Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tnguish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But 1t 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 redgreen zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory lack of develop

vidual life.-Strand Magazine.
