Under the propitious conditions of our smooth

Under the propitious conditions of our smooth
asphalt pavements the use of the bicycle has
grown amazingly OF late In Washington, and
numbers OF young men, with their handsome
legs protected by leathern leggins, are to be
seen shooting around through the city, and
even extending their adventurous career to
the hilly drives OF the Soldiers Home grounds
Also under the fayorlng circumstances OF the
vast extent OF parking upon OR streets, the
young ladies are practicing archery with zeal
that promises to make the daughters OF Amer
lea as proficient with the bow and arrow as the
sons are With the rifle. At present they shoot
little wild, and as a consequence peo-
PIE passing upon the streets find 1t advIS.
able to keep prudent distance from the
range OF the targets; but all this win speedily
be remedied and we shall soon doubtless have
archery as firmly established in favor here as
1t has long been In England. The young peo-
PIE who are taking 1t up may like to know that
according to late writer upon the matter, the
distances usually taken In an archery match
are forty, sixty, eighty and one hundred yards,
the last named distance calling, however, for
considerable muscular power on the part of the
archer. 1t Is claimed by good authorities that
1t Is better for beginner to shoot at q target
one hundred yards distant than at one at forty
yards, for long range archer Is sure to be
good marksman at short range, while &c ia by
no means certain that one who can count on q
target at forty and sixty yards will be able TO
run up score on one which Is one hundred
yards removed.

Repeated investigations In England and In
this country give testimony to the prevalence
OF color blindness. A recent examination
among the employees Of railroads centering in
Philadelphia disclosed the fact that three and a
half per cent. OF them were unable to distin-
guish colors at all, and that eight and half per
cent. could not do so with sufficient accuracy to
make their employment safe. This is even
smaller percentage of cases than has usually
been discovered In such examinations, and may
fairly be taken to represent the extent to which
the disease prevails among railroad men,
Such condition of affairs might be ex-
pected to alarm timid public, but 80
many lfe-threatening horrors have been
shown to 1urk In the household that 1t /.
with feeling OF relief that the traveller,
escaping from them, puts his life In the hands
OF coior-blnd engineer. Efforts have been
made, however. to reduce the dangers of the
situation to minimum. A precautIon which
commends itself Is to test the vision of all an
phcants for service on trains. 1t is said that
system OF safety and danger signals independ.
emit OF color, has been devised for the New York
Metropolitan road. The position of the signal
and not Its color gives the necessary In
formation. At night light Is thrown upon
the signal which makes its position easily dis
tinguishable. As far as service upon roads
which still continue the use Of the color signals
sconcerned, form OF employment Is discovered
for which the colored race possesses in one re-
spect superior fitness. DR.. Burnett's examina-
tion of 5000 colored persons Of the District
showed, as stated In THE STAR, that the per-
centage of color blind among them was much
smaller than among corresponding number Of
whites. Here also will be promising, and, In
one respect, appropriate field of labor for some
OF the gentler sex, when they obtain through
ho ha lOf In rv1a
upon equal terms with men for employment on
railroads. Everyday observation and scientific
investigation, alike, show that women are far
keener In the discrimination Of colors than men,
and the percentage OF the color blind among
them Is very slight.

The decoration day sun, which early In the

amends at a later hour, as the number of red

1t Is hard to keep track OF the ups and downs
OF the Mexican exposition project. Not very
long ago cabinet minister was dismissed for
opposing the plan. The outlook now is that
another cabinet minister, an advocate of the

taking further steps In the matter Will be
dropped with him. This method OF procedure
may be truthfully styled revolutionary. If
