New Form Of Color Blindness.

The subject of color blindness, the
great Importance of which has been
widely recognized only within recent
years, continues to occupy the attention
of many scientific eXperlmenters Pro-
fessor Koenig of Berlin has just discov-
cred a form of this infrmity hitherto
unrecogni1ed
Persons who are said to be typical
ly" color blind see yellow where the
normal eye sees red, while those who
are totally color blind are able to per-
ceive no colors at all.
The new form of color blindness dis
covered by the German savant appears
to be intermediate between the TYP
ical" and the total" phase. Those who
suffer from it perceive nothing but
white in the entire length of the solar
spectrum, except that at the end where
the ordinary eye perceives bright red
they see faint shade of yellow, while
at the violet end of the spectrum they
are sensible of slight blueness in the
light
The dangers that arise from color
blindness are frequently pointed out
and much pains is taken to guard against
them in the selection of engineers for
railway locomotives and steersmen for
vessels, but few think of the deprivation
of pleasure which those suffer whose
eyes are not sensitive to all the colors
that make up the sunbeams. A person
who is totally color blind is almost as
much to be pitied as one who is deaf,
for large share of the beauty of the
world must be lost to those who know
neither red nor green nor violet, but
only varying intensities of whiteness or

LYNN, Feb 2O-The city insurance ques-

which resulted from competition among
the local fire insurance men were not sus-
tanned. The expired city policies were re-
newed at the higher rate but they will re-
duce the amount 1885, 600. AS city or

Why do tens of thousands of women
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,

Because they know that their letters

opened, read, and answered by woman,
who as woman has made woman's ills

them, and cures cases which the doctor
cannot.

Lee Carter, a negro, employed by the Sloss Iron and Steel company at the city furnaces, met with horrible death yes- terday morning.
 Carter was employed at the coke ovens, and for some reason, only known to him self, went up on temporary scaffold built around the new furnace in course of erection. He was seen walking on the scaffold and that was the last known of him in life.
 It was noticed shortly afterward that a steam pipe was broken and on nvestiga- tion Carter's body was found on the ground below it crushed and mangled, with life almost extinct. He died shortly after being found. The fall was 80 feet and must have been terrible one
