Colors and the Eye of Man.


Science gives us interesting details about
what the human eye has been and what 1t
may become. The Vedas of India, which
are the most ancient written documents,
attest that in times most remote, but still
recorded in history, only two colors were
known, black and red. A very long time
elapsed before the eye could perceive the
color yellow, and still longer time before
green could be distinguished; and it is re-
markable that in the most ancient Ian
guages the term which designated yellow in
sensiblY passed to the Specification of green.
The Greeks had. according to the generally
received opinion, the perception of
colors very highly developed and yet
authors OF q more recent date assure
us that in the time of Alexander
the Great the Greek painters knew but four
colors, viz: white, black, red and yellow
The words to designate blue and violet were
wanting to the Greeks in the most ancient
times of their history, they calling these
colors gray and black. 1t is thus that the
colors in the rainbow were only distin-
guished gradually ,Aand the great Aristotle
only knew four of them. 1t is a well-known
fact that when the colorS of the prism were
photographed there remained outside the
limit of the blue and violet, in the spectrum,
a distinct impression which our eyes do not
recog nize as color. Psychologists tell us
that it is reasonable to suppose that as tho
color organ becomes more highly developed,
and even before the human eye becomes
perfect, this outside band will evolve into a
color perfectly discernible

WHY M'IvER DIDN'T COME.

Liberty County's representative Ex-
plains How He Missed Being in Ea-
vanneh.
The absence of s. A. McIver, the colored
representative from Liberty county, during
the occasion Of the recent legislative visit,
was difficult to account for at the time, as
he had set his heart upon coming, and there
was universal regret at his absence. McIver
was known as the ''pet squirrel" of the last
House, and being one of the few colored
men OF the old-time school, he was de-
servedly popular in the legislature.
1t has only recently developed
why McIver did not come to Savannah.
He had his conventional dress suit in his
trunk, and it appears by letter of regret
sent to Messrs. Gordon, Clifton, and Reilly
that the trunk was not forthcoming at the
critical time, and McIver was unwilling to
come In his plain farmers garb.
In his letter McIver says: Gas poor a
man as ! am / would have rather lost $50
than not to have joined the party at Sa-
vannah, but my clothing was all into my
trunk
There is vein Of quaintness running
through McIver's letter, where, in acknowI-
edging the invitation, he says: II hope we
shall meet once more in the representative
hall again, to shake hands, with warm
hearts, with one another as we have done
In bygone days. l hath other warm friends
would hath help TO have walked me I'D to
such high dignification, but it may have
been that was not to have been present,
as this world is SO much like the returning
tide-up and down"
The old man closed very grateful letter
acknowledging the receipt of his invitation
by requesting that the MORNING NEWS
explain the reason why he did not come.

THE FEAST OF ST. ANDREW.
The Scotchmen's Society to Hold It's
Anniversary Meeting To-Day.


To-day is st. Andrews day, and VIII be
observed with special services in the Roman
Catholic and Episcopal churches Of the
city. 1t is supposed that St. Andrew, the
brother Of st. Peter, was born about b. C.
10 and was a year or two the junior Of
Peter. The death of the saint is held TO
have taken place ON Nov. 80, A. ID. 60.
The reasons for the adoption by Scotch
men of st. Andrew as their patron saint is
unknown, but wherever few Scots can be
found gathered together they are sure to be
organized under the name of st. Andrews
Society. To a great extent St Andrew
represents the patriotism Of the country at
home and serves as bond of reunion.
The st. Andrews Society in Savannah
was organized in 1850. and enrolled among
its members some of the best citizens of Sc
vannah. The intention of the promoters
was simply to form a charitable organiza-
ton, and this feature has really continued
TO be the prevailing one ever since, but the
"Canny Scots did not forget that under
st. Andrews banner patriotism as well as
charity could work together, and the con-
stitution of the society provides that a din
ner should take place on Nov. 80 in each
year, which IS observed as the occasion Of
great rejoicing.
Singular to relate, the bearer of the first
charter from the grand lodge of Scotland
to this country was William MoAlpin, and
the name of the last steward elected for the
Savannah branch is Henry McAlpin.
In st. Andrew there is seen the best ex-
ample Of man whose influence survives
long after he has passed away. He left no
writings like others of the apostles, yet in
spite of this, the influence of st. Andrew
is as great to-day as that of any of his
brethren. In his name and in the sacred
cause of charity thousands of dollars are
distributed annually, and the charity is so
well apportioned that the poor and suf-
fering In many lands bless the memory of
st. Andrew which inspires it as we'll as the
hands which give it. All over North
America St. Andrews societies exist, and
in many cases, such as those of New York,
Baltimore, Montreal and Charleston, they
have accumulated considerable property.
The anniversary meeting of the Savannah
Society will be held at Knights of Pythias
hall at noon today.
The anniversary dinner, which is usually
given on the night of Nov. so, Will be held
later on this year. The time and arrange
ments for the dinner will be settled upon at
to-day's meeting.

The IS Cent Market Fee to Be
a Abolished.
There will be a new order of things at the
market after next Wednesday, when the
annual rental Of the market stalls will take
place. Instead of a 25-cent per diem fee
being collected from each lessee of a stall,
the annual rental will be advanced 800.
Instead of the clerk of the market collect
ing the 25 cents fee every day from the
occupant of the stall, for sanitary purposes
and the care of the market, the entire
amount for the year will be paid to the city
marshal at the time of the renting of the
stall.
About one-third of the stalls in the
market are rented by the year. The
remainder are rented by the day
or week by the clerk of the market.
On these rentals an amount proportionate
to the time of occupancy of the stall will be
collected by the clerk of the market. Under
the new plan about So. 900, it is estimated,
will be brought into the city treasury at
