DOES COLOR BLINDNES8 LIE IN THE BRAIN *ND NOT IN THE EYE?

An Apparatus That Headers Torpedo Boat* Invisible at Night—Home of the Xtosirable Results Obtained by the Kleetrie Lighting of Steamship*.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steamship company has, daring the past few years, been gtadualiy fitted with the electric light. The plant is erected on the Victoria and Britannia by the Anglo-American Brash Electric Light company, London. The Peninsular and Oriental company's vessels pass through the Suez canal, and, according to the present regulations, are allowed to stoam on at night, instead of being obliged to moor at dusk, if they are provided with search lights.

FIG. 1—ELECTRICAL BOW LIGHTS, FOB SHIPS.

For this purpose the Brush company proTides the apparatus illustrated herewith, and recently described in Engineering. This consists of a cage, which is ispejidcd over the bows of the vessel, and is lowered to within eight feet of tlio water. In this cago is mounted a lamp taking a current. The lamp is regulated by hand by an attendant, who cits behind ifcaad foods the carbons together as they aro consumed. Tl» beam is reflected by a mirror 23 inches in diameter and 12 inchcs focua, and then is spread sideways by a dispersion lens, which widens it into a sector subtending an angle of 22 dogs. The direct rays of tiie arc aro prevented from leaving the lantern by a carbon shield, but as tho crater is turned toward the mirror there is very little loss from this cause.

By the one of this .apparatus tho time of passing through the canal is reducocl from an average* of 3® hours to 15 or 18 hours. In tbe caoo of a vessel fitted v.-ith a duplicate plant, the spare-dynamo is employed to work tboarc iaxnp i:i passing tho canal. Vessels that arc not

Tlvr Origin "1 Color Uliidno*s.

Professor Ramsay suggests that tho origin of color blindness lios in the brain and not in tho cya Seieiw*, Commenting on this suggestion, tolls Iraw the priuclpal of a school in Brooklyn some years ago insisted upon treating every casoof thw sort as boing dependant on tho will of the pupil. His remedy was tho rod This certainly seemed a tyrannical a.:d unwarranted treatment, bnt tho result was favorable to his theory. Is it possiblo that a thorough oxaminntkm will ultimately demonstrate that the fault lies very largely In tho shiftless methods of observation which have grown up uw ier the old -classical system of education, and which have a large extent become hereditary! Professor Ramsay's wggtetioa and his argument deservo careful attention, and, if found correct, we have another and overwhelming reason for the newer education. At first sight, it Js not perfectly clear, on the abovw theory, why it is that color blindness should be memo common amoug men than among women yet it is possiblo that this will be found to bear out the suggestion made above, for, with the discontinuance of the wearing of colors by the men, their interest in colors to a largo extent must have ceased and if our old methods of education were to be contiuund much longer, it may be, that, with tho less use of color by women in their dresses, an increase of color blindness might result among tbcm as well It is doubtful, however, whether the introduction of the rod as a quick corrective will find many advocates.

Concealment of Torpedo Boats.

One of the well known drawbacks is torpedo boats is the visibility of the flame and •moke when within a distance of 2,500 to 8,000 yards of the object to be attacked. Experiments at the Rochofort arsenal and on tho Seiao with an apparatus invented by an engineer of the name of Oriollo, of Nantes, as is reported, says Scientific American, have demonstrated that bis arrangement is capableat night of quite obscuring the torpedo boat. The flame and sparks disappear, the moke, which is reduced in temperature from 100 digs. to 90 to 40 (kgs., spreads itself out in a horizontal layer over the surface of the water, becomes inhalable, and envelops the boat in an impenetrable vapor, which the electric search light to discover the boat A notable point in the application at tbe arrangement is that it in no way whatever interferes with the proper working of tho engines of the boat. The steam pressure and tbe speed remain undiminished. The

improvement is confined exclusively to the funnel, and the extra weight which it adds to the boat is insignificant, France is engaged in applying this improvement, and Spain and Italy will, probably, shortly introduce it to their navies.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Good, Old Fashioned Ner Ine—A Brisk Bon Down Stall-.

