NEW York, Jan. 1.-The Herald

glimmer OF light to eyes that were
sight1ess for ten years. The subject OF
the test was John +. Martin, who, by

The blind man, although he had
grown accustomed to the experiments,
was visibly nervous as he was placed

srope was placed at his eyes and the
Xray turned on. There WAS an In.
stance of vicious swapping Of the cur

the room strained to watch the face Of
the man in front OF the electric glare.
At length DR.. Edson sail, "Do you
see anything?"

darkness, and he was lead to a seat to
compose himself before the experiment
was continued. DR.. EIsOn questioned
him about the effect of the ray, but
the blind man only repeated that he
had seen light. Again the Horoscope
was placed at his eyes. This time he
received the impression OF light more
