BLACK LETTERS, AND WHITE
Scientific Reason Why the Former Arc
Better Adapted for Being Read
at a Distance.

There Is tendency on the part OF
railroads to adopt signs with white
letters on black background, not
realizing that the black letter on a
white background is easier to tead
and can be seen at greater distance.
This follows in an interesting way
from the structure of the retina OF
the eye.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still recog-
nizable, while at the same distance
white letters grow thicker and cam
not be distinguished There are CIR
cumstances, however, when 1t Is nee
essary to use white letters, but IN
such cases legibility will be improved
if they are made with a thin stroke
and strongly lighted. Black letters
are more distinct if made with
heavy stroke.
