The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1905-01-12

What color is least easily seen at
distance? asks Success. One would
naturally say some dull natural tint,
a somber gray or brown. This h,ls
been the conclusion of most military
men. and our brilliant dress uniforms
have given way for practical caIn-
paigning to khaki and other dull col
ors. Is this a mistake? Possibly 80,
according to the results obtained In
recent experiments in Engand. 1t has
been found there that masses OF dull
color are very much more conspicuous
at a. distance than mixtures OF bright
tints. For instance, a battery OF Held
artillery whose carriages and Gals
sons were decorated with stripes OF
red blue and yellow could be made
out with difficulty at thousand yards,
while other batteries painted uni
form brown or drab were easily seen
at great distances. 1t would seem rs
If on the same principle, regiment
of gayly dressed troops might be less
easily visible than one wholly garbed
in dull-colored khaki.

STEAMER ATHOS BOUND FROM
JAMAICA TO NEW
YORK ADRIFT.
Crew Were Short Of Food
and Water.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The steamer
Athos, seventeen days overdue, with
a cargo of UNBEATABLE bananas and
bones of half eaten sharks aboard,
indicating the hardships of the voyage,
reached this port this morning. With
eighty passengers she left Port An
tonic Jamaica, July s, for this city, for
a six-day voyage. Three hours from
port, part of her engine broke and she
drifted from that time on until last
Sunday, trying to repair the break.
She then signalled the steamer Altaai
for tow and was brought into New
York The Cinnamon aboard tried to
eat sharks but it made them ill. DOL
phins were caught and relieved the
famine. Aug. s, the Athos signalled
"alrs well" to the steamer Adirondack,
but on the 10th, the fresh water tank
was found tainted by the juice Of rot
ting bananas. For a week the vessel
tossed about in the heavy seas. the en-
gines breaking time and again. The
Vera was unable to tow the vessel.
Passengers say the odor of the rotten
fruit was worse than hunger and the
dangers of the sea.
