Sees Only With Eyes Closed.

"My strangest case" said the ocu
list, sis a oma who can only see
with her eyes shut. Her eyes are
normal except in one respect-the
nerve that conveys the image to the
brain has become misplaced.
"This woman's eyes are bright and
clear. They perform all their func.
tons properly. They dart about, re.
garding the sunset, the sea, every
thing, but on account of their mis-.
placed nerve they see nothing-noth.
ing whatever.
"Yet let the woman close her eyes
and the last object gazed pom is
clearly visible to her. She sees with
her eyes closed. She looks at you
and everything is black. She seals up
her lids, and there you are, distinct
and bright before her."

A Toronto dispatch states that DR..
Goodwin Kingston, in a report to the
Bureau of Mines in Ontario, Can,
says:
ut is my duty to direct attention
again to the alarming amount of IL
literacy in some of our settled dis
tricts. This is shown by the fact that
at some mines fully half of the mer
cannot sign the payroll. These are
mostly, too, natives of the district in
which they work. If these illiterate
men were all middle-aged it might
be hoped that they were a product of
conditions from which the province
has emerged, but many of them are
young, some, indeed, mere lads"
