THE BLIND AND THE MUTILATED
By Dr.. ESTHER LovEJoY

IN the years to come this war will prove a blessing tOthe
blind. Anew world is being evolved. Nature has atleast
one extraordinary sense in reserve for those who lose any
of the FIVE ordinary senses. The blind feel things that are not
within reach. They are conscious of Vibrations that are not
p~erceptible to seeing men.
The sightless learn to read very quickly by the BaIle
method. 1t is interesting to watch the face Of a biTadman
as his fingers pass over the appraised dots Of a BrailAe book
and his mind perceives the mysteries recorded there for him.
They have special Topographic machines and specia3 print
ING presses. Books and magazines are translated into The
written language Of the sightless.
Men blinded in battle are acquiring great skill nhe
textile arts, as mouIders, and in other industries where a
highly developed sense Of touch is essential to good work
The higher type Of blind men have great personal
charm. Their souls seem nearer the surface. They are pc
culiarly beloved people. and their clairvoyance makes them
conscious of the kindness and affection with which they are
regarded. Naturally they react to it Perhaps that Bwhy
they usually seem 50 happy and cheerful
Unfortunately there are forms Of mutiation which
have the opposite effect. When a man knows that heBe-
pulsive to every man, woman and child who looks upon him;
when he shrinks from the reflection Of his own ~disfgnrd
face in the mirror, and shudders at the strange sound his
own voice, he wants to die.
A great deal is being done for these mutilated men.
They are being reftted with arms and legs Plastic surgery
is doing its part, too. in the way Of restoring palates, teeth
and facial contour, and the American Red Cross in Paris is
attempting to make life more Ivable for them by providing
masks which restore their original features. They will be
useful members Of society, but the soul Of man craves more
than service. Life and liberty are precious poSsessio but
the pursuit of happiness is the dearest right of mar. Weare
all alike. We want to go through life with the sweet illusion
that the blue bird Of happiness is just within reach, and this
illusion is almost impossible to the %disigured man.
1t is the sacred duty of all those who have been bene-
fitted by their sacrifice to leave nothing mdone to- restore
their usefulness; to employ every art to increase theirmen-
tai and physical powers and the charm Of persona lite, to
the end that their lives may be enriched rather than impov-
erished by the fortunes of war.

Barrier to Sight of Stars.

X theory gaining scientific accept ance is that in the void of interstellar T space there is substance which wells from our view the stars beyond a cer- tain limit of distance. Consisting pre- sumably of microscopic and widely scattered particles, it nevertheless makes barrier to vision when dis tances are sufficiently great.
 In other words, if we were far enough away from the sun there would be enough of these particles between ourselves and that luminary to render it invisible to us.
 Dr. c. G. Abbott of the Smithsonian institution said that the estimated density of this substance" is one tril- honth of that of the air we breathe. Pretty thin, one might say. And yet a sphere Gin space) whose radius was the distance from the earth to the star nearest to our solar system would con- tain quantity of the substances equal to 1000 times the mass of the sun!
