ELECTRIC LIGHTS CAUSE
COLOR BLINDNESS
This Was Demonstrated by Ex-
perimentS in Great Northern
Shops.

St. Paul, April 8.-The legislature
of Minnesota contemplated passing
law compelling all railroad COM
panies to adopt electric headlights.
Mr.. Hill of the Great Northern rail-
road has experiments made in the
yards at St. Paul which gave some
unexpected results and showed the
glare of electric lights caused tenn
porary color blindness.
Big road engines we're stationed in
the yards at a distance Of from 1000
TO 5000 feet and enginemen drawn
from the crews on the road were
tried out for different periods, i'm
mediately after the trials being TAX
en- in charge by experts who exam
ined the men for quickness of percep-
tion in catching the colors of signals.
It was found that after ninety min
utes at the throttle, in the glare of
an opposing electric headlight, many
of the engineers were temporarily
color blind and utterly unable to tell
a red light from a green, or a red
light from white. Facing the tre-
mendous power of the headlight for
lesser periods give differing results
but indicated clearly that the human
eye cannot long endure the powerful
white light without becoming tenn
porarily deranged. Many of the en-
gineers found that their color sense
was perfect only with reference to
certain colors, and utterly defective
as regarded others.
AS result of the tests railway
men are opposed to the passage OF
the act and it will doubtless fail. 1t
is not believed that the use Of elec-
trio headlights will be discontinued
as result, but instead more drastic
regulations will be put into force
with reference to trains in clear
binding their lights for the protec-
tion Of opposing main line trains, and
with reference to frequent and more
careful examinations Of enginemen
for color sense and perception. The
proposed act, would have made 1t the
law of the state that all locomotives
in Minnesota carry electric headlights
of at least 1850 candle power.

METH0DISTS REJOICE
Grand Easter Day Celebration at
Opening of Elegant New
Church.

of the new Methodist church, called
McCabe Memorial church. Bishop
Robert Mcintyre Of St. Paul preached
the sermon from the text my House
Shall Be Called House of Prayer for
all the People," Rev. c. A. Mac
namara of Fargo and DR.. S. A. Dan
ford OF the Fargo district assisted in
the sermon.
The morning was a little cloudy
but not cold. A good sized congre-
CATION, numbering 500 crowded the
auditorium. The building is 62 81
feet and when fully completed will
cost 100000.
Rev. Louis Magin, the pastor of
the church, and chaplain of the last
house of representatives of the state
legislature, was the happiest man in
the state.
Many of the Methodist churches in
the state have contributed to the
undertaking and friends Of righteous
ness, who are not Methodists in
some towns have been ready to con-
tribute. S22,OSO has been paid on
the building which left $1,000 to be
raised.
The finances we're in charge of DR..
E. P. Robertson of Wesley college,
Grand Forks. . At the morning SER
vice SO, 900 was raised. At the even
ing services fully 900 persons were
seated in the new building. The un-
finished Sunday school room was
seated and pretty we'll filed. The BAL
ance of the SUN required was raised,
viz. 1920. DR.. Robertson showed
great skill and pertinacity.
1t was Bishop McIntyre's first
work in the state. He will in all
probability preside at the conference
this fall which is to meet at Mandan
In October. There have been no very
large gifts, aside from the Ladies'
Aid society which subscribed $1,000,
already having given sl,7oo. The
largest individual gift is $500 and
twenty gifts Of $50 each. About
one.fourth of the entire amount came
in subscriptions Of s25 or less.
Bismarck, April 12.-The state Of
North Dakota has $4,000 on deposit
in the Andy Jones bank at Rugby.
The bank failed but the state had
bonds furnished by three bonding
companies to cover $4,000, which
sum the bank was responsible for as
q state depositary. At the time the
bank failed there we're $4,000 state
money on deposit. The bonding COM
panies are having difference among
themselves as to the proportionate
share each should pay. The state
will probably recovered the $4,000.
but may have to commence another
action for the excess Of $1,000 above
the $4,000.
