Color Blindness Mt Sea.
HOW MR. A. B. MULLETT PROPOSES TO REMEDY THIS
DEFECT.
"The difficulty about recognizing the lights OF a
ship at sea can be remedied in very simple way, ~
remarked Mir. A. B. Mullett In the course OF con-
versatton with a STAR reporter on color blindness,
suggested by the recent disaster TO the Talla-

"How Is that7" asked the listener with some Gu
riosity.
"By recognizing the fact that nearly every one

reporter.
IL think So" responded Mr.. Mullett. "Take my
own case for an example. One or the tests for
color blindness which Is generally used in the ex-
animation OF pilots Is to give them a bundle OF
pieces OF colortd cloth to be assorted Can take
such bundle and distinguish the various shades

the light seems to destroy my sense OF color; and
so you see, while might he able to pass the tests
OF an examining board on shore, would be useless
at sea. don't suppose that am an exception in
this particular"
"What would you substitute for the colored
ughts?" aske the reporter.
"White lights" was he reply. "You know that
vessels carry white light at the masthead and
red and green lights on the port and starboard.
Instead OF these lights would have two white
lights, one above the other, on the port side say,
and three white lights arranged In the same way
on the starboard SIDE These could be readily dis
t1nguished, and their number would indicate the
side OF the ship Color blindness, under such cir
cumstances, would not incapacltate otherwise COM

amined and seek place as any other citizen OF tie

you that he was appointed solely On his merit and
without any Intervention or myself or any other
party"

clearly proven, however. that the
great majority of the citizens of
