COLOR BLINDNESS.
Hues Of the Rainbow That Are lnvis-
IDLE to the Eye.

/ 'S'S ~ N'N Nv
eff we look at a rainbow or tn,
solar spectrum produced by prism
we see the waves arranged in reg
uiar series-re6, orange, yellow
green, blue and violet. We alst
know that there are larger waves
below the red and smaller waves
above the violet, but these are in.
visible to the eye. Persons possess,
ing very acute color perception car
recognize seven colors in the spec.
trum," says a writer in the Strand
Magazine, "but | have never met
n person who could see more than
that number. Therefore, though
there are really millions of waves,
each differing, we can see only six
or at most seven definite points of
difference.
"Since below the red and above
the violet there are other waves Of
a similar character, but invisible,
we should expect that people would
differ as to the points where they
first recognized color, just as they
differ in their ability to recognize
very low and very high notes.
"rhis is the case. While one
person will see the whole of the red
(or the violet in the rainbow, an
other will see only half Of it, the re-
mainder being totally invisible. In
other cases the visible spectrum
commences at the orange. A per-
son of this kind will look at a red
light which is simply binding in
its intensity and declare that the
room is absolutely dark.
"The second class of the color
blind are those who see five or less
colors in the spectrum instead of
six. In the first degree of color
blindness five instead of six distinct
colors are seen. orange having dis
as a definite color. In
the next degree only four colors
are seen, blue being no longer rec
ognized as a distinct color. Per-
sons included in the above two de-
grees may for all practical purposes
be regarded as normal sighted.
''1n the next degree three colors
only are seen. Yellow is not recog-
nized as definite color. It is call !
ed greenish red. A person belong
ing to this class of the color blind

told me that red clover field in
full blossom had to him an exactly
similar appearance to the yellow OF
the spectrum.
"The green disappears in the
next degree, only two colors being
seen in the spectrum, or rainbow.
Less and less difference is seen be-
tween any part of the spectrum in
increasing degrees of color blind
ness until only the ends of the spec
trum are recognized as being differ
ent. Finally the spectrum appears
one uniform color, the individual
being totally color blind"

nEAR heart, where you are lying,

Do Joy and love and laughter
Call through the dark to you?
nOES ever the old longing
- Your quiet pulses thrill
To stray with bird and blossom
Across the spring swept hill?
A ND is your sleep too dreamless
A To feel my sheltering grief
Breathe through each bending blossom,
Sigh through each falling leaf?

THE TALE. OF The COMET.

n SCURRY through the universe,
scare the planets crazy,
! drive good folks to drink or
4 worse
A terror. though I'm hazy.
I've hustled down the Milky way.
l bear the palm at speeding,
] rocket on both night and day,
No cops my way impeding.
I've got the heavens worried so
They'd like my tail to sever
But am such a touch and go
l balk their best endeavor
I've got Old Sol we'll married now
He can't sleep eve or morning
He's jealous of my sky wide bow.
But just keep on scorning.
I've fiirted late with Venus coy,
But she is quite uncertain;
When | my arts would best employ
The sun pulls up the curtain.
AT earth last night | took a peep
That puffed up little bubble
Down there they think they know
heap.
When l close viewed that dwarf of
space
Its eyes with fright inflated,
swished my tail across it's face
faunt with insult weighted
And now I'm off across the sky
The hobo of the heavens.
To scare you stiff again I'll try
In years five and ten sevens.

fire of April 17th:-
STOWE, VT, July p 1910.
To the Trustees of Hyde Park -
DEAR SIRs In behalf OF Stowe Fire Depart
rnent | wish to thank you for the $50 sent US a:
payment for services in the fire of April II. How
ever, we feel that we did not earn the money and
that the services rendered were only demonstra
ton of good will and readiness to help. But, in
consideration of the fact that length of our hose
was spoiled, probably by the hot ashes and water
so that it burst the frsttime it was used and will
take between $40 and SIS to replace it, we are
keeping S25 for this purpose and return SIS to
you. We feel that the village of Hyde Park needs
the money more than we do.
Thanking you again, remain,
Yours truly,

KING EDWARDS CORONATION.
~ UR fathers died for England a
the outposts of the world:
Our mothers toiled for England
| ~ where the settlers smoke
upcurled
By packet. steam and rail.
BY portage, trek and trail.
They bore a thing called honor ii
| hearts that did not quail
| TIL the twelve great winds of heaven saw
their scarlet sign unfurled.
In the north they are far forward; in tn.
south they have begun.
The English of three continents, who take
their rule from none.
But follow on the CLEAN
OF an ancient, splendid dream
That has manhood for it's fabric, per-
lection tor its theme
With freedom for it's morning star ana
knowledge for its sun.
And slowly, very slowly, the gorgeous
dream grows bright.
Where rise the four democracies of Anglo
Saxon might;
The republic, fair. alone;
The commonwealth new grown;
The proud. reserved dominion, with
story OF her own,
And one that shall emerge at length from
travail, war and blight.
For surely, very surely. will come the
Prince OF Peace
To still the shrieking shrapneI and bid the
Maxims cease
Not as invaders come
With gun wheel and with drum,
But with the tranquil joyance of low
ers going home
Through the scented summer twilight
when the spirit has release.
oh, sire. no empty rumor comes up the
earth today
From the kindred and the peoples and the
tribes a world away:
For they know the law will hold
And the equal OF Old
With conscience never questioned
and justice never sold
And beneath the form and letter the spir-
it will have play.
When you hear the princeiy concourse
take up the word and sing
And the abbey of our fathers with accla-
nation ring.
Know well that true and free
By the changeess hearts decree.
On all the winds OF heaven and the
currents of the sea,
From the verges of the empire will come
God save the king!"

sour milk will proong life and cite Che
longevity of the people of eastern Eu-
cope, who live largely on this diet TO

So every one Is drinking sour milk,
FOR life is precious commodity, and
the laTest means of achieving 1t is
cheap and convenient.
Like all other fads, moderation is de-
sirable. Am exclusive diet of sour milk
Is not to be advised. Indeed, do not

clan. as it may be just the food you
should not take under any circum-
stances.
This diet il supposed to be beneficial
to the kidneys and the stomach and to

Are flies responsible for the great
spread Of infantile paralysis? Whether
the little germ-laden pests can be right
fully accused OF cursing humanity with
this latest epidemic or not. there is a
sentiment among physicians that the
nasty. sticky feet Of the house fly might
have a good deal to do with introducing
the disease. DR.. w. c. Woodward, health
officer Of the District, is one Of those
who would get rid Of all flies on general
principles. and although nothing definite
has been said connecting the insect
tribe and infantile paralysis, a communi-
cation from Seattle. WASH. received at
the District building today. shows that
the campaign against the infant malady
includes another joke for the common or
