J Paris.--Making the blind see is q
marvel that may be wrought at Nice
Profound hope Of scientists in the
| success of remarkable invention by
NJ. Kahn, q Polish savant who is y
soldier in the Foreign Legion, has
been expressed in the "Eclaireur de
Nice"
The invention is small apparatus
in the form of a half.mask. 1t IS
placed over the face Of the blind man
and is connected by wires with a port
able electrical induction apparatus.
Lenses, total-reflection prisms, a cam
era filtering light rays and phosphor-
escent plaques complete the seeing
machine"
The basis for the invention is:
First, there are no Opaque bodies;
that is to say, certain light rays can
render objects visible through a
screen.
Second, blindness, even in the most
serious cases, 'amputation of the eye,
does not bring about the insensibil-
ity of the optic nerve, which as long
as it is living remains susceptible to

Mr.. AsuuIth's Defeat.

The returns OF the British elections
show a victory for the Lloyd George
Government even greater than was
expected. Coalition, the political off.
spring Of the war, is a lusty child
the ancient parties dwindle.
The tragedy OF the hour is the de-
feat of Mr.. AsoUITH, a member of
Parliament for more than thirty years
and the greatest Liberal since GLAD.
STONE. 1t is one of the iron!es that
a British constituency, in the moment
Of the exaltation of democracy, should
defeat the statesman who sheared the
Lords of their power to rule the ma
ton. 1t Is unfortunate that Parlia-
ment, at the moment when the Irish
question looms darkest, should lose
the man who as Premier came so
close to solving that problem that per
haps only the war prevented him
from so doing.
IT was n war election and a wa
victory. How curious It Is that

A correspondent who signs himself

life he has looked forward to retiring
eventually. when the stress Of work Is

that Is 4 county community with broad
shaded streets. white houses and green
blinds. where ne might find a cheerful.
d!gnihed and easy going environment
for the remainder OF his years.
He points out that as he has spent

oils for occasional stimulus ard in

he within fifty miles OF Manhattan.
But, alas! no has come to the regret
full conclusion that no such settlement
now exists. Suburbia does not appeal
10 him. lie wants the old fashioned
white and green village that we read
about IN story books and that un-
doubtedly sull exists at n greater dis
lance from New York.
What he has in mind is the typical
New England village, which is a diff
ferent thing from tho Middle States
village. We have nothing to say
against the latter: It has its peculiar
attractiveness, and this attractiveness
sometimes deepens into real charm. But
It Is "a different from the New England
hill town as cheese is from molasses-
though it ought TO be added that there
are some New York state communities
which. owing their origin to a direct
New England migration, come close TO
tho New England standard Of excel
lence. We have heard. for instance,
that C-anandaigua is like the charac-
~terIst!c dIEnifed town OF this part OF
the country.
II Gems az II "a Lost Man" could
DO no better than 10 seek his Village

Inside the Organ.

And waits the bursting Of . wrathful

Then TO the console came The organise,
Drew the ranged stops. and from the

And thunderous pedals hurled such
tempest blast
OF shrilllng, roaring tumuit on my ears.
Where l stood prisoned in the cave OF
sound,
That scarcely would my limbs support
their frame.
The diapason shook the trembling iesh,
Bombards and tuba beloved In their
might
With unda marts hcaving undcr6oot
Posaune clamored with its braAsy din.
The trumpets FLASHED In plangent battle
call,
And ophicleide and ooee blsred their
strength
GAMBIA and cello rasped their ~rosinous
chords,
The q~ulntadena fiung its high complaint.
And like wild storm birds shriekcd tho
niccoloi
Yet when 1 came from that d~iscordant
place
I fou.d rap listeners IN the dim church

Who said a noble anthem had been
played.
And marvelled at the organs harmon

So may the tumult Of these troublous
years
Wherein mems spirits are 80 SOTO BE-
sieged,
And racked with clamor OF rude disso-

Become to listeners IN q later time
The surging ground swell Of high eu-

That merges discords in sonorous chime.
And hears tho vox humans passionate

soothed by the rapture of the voix

such a spot, where Sunday Is Sunda
where the only sound on q midsummer

where quiet reigns supreme; where

and where they still burn autumn

We are free, while our sovereignty is
