AS TO DIRT AND DISEASE
Words Have Been Considered synony-
nous. but Science Has Proved
the Contrary.

Fathers and mothers lucky enough
to have both boys and girls know how
.lean the girls keep themselves and
aow the boys disregard dirt From
earliest childhood the little girls
hands and face are washed, and she
evades dress stains, combs her hair
and tries to look nice. But every
normal boy. up to the age of fourteen,
revels in dirt and looks forward to the
Saturday night bath with virtuous con-
tempt or dread, But boys do not suf-
fer infectious diseases as much as
girls, This was brought out in an in
vestigation made of $500 children of
all ages and sexes. We requested the
mothers themselves to report what
diseases their children had had Girls
had had more infections than boys OF
the same age. This goes to support
the modern view that dirt and disease
have no necessary relation. 1t is not

Why Some Are Color Blind.

1t is known that color blind people
cannot distinguish colors, but the rea-
son for this is not generally known.
They cannot distinguish many colors,
and most of them usually give the ap-
pearance of being gray. The cause
lies in the constitution of the retina.
which microscopically consists of rods
and cones. II a certain part of the
cones is wanting the sensation they
arouse is also wanting A blind man
who does not see at all is not much
more deceived by his sight than the
color blind man. Even the normal eye
has not cones fine enough to detect
ultra violet rays and electric rays.
