Peculiar Patches in Sky.

Not less than 182 more or less clear
ly defined dark patches m 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
contorteI 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 Con-
centrated.

Recording Tree Growth.

BOtanists of the Carnegie institu-
ton keep an interesting record of the
growth of tree trunks, with their daily
and seasonal changes Of shape, by
means of a new apparatus called the
"dendrograph." 1t has two forms,
each using as a supporting belt a
series of wooden blocks hinged to-
gether and fastened around the tree.
In one form of the instrument, plung-
ers, supporting an encircling wire at
their outer ends, touch the trunk at
selected points, and any movement
of a plunger is transmitted by the
wire to a recording pen on a revolv-
ing cylinder. In the other form, a
yoke carrying four contacts surrounds
the tree, the variation in the distances
between the contacts caused by any
change in the trees girth. being indi-
Gated on the recording drum.

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.. H. E. 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 rayA
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, its
transmission of only red rays insuring
that the normal eye will see no green.
