SEES ONLY AT NIGHT.
A Virginia Boy Is Totally Blind in the
Day Time

Richmond, Va. Nov. 9.-Medical
experts are interested in the cases of
19-year-old Aubrey Wilson of Motto
way county, who is totally blind in the
day but can see like a cat in the dark
ness. The young man can speed
bicycle when the night is so dark that
ordinary people have to walk with
caution, but in the day he gropes
about with no distinction of colors.
Because of his peculiar inf1rmity the
young man is noted as a possum
hunter. He can distinguish the
animals in the trees in the dark as
readily as a dog can follow the scent.
1t is called the albino eye he says.
