BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE.
The Former More Distinct at Dis
stanco Than the Latter.

Tho Former More Distinct at Q Dis.
'tanee Than the Latter.
There Is a tendency on the part Of
railroads to adopt signs with white
letters on a black background, not re-
alizing that the black letter on a white
background Is easier to read and can
be seen ut q greater distance. This
follows IN an interesting way from the
structure of the retina Of the eye.
The impression Of a letter at the
limit Of vision Is received on the ends
of O small bundle of nerves which con-
yey to the brain q sort Of mosaic I'M
preston. A nerve can only transmit
to the brain information as to whether
or not a ray Of light Is falling upon
It, and when a nerve Is partly In the
light and partly In darkness the sensa-
ton Is the same as though all OF 1t was
in the light
It follows. therefore, according to
the Scientific American, that all nerves
on the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the sen.
sation Of light 30 that all white lines
and white areas appear wider and all
black lines and black areas appear
narrower than they really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still recogniz-
able, while at the same distance white
letters grow thicker and cannot be dis
tinguished. There are circumstances
when It ia necessary to use white let
tiers. but In such cases legibilIty will
be improved II they are made with
thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black
letters are more distinct u made with
