14. Walter S. Brown, aet. 4, night-blind, and slightly strabismic. 

 Of him Miss E. L. Brown, his sister, writes: "Brother cannot see 

 anything out of the light at night, except that on bright nights he can 

 see anything between him and the sky. I took him out of doors one 

 night and noted that he could see the wind-mill, trees, houses, fences, 

 etc., but at the same time he could not distinguish his express wagon, 

 his kitten or other objects on the ground. He tries to count the stars 

 and the lights in other windows, so I am sure that he is less night-blind 

 than some of the Floyd and Hobily children. He is not short-sighted 

 at all, but his eyes do not focus together. This was more noticeable 

 when he was a bab}', but he has outgrown it until it is only noticeable 

 when he looks up."
