Thus when wo suddenly strike our heads or fuevs against something In the dark wo seo "stars," or bright sparks, which wo know aro not real lights, though they aro quite as bright aud sparkling as if thoy wero. When wo close one eye and look straight ahead nt some word or Utter In tho middle of this page, for xample, we seem to o not only tho thing wo aro looking nt, but every thing lo Immediately about It and for a long way on each side. Hut tho truth Is there Is n largo round spot omowheto near tho Klnt nt which wo are looking In which wo sen nothing.

Then his arm resumed Its uoruml condition, and he started on the trail once more. After awhile he came uon tho deer n -ond time, sud again tho hunter tried to raise bis rltto, nnd ngalti his arm refused to serve hlui. Then he gave It up and went home, Impressed with a sense of awe and a couvlutlou that he had better leave that particular deer alone.
