How They Were Cleverly Used In
Exposing a Fraud.

Exposing rT1uus
In a large factory in which were en-
ployed several hundred persons one OF
the workmen in welding his hammer
carclessly allowed it to slip from his
hand. 1t few halfway across the room
and struck a fellow workman In the
left eye. The man afterward averred
that his eye was blinded by the blow,
although careful examination failed
to reveal any injury, there being not a
scratch visible.
He brought suit In the courts for
compensation for the loss of half OF
Wis eyesight, and refused all offers OF
compromise. Under the law the owner
Of the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident OF
this kind.
The day Of the trial arrived. and In
open court an eminent oculist, retained
by the defense, examined the alleged
injured member and gave 1t as his
opinion that 1t was as good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest Of
his inability to see with his left eye
the oculist proved him a per1urer ana
satisfied the court and jury OF the fai-
sIty of his claim. He did it simply by
knowing that the colors green and RED
combined make black.
He prepared black card, on which
few words were written in green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered to put
on a pair of spectacles with two differ-
ont glasses. the one for the right eye
being red, and the che for the left eye
consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed to him, and he was
ordered to read the writing on II
through the glasses.
This he did without hesitation, ana
the cheat was at once exposed. owing
to the effect which the colored glass
must have had upon the green writing
the sound right eye fitted with the RED
glass could not possibly distinguish
the writing on the black surface OF the
card. while the left eye, which he pre-
tended was sightless, was the one VIVID
which the reading had to be DONE

First Thermometer.

The first thermometer was made In
1921 by a Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted OF
tube filed with air, closed at Its up
per end and dipping at its other ex-
tremity, which was open, in bottle OF
nitric acid diluted with water. AS the
temperature rose or fell the air IN the
tube increased or grew less In volume
and consequently the liquid descendAd
or rose. This instrument is now known
as an cir thermometer, but as Its meas
urements were based on no fixed prin'
ciple 1t was of little use.
