricks In
Martins flesh extended from his ears 10 his feet.
Martins flesh was much lacerated that he was
kept In bed for ten days. He suffered intense
agony but there no Improvement In his sight.
The doctor" then unfolded his plan. He said he
dd not expect that the experiment would make any
Improvement In Martins vision. but he wanted TO

Rouss that you can see much better" he said "and
then Will get the 800 and divide with you. Then
We VIII work between III and get more out OF him.

OF England graduate OF the Winchester Ringing
Guild Will be present to Illustrate the method Of

ciples to visitors.
The tones which produced from the chimes
are remarkably sweet. and. especially In the case

as they are called. each two inches In diameter
These suspended side by side from the top bar
OF framework which stands upright on the floor
They vary In length from four or five to feet

nat. in the dlatonic scale In front OF the top OF
each tube Is the hammer with which Il Is struck.

Sic at all would have difficulty In learning TO
