COLOR ILLUSIONS.
eve;svs Effects From Red sed olss on
a Black Background

be at an equal distance from the eyes.
To some persons the red letters VIII
seem nearer than blue letters, While
70 other persons the contrary eject
will be manifested. N34
To produce this effect both eyes must
be employed. When one eye IL closed
the letters are all seen at the same dis
tance. On opening the other eye one
set of letters Immediately appears to
take position in advance OF the others.
The explanation offered for this effect
70 that a sort of stereoscOpic illusion Is
produced in the eye itself. depending
upon color. The image Of blue object
is shifted by the eye toward one side
and that of a red object toward the
other side.

twelve feet away you see the red letters
nearer than the blue, screen OIL ont

ters retire behind the blue ones.
If you screen the pupils on the side

letters advance apparently still farther

If, on the other hand. you naturally
see the blue In advance screen the In

red rings on blue paper and using the
right eye with the inner side of the pu-
pill covered the appearance is that Of
circular red hillocks resting on blue

To produce this effect in its highest
degree the paper must be held to tho

When the outer side of the pupil IN

A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM.
The Liberty Cap Dates Away Back to
Early Gresk Times.

From very early times one Of the dis.
tinguishing marks of n slave. both N
Greece and oriental countries general
ly. was the lack Of any covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the insignia Of liberty.
and when slaves were given their free
dom they were presented with cap
as an emblem OF 1t.
In Sparta the helOts wore a cap Of
badge Of servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by a
cap of different material, Of another
shape and ornamented with flowers.
A similar custom was observed IN
Rome. where the presentation Of the
pileus. or cap. was always part Of
the ceremony of nanumltting a slave;
hence arose the prOverb. ''ServOs nj
pileum vOcare."
Also on medals the cap " the symbol
Of liberty and Is unusually represented
as being held In the right hand by the
point. when a cap was exposed to the
peoples view on the top Of spear. rs
in the case Of the conspiracy against
Caesar, 1t was intended as a public In
vitatlon to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them.
The Goddess OF Liberty on Mount
Aventine was represented as holding
n cap In her hand AZ symbol Of free
dom. The JacObins wore red cap
during the French revolution. and In
England a blue cap with white bor-
der is used as n symbol of liberty.
The custom which prevails among
university students OF wearing cap
Is said to have Ind Its origin In n wish
to signify that the wearers had acquir-
ed full liberty and were no longer sub
ject to the rod Of their superiors.

the trees and yet capable Of being manufactured at
a cost Of twenty-four cents pound, which would be
commercially profitable The credit for the discovery
goes to Prof. w. H. Perkin, Of Manchester Univer-
siV. He is son Of that Sir William Perkn whose
discovery of aniline dyes wrought textile revolu-
ton, and the services of the son promise to be as
valuable as those of the father.
1t approaches the uncanny to think how many OF
the worlds great discoveries, after remaining un-
guessed from the beginning Of time have been made
and almost simultaneously by different
investigators. Such was the discovery Of Neptune
by Adams and Leverrier. Such was the case with
the law of natural selection which flashed upon the
mind Of Alfred Russell Wallace in Asia while Dar-
win keeping his own discovery to himself, was eab-
Grating his theory in England. The series Of coin
cidences is preserved by the fact that when Prof.
Carl Harries, of Germany announced his discovery
of cheap method Of manufacturing rubber, he found
that three months previously Prof. Perkin had
reached the same goal and had secured patent for
his process
