COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Plan of Examination in EngIan d.
Causes and Dangers.

The Plan of Examination in EngIan d
Causes and Dangers
The Parliamentary Committee appoint
ed in Great Britain to examine the sub
jec5 of color blindness, particularly in its
relation to marine aud railway signaling,
have made an exceedingly interesting
report. They ind that in the male popu-
lation nearly four per cent. are eithe r par
TALLY Or wholly deficient in the ability to
distinguish rightly the prlmlry coIors of
the spectrum. The tests We're made with
great care, under the guidance or special
lets whose scientific knowledge afforded
a guarantee OF accurate aud trustworthy
Investigation. Because Berlin wool pre-
SCENTS TO the eye a rough and non-refect-
lug surface. the colors of which are not
heightened nor dulled by the light in
which it is displayed, that substance was
selected for testing The eyes. From u
miscellaneous heap of skeins of various
colors the person submitting to a test
Was required to select approximate
matches Tor certain test colors.
1t as found That blindness to red was
the most common form Of deficiency:
blindness to green was next in frequency.
Since experiment has proven that red aud
green are the two colors found to be most
trustworthy for signaling purposes, on
wv Va = LalIlIOSltJ anu
their visibility at considerable distances,
rhe fact that these are the two colors
which color blind persons are most apt to
mistake is a matter OF the first Import
ance.
The committee found that persons in
responsible positions in the marine and
railway service, where accuracy in de-
termln1ng color Is essential TO safety and
efficiency, could not be trusted to read the
signals correctly. This condition of things
possibly furnishes the explanation of
many disasters on sea aud aud which
have hitherto beUn deemed mysterious;
and 1t certainly indicates the necessity for
a thorough test of tue eyes of engineers,
pilots. signalmen and others who are in
trusted with the movement of trains and
water craft.
AS to the cause of color blindness the
committee report that In the greater num-
Der OF instances it proceeds from con-
genital defects that caunot be remedied;
but 1t is frequently the result of excessive
use of tobacco. This is a hint worth re-
membering on the part OF those vino may
become aware of their Inability to dIstin-
guish coIors.
AS ev +ry day in the year thousands of
lives and millions of dollars worth of
property are dependent for safe keeping
upon the accurate reading of colors by
persons employed upon ships
and locomotives, the knowledge of the
risk Involved should lead to thorough ex-
animation and the wedding out of those
found in this particular to nave defective
eyeSighG.

A NEW COAL DEAL PROPOSED.
Central May Lease the Reading, Lehigh
Valley and Port Reading.

H1&y CoS eAS ~NA6
Valley and Port Reading.
Special to the Jersey City Ne,us.
TRENTON, Sept. 81, 1S92.-According to
a current here this morning. the
coal combine people nave a new project
IN contemplation, and although it is i'm
possible to obtain any accurate informa-
ton concerning it, it is said that under
the new scheme the Reading Company
will be euabled to carry out The comcina
ton without infringing any of the State
laws. The suit against the Port Realizing
to annul its charter has dishearLened
them, and the old coal combine is vlr-
tually abandoned.
The new scheme will embrace the same
roads, the difference being merely in the
arrange lient. In the new deal, the Cen
trail Railroad OF New Jersey will lease the
Philadelphia aud Reading, the Lehigh
and although the entire system will be
run by tine Central, it will be under the
control of the people who were at the
head of the coal combine.
There are several reasons for the
change. In the first place, there is no law
prohibiting a domestic railroad corpora
tion from leasing another railroad. The
law of 1885 prohibits foreign companies
coming into the State aud obtaining con-
troll of domestic railroad corporations by
lease or otherwise. Chancellor McGIll's
decision declaring the lease void was
manly based on thisl law.
Another reason for the proposed ar
rangemeDt is, that tue Vail estate, Of
Morristown, which mas twice brought
suit to aunui leases made by the Central
TO other companies, eau have no objection
to the Central Railroad leasing other
companies.
Another rumor is, that the roads will
be run separately. and a combination
made among the coal companies which
will give the Reading coutrol of the an-
thracIte coal lands. While ccurate i'll
formation is not at hand, it seems certain
that a new deal is in contemplation.

Sun spots are vast cavities on the pho- tosphere of the sun and it is yet uncer- tain whether they are caused by or are the cause of eruptions on that intensly heated luminary. They are usually found in two zones extending from five to 10 degrees of latitude north and south of the suns equator and develop rapidly, lasting but comparatively short time from few days to a month or two. One spot was known to have lasted for over l5 months, but that was an exception. They are usually quite irregular in shape and are composed of two parts the umbra, ,or black center, which is dark because filled with cooler gases and va DOTS which consequently absorb light :; and the fringing gray penumbra, con- sisting of long, feathery tilaments reach ing toward the middle of the umbra, and usually very lovely in form. The diam eter of an umbra varies from 300 to 1000 miles in small spot to tremendous rents of 50,000 or G0,000 in a large one, into which our little earth might be dropped many times without making an impress ion on the penumbra.
