Color Blindness.

One thing is definitely shown by the
tests that have been made for color
blindness In various races-no race.
however primitive. has been discov'
cred in which red-green blindness was
the universal or general condition. and
this is a fact of some interest In con-
nectiou with the physiology OF color
vision. for il seems probable that red
green blindness siucc it is not by any
means a diseased condition represents

CANAL GRAND PIECE OF WORK,

New York, Jan. 11.-Cost of the

IF ever had any lingering doubts
as to the completion of the canal,
they were dissipated on this trip
Progress since March, 1907. is Won
aerful, and so systematic is the or
ganization, not only Of construction.
but everything in connection there
with, that it is marvel.
Il doubt, however. if the canal will
be ready by January /, 1915, as pre-
dicted. The unusual length of the
rainy season this year and next will,
in my opinion, postpone completion.
For these reasons, believe all es-
Inmates of the total cost have under
shot the mark. / believe it will cost
nearly 100000, 900 and will amount
to at least IS head for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
Zone thing l do not quite like
about the situation is that there are
not enough Americans doing the
work. There are only about 5000 of
them out of total of nearly 10000
on the pay roll.
s'I do not wish to be understood as
knocking the canal in any sense, for
it is a grand piece of work, of which
our country will be proud, but as l
contemplated the carloads of Ameri-
can money contributed by American
taxpayers literally poured into the
laps of foreigners there, could not

But one morning it happened that
there were no cloves on the bar, and
John, having considered the matter,
swallowed a small onion from the
