COLOR BLIND NEVER HAUNTED
Professor Explains Phenomenon
Normal Eye Creates Effect of Ap-
partitions In the Dark.

Are you afraid OF the dark? There
isn't chance of your seeing a ghost
II you are color blind, which may
furnish you ray Of comfort for the
beauties of landscape and floral deco
rations you may have missed during
your lifetime. DR.. August hummer.
head of the University Of Breslau. in
Germany, Is authority for this.
DR.. hummer explains the phenom-
enon in this way:
The normal eye has an arrange
ment of tiny rods and cones in the
retina. The rods perceive light and
the cones dark color. When a per-
son with normal eye tries to see
in half dark place the cones, which
are useless, interfere with the effec-
tive action of the rods. and the con-
fusion creates the effect of apparitions
that come and 60 and change their

into evvry aerodromons II to contrst
the flight and to start the wings. On
account Of the extreme simplicity Of
the mechanism and the tremendous
strength of cirynith. the aerodromone
is, practically speaking. indestruc-
tible."
"But' how can one machine capture
the other, or even fight the other. un-
der these conditions? ?" asked the count
anxiously.
There are two ways in which a ma
chine may gain victory over the other.
One is to disable the brain of the ma
chine. that is. the man behind the
wheel"
How can that be done?" asked the
count eagerly.
"Cirynith. as you know. is harder
than anything except the diamond, 30
believe II hard steel bullets were
made with diamond points they would
penetrate the comparatively thin shell
of cirynith that defends the airman.
However. this is only theory. Ex-
periments must show the advisability
Of their manufacture"
What Is the other way?" r,
THAT is certain method, and n
based on the laws of electricity that
seem to govern aerial navigation"
What is it?" asked the count, impa-
tiently. as Santos hesitated and looked
at Rositta-
1T is the same as when a boy takes
piece Of amber or any other sub
stance that can be magnetized and
lifts up a paper scrap. The quicker
airman has to maneuver SO as to alight
on top Of the hostile machine. The
lower machine then sticks to the up
per, like the paper to the amber, only
with such great force that 1t cannot
be released until the current is stopped
and the necessary insulation between
the opposing forces is obtained"
But the wings Of the lower machine
might strike the upper" remarked the
count.
1T looks that way" answered San
tos YEARLY. It brought back the hap
py days In the service Of Napoleon.
and his heart was heavy. But. as
have mentioned, different laws prevail
in the air, totally different from the
laws that govern the land or water
The atmospherical electricity has
qualities that cannot be judged by our
present knowledge. It has to be ex.
perimented WITH Our trials on the
Island Of Ciryne showed US that the
aerodromones do not injure each
other; they might stick together, or
be hurled apart, but they are never
damaged" rs
Then you think. Mr.. Duprel, that
you will be able to capture Edisons
force?"
The little man cast an appealing
glance toward Rositta; she looked him
straight in the eyes and encouraged
him. He said bravely:
"Mr. Edison Is a very formidable en-.
emy, but our improved machines will
give us the advantage. and besides,
we will have a larger fleet"
The count was satisfied and the
work under Santos direction went on.
It took months before the factory was
in perfect shape, and the various parta
were manufactured for the aerodro
mones.
They often wondered that Napoleon
had not appeared to interfere with
their work.

HOPE FOR SUGAR INDUSTRY.

lowlands conspicuously suitable for

cit will take some time to work
out the problems which the change
In the tariff has forced on the peo-
pie here. but with such marvelously
rich soil it is not doubted a read"
justment will be made in the course
of time that will permit the develop
ment Of the great natural resources
of this section. It is regretted that
the administration did not see fit to
make a gradual reduction in the tar
if, say 5 per cent per year for ~
years, Or even 10 per cent per year
for 10 years, which would have en-
abled the sugar planter to adjust him
self, whereas the drastic manner OF
tariff removal has hit him a blow
that staggers him. There is some
hops against hope that a readjust-
ment and more gradual revision may
be provided for, but in plans being
made for the future the people are
attempting with all courage and as
much optimism as they can command
to work out the problem with condi-
tons as they stand.
Regarding the attitude of New
Orleans banks toward the sugar
planter under present conditions, Sol,
Wexler, Who succeeds Mr.. GodohauX
as president of the Whitney Central
Bank, in dictated answer to some
questions said:
Your question as to the attitude
of banks generally, concerning the
sugar industry in this state, l could
Only answer as far as same applies
to this institution. It is impossible
for any bank to lay down a definite
policy in matter of this kind, as
each particular transaction must rest
entirely upon it's own merits.
" We have confidence that the
sugar industry in this state has not
been destroyed, but needs readjust-
ment, more business-like and econom-
ic methods.
" we think it likely that We have
seen the worst in the prices of sugar,
and, as far as We can judge, a very
much more hopeful feeling prevails.
Such persons engaged in the in
dustry as are entitled to credit upon
a sound banking basis will receive
it at the hands Of this bank, whether
they are engaged in the business OF
raising sugar or any other line OF
business, there being no prejudice nor
favoritism against or for any particu-
lar line of industry /"

More Territory Freed from Cattle
Ticks.

More Territory Freed from Cattle
Ticks.
The territory in the south freed from
cattle ticks and released from quaran-
tine has been increased by 17,106
square miles by IN order issued by
the acting secretary Of agriculture, eff.
fectlve Feb. 16, 1914, releasing addi-
tional portions of Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and
Texas. This action has been taken
as a result of further progress made
in the determination of the ticks
which spread splenetic Or Texas fe-
yer Of cattle. The total area re-
leased since the beginning Of the
work in 1906 now aggregates 215, 1908
square miles and amounts to about
30 per cent Of the territory infected
at the time the work was undertaken.
Tennessee is the first of the states
extensively infested by the ticks to
be entirely freed from this pest and
released from quarantine. In 1906
about one-half of this state was under
quarantine. The order just issued
releases portion Of Marion county,
which was the last remaining part
Of the state to be cleaned up and re-
leased. The success Of the work in
Tennessee has been achieved through
hearty cooperation by state and
county officers and cattle owners
with the federal authorities.
Several other states have also
made rapid progress in getting rid Of
the ticks and now have large free
areas.

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while it
has no difficulty in securing suffi-
cient female stenographers and type
writers to meet the needs OF the de-
partments at Washington, the supply
of male eHgibles has not been equal
to the demand. Young men who are
at least Is years of age and who ere
willing to accept the usual entrance
salaries, which are $40 and 5000 a
year, have excellent opportunities for
appointment. While the entrance sal
aries are low, advancement is reason
ably rapid to those neriting it. The
examinations, which any competent
stenographer should be able to pass,
are held each month in the year, ex-
cept December, at the principal cities
