 The petitions for a reconsideration of the l color blind law and stay of proceedings are meeting with no end of signatures. Hun l the thousands before reported have been ad- ] ded to them, and if the petition paper holds out the railroad men will have the auto graphs of large share of the voting popu- 1 lation of Connecticut They mean business and have the public with them. Reviewing the test for eolor-blindness imposed upon railroad men in Connecticut, the Boston Journal of Commerce says "The tests are
 made by exhibiting letters three-eighths of an inch long at distance of twenty feet, and by the examination of skeins of worsted of various colors and tints. Such tests as these might be applicable to pupils in a Hndergar- ten, where the alphabet is taught by the blackboard, and to dry goods salesmen but railroad employees have nothing to do with reading way-side signs of patent medicines and five miles to Pillsbolus druggist or de- termining the shade of color on the clothing of the female passengers.
