Blind Horses.

The manner in which blind horses get about without coming to more harm than they do is remarkable. They rarely, if ever, hit their heads against a fence or stone wall, and will sheer off when they come near one. It appears from careful obser- vation, that 1t Is neither shade nor shelter which warns them of the dan ger. On an absolutely sunless and windless day their behavior is the same. Their olfactory nerves doubt less become very sensitive, for they will poke their heads downward in search of water fifty yards before they come to a stream crossing the road way.
 It cannot be an abnormally devel- oped sense of hearing which leads them to do this, for they will act alike though the water be a stagnant pool. Men who have been blind for any great length of time develop some what similar instincts to blind horses
