Color blindness, or the inability 10 distinguish certain colors, Is by no means rare Incomplete color blind ness is when person can not distin- guish one of the fundamental colors. rcd, green or violet If a person is told to select colors resembling violet, he will, If red blind, usually select blues as well as vioets If he is green blind he will select green or gray, with DOS siby some blues and vioets Of the brightest shades. Violet blindness Is rare

 At birth the length of the head Is about half that attained on complete development, or an average of iS7 inches By the end of the first year the length is 606 inches and by the end of the second is SS1 inches. This growth of nearly 1-2 inches in TWO years Is greater than all the subse- quent growth of the head The aver age length of the adult head is llt- tie less than nine Inches, or from one-sixth to one eighth the entire length of the body

 \ Blind Spot in the Eve.
 An interesting experiment to prove the presence of the blind spot in q persons eye may be performed with out difficulty. Draw a circular figure about half an inch in diameter and color 1t black. At distance of about three inches from the center of this draw a small star. Hold the figures so that the star is directly in front of one eye. while the circle Is n front of the other. If the star is held in front of the left eye close tho right eye, and look steadily at the star, moving the paper until a point Is reached where the circle disappears.
 To find the blind spot in the other eye. turn the paper upside down and close the other eye. The presence of the lind spot does not indicate dis eased eyes It simply marks the point where the optic nerve enters the eye ball, which point Is, therefore, not provided with the necessary visual and organs of sight, known as rods and cones.
 The presence of the yellow spot with its small central shadowy dot or point of most Intense vision, may he demonstrated as follows: Close the eyes for few seconds, and then look through fat sided bottle of chrome solution al brightly lighted surface CT the clear sky; Tn the blue green so- lulior q rose colored spot will be seen which corresponds to the yellow spot The light that comes through the chrome alum solution Is chiefly mix ture of red, green and blue The pig ment of the yellow spot, ahsorbs portion of the blue and tho green and transmits the rest, as rose colored mixture, to the visual organs behind tho spot

CHECK ARTIST
 DID BOTCH JOB
Raised Check SIOO, Wrote
 a Letter to Prove It
An EmplOye of M. J. Lufty of Congress Who Went
 Wrong After Long Service

Emory Ortcga alias F.. R Giddings who had been employed by NJ J. Lufty of Congress as bookkeeper in his store for the past four months, was arrested here yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff TeodOro Olea, for having tamp- cred with a check issued by MT. Lufty to the extent of raising it from s29 tC S129 and which he attempted to casf yesterday morning at the Nationa Bank of Arizona. The warrant was is- sued out of Justice JOhnstone's court and Ortega's hearing will probably bt had today.
 For a premeditated swindle it was very clumsily executed and turned out to be a bOtch job. Ortega wrote out the check himself Saturday for the original amount in favor of E. R. Gid dings, for MT, Lufty to sign. He pur- posely left space to prefix the figures "one' and words "One hundred" tC make the check read for slOO more But when he wrote in the words he run them into the others. The appear 'ance of the check at once aroused the suspicion of the bank and Ortega alias Giddings. was told that they thought the instrument had been tampered with.
 But Ortega was prepared for such an emergency. He had a letter which purported to have been written Dy MT Lufty, stating that he had made a mistake in writing the check for s29 in the beginning. and that he had af- rewards annexed the necessary items n if road for I,a ,.;a was $129 and<that the bank should pay that sum to MT. Giddings as it was all right When Ortega flashed this let ter on the cashier he thought he would have it cinched. But the letter looked bogus in its makeup. the writing and the unreasonable features it presented. The applicant was told that they could ascertain in twenty minutes if the check was good for $129. They reason ed that any man who would make such a mistake would probably tear up the check and write a new one.
 Ortega then made another foolish break by asking that he be given the $29 and let it go at that if there was any question. This was refused and he was told that if he would call in a half hour he would get the money if any was coming to him. The bank kept the check and the letter. Ortega said he would call later. He never came back.
 MT. Lufty at Congress was commun- icated with and he pronounced the let ter bogus, and said the check had been raised. The sheriffs office was noti- fled but the first description of tba man wanted was misleading. The dep ties were set on the trail of a man wearing black suit ana black slouch

TO OPEN A CAFE
 ON ADAMS STREET.
Change in Character of Business Pur' sued in Bake Room.

