A traveller in California was aston
ished when he first saw corn thriving
in the dry and seemingly barren soil
Of Los Angeles county but the farm
ers explained that beneath these corn
fields is the subterranean outlet of
some stream, aud that they are wa
tered from below. BY digging down
ten or twelve feet almost anywhere
over the bed you will find the river,
which re.appears on the surface again
in two different beds some miles
further down, and then again sinks
beneath the surface.

DR.. Edwin Hutchinson, Of Utica
Y. Y, an expert in color blindness, in
his report to the railroad commission,
brings out strongly the Importance of
subjecting all engineers, fagmen and
pilots to the most searching tests in
this regard He says that the worsted
test is the most satisfactory which has
been discovered. "Asvery few, if thus
faranypersons, "he says, care color blind
for yellow and blue, it has frequently
been proposed to do away with the red
and green signals on land and sea, and
have only the first two colOrs. This
is found not to be practicable, for blue
glass of sufficient intensity of color to
make an impression at distance, cuts
off so much light as to be too dim to
be seen clearly. No useful change can
be made in the colOrs Of signals in
order to give the four imperfect men
in every one hundred places as pilots
or engineers. The ninety-six men who
can tell these signals accurately should
DO the only ones to whom the public
would have to entrust their lives. DR.,
William Thompson, who has under his
supervision the color sense of the en-
ployes OF the Pennsylvania Railroad,
has arranged a modification Of Holm
gren'5 worsted test, which is entrusted
to the superintendent Or surgeons in
the various divisions, and by it those
whose color sense is defective can be
recognized readily and Can afterwards
be tested by him"
