Tired Eyes.

A correspondent of Popular Science
News tells OF a party of Alpine climb
ers who, having spent five hours among
the SHOWS Of the mountains, returned
to their homes after dark. A great
change had to all appearance taken
place since the night before. Instead of
being illuminated in the usual way.
the place was supplied with green
lights.
1t took the travellers a little time to
realize that they were suffering from
Daltonism. or color blindness, superin.
duced by eye fatigue. The intense light
caused by the sun shining upon the
snow had for the time rendered them
unable to judge of colors and given rise
to their curious mistake. Three hours
elapsed before the eyes regained their
normal condition.
Chevreul explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon a given color with
out tending to become insensible to it.
When the eye looks long upon a color,
it should be rested by the complement
tary color. Thus an eye that has grown
tired with green should be rested by
red. which is green's complementary
color.
