SEES WITH EYES SHUT.
"My strangest ease," said a well known oculist recently, "is a woman who can only see with her eyes shut. Her eyes are normal except in one respect—the nerve that conveys the image to the brain has become misplaced. This woman's eyes are bright and clear. Tliey perform all their functions properly. Thev dart about, regarding the sunset, the sea, everything; but, on account of .their misplaced nerve, they see nothingnothing whatever. Yet let the woman close her eyes, and the last object gazed upon is clearly visible to her, She sees with her eyes closed. She looks at you, and everything is black. She seals up her lids, and there you are, distinct and bright beforo her."
