The COlorist: In large factory one of
the wOrkmen carelessIy allowed his ham
mer to slip from his hand. Ii flew half
way across the room and struck q fellow
workman in his left eye. The man
ayerred that his eye was blinded by the
blow, although a careful examination
failed to reveal an injury, there being not
a scratch visible. He brought suit in the
courts for compensation for the loss Of half
of bis eyesight and refused all offers Of
compromise. The day Of the trial arrived,
and in open court an eminent Occulist re-
tanned by the defense examined the alleged
injured member and gave it as his opinion
that Il was as good as the right eye, aud
proved it.
Knowing that the cOIors green and red
combined make black, he prepared black
card on which few words were written
with green ink Then the plaintiff was or
dered 70 put on u pair Of spectacies with
two dlnerent glasses. the one for the right
eye being rel and the one for the Iefr eve
consisting OF ordinary glass Then the
card was handed him and he was ordered
TO read the writing on IT, This he did
withOu. hesitation, and the cheat WAS Al
once exposed The sound right eve fitted
with the red glass, was unable To digtfn
guish the green writing on the black sur-
face Of the card, while the left eye. which
be pretended was sightless. was the one
with which the reading had 70 be done.

volumes of smoke came out Of the hold.
The ventIlatOrs were at once blocked and

have fastened on the cargo in the lower
hold. During the next four days the decks
were red hot In the cargo were 200 bar

bunkers took fire, and they burned for
seven days intervening before port was
