of his day. He also translated several
| works and the Venerable Bede tells of
poems that were written in the Irish Ian
guage by the king.
There is no question but that King
Alfred was n Of the greatest soldiers
ENGLAND has ever known. In his conflict
with the Danes he always fought against
heavy odds. Time after time he was de-
feated by superior numbers, but he al
ways succeeded in rallying his military
genius, he not only routed the Danes but
their king. Gothrun. with many of his
followers, accepted Christianity and were
baptized.
1t was not only as a great military
leader that King Alfred proved his cana
bllltltles. however. In his work upon the
sea his genius was as clearly shown,
When the marauding Mortimer swept
down upon England the king saw that it
would be hopeless to attempt to cope with
the ~freebooters with the small boats at
his command. He, therefore, proceeded to
invent a naval vessel that was far SUPER
ior to anything that had yet been con-
ceived and the forces that he sent out in
these ships were so successful in several
engagements that attacks by the sea soon
ceased. In one battle alone no less thar
12O Danish ships We're sunk and all on
board We're lost.
In speaking of King Alfred's naval
geniusTon historian has said:
"To Alfred may be attributed the glory
of laying the foundation of England's
naval greatness and of building England
a fleet OF effective power. BY means OF
vessels formed after a model of his own,
of unusual length and speed, he succeeded
in curbing his Danish foes and inflicted
great damage on them in S97 on the south
e.. coast"
! When Alfred died he was buried in
! Winchester cathedral. A few years later
his remains We're removed to a monastery
founded by him and they there remained
until they We're deposited in Hyde Abbey
by order of Henry J.. During the Refor-
nation this abbey was destroyed by tbs
reformers SO that the exact position OF
the grave of the great king is not known
1t is upon the site of this abbey. how.
ever, that he statue of King Alfred will
be erected and there the celebration viii
be held.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-11-25

My invention may be compared in Ger
tain respects to the telephone, which re-
ceives an impression of the human voice
and reproduces it artificially somewhere
else.
1.-The full development of this inven-
tion and the principles upon which it is
based will lead. l hope. to many Won
derful results. The invention will not
I only be valuable in enabling the blind to
see. but it will convey the image of a
scene miles away. just as the telephone
conveys the voice. In a slightly varied
form it will enable the deaf to hear.
II may point out that the mere fact
that we can see images in our dreams
IN the dark and with our eyes closed is
proof of the possibility of seeing without
eyes as we at present understand them
In order to fully understand the nature
of the difficulties that must be overcome
by the inventor of such an instrument it
is necessary to know something of the
construction of the eye. TO use a crude
illustration, the human eye may be rom
pared to Il camera. d camera in it's sim
pleSt form. 1t has an outer Transparent
part which is called the cornea. The
colored portion is the iris. The black
spot in the middle of the eye is the pupil,
and this is the hole through which the
light passes to reach the lens. The vitre-
Gus hu.nor. the substance with which
the eyeball is filled. plays little part in
this study, although it is of the utmost
Importance in the proper distcnSion of
the globe of the eye. Back of the eye
ball is the retina. on which the image
presented before the eye is received. and
it is the rctina that communicates di-
rectly with the brain by means of the
optic nerve. In comparing the human
eye to Ii camera it may be said that the
eycball takes the place of the dark box:
that tho convex lens of the camera is
represented by the lens that lies just
back Of the iris, while the retina takes
the place of the ground glass screen.
1t is IL we'll known fact that the brain

dwell IN darkness may have the veil lift

walk. Will science now be able to make

AT the first thought this proposition
seems SO nrenosterous as to be impossi-
bic. and yet if the reports that have
come to us from London are not eXag-

this is q fact the TIM is probably not

10O0tl Anniversary Of KING Alfred
AND THE PART AMERICA WILL PLAY IN THE GREAT COMING CELE-
BRATION IN ENGLAND.

Such are. the elaborate preparations
that have been made for the celebration
Of the Alfred millennial but much OF the
interest in the event in this country CEN
tiers upon the part that America Is to play
in the ceremonies. At present this mat
ter is largely in the hands Of Professor
John w. Bright Of Baltimore, who has
been appointed secretary for America.
He is now in England where he is con-
ferring with the members of the executive
| committee and when he returns. next
| month, America will know that one AM
erican society is to have a place OF honor
in all the ceremonies, for an invitation
! has already been extended to the order
| of the Crown to act as a participant IN
the events.
The Order Of the Crown, while strictly
an American organization. is composed OF
persons who claim descent from Alfred
. the Great, Charlemagne. William the
: C%onquerer, or some of the great souvenirs
of old. Miss Henrietta Lynde Farms
worth Of Detroit is the founder and is
herself a lineal descendant Of Alfred the
Great.
One of the objects of Professor Bright
visit to England is to see if similar invi-
tations will not be extended to other AM
erican societies, for there are several
patriotic organizations in this country
hat would be glad to participate in the
celeDfatlOn. VI course tnefe are io'
many like the Order of the Crown and Tho
American Order of ~Runnymede, the mem
bers of which are lineal descendants
through the barons of the plantagenei
kings of England. and yet there are sew
eral that can boast of we'll authenticated
colonial ancestry and. through that, back
to a long English line.
King Alfred was born at Vantage, Ii
Berkshire, in $40. and died. at the 6 OF
50, in the year 901. OF his personal his
tory the data obtainable are very meagre
not even an authentic picture of. him hav.

plays a most important part in the work
Of the eye. Like the camera the eye
! presents it's images to the retina upside
down, and it is the duty of the brain to
develop them in such a way that they
will appear right side up. It may also
be proved that pictures may be seen by
the eye and yet not be developed by the
brain, but such pictures are absolutely
useless, as they make no impression
upon us. In other words, it is ar unde-
niable fact that 1t is the brain that
really does the seeing, while the eye
merely acts as an instrument to facilitate
the process. Under these circumstances
it is reasonable to believe that DR.. Stems
may have discovered one of nature' Sc
crets and have invented an instrument

pie camera that enables us to see. If
our so-called knowledge Of the relations
between the brain and the eye is not en-

a possibility.
In regard to the actual value Of DR..
Stems invention, 1t Is impossible to
speak with so much assurance at the
present time. We have seen no test of
the instrument, n What we have is
hearsay evidence In regard to tests, the
conditions Of which we now little.
From the reports that ave come to us,
however, It would seem as If the doctor
had actually been successful in carry
ing his theory to It's logical import. Be-
fore several scientists and journalists
he has made blind men see, and he has
even securely blindfolded men with per-
feet sight and has made them see images
that could not be seen before the instru-

OF course 1t is not surprising. consid-
