QUEER COLOR BLINDNESS.

was Intsrmittent.
A peculiar case Of color blindness was
brought to the attention Of the superin-
endent Of local railway the other day
while test of the eyes Of the employees
was being conducted.
Among those examined was the engi
aeero of anexpress train who had the repu-
| sation of being one of the best men who
lad ever stood in locomotive cab. To
he utter surprise of the superintendent,
however, when the man was undergoing
the examination it was found that he
was suffering from color blindness Of a
character unknown to those making the
ests.
When the engineer was called, the
superintendent felt that it was almost a
waste Of time to apply the tests in his
the engineer's) case, and after he had
told of all the colors accurately he was
sonfirmed in this belief. But to make
himself doubly sure that no mistake
should be made he submitted the man
70 a second test. Holding up piece Of
bright red ribbon, he said to the engine
man:
What color do you see?"
"Green," was the prompt reply.
The superintendent could hardly be-
lieve his ears, and the question was re-
peated.
Green" again replied the engineer.
Then the green ribbon was held up
What color do you now see?" in
luired the superintendent.
''Red, was the answer.
The fact that all the colors had been
accurately called at the first trial puz-
lied the superintendent greatly, and he
said to the engineer that he wished to
subject him to a further examination
later in the day.
At the third trial the superintendent
arst held up piece of blue ribbon and
asked the engineer to name its color.
Blue" he answered, without hesi.
;ation.
"And this?" elevating red strip.
"Red."
'Now this one?" holding up green.
Green"
The result deepened the complexity of
the examining board, and it was finally
decided to send the man to an expert
oculist for a still further examination
It was subsequently learned that the en-
gineer had shown the same peculiar
as upon the three previ-
ous tests, which were sufficient to unfit
him for service as an engineer. He was
therefore taken from his engine and Civ

Lovers Of decency we're glad to learn
that New York's so-called French

usual disgusting features that most OF
its patrons retired with distinct sense
that they had been villainously
swindled; as, indeed. they had, from
their standpoint. The ball was "tame'
almost to the point of respectability,
and the gallant Capt. Chapman, he
who spread CONSERVATION and woe
among the Seeley diners, was there to
see that the maskers kept the law.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Week Has Been Favorable ON the
whole.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-The
Weather Bureau, I'm its report of crop
conditions for the week ended September
GOTH says: The week has been favorable
for ripenlng and securing crops. Except
ing the recent rains In the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys. In Tennessee and over por-
tfons of the Middle and South Atlantic
States. 1t has been too dry for fallowing
and the seeding of fall grain.
The exceptionally warm weather OF the
first half Of the month matured corn
rapidly. and has placed nearly the whole
crop beyond injury from frost. Owing
10 drought conditions In some Of the
more important States, the grain, par
ticularly the late crop. did not fill WELL
and the reports Indicate that much of It
will be chaffy. Cutting has progressed
rapidly under favorable conditions, and
States will be practically completed by
the end of September.
Cotton has continued to open very
rapidly, and picking has been vigorously
carried on The reports Indicate that
much the greater part OF the crop over
the central and eastern portions OF the
cotton belt is now open, and that the
hulk of the crop will be secured by Octo-
ber 18th. In Texas, picking was inter-
rupted over the greater part OF the State
during the early part Of the week by
rains which damaged open cotton, but
proved beneficial to late cotton and the
ION crop. Open cotton has also sustained
some damage from rains in Florida.
The weather conditions on the Pacific
coast have been favorable, the absence
Of rain in California being especially ad-
vantageous for curing raisins and drying
fruit In Oregon and Washington the
damage TO grain by the rains of the two
preceding weeks is considered slight.
