BLIND NAN SEES" With NOSE
Making UP for the Loss Of Sight, Ma

A blind man can "see with his nose"
So. at least, writes blind man who
has made study OF his own faculties
and those of his companions in dark
ness.
The sense Of smelling among the
blind he says. grows exceedingly
sharp, and we utilize II instinctively
for our purposes. for which the nor
NAL man naturally uses his eyes. The
smell, IN particular, helps us In Gre
ating sense OF locality and enables
US, in region In which we are at
home TO find the way as easily and
surely AS II we could see the world
around us with our eyes. II Is rela-
lively easy for the nose, as there are
moi two streets that have the same
odor.
Not only has each street Its par
tlcular odor, but also the various parts
Of the same street nay, each house
has Its characteristic smell, and the
blind man knows in n street through
which he often comes where he Is.
For the recognition OF human beings
the sense OF smell Is likewise lnyalu-
able. Besides the special smells Of
cigars or perfumes, there are many
delicate scents by which he can rec
ognize men. Every material OF cloth
Ing has definite odor and with a
little experience the blind man can
see with his nose whether one wears
wool. silk or velvet"
