MISS KELLER aND THE GIRAFFES 
Miss Keller has a vast knowledge which embraces many lines of thought; thoughts of birds, insects., 
flowers, animals, books and men. She seemed to know the bears, monkeys, lions, deer—in fact anything 
with which she came in contact—as we know them; they did not seem strange, unsolved forms. But the 
giraffes were a puzzle, and her rapt expression in the photograph was the first evidence that she gave of 
bewilderment. Her thoughts were pictured by the le^s of the camera and her expression affords a beau¬ 
tiful illustration of the marvelous mechanism of her brain struggling with this strange problem,—a brain 
tremendously more active than the average mortal’s brain.— E. R. S,
