Printing on Green PaDer.

Several of the French railway compa-

adopted the practice of having their
printing done on green instead of white
paper. The reason for this alteration is
that they have concluded that the COM

acters endanGers the eyesight of their
work people. Black on green has al
ways been recognized as a good combi-
nation for this purpose, and many rail-
