MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind. -.

The various tests for color blind.
ness have come into practical use in
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, SO that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But it is not gener.
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is, in certain parts of the field of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but In their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue. This region of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness. An inter-
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low.
est stage, and appears in such ami
mails as the frog, whose vision is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance Of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, accord
Ing to this theory, lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage of indi-
vidual life.-Strand Magazine.

A TRADITION TO REPEAT ITSELF

The story of the construction of the cathedral on Morningside Heights bids fair to fall in with the tradition of church-buflding in Europe. We have the comparatively Ieisure1y pace at which the work is carried on; not quite so deliberate as Cologne or Mi Ian, to be sure but sober enough for our electric age. It must be close to 20 years since ground was broken on Morningside Drive and we are still far from the completed structure. Ira d1tfonal, too is the change in arch1- tect and plans during the course of thew ork.
 In medieval Europe such changes were inevitable as one generation Of constr uctors. succeeded another and put it's own ideas and personality in- to the fabric. Perhaps it is well that great ecclesiastical nonu1ne nent should embody the doubts, the hesita- tions, and the changes of mind of men as we'll as their aspirations and their faith.
 Rather novel is the decision of the trustees to submit the alternative plans for the completion of the cathe- dral to the adjudication of the public but the idea is not entirely new.