About the first of November Phoenix will have new cafe located on West Adams street in the room now occu- pied by H. s. Griswold. The new eat ing house will be known as the Cry stal Cafe and the proprietors will be Peter Kass, Paul Largidness and Stult Macris.
 These three gentlemen are Greeks and have been engaged in business in San Francisco. They are friends of Sanichas Brothers, who have recom- mended Phoenix to them as a good opening for a first class establishment of this kind.
 The room will be remodeled and re- furnished for the purposes of the new firm and the equipment and fixtures will be thoroughly uptodate. The best of service will be given and the firm expects to make this cafe equal to any thing which can be found in larger cities in respect of menu and cuisine.
 Next door to this new cafe will be located about the same time the bowling alley and pool and billiard hall conducted by MT Scheets and iVeux, which amusement place will this win ter be the scene of a number of fine tournaments in the several games.

hat Some of them even met thu check artist on the street as they af forwards remembered. A revised yer
 sion of the appearance of Ortega wa: received and he was finally located The thing which gave him away how ever. was his prolific use of the Span ish language, in the presence of Depu- ty Olea, who had his eye on him a
 the Southern Pacific depot Ortega
 was going through his trunk and in tended to leave town on the evening train. He told the deputy he was gO- ing that evening. Ortega might vty easily have passed for an American but as soon as he spoke in good Span ish, Olea knew he was the man wanted for he answered the rest of the des- cription very well. When asked why
 he committed the folly, he said jest
 foOlishness."
 MT. Lufty and MT. Englehart of Con-
 gress both came down on the afternoon
 train to identify the prisoner. Mir. En-
 gelhart also had an interest in young
 Ortega for he owed him a $50 grocery
 bill when he skipped. Ortega also left sundry other creditors in mourning
 Lin Lou a Chinaman for $29 worth of
 board and a rooming house bill $14 rent, and a small meat bill at the meat market. He had up to this time been Ia trusted employe. MT. Lufty said he had worked for him several months ago and then went to Mexico as a salesman.
 He did not make a bowling success at that and Htrrota Mr nifty for i.lh He vas offered one ond was given money to bring his wife and chlldren tc Congress and given liberal credit about town in order to get him started again as he was financially flat:ened He was a very satisfactory emplOye and his fall from the path of honor was very sudden.
 While both the letter and the check were dated the same day, it happened that the date of both was Saturday, when Mir Lufty was out of town. His brother however, had noticed Ortega writing a letter on the proprietor's pri- vate stationery Saturday. Later he wrote out check and asked MT. Lufty to sign it, saying he wanted the money for a friend. MT. Lufty in his hurry never noticed that it was made out to E. R. Giddings. He did notice the space left before the words designating the sum but thought nothing of it till later when he heard Ortega was going to leave town. That was late Sunday night and he could do nothing. But yesterday morning he telephoned MT. Ackel of the Eastern Store to stop payment on the check as he had his Ortega however, had call ed at the bank before hand Had he made a decent job of anneXing the words it is likely that he would have been able to make clean getaway before the matter was dis covered

BUSTING THE TRUSTS"---COM-
MENTED ON BY HUNTER.

Bryan is nothing IL not reckless.
He frankly declares he will abolish
the trusts. And there is no question
but that HE will make the effort IL
he is elected.
The democratic program says that
every Interstate corporation controIl-
Ing 20 per cent of any product shall
be licensed and that any corporation
controlling so per cent OF a product
shall be prohibited.
Now that program involves first the
establishment in Washington of an
immense bureau for supervising the
bookkeeping. the business affairs and
the producing power of every business
concern of any consequence in the
United States.
Tens OF thousands of business ex-
perts, trained bookkeepers, statistic
ians, tabulators and stenographers
must be employed. Millions upon mil
lions must be paid out for conducting
such a bureau.
In New York state the public SER
vice commission has been at work for
two years or more. There is already
arising a great protest because this
commission is spending millions of
public money without accomplishing
any important results. IL IL costs so
much in New York state to supervise
only the public service corporations
what would IL cost in the United
States to supervise corporations of
every type?
Aside from the gigantic expense of
such an undertaking there is another
consideration of importance. We
know that most public commissions
are sooner or later controlled by those
whom they were intended to control
For instance, our banking commits
sions, insurance commissions, railway
commissions and public service COM
missions are usually PACKED by the
corporations, SO that instead of repre-
senting the people they represent
these varied interests.
IL is Inevitable that the same thing
should occur IL a commission were set
up in Washington to regulate the
business OF the entire country. Such
a wholesale regulation commission
would arouse the interests as moth
ing else has ever done. and it would
be well-nigh impossible to get men to
serve on such a commission who could
not be Influenced by some private
business interest
But while believing Mr.. Bryan's
scheme to be both visionary and un-
necessary, let us grant for a moment
that he would met with success.
Suppose We were to smash the trusts.
