Testing she Eyes of AN RaIlroad Vsvu.
PIOYeess
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Railroad accidents have been sscribed
to many causes, but rarely, IL ever, does
the reader of public prints learn of an ac-
cident attributed to color blindness. And
yet such defect in the eyes of a locomo-
tive engineer has caused disaster and
death. Cases where one train Fellowship
another and telescopes the rear cars are
far more numerous than collisions, where
two locomotives butt against each other.
In these days of double tracks the latter
are almost impossible.
The other could be prevented at times
if the engineer was able to distinguish
the warning light ahead. But he cannot.
He mistakes red for green and green for
red; he confuses blue and green; he con-
POUNDS almost everything except white
light A colored 1ag that should stop
him he discerns as one which indicates a
clear track. The defect is therefore vital.
Upon trafnman's inability to distin-
guish signal depends the safety Of, the
travelling public. .a .s4
To insure this, and also to examine as
to the proportion of population afflicted
with color blindness, the eminent occu-
list, DIR. p. d. ,Keyser, Surgeon Of Wills
Hospital, has undertaken the task ofstest-
ing the eyes of all the employees of the
railroads that center in this city, A re-
porter was curious to learn just what
proportion of the traiu-men were thus
effected, so he called at the Doctors Of
flee last evening. In the parlor were
r . lor Of fho
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Line. The railroaders said this ex-
animation of their eyes had been going on
for quite period.
The news-gatherer was kindly permit
ted to witness some of the examinations,
as we'll as to. have his own eyes tested.
The important requisite for a railroader
is to distinguish colOrs, because all sig
nails are made with cOlored lamps or flags.
In the tests the doctor uses all shades of
wool and pieces of glass before hame.
The sharpness of vision in each ease is
also tested. Is Fe[l sf15E.;4-
All railroad employees in Europe have
undergone such examinations, with the
discovery that about two per cent. Of them
were color blind. 1t is natural defect.
People are born so, and some times neYer
discover it until placed under examfna-
tion. In the public schools in this city
knowledge of colors is taught in an effort
to train the chfldrer's eyes, and to rene
dy, If possible, any defect. .i 70
The subject is rich one, and interest
ing to the multitudes of travellers. The
Doctors Investigations are likely TO be
productive of great results, and no doubt
will lead to the adoption here, as in Eu-
rope, of one requisite In the qualifications
of trainmen-a freedom from color-blind-
ness. ,....-z.5 ,...-, .5-tr-.s=,.

The Liberal Stranger.


A red-nosed stranger shufied into
saloon the other evening where acrowd
of loungers were discussing the political
situation, and waiting for a successful
candidate to drop In and ''saY some

Making a low obeisance to the man be-
hind the bar, the stranger turned to the

his lips on the back of his hand.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.

As on some dusky summer day,
When clouds and gloom obscure the sky,
We see far OF the sunbeams play
While round US naught but shadows lie,
We see the distant waters gleam,
We see the hiH-tops all afiame, -s-
While near us rolls the sullen stream.
And thunders loud the storm proclaim.
IT'S thus when all around our way
The lowering clouds Of trouble wait
When all is dark, without ray,
And crushed we bend to adverse fate.
Oh, then, beyond the earth's dark wall.
With clearer eye and keener ear,
We see the light celestial fall,
And sounds of heavenly music hear.
And as the shade the star makes bright
The light Of day conceaIs from view,
So death will pour its flood of light
On mysteries undreamed and new.
Thus. DER the checkered path we tread.
The lights and shadows come and go,
Until, the riddle still unread,
Death solves Life's problem here below.
And DER the threshold of the grave
A cloud with silvery lines appear.
The sun hath sunk beneath the wave,
But welcome to tn eternal years.

the country Immediately around
Houston is rather sparsely set
tied and by far the largest por-
ton of her local trade is deriv-
cd from the employees of the
railroads and the railroad shops
located there.
BRENNAN should have the ma
chine shops of the Santa Fe
railroad, their location here
would be of vast benefit, not
only to merchants, business
men and property owners in
town, but to the farmers and
gardeners for miles around.
The machine shops would add
largely to our population and
would of course proportionate-
ly increase business in all
branches. We are not advised
as to the intentions of the COM
pany in this regard, but would
call the attention of our citizens
to the fact that we have Bell
vile on the south and Caldwell
on the north, either of which
places would be only too glad
to secure the location of the
shops /; these of themselves
would in a short time build up
quite a respectable country
town. Brennan is perhaps the
most desirable point on the line
for the shops, as it will be the
largest and most important
shipping point on the line as
we'll as being the junction with
the Central road. In the course
of a few months the road will
be completed to BRENNAN and
the building will be continued
on to Bolton without any delay
whatever. The property own
ers and merchants of BRENNAN
are the ones most vitality inter-
ested in the location of the ma
chine shops and the BANNER
would suggest that it is about
time some concerted action was
taken looking to this much de-
sired object.

ly as much an offense against the law of
God as working on the Sabbath"

A ST. LOUIS policeman lately
committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head with
his pistol. He had been a
policeman for seven years; had
a large family and was pecuni-
arilly embarrassed. 1t is very
seldom that police officers re-
sign and still more seldom that
one commits suicide.
