by Amos Jury, who has admitted
sending the bomb to Bailer.
Jury confessed he had promised

his 17-year-old daughter in return
for construction of the bomb.
Jury declared he was in love with
Mrs. Bailer and hoped to kill her
husband, then re-win her affection,
Carrigan steadfastly refused to
admit any knowledge of the bomb

some dynamite last week.
Carrigan likewise denied any
knowledge of the marriage contract
which Jury admitted existed be-

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

Color blindness is very rare in
women. but in men it occurs in
every three to four persons.
The condition has no signifi-
canoe so far as is known. but it
is often an annoying defect for
those. who suffer from it. The
condition is usually hereditary,
but why. remains a mystery.
In those who have been eX.
amined for color-blindness it has
been found that the defect gen.
orally ex.sts in both eyes. 1t is
also to be noted that color-blind-
ness does not in any way inter
fere with the other functions of
the eyes such as clearness OF
vision, movement. of the eye.balls,
etc.
The degree of color. blindness is
very variable in different individ.
uals. Very seldom indeed does
one find a person who cannot
appreciate any colors at all.
When this does occur it is usually
due to paralysis of the optic
nerve itself, which is to be found
at the very back of the eye, the
retina.
The usual color defect found is
inability to perceive the funda-
mental green, red and blue.
Sometimes the sufferer has diff
ficulty only in distinguishing be-
tween shades of these colors
especially green and red, and he
finds it difficult, for instance, to
pick out a red apple hanging in
the green foliage of the tree.
Color-blind people often say
that certain shade of green
looks to them like brown, some
times a shade Of green may APP
pear like gray. Often the same
shade of green or red or blue will
appear differently to them at
different times.
The truth of the matter Is
that q color-blind individual usu'
ally guesses at the color when
the colors which he does not per.
ceive are presented to him. Not
only is his perception of color
differences defective. but his color
memory is usually also very poor.
There are several theories
which have been advanced con
corning the causes of color-blind-
ness. All are rather compli-
Gated. Nevertheless, viii briefly
mention three of these theories.
The Herring theory states that
color sense depends upon chem.
ical changes in three different
visual substances in the retina,
namely, white black, red.green and
blue-yellow. 1t is stated further
that by decomposition and re-
composition Of these substances
the sensations of color are pro-
duced. The theory holds that
or.blindness is caused by the
absence of one or two of these
visual substances.
Next there is the Elridge.Green
theory. This has to do with the
so-called rods and cones which
are in the back OF the eye. or
retina. These rods and cones
are special types Of sensitive
nerve tissue. The theory supposes
that when an image is photo
graphed on the retilk It IL &c
conplished by the decomposition
Of the visual purple In the rods.
