BY ARTHUR BENNINGTON.

OPE of sight for the blind
came flashing across the At
lantic a few weeks ago when
Il i the cables brought brief ac-
count Of the extraordinary discovery
by Louis Farigoule of eyes all over
the body, with which after a little
training men can see at least fairly
we'll.
The announcement was received
with q certain amount of incredulity.
for no anatomiSt had ever before
heard of such secondary eyes. But
detailed account of Farigoules DEM
onstratlon, written by DIR. Jean La
badie, is now at hand and reading it
certainly jolts ones incredulity, II
indeed 1t does not convince one of the
truth of the facts alleged by the dis
coverer.
NJ Farigoule is a graduate in phil
osophy and a former student in the
science branch of the normal school.
Under the pseudonym of Jules Ro-
mains he is we'll known as poet,
dramatist and novelist
He has demonstrated his discovery
at the Cochin Hospital. Paris, before
oculists in France. and the recital OF
the facts observed at these seances is
attested by the names of DR.. Catonet,
chief of the hospital; DR.. de Saint
Martin. opthalmologist of the Tou-
louise hospitals: Prof. Legrand, Drs.
Stevenard, Foubert, Fombeurre, etc
all of whom are well known in
France.
NJ Farigoule gave a special demon
stration for DR.. Jean Labadie, one of
the best writers on scientific topics,
and a few others. And DR.. Labadie
contributes long and important
article upon it to ILLUSTRATION.
The man used for this demonstra-
tfon was not blind. but perfectly nor
NAL and we'll educated He was not
a medium" for there is nothing of
the occult or the so-called supernor-
NAL about the new theory of extra
retinal sight. Only a trained person
can be used for demonstrating it,
because. If such power of sight exists
in all of us, 1t is latent and we know
not how to exercise it until We have
been trained in its use.
NJ. Farigoule explains that the i'm
portant fact which IS brought out by
his discovery is the necessity of
patient education after d difficult
awakening of latent function Of
our organism, or the t-ansposition of
this function from a special condition
such as somnambulism into the ordi-
nary state of clear knowledge.
NJ. Farigoule begins by hypnotizing
his subjects. but gradually relaxes
his artificial hypnosis until the sub
3ects have learned to place them
selves into this condition. He says
we all hypnotic ourselves every time
that We concentrate on any act or
thought, and 1t is just this natural
condition that he works to bring
about.
NJ. Farigoule has others blindfold
his subject by successively sealing
the eyelids with opaque paper. with
white adhesive silk placed horizon
tally and vertically crosswise. a band
of black silk padded with cotton bat
ting, and a pair of big spectacles
made Of lead covering all. The lead
stops the passage of any X-rays that
might possibly be present.

the body. Thus we, II trained to It,
might see" with our fingers or with
our noses!
It seems that the membranes OF the
nose are extraordinarily rich in
ocelles. This may mean q close link
ing Of the sense OF sight, smell and
touch.
Many blind men have spoken and
written OF that sense which enables
them to perceive obstacles and thus
to find their way about. Children in
homes for the blind have been pic
tured playing like any children in
groves of trees. It may be that Louis
rarigoule has found the explanation
Of this mysterious sense and that II
may exist in all OF US. lying dormant
for want OF use, and awaiting only
education to serve as q substitute for
our eyes.

m. Farigoule asks US to arrange in

has brought with him. This combi-

sible to invoke a thought transmits
sion' We decided to pick at random.
without looking at 1t, leaf from the
mass Of a calendar that hung upon
the wall. Then we go into the dark
room and place the leaf under the
frame and return this to the subject
without looking at it. No one in the
room knowing the date on the leaf
from the calendar, no thought trans
mission can now be invoked.
Thus 1t is done. hand tho frame
to the subject, who soon replies cor
rectly: Sunday, May co. The man
who had detached the leaf cries:
Why, I thought I had picked down
near the end of the year!' This re-
mark banishes finally the hypothesis
of mental intercommunication
I'VE pass on to the use of an in
strument devised by NJ. Farigoule.
He calls II q peep show 1t Is like

set. The subject with the peep show
in his hands must describe to US
what he sees there.
II install a queen Of clubs. the deuce
OF clubs and the Of diamonds.
These objects are placed in the
three dimensions Of space, and not
merely in two. as in the glazed frame.
Naturally, he is not permitted to feel
with his fingers.
II observe, besides. that In the po-
sition in which the subject holds the
stage not one direct visual ray could
pass between the object and his eye
even IL his eye, instead OF being
sealed. were simply veiled with an
ordinary bandage, even II he could
use the hollow inevitably left by the
bandage at the root of the nose. as

lighted condition, but says he can no
longer see the cards.
This group OF msthodical though

subject sees form and colors In space.

so much for discipline as 1t calls for

the part of the senior member to get

To undertake to do so is, in my belief,
mistake. But we can seek, largely
by example. to guide into good chan

our names and the strain Of our blood

ficient job for any man or any woman,
and to my way Of thinking, q most
laudable one.

that it must not be used too heavily.