For sleeplessness, restiessaoes and nervousoess in general physicians usually prescribe bromide, chloral, landannm or morphine, whichever they happen to favor most A correspondent of Good Housekeeping reminds us, however, of an old fashioned herb —scutelaria, or skullcap—that is "safer than bromide or opium, brings to the sufferer none of the ill effects that are Sure to result from a continued use of either of these drugs, and is often a more powerful quietus of diseased nerves and an over active brain." "Tears ago," she says, "when one of a household fell sick and became wakeful and nervous, our grandmothers would steep a generous handful of the skullcap herb and the patient

Many who are addicted to old time methods and medicines, and others who have accidently learned tho virtues of this particular herb, will quite agree with the above estimate of it The dried herb can be obtained at any drug store.

Warm Milk a Stimulant.

According to Medical Record, milk heated to much above 100 degs. Fahrenheit loses for a time a degree of its sweetness and density. It is affirmed that no one who, fatigued by over exertion of body and mind, has ever experienced the reviving influence of a tumbler of this beverage heated as hot as it can be sipped, will willingly forego it because of its being somewhat less acceptable to the palate. Tho promptness with which its cordial influence is felt is indeed surprising. Some portion of it seems to be digested and appropriated almost immediately, and many who now fancy thoy need alcoholic stimulants when AThnnBtod by fatigue, will find in this simple draught an equivalent that will be abundantly satisfying and far more enduring in its effects. ,, }j2

Cotton Wool in the Ears. ~Jt-

A Berlin physician advises that only during extreme cold, or stormy or rainy weather should cotton wool be inserted into children's ears under ordinary conditions tho healthy oar does not need to be protected. This precaution must be taken in tho case of every ear predisposed to inflammation. All persons whose membronao are perforated ou^ht to protect their ears with cotton wooL Tho entrance of cold fluids into any oar must always be prevented and so, while bathing or diving, the ear ought to bo plugged. Patients with perforations of the mombranm should be very careful in this respect, ns violent inflammation may be caused by the entrance of cold water.

Shake Up the Internal Mechanism.

It is a good rule, says an intelligent physician, always to ride up in an elevator, and when coming down to take the stairs. Like going up hilL, walking np stairs is hard work and sometimes risky, especially for people with weak Inugs, defective respiratory organs, or heart disease. But going down stairs hnrts nobody, but is good exercise going down on a brisk run is a good thingit shakes up the anatomy without incurring tho danger of physical overexertion. This shaking np is good for one's internal mechanism. which it accelerates, especially the liver, tbe kidneys, and tbe blood circulation.

and it is really justified in a degree by the actual results, up to a cortain point, of the public school system and of democratic manners, leveling up instead of down. In support of his opinions, the authority quoted continues as follows:

A friend of mine, giving a little girl of a birthday party in a country village, wbene this household formed the only summer visitors, naturally invited the children with whom sho played the most It would have been hard to imagine a little group more neatly dressed, on the whole, or better behaved, and it turned out, on subsequent analysis, that one guest was the child of a teacher, one of a blacksmith, one of a carpenter, two were children of a farm laborer (Amerioan) and two of a Swedish mechanic. This was as it should be but how often we hecur the .most unreasonable demands upon tbe parents of these children! They are criticised because they have not the scientific aptitudes of a German professor, or tbe eye for art that comes easily in Paris or Florence. If they have used all their advana ha is a ha an as do body if they are, on the whole, tbe equal. .f those pursuing the same employments and living on the same incomes in other countries, that is all we can reasonably expect Asamatterof fact, they are not only equal, but usually very much superior to the corresponding classes in other countries.

Story of a fiinflff Pur Hunter and"Wo If—The Bright Side of Ufa Amid lee and Snow—Two Popular Winter

The stories recently told of intense suffering

and

sad loss of life caused by

extreme cold weather and lack of sufficient fuel, have no doubt brought tears of sympathy to the bright eyes of many of our young readers. But, fortunately, this dismal sile is only one phase in the lives of those who dwell where snow falls and ice forms.

FAVORITE SPOUTS OH SNOW AJCD IOT.

