Color Blindness.

Color blindness proves to be less
simple than has been supposed, the
defect being one Of coloring instead
Of vision in some cases. AS reported
by DR.. III. Il. Howe Of the American
Chemical society, eyes quite perfect
In ordinary color perception have be-
come weak or fatigued for red and
then have responded TO the green rayN
combined with the red from certain
red glass. A veteran engine driver
properly identified red light near at
hand, while at considerable distance
the Signal appeared green. The disc
of the lamp was found to be copper
ruby glass and this and some other
kinds of red glass permit rays toward
the blue end Of the Spectrum to pass
In mixture with the red. The use OF
selenium ruby glass is advised, It's
transmission of only red rays insurine
that the normal eye will see'no green.

Peculiar Patches in Sky.

Not less than 49, more or less clear
ly defined dark patches In the sky are
recognized by Prof. e. E. Barnard in
his latest catalogue. In some cases
they are fairly round and regular, in
others they are of complicated and
c~ontorted form and their appearance
and sharpness suggest that they are
dark clouds or nebulae cutting off a
background made family luminous by
unseen stars or diffused nebulous
matter. Most, though not all, Of the
dark patches are in the region of the
Milky Way, where so much Of the ma.
terial visible in the heavens is o n
centrated.

state highway commissioner to build

stricted to its use by pleasure cars,
however much this community might
be benefited by the increased tourist
business that would result from the
proposed construction. More and
more freight and express are going
to be hauled by automobile trucks in
the future and the sections of coun-
try possessing the better roads are
going TO gain business proportionately.
Persons who have made a study OF
conditions predict that the short haul
over railroads will eventually be al
most eliminated by the trucks in the
localities where the highways will
permit motor transportation.
During the past two or three years
big motor trucks from Troy have oc-
casionally been seen in the village.
These have been mostly furniture
moving vans used TO transport house
held effects of families moving into
or out of the village, but their use
demonstrates that such Transports
ton is practical and economical. From
furniture to general freight is but a
short step, and, with a good road
over the entire distance there is no
reason why the delays and inconyeni-
ence of shipping by railroad could not
be avoided by turning to the use OF
motor trucks.
The future of the railroads OF the
country is an involved problem just
now There are predictions that rates
must continue to advance with no ap
preciable Improvement in service II
