STEINS'S DISCOVERY

Oculists of Paris Inclined to He

SPECIAL BY CABLE To THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
Paris, March S.-tCopyright. 1893. )-Atten-
ton has been called to the experiments be-
ing made by Professor Stems with his ap-
paratus for restoring sight to the blind
the first mention Of which vas made some
months ago.
Professor Steins's experiments are still GO
ing on, and according TO Mr. Finol. editor
of La Revue. formerly OF La Revue des
Revues. which gave the first news of what
had been accomplished, those who have
seen the experiments believe that Profess
sor Stems has accomplished a great deal
and will do much more.
Nevertheless there are some well-known
oculists In Paris who are inclined 20 be
somewhat skeptical TO the value Of the
and one of these IL Doctor George ]. Hull.
Il have never heard of Professor Stems
or OF Doctor Gaze" said Doctor Bull. ''and
after reading the substance of what the lat
ter says / am convinced there il nothing
at all In it.
at is easy to convey an impression of
light 10 the brain If a certain kind Of in
strument is applied to the forehead. Tlis

the temple II is more than probable that
the person experimental with would have
the Image OF the lamp in his mind and pos
sibly under the influences of the suggestion
he might think he could count figures and
even objects in a room
He might even reach a point where he
was beginning to feel that he could see
everything. IL is very unfortunate that the
experiment with Doctor Gaze should have
been interrupted at critical a moment"

Doctor Wallace reasons much as as
trolosers of the Fourteenth Century did. be-
lieving they had attained the limit of AS
Economical discovery.
As matter OF fact. our conquests in this
respect are as nothing compared with the
immensely OF nature.
As for the deduction that because We live
40 well on earth our planet is the only
habitable one. and that life is possible on
the terrestrial globe alone. 1 can only say
that 1t Il not good science.
1t Is rather the reasoning Of fish, con-
WINGED that nothing can live except In wa
ter ! am inclined to believe the Industrious
greater reasons than those We have as vet
been permitted to study on which TO base
his conclusions.
At present | am unable TO explain how he
could otherwise arrive at such a narrow
and light deduction.
BY G. NJ. SEARLE.
New York Feb. THE article by Mr..
Wallace Oh Mans Place in the Universe
has attracted a most unusual amount of
attention and interest. This. no doubt. ia
partly due to the nnquestioned eminence If
the author scientific man; but perhaps
even more 20 the conclusion at which he
arrives. which seems to himself and prob
ably to most people. as one materially help
ing to remove astronomical difficulties in
the way of the Christian religion.
This interest Is very gratifying to al! be-
levers. for 1t seems to show that great
many people wish to have such difficulties
removed that they really desire to believe.
what We hope than in what We fear to he
true. We want to know the one and ig-
more the other.
The article in question. however, has not
really quite the strength or weight which
1t is supposed to have. 1t does not rest on
any discoveries recently made. The author.
though most distinguished in his own de-
partment of science. is not specialist in
astronomy. and the real facts he adduces
simply those given In textbooks. His
main thesis as to the central position OF the
sun IN the universe. so far as 1t is really
warranted by the facts. Is one already COM
monty accepted.
That the universe has a limit. SO that a
central position is possible. is fairly legit-
innate conclusion obtained from the fact
that there are fewer stars than we ought to
find of the very faint brilliancy, now made
visible by our large telescopes. than there
would be IL such were not the case and
also from another consideration. 1t is hard
ly worth while to explain this matter more
thoroughly here Mr.. Wallace has done so
very clearly. but in this he. OF course. claims
10 originality.

Of all. let say that Doctor Wallace. jas
a great naturalist and eminent savant has
my very highest esteem and sincere rever-
ence II Is. therefore. a matter of regret
to me TO be In such utter disagreement with
his reasoning and deductions in the pres
ent matter.
From a scrutiny OF his arguments it would
appear that his fundamental proposition, is
that our planet is at the center of the
Universe, and that the end and purpose of
creation was our humanity.
To establish this proposition, Doctor Wal
lace declares that our sun is the center of
a glObular star cluster, and that this star
cluster occupies nearly the central position
In the plane of the Milky Way.
| regret to say in this he has doubly
erred
In the first place our sun does not con-
stitute part of a gobular star cluster.
Secondly il is not at the center OF the
plane OF the Milky Way.
The distance of thirty stars is known to
us The nearest. for example Is Alpha
Centauri, which Is forty-one trillion kiiome-
tres away. The furthest is 1880. Groom
bridge, which is no less than eighty hum
bred triIion kilometres distant.
Now, 1t would be scarcely permissible
for one to say that these thirty stars,
scattered around at intervening distances.
form a cluster Then. besides. these stars
themselves cannot be considered as go many
masses they being formed of many, many
thousands of other stars. such as the con-
stellation of Hercules, which you may see
any fine evening with simple spyglass.
On the second point We are not at the
center of the Milky Way. as TO the exact
form of which We are still In DOUBT
We are In its middle plane. 1t is true,
but appreciably distant from the center.
An inhabitant of the nearest star. such
as Alpha Centauri or 81, cygni, would
have the same right as You or / to
imagine himself at the center of the Milky
Way
Moreover. to suppose that the present
limits of science correspond 20 the limits
of the universe. it strikes me as somewhat
fauciful for as the telescope becomes
stronger and the Photographic plate more
sensitive. man can penetrate further and
still further into the abyss OF space.
