THEY NEVER SEE STOCKS.
That 10 One Consolation That Color Blind Persons Have.

That is One Consolation That Color Blind Persons Have.
 Are you afraid of the dark? There isn't a chance of you seeing ghost if you are color blind. which may furnish you ray of comfort for the beauties of landscape and floral decorations you may have missed during your lifetime. Dr. August Hummer. head of the physical institute of the University of Breslau. in Germany. is authority for this.
 Dr. Hummer explains the phenome- non in this way:
 "The normal eye has an arrangement of tiny rods and cones in the retina The rods perceive light and the cones color. When a person with normal eye tries to see in half dark place the cones. which are useless. interfere with the effective action of the rods. and consequently the confusion creates the effect of apparitions that come and go and change their shapes.
 ."The color blind person lacks the cones. and his rods act with extraordi' nary efficiency in the dark. The color blind person sees clear. permanent outline of things as long as there is the least amount of light present. That means that he never sees ghosts.'- New York Herald.

TUITION WORKERS
 STRIKE IN CHICAGO
Machinists Refuse to Work on Shrap nel for the Allies and Go Out
 on Strike.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-1he Teuton workers on the big machines of the Torris Company in thi: city have gone on strike because the company has taken a contract to supply muni- tions of war to the Allies. The ma chinists of German ant Austrian birth constitute more than half the workers in the factory ard by strik- ing they have seriously crippled tn plant. The management are seeking American, British, French and ltal- ian workers to replace those on strike and have also asked for pol!co protection for the plant.
 The Torris company is the largest machinery house in the United States, which has not turned it's en- ergies to war orders, but recent or ders from American manufacturers for tools to be used in the manufac- ture of shrapnel brougnt on the strike.

A FAMOUS OLD HOAX.
kesly's Motor, With Which He Bat.
 fled Scientists For Years.

kesly's Motor, With Which He Bat.
 fled Scientists For Years.
 The story of the Keely motor hoax will live long. Its interest will be en- hanced by the preservation in the Franklin institute of the model or the remarkable motor that Keely built to deceive intending investors and en- rich it's inventor until the fraud was exposed after Keely's death.
 For twenty-five years Keely astound- ed eminent scientists of Europe and America with the machine that he claimed had solved the secret of per petual motion. The inventor of this machine would start his device going. apparently. by playing tune on a mouth organ. He convinced many clever men that he told the truth. and stock in the new concern sold freely.
 To the day of his death Keely de- clared that his discovery was a gen. uine one. and 1t was only when the house in which the machine was placed was thoroughly overhauled that the colossal fraud was discovered. Keely had wired the walls of the building. He ran his machine by high pressure hydraulic power. When the wires attached to the machine were the subject of investigation Keely would fle them to show that they were solid and could not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were attached.
 Pieces of wire thus filed are to be seen at the Franklin institute. The broken pieces show that the wires were hollow and that the inventor of the wonderful motor carefully stopped his filing short of perforating the cen ter, which would have exposed the |fraud.-Scientif1c American.

Why She Wept.

A young man who is very particular about his washing recently wrote a note to his washerwoman and one to his sweetheart and by strange fatality put the wrong address on each envel- ope and sent them of. The washer woman was sent the invitation to take an auto ride the next day. but when the young lady read. If you crumple my shirt bosom as you did last time I'll go somewhere else." she burst into tears and vowed she would never speak to him again.-Florida Times Union.

HEAVY EXPORT 0F
 WAR MUNITIONS
During July Exports to the Allies Tt.. tailed Value of $5O,Ooo.ooo-
 August Exports Larger.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. g. The Treasury officials report that the exports of munitions of war from the United States during the month of July were valued at $50,000,0O0. The exports consist of automobiles, cannon, shrapnel loaded and unload ed, immense quantities of dynamite, gun cotton, rifles and small arms am- intuition, aeroplanes, and even fast motor boats, which are for use against the German submarines in the war zone.
 The exports are expected to in- crease each month, as many new plants have turned their attention to- wards the export of munitions. The French, English and Russian gov ernntents are the largest purchasers, but Italian agents are now in the United States seeking war supplies.

Primrose For Memory.

