A marvellous discovery, if one may credit it, due to Professor Peter Stiens, is made public by Dr Caze in the Reve des Revues, under the title "And the Blind Shall See." The - professor claims (says the Mail's Paris correspondent) to have found out the secret of restoring sight to the blind by a wonderful apparatus of his own invention, which not only restore? sight to those who have lost it, but gives it to those who have never beheld the light. Protes'sor Stiens shows that a man sees not with the eye but with the brain. The eye only only transmits to the seat of perception. If, then, an image can be transmitted to the brain without the help of the eye, a blind man will see as well as anyone else.

At Winton (says the Record) there is a dearth of farm hands for harvesting purposes, and no applications are being made even for the high price offering of Is 4d per hour. Farmers have, in consequence, to make shift as best they can, and work very long hours. The Woodville meeting of householders passed a resolution asking the Education Board to urge upon the Government the necessity of increasing the grants to Boards.
