SEES LIKE A CAT.
Young Virginian Is Unable to Get
Around in Day Time.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 13--Medical ex-
per's are interested in the case of nine
tecn-year-old Aubrey Wilson, of Not
toWay county, who is almost blind In
the day, but cen see like cat in the
dark.
The young man can speed a bicycle
when the night is 50 dark that ordinary
people have to walk with caution, but
IN the day he gropes about able only
vaguely to distinguish any object, and
with no discrimination as to colors.
Because of his peculiar infirmity the
young man is noted as a nossum hun
ter. He can distinguish the animals In
the trees in the dark as readily as a
dog can follow the scent.
All his life Wilson has suffered from
this defect. He says it grows out of
too much light entering the eye. 1t is
called the albinO eye, he saws.