The primrose of old was credited with a medicinal as well as super stitious value. Even now in some country parts decoction of primrose leaves is supposed to restore a failing memory. and in 1854. when Culpeper wrote his "London Dispensary." the primrose was regarded as an almost universal panacea. curing 'convulsions. falling sickness, palsies. etc.," and strengthening "the brain, senses and memory exceedingly" And even the healthy did not disdain to eat it. for primrose pasty was once a popular Lancashire delicacy.-Family Doctor.

Sealed Orders.

The custom of having warships sail under sealed orders arose from the de- sire of maritime powers to prevent the plans from becoming known to the enemy. In the American navy such orders come from the president and are delivered to a commander of ship or squadron by confidential messen- ger who knows nothing of their con. tents. Sometimes they are ill cipher. but they are always sealed with the official seal of the navy department. and the package cannot be opened un- til the time marked on it, which is usually several hours after the hour of leaving port By this precaution the newspapers are prevented from disclosing prematurely the movements which may be of the greatest impor- tance. and the spies of the enemy are rendered useless so far as their abil- ity to discover the secret of such movements Is concerned.

FORMATION OF COAL.
Conditions on Our Planet While tho
 Process Developed.

Conditions on Our Planet While the
 Process Developed.
 What may be said to be the stran- gest period through which our earth has passed is the one that was respon- sible for the formation of coal. The planet is described as having been at that time fat and smooth as to surface and peculiar as to vegetation. The continents were just beginning to rise above the ocean and the land had not yet become dry. Mountain ranges had not arisen from the swamps. and the atmosphere was thick with fog. In this state of affairs there sprouted and tlourished the plants which were later to furnish the world with it's coal sup ply.
 These plants grew as big as our lar gest trees. taking deep root in the mo- rass and fourfshing like the lush grasses in moist meadow land and de- veloped into the strange shapes now found in tropic vegetation. The forest looked. the scientists assure us. like dense growths of weeds. rushes and enormous ferns. Some of them grew in the shape of cact. having spines all over them. This kind of vegetation was very rich in carbon, which 1t de rived from the warm. moist atmos- phere. Then the millions of years roll ed by. the forests of giant weeds were buried by deposits of earthy material and the chemical change took place which slowly changed them into coal. This process ceased with the carbon iferous age. so that when the present supply of coal is dug out of the ground there will be no more.-Exchange

CIRCUS REVIEW

To say that Ringlings' circus. which
displayed its trappings in Topeka
Monday, was different from any cir
Gus that ever showed here may sound
commonplace but nevertheless. it is
true 1t was a circus without camels.
these bumped quadrupeds being bar
red from travel by an order of the
federal government because they
carry the dreaded foot and mouth dis
ease. The camelS were not missed by
many of the $4,000 spectators who
crowded the big top at the two per
formances and the circus upheld
its self appointed title of greatest
show on earth
Torrance the crowd received an add
ed thrill. The horse races. usually
very tame, were on and seven women
riders were making the narrow turn
White, it's rider, plunged under the
hoofs of the other horses n The crowd
instinctively rose steF its = Het. The
woman lay motiOnleSs on the ground
until three attendants picked her up
and carried her to the dressing room.
The announcer yelled:
sit 6fown-only a horse fell down
And the circus went on After the
performance Miss White claimed
that she was not hurt. Excellent horse
generalship by her companion riders
kept her from getting more than
slight bruises
The Queen of Sheba spectacle,
which opened the entertainment, i'm
mediateIy sparkIed it's way into the
eyes, of the spectators and with its
ballet of seventy-tive girls was one OF
the hits of the show. A petite woman,
known to the outside world as Mile.
Leitzel, the worlds greatest aeriaHst,
probably received more applause than
any other person with the aggrega-
ton. She did her work on a suspend
ed rope and on rings Her daring ac-
tiyity brought many "Ohs and abs"
The group of trained elephants show
ed unusual ecIeyerness and shared
honors with the trained horses for
first place among the animal per-
formers
Circuses generally have done away
with the ''death-ciips' and other hair
raising stunts and fsIngIings' show
stayed in the beaten path, leaving the
various troups of aerIalists to furnish
the thrills In spite of the fact that
circuses are more or less alike in their
performances the show pleased and
after all that is all the people want.
