Color HT;udoass.

An English engineer, forty years of
age, was dismissed from his situation be-
cause he was unable to correctly distin-
guish colors. DR.. NJ. Reich, who exam
ined the man, and who afterward pub
lished the results of his examinations in
a Russian paper, found sight, focus and
sensation of light normal, and discov-
cred no disease by the ophthalmoscope,
yet the patient could distinguish no col
ors when of a dark shade, and only yell
low and blue when of a light shade. The
patient assured DR.. Reich that he had
been able to distinguish colors correctly
and with confidence up to the summer of
1889. He said that through overexer-
ton and insuficiency of sleep he had
then suffered from violent headache for
two weeks, and that afterward he saw
everything as if it were red. The latter
symptom had continued for three months,
after which time he had lost all sensa-
ton of color. In the beginning of May,
1890, he presented himself again, 6eclar-
ing that he had perfectly regained the
power to distinguish colors. A thorough
examination completely confirmed the
assurance given by the patient, who was
consequently again fit for service. DIR.
Reich believes that ''erythropsy' is due
to central mischief. The case seems to
show that sensation of color is perfectly
independent of the physiological func-
tion.-New York Ledger.

An Artists knOcker.

The days of Benvenuto Cellini are
oven past, and perhaps OF the whole it is
as well. but sometimes yet we may find
an artist of genius applying his skill to
motives not too brighton good for human
natures daily food. Harry Bates, the
sculptor of Hounds in Leash" bought
by the Earl Of Wemyss, and Pandora"
who soon will be taking her place among
the other purchases under the Chantrey
bequest, has just made a veritable chef
d'oeuvre in. the shape of a knocker, The
design. which represents an exquisite
female figure standing in a pose of ex-
tr~aordinary grace. is, apart from all
technical excellencies. full of the pure
spirit Of classic refinement, strong, yet
dainty, more perfect than the Tanagra
statuettes, yet, it would seem, touched
with a kindred inspiration The figure
will be of silver and will lean against a
brazen Observation-Disclosures Telegraph

A Family of Al1iSators.

David Cope, who occupies a shop on
Gay street, has a family Of nine young
alligators which play around him like
kittens. The saurians are from eight
inches to a foot long and are about six
months old. Mr.. Cope caught them last
spring in Florida, and brought them
home with him for the amusement of
himself and friends. They were very
savage, and would snap at anybody who
touched them when he first caught
them, but they have now become quite
tame when in the presence of any one
that they are familiar with.
They play about Mr.. Cope's feet and
crawl about the floor. Catching flies is
a great pastime with them, and their
jaws shut on their food with a snap
that is quick and startling. If a
stranger enters the shop the alligators
know it instantly, and make off into the
corners Of the room and hide themselves
behind anything that may be convenient.

Killing an Artists Pet.

A little story is told of Du Maurier,
the we'll known artist of Punch, the
Englishman's materialized idea of wit,
humor and burlesque. The artist lives
in a. beautiful country home near Lon
don, and one Of his pet views is from his
study window across his own lawn out
beyond to the landscape surrounding
Harrow. An American, of America to
the west, recently visited him for a day,
and Mr.. Du Maurier was showing his
guest about the place.
There" he said, coming to his favor
lite window, lis the prettiest thing of
all. That is Harrow"
The American looked out for a minute
or two.
Harrow" he said inquiringly.
Yes" repeated the artist, Harrow"
SIS that so?" questioned the visitor.
''Well now, do you know, I took it for
a lawn mower"
And he wasn't joking, either. He had
overlooked the landscape entirely, and
was looking at an agricultural machine
on the lawn, and the artists heart was
bTOken.-Detroit Free Press.

the largest skeleton Of any extinct ami
NAL yet found. 1t, belonged to the order

Ammonia Poisoning,

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does Lot seem to discourage the
suicide. The man Harrowitz, who de-
liberately swallowed a fatal dose of the
drug in New York, is only one Of the
many who have gone the ammonia
route to death in spite Of the excruciat-
ing pain. DR.. Blyth has recorded thirty
cases of ammonia poisoning in the small

Melon Day at Rocky Ford.

Five thousand long green watermeIons
OF tue "swank" variety We're arranged l
a huge pile within a low board Enclosure
under the shade of New Cottonwood
grove, in the pleasant little village of
Rocky Ford, Colo, n morning recent
ly. Surrounding these watermelons were
little pyramids of eanteloupes, some 1000
or 1900 in number. The top of this
board ~inclosure served as a table, on
which the melons, sliced by big knives
into halves, were laid, only to be eager
ly assaulted by waiting crowds emery
people, who lined the tables as close as
they could stand. The only restrictions
were numerous rudely painted signs
tackled to trees, reading, please leave
your rinds upon the tables"
1t was Melon Day at Rocky Ford, and
this melon pen was the center of all in
terest. and every one of the 5000 visitors
present at this annual festival were wei
come to as much melon as they could
stow away. Ten years ago a single
ranchman named G. W. Swank, was
raising melons for market in this valley.
The quality of his product was so supe-
rior that 100 acres of melons could not
supply the demand.
Now the village of Rocky Ford is in
the center of thousands of acres of wa
termelon vines, while as far as the eye
can reach, stretch prolific fields of grain
and hay. ~interspersed with young Or
chards and luxuriant vegetable gardens.
All this is the result Of irrigation during
the past ten years. No wonder the resi-
dents of this valley delight in celebrat-
ing this annual Melon Day.-Cor. st.

that such an organization for 1892
