COlOr-BIindness.

1t has not been the duty of the writer
to investigate cases of accident which
might have been caused by defects OF
sight, but he has been assured by Off
Gals that solution will hereafter be
found in them for those hitherto in
soluble mysteries where men, other
wise creditable, have so fatty contra
dicted themselves and the circum-
stances of the case. By one promi-
nent officer he was told that, being
upon train at night, delayed by some
slight accident, he himself took a red
lantern, and, going proper distance
back, placed himself on the track in
the way of an on-coming train, but,
finding his light not observed he was
compelled to dash it into the cab to at
tract the engineers attention, and ar
rest him in his process to a collision.
Upon the examination of another en-
gineer, his superior officer being pres
ent and convinced of his color blind
ness remarked that, but a short time
before, the man had run into the rear
OF train properly protected by a red
light in the hands of brakeman some
distance in the rear, that the most
careful investigation had resulted only
in the suspension of the brakeman for
not having gone far enough back, but
that he was now satisfied that the
color-blindness of the engineer had
been the real cause of the accident.
Some slight or minor accidents recent
ly led to the discovery that another en-
gineer had by some oversight not been
tested in his division. and this lead TO
his examination ard detection there,
and to his conviction by the writer as a
color-blind. Still another case now
presents itself. An engineer some
time ago ran over and killed brake
man. holding dangersignal on the
rack in front of his engine, and no |
satisfactory explanation could then be
given; but the division examiner pre-
licted that he would probably be
ound color-blind, and on his examina-
ion this proved to be the case.- Popu-
ar Science Monthly for February.

for many years. They were on the

SO on the 'S3 revision. The foreign
eggs are easily distinguished in the
wholesale trade, as they come packed

But there is nothing to denote the
difference in the retail trade. 1t is
