DR.. j. III. Bickerton calls attention in
a recent number of the British Medical
Journal to curious case of color blind
ness. The individual cited was the Off
Ger OF steamer. and owing to his in
ability to distinguish between white
and green lights narrowly escaped run
ming down another vessel. He had pre-
viously been subjected to the Holmgren
test, which consists of matching col
ored woods, and after the narrow es-
cape noted he was again subjected to
the test, and on both occasions passed
successfully. The author then goes on
to state that this form of defective
vision is not so uncommon, and he con-
siders it imperative that some other
test be devised, SO as to exclude unfit
persons from the merchant marine
service.

A BIG GREEN PEARL.
It Is Found in a Baked Oyster and
Changes Its Color.
Experts Puzzled by the Gem Dis
covered by Lieut.. Whipple
High Prices Are offered
for 1t.

When Lieut.. Whipple, while at din
ner at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York,
bit on to a pearl of wonderful size
concealed in the inner echo of a baked
oyster he recognized a gem that has
since puzzled the lapidaries of the
country.
The pearl has recently betrayed
Irish tendencies which are unaccount-
able. When first brought to public
view it was of a pale pink hue. This
color was supposed to be the result of
the baking process to which it had
been exposed. But since then IL has
gradually turned green, until now it
looks not unlike brilliant green pea.
Lieut.. Whipple was about to leave
for Cuba when he discovered the pearl
while at dinner. He told George C.
Boldt, manager of the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, of the finA Lieut.. Whipple at once
asserted that the gem was of great
value. He turned it over to William
in Fifth avenue, ordering that it be
set in a plain gold scarfpin. II was
recently forwarded to Mrs. Whipple,
who lives at Louisville, Ky. Mrs.
Whipple valued the pearl highly, but
as she saw it gradually changing its
color she became superstitions and
feared that it might be exerting a
baneful influence upon herself or upon
her husband.
One Louisville gem fancier, already
the owner of several large sapphires
and diamonds, would like to add the
pearl to his collection He offered
generous price for it, but there is lit
tie probability that he will get the
pearl, for the reason that New York
jeweler has written that he will pay
an advance on any offer made by any
one else for the gem.
Mrs. Whlpple, who is still Bit SUI
perstitious about the pearl, has not
determined whether to part with it or
not. She has written to her husband
asking for his advice. IN the mean
time experts are watching the pearl,
and if it works out to a high price
finish baked pearls will probably be
the fad next season.

How to Plant Poncarn.

Popcorn may be planted closer
than any other varieties. One plan of
planting is to make the burrows three
feet apart and have the corn stand
cne stalk in hill, IA inches apart in
the rows. If the corn is planted very
early or late it will not suffer SO
much from the worms as the medium
planted crops. Where irrigated, care
must be taken in keeping the water
from the stalks and not give the
plants more than two periods of ir-
rigation during the growing season.
The poor ears can be fed to poultry
with profit and the fodder is relished
by the cows, sheep and horses.

Teaching of John the Baptixt.

John the Baptist, the greatest of
the prophets, gathered together the
scattered rays of Old Testament pre-
diction into these two sayings, which
will be forever associated with his
name: Behold the Lamb of God, that
taketh away the sin Of the world!"
and HE shall baptize you with the
Holy Ghost, and with fire." The first
is the Gospel of atonement; the second
is the Gospel Of regeneration; and
both together give a comprehensive
summary Of all that Jesus brings to
men.-William M. TAYLOR.
