ROY SEES CHINGS UPSIDE DOWN
Richard Kenealy, eight-year-old schoolboy, of Bedwyu, Illinois, is the victim of the strangest eye defect yet discovered. He sees all moving objects upside down. Doctors from all parts of the country have examined him, but they are unable to name his affliction. Yet they are curing it. The trouble is in Richard's' right eye. In a normal person the otitic nerve rights in the brain the up-ended impression which appears on the retina of Hie eye. In Richard’s ease the optie nerve of his right eye fails lo function, and the image received by his brain is Hie same as that appearing on the retina. The reason that only moving objects are upset in Richard’s mind, the doctors believe, is because the impression which a moving object makes on the optic nerve does not Insl long enough lo be turned around. Richard is pretty good al most games, bin when he plays football he is apt lo grab an opponent round Hie neck when be intends to tackle him round the knees.
