Dr. Caz publishes in the Revue des Revues, under the title "And the Blind Shall See" ft marveloua discovery of Prof. Peter SUens, who claims to have found the secret of restoring sight to the blind by an apparatus of bls inventlon.' It not only restores the. slghi of those who bave ost it, but also to those born blind. - . - - Dr. Caxa explains bow Prof. Steins tested the invention. by blindfolding him and taking him into a dark room. He could see nothing, but beard the professor profes-sor walking backward and forward striking matches and lighting a lamp. He then felt the professor fix an apparatus around Ms temples, and Instantly he saw a dim. light by which he could distinguish surrounding objects. Soon the light became stronger and the doctor could count the Angers of bis band held up before him and count the number of the chairs ia the room. , Just as be was feeling that if the experience were continued be would recover re-cover his normal clearness' of vision, the professor suddenly removed he apparatus ap-paratus and the doctor was plunged in total darkness. Prof. Steins shows that man sees with his brain, not his eye. The latter only serves to receive the image which the ontic nerve transmits to the seat of perception. ' If, then, the image is transmlttlble to the brain without eyes, the blind can see as well as anybody. Prof. Steins' apparatus has the same scientific scien-tific basis as the telephone, and in it the transmission of light rays plays a part identical with that performed by the telephone in the transmission of sound waves. '- Many medical men have experimented with the apparatus, but none can explain the astounding results obtained. ,. |
