NEW UNIVERSE IS
OPEN_FfIR BLIND
Children Who Have Been in Dark
ness Since Birth Taught To See
Through Finger Tips.
PHILADELPHIA. April 12.—How
would you feel If you had to use the
tips of your fingers to see the world
and the multitude of things that are
in it? says the picture on this page.
These blind children have never
seen a tree —
They have never seen a chicken —
They have never aecn a sheep or a
cow —
Thy have never ceen a river—
They have neve.- seen anything of
the great outdoors.
Now they’re getting acquainted--
through ttheir finger tips.
Anew world is being opened to
them in the Overbiook lusMtution fo
ihe Blind al Philadelphia. Now they
are beginning to ■‘w on the mirrors
of their brain the shape and genera’
appearance of # live and inanimate
kings which exist outside the walls o*
| their asylum.
They call it "examining'*—lt really
!s telegraphy.
The hands, passed over the j|fA of
an animal or the feathers of^*b/T.j r .i
telegraph to the brain the
general appearance of the object s •
"examined," and the blind boy or girl
from that hour knows exactly wha.
she animal or bird looks like. Thence
forth its name assumes an entirely
new meaning in the mind of the stu
dent.
In one of the class rooms at tm*
institute there is a variety of mounted
figures of birds and animals of the
everyday kind. One is a sheep. It is
pathetic to observe the delighted looks
on the faces of the blind boys r>» they
pass eager fingers over the woolly fig
ure on the table.
f Meanwhile the instructor explains: 1
"The wool you touch is the material
*rom which our clothes are made. The
sheep itself is the animal that, pro
vides us with our mutton. It Is th|
sheep that you hear ’baa-a ing' when
yon go to the park."
And so the lesson proceeds while
the students' busy fingers flutter over
the woolly figure, examining it with
keen interest.
In another part of the room a va
riety of mounted birds are placed
around at convenient heights. A
knowledge of the appearance of these
birds could be acquired by the eyes
In the Angers of the students. The
color of the birds’ plumage la ex
plained by the instructor and the chi!
dren are Introduced to the world of
feathered things—a world that would
remain a sealed book to most of then,
but for this clever method of enabling
them to see with their fingers.
The gfneral complaint of the «chool
teacher is the lack of interest on the
part of the average* child. The blind
student fairly bubbles over with en
thusiasm.
"How high can It fly?" they ask.
"Where does it build Its nest? What
does it eat? Can it hurt you with
tills shap beak** How does it art when
you go near it? Oh! do men shoot
them? What a shrine."
From the class rooms where cren
tores of the earth and sky pie studied
the children are taken to the wood
and fields and Into the fine gardens
adjoining the buildings. Here the
acquantance of Mother Earth is mad-j
at first hand.
Tt was strange to see n group of de-
I’ehtede children on their kneer exam
n Ing the course of a dried stream and
following It eagerly on its winding
road.
~Tn this way," explains the tnatruc
tor. "we teach them the course that
a river will take. We ranyot do thi <
!n any but a dried-up stream, but ’ y
examining with their hands the twist
ing bed of a brook that in waterless
the students cun acquire a thorough
knowledge of the way in whit h a
brook or river pursues Its wav, con
fined by the banks and winding where
Ii f will, in and out of the woods and
meadows."
Another group of students collect',
around a tree.
‘ By touch alone." said the teacher,
"the trained sense of these boys and
girls will In time enable them to name
a tree from its hark and loaves."

Government Counsel Begin* Rebuttal
Argument in Suit to Dissolve

ST. LOUIS. Mo.. April 10—The re
buttal urgument of Special Counsel
Kellogg in the Standard Oil case was
begun today.
Kellogg took up his argument short
ly after 10 o’clock. Ho said both
Rockefeller and Archbold were so bur
dened with details In the case they
could not remember anything Im
portant. Mr. Rockefeller could not re
member the grave matters that threat
ened his business, his honor and his
liberty. Kellogg continued:
"it was a pitiable sight. Neither of
these men could remem her what be
came of 123,000.000. Their counsel
has tried to laugh the disappearance
out of court by saying they will not
show, that through the defendant, the
country reaches the markets of the
world. N«> one will deny the ability
and tremendous energy ot‘ the Stand
ard. hut it did not develop the foreign
business. Exports of oil to Europe
have decreased in proportion to other
commodities as the control of th?
Standard Increased. When 1 asked Mr.
Archbold about the great development
the Standard brought aliout, he spent
half nn hour telling how they went
into the woods and • ut barrel staves."

WILD SCENES IN WHEAT
PIT; PRICES GO UP CENT
Patten Sell* May Wlieat But Suddenly
Begins to Buy July and September
Options.
CHICAGO. April 10. —The wheat ptt
experienced another wild market to
day. and at the close it threatened to
become a runaway affair. Purine: the
hour of trading there was groattu
pandemonium In the pit than an> day
this week ami in the wild rush to buy.
prices leaped up almost a cent at a
time.
The strange part of the session was
the fart that May wheat which has
been the center of activities this week,
was scarcely affected, the buying be
ing almost exclusively in July and Sep
tember.
Th*» excitement was occasioned by
another sudden move by James A
Patten. Everybody had expected him
to sell May wheal cautiously, in line
with his recently inaugurated policy
of unloading hi* long line of May while
the price* were high. He did sell
May, bu» he suddenly also began to
buy July and September wheat in en
ormous quantities.
At the outset, the bears were inclin
ed to fight the advance in July and Sep
tember by selling freely, but during
the last hour they apparently gave up
the attempt and suddenly everybody
wanted to buy at the same time Th •
result was a very panicky market and
intense excitement in the pit. Trail
ing in May wheat was forgotten alto
gether in the frantic efforts of brok
ers to "get in’* on the more distant
months.
