COLOR BLINDNESS.

Professor Herring undertook a series
of observations upon three normal-sight-
ed persons, namely upon himself and up
on his two assistants, DR., Biederman
and DR.. Shilling. These experiments
were designed to elicit whether any con-
slant difference could be detected in the
color judgments, of the three normal
sighted persons who were the subject OF
experiment. The question proposed for
Judgment was the determination of a
point at which red, which has been
graduated off on the one side into blue
red and on the otherintU yellow red,
could be regarded as at the neutral point
at which it did not incline either to the
one or other OF these colors. When the
matter was put to the experimental test
in this manner, constant differences were
actually discovered to obtain between
the judgments of the three individual
observers. The one observer, DR.. (now
Professor) Biederman, in all cases still
continued to see yellowish tinge when
the red proposed for judgment had al
ready, in the judgment of the other two
observers, long ceased to contain any
trace of yellow. Similarly, when it was
a question of transition from blue red
to pure red, the blue faded out from
the red first to DR.. Biederman, next to
Professor Herring, and last of all to DR..
| Shilling. In fact DR.. Bierderman had
begun to see yellowish shade in the red
before it had well ceased to have blue
shade for DR.. Shilling. Professor Her
ing was ascertained to occupy kind of
| intermediate position in respect of his
susceptibility to yellow and blue rays.
1t thus became evident that there are
physiological differences of sensibility to
the blue and yellow rays to be found in
persons of perfectly normal sight, and
| Professor Herring was able to show, by
means of an ingenious method of expert
mentation with excised retinas, that such
| differences were not referable to any dis
parity of color nomenclature, while they
might quite we'll be accounted for by in
dividual differences in the depth of pig
mentation over the central region, the
so called mGculd luted, of yellow spot of
the retina. 1t was pointed out by Her
ing that an increased depth of the pig
mentation would naturally entail greater
absorption of the blush rays during
their transmission to the deeper-lying
sensitive layer of the retina, and further
that the result of such an excessive weed
ing out of the blue rays would be to give
every color judgment which emanated
from person with deeply pigmented
retina a distinct yellowish bias. This
we have seen was the condition which
was found to obtain in the case of DR.,
Biederman's color judgments.
On the other hand, the color judg-
rnents of a person whose retina contained
less than the average of pigment would
be characterized by blush bias, for the
light which would to the ordinary eye
appear as colorless would to such an eye
appear to be blush, owing to less than
average elimination of the blue rays

IECIUkED WASO1NO NAV.
II was wash day at the house Of the
Fergusons. The clothes had been in
soak for more than an hour. The laun-
dry lady in the basement came up stairs
to report that the soap, which had been
ordered early that morning, had not
come yet.
"Lycurgus, said Mrs. Ferguson, "you
will have to go to the grocery store ana
get it. We can't wait any longer"
Mr., Ferguson went to the grocers,
whose place of business was seven blocks
away.
"How does it happen" he demanded
fiercly. THAT the soap my wife ordered
three hours ago hasn't come YETI"
"She ordered lot of other stuff at the
same time" said one of the clerks, "and
we filled the order as quick as we could.
The boy with the delivery wagon is on
the way there now.
Mr.. Ferguson went back home. Mrs.
Ferguson reported that the grocer's boy
had come and had delivered everything
she had ordered-except the soap. 1t
had been overlooked.
Mr., Ferguson, boiling over with wrath
was about to start for that soap, when
the laundry lady made her appearance
again.
"There's man at the back door, she
said, with an order book in his hand. l
think it's the grocer himself"
Then Mr.. Ferguson went to the back
door.

"No, sir, but"

ONE BLIZZARD VICTIM.

The clerks at the Grand hotel say that
the most cheerful man who ever stayed
there was Mr.. Bowling of Minneapolis,
recently here, and he had 5000 worth of
wooden legs and wooden arms. He wore
them all himself Without them, he
would not, to all appearancec, have made
much of a showing. Set up on his high
cork legs, however, and with his arms
pieced out with the same material, he
would burst into the hotel like a ray of
light on dark, colony day. He was the
victim of one of the playful billiards. of
Minnesota. When it was over and he
was gathered up from the snow it was
difficult to tell what pieces would with
stand the allurements of the grave dig
ger. Some of him survived, however, and
then he set out to see what he could do.
Both legs were off close to the body.
His left forearm was, and all he had re-
naming was the smallest stump of the
thumb on the right hand. He practiced
for awhile walking with the heavy leath-
ern boots which everybody has seen leg
less men wear. Finally he raised enough
money to buy his various cork eXtTemi-
ties. Mr.. Bowling likes a joke, and
when stopped on the street here and i'm
portuned for aims by men with one leg,

and load them up with big dinner at
his own expense, all the time listening
to their tale of misfortune with the great
est interest. When it was all over his
face would tighten and much to their as
constituent, he would begin shucking
his legs and arms, exposing the hyper.
critical material of which they were
made. At the same time he would tell
how glad he would be if he was only as
well supplied with legs and arms as they
were. He would next tell them to brace
up, take heart and begin learning some
thing useful to support themselves. Mr.
Bowling cannot use cane, because he
cannot hold one. Therefore without aiC
he is forced to make his way. He hai
learned to do it so we'll that he can out

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

In the late autumn of the year 1851 l
visited the National capitol in company
with my husband, DR.. Howe, and par
ty of friends, among whom were Gov
ernor AMI Mrs. Andrew, Mr.. and Mrs.
+. P. Whipple, and my dear pastor
Rev. James Freeman Clarke.
The journey was one of vivid, even
romantic interest. We were about to
see the grim demon of war face to face;
and long before we reached the city his
presence made itself felt in the blaze of
fires along the road where sat or stood
our pickets, guarding the road on which
we travelled.
One day we drove out TO attend re-
view of troops, appointed to take place
some distance from the city. In the
carriage with me were James Freeman
Clarke and Mr.. and Mrs. Whipple.
The day was fine and everything
promised well, but sudden surprise on
the enemy's part interrupted the proceed
ings before they were fairly begun. A
small body of men had been surrounded
and cut off from their companions; re-
Inducements were sent to their assist
ance, and the expected pageant was nee
essarily given up. The troops who were
to have taken part in it were ordered
turned our horses heads homeward.
For long distance the foot soldiers
nearly filled the road. They were before
and behind, and we were obliged to
drive very slowly. We presently began
to sing some of the well-known songs of
the war, and among them, John
Browns body lies a-mouldering in the
grave"
This seemed to please the soldiers,
who cried, "Good for your and them
selves took up the strain. Mr.. Clarke
said, "You ought to write some new
words to that tune" replied that
had often wished to do so.
In spite of the excitement of the day,
l went to bed and slept as usual; but
awoke next morning in the gray of the
early dawn, and to my establishment
found that the wished-for lines were ar
ranging themselves in my brain,
lay quite still until the last verse had
completed itself in my thoughts, then

paper and an old stump of a pen, which

Having completed this, 1 lay dow
again and fell asleep, but not without
feeling that something of Importance
had happened to me.

correct, however, where the skim milk
is utilized. Even the small amount of
