LIES DOWN TO SEE.
All Is Darkness to This Man When He
Is Standing.

New York. July 2s.-On a cot in
the Manhattan eye, ear and throat
hospital is a patient suffering from an
extraordinary form of blindness. He
spects is not only healthy and vigor-
Gus, but trained athlete While he
is standing or sitting in an upright po-
s1tion he is almost totally blind, but
while lying recumbent. he sees objects
distinctly and with his normal visual
powers. That has been his strange
condition for about six months and
for that period he has remained most
of the time in a recumbent position.
In its cause as well as in its ef-
feet, this peculiar form Of sightless-
ness is remarkable. The patient
whose name the hospital phyuicians
prefer not to reveal, was a member
basket ball players. In the course Of
one of the match games the ball
struck him sharply in the eye, causing
a brief suspension of play, but the
blow seemed neither serious nor pain
full.
mishap, and for a time appeared to
suffer no ill-effects. Later hiH eye
sight began to trouble him and then
the peculiar condition developed
which made him sightless except
when lying down.
AS soon as he noted his falling
sight the young man consulted spec
ialists ARD when the condition of
sightlessf ass developed, it was decid-
ed that she blow from the ball had 50
affected the retina and other parts OF
the inner eye as to disturb the delicate
adjustment of these organs and to
cause the peculiar result noted, the
retina being thrown. out of its proper
relation when the patient held his
head in certain positions.
For six months the young man has
been under special treatment by a
new X-Ray process. known as the x
Ray flashes and the results are re-
ported to be so encouraging as to
warrant the belief that within another
period of six months his sight may be
completely restored.
