as far as new experiments have gone,
seem TO indicate that some mammals
IS to say, the shorter rays OF invisible
light which pass through the human
eyoball, unheralded and unseen. are
blocked and imprisoned In some animal
eyes.
What Animals See.
Experiments on rabbits. rats and other
mammals show that the blue and green
colors have an elevating, stimulating
value far above that of yellowish or red
colors.
DR.. c. Hess took chicks. whose eyes
were first accustomed TO the light, into
a dark room and placed before them
grains of corn illuminated with red ana
orange colored lights. These chicks
pecked continuously at grain colored tn
various ways until such colors as blue
and green were used.
Here they began TO slow up ana re-
fused to peck at blue, violet ana ultra
violet illuminated corn.
Pigeons thus tested by Prof. watson,
DIR. LASTLY, and independently BY me,
behaved usually much the same as
pear to see red even as you and !. They.
however, do not venture as far into the
blue light as do chickens.
In brief. their range OF color ylsloh
Is more restricted than the aforesaid
Birds that have q keen sense Of sight

swallow, house hawk. small owls ana
horned owls. as well as the kestrei.
which prefers the brilliant sun, see as
much red orange, pink. yellow. green
and blue as does mankind. but they
are short in their accounts ct ths
violet end Of the railbow.
Fish are found to prefer color OF the
green. yellow and Ereenish blue. vel
iowish blue sort. They do not see as
much of the red as birds and humans
do, although pinks and browns are mo-
ticed, Orange and red seem to have
little valuo to the eve of the hsh.
Amphibians. turtles and other reptiles
see blood in the moor as birds and men
do. In word, red and orange mean
something to them. but their eyesiEhs
again falls short for the blue. violet
| and ultraviolet tints.
Frogs, however. resemble our own
range OF vision. The amputated, iEo,
lated eye OF a frog can be stimulated
| by tho self-samo colors Of the rainbow,
which only too often send foolish men
chasing after birds OF PARADISE and
pots of gold.

1--WE been wondering why some
Of the presont-day advanced

in the theater. People talk
and boast about the change in the
trend of thought. and then appear to
be perfectly satisfied to attend old
