"red-blind' are TO be found In any aud
lence of hundred people. 1t is a wrong
idea to suppose that the only difference
between the vision of red blind" person
and the normal Is that he fails to see red.
The appearance of the rainbow to him
will explain the real difference; the violet
and green bands will be approximately
the same as to the normal eye but instead
of yellow and orange he will see green
diminishing in brightness through the
orange toward the red, which he will not
see at all; and when the normal eye sees
blue he will Sc white "a neutral gray). for
blue is the effect OF the simultaneous ex-
citation of the green and violet sensa-
tons but the effect to him will be white
because it embraces all the sensations he
knows.
Again to a green blind person the
rainbow appears red on.oue side and violet
on the other, the two colors blending into
a pale gray in the middle, and conse-
quently orange, yellow. green and blue
are not seen. In the case of violet blind
ness, green and red are seen, but instead
of orange and yellow a pure white, while
blue appears as a diminishing green. and
no violet Is visible. II sometime happens
that two of the sensations are wanting. in
which case all nature will appear in a
black and white monotone, and this Is
true no matter which sensation NAV be

How to Tell n COIOr-Blind Person.
1t is sometimes possible to detect a color
blind person merely by the expression OF
the eyes. Prof. Wilson divides their pc
cuhar look into three not very distinct
classes. He says some have an absent
anxious glance" others a startled, rest
less look" Others an ''eager, prying aim
less air." The last proposition seems to
me rather complicated, yet It is a fact
that color blind persons have a look or
their own. The golden luster of Dalton
ian eye" has become a stock phrase.
1t seems very curious that any particular
color should be lost to the eyesight. but
after all it becomes a very simple propo-
sition when the subject is looked at in
broad way. Il cannot really be said
that any object possesses color In itself
What we know as color Is merely the
effect of light striking on and being alb
sorbed by an object. The trees are not
green, the sky is not blue, the fire is not
red; but these things have the power of
affecting light rays in such a manner that
our eyes seem to see green or blue or red.
How Color blindness Is EXPLAINED.
Prof Gibson says: THE retina either
by means of its physical structure. or nv
probaly through both, can transmit 10 the
nerve centers three distinct varieties of
impulses, and not more than three These
impulses are severally caused by the long
the medium and the short visible light
nerves, and the effect produced by such is
called the fundamental red sensation. The
fundamental green sensation, and the fun
damental violet sensation, respectively.
The three sensations combined are recog-
nized as white, while two of them com
bined produce some other color. In this
manner yellow is perceived when spectral
red and spectral green light enters the owe
and the operations are the same as vhsn
spectral yellow light alone enters the eve
1t is almost Invariably found that the
condition existing in a case of coneenitai
color blindness is comepletely described
and fully explained on the supposition tbat
one of these fundamental color sensations
is lacking. In the great majority of
cases it is the red sensation that is ab-
sent, In few the green sensation. while
the absence of the violet sensation is very
rare indeed l have nevr found but one
