It is easy to sup pose that they would; bo timid at the thought of making q^peech, because they can hear what they arc saying, and know exactly what the sense of hearing is in their audience; but they can never com- |hp^d sight £$c$pt in 'aVeryi Imperfect, ay, and they can not, or course, do con- fejiJjy seeing £vhat they themselves arc "It Is a mistake to suppose that nature compensates for imuuueaa by making the other senses moro acute, ” ho continued. ‘There is a superstition that a blind man can attain a nicer sense of hearing and of touch than a man who is blessed with tho me of his pyos. There have been many pretty things said about the beneficence of a system that divided the energy that be longed to a lost sense among the senses that remained.
