Has a Day and a Night Eye.

A year ago the 11-year1oId son Of
Oliver Canaday, farmer living near
here, was kicked over the right eye by
mule. 1t destroyed the sight in that
eye. A month ago, while working in
hay left, he got dust in his good eye
and waa compelled to bandage it for
some time. During that time the blind
eye seemed to undergo change, and
he was able to see objects in a dark
room. He finally was able to see things
in dark room as plainly with his bad
eye as he was able to see them in the
light with his good but crippled eye.
He cannot, however, see anything with
the bad ere in the light. The darker
the room the more distinctly do things
stand out. He is, in short, fitted with
a day and night eye. Since he found
what a freak he possessed on his right
side he has been educating it and he
finds it rather convenient to be sup
piled with eyes for all occasions. The
eye that was injured is in appearance
as good as the other, though the sight
for day use is entirely gone. Those
who have given the strange case an
examination state that it is without an
equal in optical enigmas. It is thought
that the same theory will account for
this as that which accounts for man
being able to see the stars when in the
bottom of deep well or hole.-Chicago
Chronicle,
