elders Of the tribes were not permitted
to come and tell him how dear he had
been TO them, Notwithstanding all their
murmurings and reoellions. NO loving

shadow upon his aged brow.

to that journal;

Sam Randall was Speaker OF the House
or presiding officer of the Senate? The

"Where is our man Conkling?' he

"Over in that corner talking with

"Oh, yes. That is the first time |

"Sprague is not in the Senate now"

COLOR BLINDNESS.
INVESTIGATIONS IN PROGRESS BY THE
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.


The subject Of color blindness, which
has attracted great deal of attention
of late, not only from physicians but
from railroad officers, to whom it has
n practical as well as scientific inter.
est, is likely TO receive fresh illustra-
tion from the experiments undertaken
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
NY II was to be expected that this
great organization--the acknowledged
model Of well.managed railroad
would not neglect TO avail itself of the
accumulating store of scientific knowl-
edge upon so important q subject.
When il is remembered that the lives
of hundreds of passengers may depend
upon the certainty with which an en-
glneer or fireman can recognize the
signals displayed before him, and fur
ther that many persons are known to
be incapable of distinguishing one
color from another or determining the
form of an object at any considerable
distance from their eyes, IL is matter
OF wonderment that the Importance Of
an optical examination OF their em-
ployes has not sooner occurred TO
railroad officers. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company began such an ex-
animation Of its FIVE thousand train
hands during the past week. The
tests, which are made under the direo-
ton of DIR. Thomson, are for the acui.
ty Of vision, or the distinctness of OBJ
iects seen at different distances, astig-
matism, or the relative distiDotness Of
objects seen at different distances, and
hence the ability to judge OF form,
which is very important to the under
standing Of daylight signals, and final
ly, color sense, or the ability TO dis
tinguish colors The men are also ex-
amined as to their sense Of hearing,
Thus far the examination is said 10
have been very satisfactory, although
there have been some curious results.
One man, for example, being shown q
skein of red yarn, named Its color cor
rectly, but being told to pick ont other
skeins TO match II, from bunch before
him, deliberately chose two skcins Of
blue and one ofyellow. Such a one would
be quite capable Of hanging out green
lantern when req one was required.
Other eccentricitles of the same kind
we're observed, although, as has been
said, most of the men stood the test
well. Some faults of vision can be cor
rected by glasses, but there seems e
be no cure ior colorhlindness, though
IL is probable that men 80 afflicted car
be employed in positions in which Their
color sense will not be called into play

"BOB WHITE"
rs HIS DoMEsTIoATIoS POSSIBLE y--A
LATE EXPERIMENT.

The domesticatiOn Of the common
partridge has always excited much in.
terest among naturalists, and its posi-
bility has been frequently asserted and
as often denied. Cases are alleged
where they have become partially
tame, but in the course of time their
original instincts asserted themselves
and they reverted to the habits OF the
untamed ones. We cannot remember
a single instance where the experiment
has been tried under the most iavora-
bic conditions, or where it has gone
beyond q single attempt. The expert.
menter has generally contented him.
self with one effort, and when this was u
partial, or, more likely, a total failure,
the impossibility of reclaiming Bob
White and his dame has been loudly
proclaimed. We have always held the
partridge isas susceptible Of being re.
claimed from his present condition as
any other birds-turkeys, geese and
ducks for instance.

On all those things Moses gazed,
with undimned and enraptured eye,
which the Lord showed them unto
him for the satisfaction of his longing
heart, before he laid down on the
rocky height of NebO to die in silence

infinite God in comforting a last and

him the sight Of land Of hills and
valleys, drinking water of the rain of
Heaven and basking beneath the
smile of its Creator from the beginning
