Boys Brain Inverted,
He Writes Backward

LONDON. Nov. ga boy with an in
verted brain. presenting many similari.
ties to . case reported In America, has
recently been discovered at Durham
school He sees everything upside
down, writes from right to left. inverts
letters and figures. and copies objects
the wrong way.
Tho boys teacher says that not only
does he write upside down. but he also
sees upside down. For instance. II he
a "y'' written backward: that Is to say,
he begins to form the letter at the tail
end and worlgsi backward. The same
operation takes place when he frames
such letters as ''u'' or "m," the effect
being that the letters are written as
m or w. respectively.
His mind acts In q similar topsy-
turvy manner when he II set to copy a
figure on an outline drawing. His read
ing, however. 10 not affected by his
brains peculiarity. Although 1t II evi-
dent that he sees the letters upside
down, they make apparently the same
impression on his mind as upon the
mind Of an ordinary boy. He can read
other child Of the same age Just learn
ing to read, write, or copy blackboard
Every effort has been made to alter
his abnormal method, but without sue
cess. The experts who examined the
American boy came to the conclusion
that his mind and sight were as a
camera obscura. in which everything
il projected upside down. and that Is
thought the explanation in the Dur
ham case.

THE MAN WITH A CROUCH

So it goes; in church, in busi-
ness, even in sport, the man
with a crouch opposes every JOY
with gloom. Unwilling to con-
cede that anything is pure, un-
adulterated good, he is busy al
ways hunting out the evil and
grumbling over his real or
fancied wrongs. He is some
times called a ''knocker," an
other expressive word with an
origin kin to that of "grouch."
To such a man nothing seems
to be right, nothing is free from
his ill-natured criticism. He is
always
Knocking the man that he sees on
the street,
Knocking his neighbor whenever
they meet,
Knocking at business, knocking at
play,
Knocking because he can't have his
own way,
Knocking the preacher and knock
ing the pew,
Knocking the man who dares differ
in view,
Knocking his enemy, knocking his
friend,
Until we all wish that his knocking
would end.
Some happy spirits are like
the birds in the treetops greet
ing the sunshine with songs of
joy, but the man with a crouch
is like the frog croaking at
night from a Shiny swamp
