Hal pa
Blind persons have asserted that
they can determine when they are
opposite aq object and can per*
ceive whether it is tall or short,
slender or. bulky. They can also
determine whether it be fc solitary
object or a'continuous fence, wheth
er a ‘close fence or an open one and
sometimes whether a wooden fej^ce,
a stone wall or a hedge.
None of the five senses has any
thing to do with this perceptive
power, but the impressions are
made, so the blind declare, on the
skin of their faces and by the face
transmitted to the brain. This ex
traordinary sense has been called
“ facial perception.” The presence
of a fog interferes with facial per
ception, and it makes the impres
sions faint and untrustworthy.
Darkness, however, is declared to
be no impediment. A noise that
distracts the attention interferes
with the impressions. Many blind
persons possess the power, as they
pass along the street, of distinguish
ing shops from private houses ana
of doors from windows, if the win
dows consist o f a number o f panes
and not of a single sheet of glass.
A remarkable fact bearing on the
subject of an extraordinary sense is
mentioned by W. H. Levy, himself
blind. A naturalist extracted the
es of several bats and covered
e empty sockets with bits of
leather. In this condition the bats
flew about a room, avoiding the
sides and flying out of the door
without touching the doorcase. In
flying through a sewer that made a
right angle they turned at the
proper point. They flew through
threads suspended from the ceiling
without touching them, though they
were only far enough apart to ad
mit the passage of the bats’ extend
ed wings.— New York Press.

“ Yea; clear through to Atlanta.
