An old sea captain in speaking of the loss OF the
Joy Line steamboat Larchmont recalled curious
collision many years ago of Cape Cod that in
some respects resembled the recent disaster.
The craft concerned were the schooner Hannah F.
Carleton. of Jonesport. Me-. and of the steam
ers Of the Boston and Savannah Line. The lights
Of the steamship were plainly by Captain
Falkingham of the schooner. Having the right OF
way he did not alter his course and contented
himself with shouting and blowing a horn TO at
tract the attention OF the steamer. The only APP

schooner TO careen from side to side. the water

nevertheless saved the schooner which would
otherwise inevitably have been cut clean in two.
The crew. frightened by the boats unsteadiness

DR.. oerum Of the F1nsen Institute at Copenha-
gen. has carried out a number OF experiments on
the effect OF light on the blood. He has found that
darkness reduces the total amount Of blood by 10
SO per cent while decreasing at the same time tho
amount of blood contained in the heart. Red light
has effect like that OF darkness. while blue
light is likely TO result in excess OF blood and
an increase IN the amount contained in the heart.
Light baths are likely 20 increase the amount OF
blood IN the course OF few hours Darkness will
increase ana Intensive light will reduce the blood
pressure. Animals born In the dark or in red
light have a greater weight. but only half the
