Hemingway tried to adjust his mind

color. II on a screen Of black vel
vet placed about ten feet away large
letters are pasted, some blue and
some red, the letters will not appear
to be at an equal distance from the
eyes. To some persons the red let
ters will seem nearer than the blue
letters, while to others the contrary
effect will be manifested, the blue
letters appearing nearer than the red
ones.
To produce this curious effect both
eyes must be used. When one eye is
closed the letters are all seen at the
same distance. On opening the other
eye one set Of letters Immediately
appears to take a position in advance
Of the others.
The explanation is that a sort Of
stereoscopic effect is produced in the
eye itself, depending on color. The
image Of a blue object is shifted by
the eye toward one side and that OF
a red object toward the other side.
the cause Of the shifting being the
eccentricity of the pupil of the eye.
This eccentricity may be increased
by holding a black screen close to
the eye so as to cover one-halt OF the
pupil. The effect is best viewed by
screening both pupils at the same
time. If on looking at blue and red
letters on black background placed
ten or twelve feet away you see the
red letters nearer than the blue ones,
screen of one-half OF the pupil of
each eye, on the outside. and you will
then see the red letters retire behind
the blue ones.
II you screen the pupils on the side
toward the nose, you will see the red
letters advance apparently still far
ther ahead Of the blue letters.
If, on the other hand. you naturally
see the blue in advance. screen the
inner side Of your pupils and the red
will come to the front.
1t has been shown by scientists that
very beautiful effects can be produced
with one eye alone when. instead of
letters, red or blue rings are pasted
on a background Of the opposite
color Placing red rings on blue pa
per and using the right eye with the
inner side of the pupil covered. the
appearance is that of circular red hill
locks resting upon q blue ground.
To produce this effect in its high
est degree the paper should be held
to the left and sloping in that dlrec-
tion. When the outer side Of the
pupil is screened the red rings be-
come circular trenches in the blue
paper.

Kilauea Vaudeville
Pleases Audience

The kilauea vaudeville show and
dance last night at Kilauea Went
over with hang, every number
on the program making a distinct
and decided hit and was called up
on for encores, time after time, In
fact some OF the acts we're called
back so often that they ran out
of material and had to confess to
the audience that they did not pre-
pare for such reception.
The kilauea Kwartette opened
with some barber shop harmony
that pleased the crowd and were
forced to repeat some of their
numbers. An aesthetic dance by the
kilauea school girls was the next
number ard they danced several
dances that caught the fancy OF the
audience.
Mrs. w. II. Irving sang some Sc.

soprano voice, and It must be said
that this part of the entertainment

Waimea Bank Clerk
Accused of Shortage

Shige Akahanc, aged %, a clerk
in the Bank of Bishop. Waimea
was arrested last Saturday after
noon on warrant sworn out by the
bank charging embezzlement of
$523.
According to Theo. Brandt, manag
er OF the bank, the total shortage
VIII amount to $500 all of which
is covered by the bonding company
Tho preliminary audit according to
Mr.. Brandt shows that Akahane's
method was to falsfy accounts. II
is also stated that the embezzling
has been going on for "a period Of
six months.
Akahane has been employed by
the bank for about year and II
half.
The actual charge concerns a
deposit OF $523 which tho territory
hopes to provo was sent to the
bank by depositor and that Aka
hane appropriated this money for
his own use. 1t is also alleged that
he did not return the bank book to
the depositor who had sent IL in
and 1t was the anxiety of this de-
posltor to recover his bank book
and receive credit for his deposit
that Is said to have led to the dis.
covery of the supposed shortage.
Akahane will have a preliminary
hearing before Judge, Hofgaard next
Thursday morning. Here it will be
decided whether or not he will be
held for the grand jury.
