RAIN ON THE TREES
It is common knowledge that the : | senses of hearing and smell are very J 1 highly developed in the blind. A blind man is said to bo able to r 3 his way round London (which is; I not so remarkable), but it was inter- | esting to ht-ar the other day (it was? J an official of the National Institute for '• | the Blind who said it) of a blind botan- ■» ist who was able to tell the kind of tree ; lie was standing under simply by hear- | ing the sound of the rain on tfye leaves! i A joy in store for blind people is a-, i Braille edition of Songs of Wild Birds j with gramophone records, which has' j recently been prepared by the National Institute for the Blind in England. |