In our cut is represented a bright side, much enjoyed by the youth, not only at the northern and middle states, but Canada as well.

two popular winter sports are here

depicted, tobogganing and skating. It is a difficult matter to decide which is the more enjoyed. Tobogganing as yet possesses the merit of novelty in the states, although it is not anew pastime in Canada.

In thi« connection it may not come amiss to give a rulo or two to young skaters. A rule often broken is the one referring to keeping tho knees straight when skating. Nothing appears more clumsy or awkward than a skater who keops the knees bent The beginner should stand as in tho third position in dancing, with his right heol in the hollow of tho left foot The two feet will thus form ri~ht angles with each other, and it is from this position that the first step in skating is rnado.

American manners find an able and sensible champion, who remarks, in Harper's Basar, that it is tho commonest possible tendency, when comparing our American people with others, to demand of every body the standard and manners that are elsewhere demanded only of a limited class.

A Wolfs Wonderful XSnduranoe.

Three large wolves having made havoc among the train dogs of a party of fur hunters, a price was set upon their heads. An old experienced wolf is not easy to catch indeed, his cunning in avoiding all traps is quite wonderfuL But an old Canadian, hoping to gain the reward, set some spring traps, which he fastened by a chain to a very large piece of wood. A tcrriblo storm kept the old trapper at home for three days, but length he visited his traps, and found one wolf caught and dead. The second trap had been set off without catching its prey, whilo the third trap bad disappeared. After long and vain Boarching the old Canadian gave up hope of discovering his lost trap, and solaced himself by having gained one prize for the ono wolf he had snared.

A month afterward the people of Green Lake (about ninety miles distant from the spot where tho traps had been set) saw a wolf walking on one of their lakes apparently with much difficulty. It was pursued and killed, and then discovered to be tho very wolf which had stolen tbe trap, for the cumbrous steel was still attached to his leg. The wretched animal must havo suffered much as be wandered through the forest for a whole month, dragging tho heavy trap in the midst of tho most intenso cold. He was reduced to a mere skeleton from -hunger, and this strange occurrence proves a tenacity of life in the wolf difficult to undorstand. •r«

HOW TO WALK WELL

THE POSITION OF THE BODY IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

Self Training Before a Full Length SKlrror—Throwing Out the Chest—A Transformation—A Positive Kelief—No Shoulder Braees Needed—A Quick Walk.

To walk well, then, requires cultivation and exercise of tbe muscles of tbe entire body. The very positiou of the body is of great importance. Do you think that you walk well? Have you ever criticised yourself! Let us see. You can be tbe best critic if you will listen.

Stand before a full length mirror. Notice your appearance, down to your very feet Now turn sideways, and look carefully. Don't you see how your shoulders and hips are carried forward! You carry your head very well, but are you graceful! Now, keeping your exactly natural position, walk slowly back and forth past the mirror (which should reach the floor). When you step, does not your heel come down first, and does not the whole sole of your foot show when you walk up to the mirror facing it? Now stop, turn your profile to the glass, and, without moving the body, look at your reflection. Then slowly straighten the spine, and throw out the chest and pit of the stomach by taking along breath and finally contract the muscles of the abdomen. This drawing in of the abdomen involuntarily throws out the chest and throat Soldiers have this exercise taught them as one of the first movements toward gaining an erect position.

Now see tho change in your appearance! Your awkwardness is gone. Your spine has a gentle curve from tbe base of the neck to the end of the body. The small of the back is hollow the waist is smaller the hips are well thrust back. Now straighten the knees and press the whole body slightly forward until it rests, not upon tbe beels, but slightly upon the ball of the foot and tbe hollow of the instep. Then raise the head, drawing in tbe chin slightly but never enough to cause a double chin and look straight Stand thus for an instant, with tho arms hanging easily at the sides, carrying them rather back of the line of the body than forward of it. Do you see the transformation! Of course you area little stiff at first and cannot overcome a decided unfamiliaiity with the figure* you see in tho glass but will you not admit an improvement in your appearance?

Walk back and forth before the mirror, always keeping the erect position. Now stop and suddenly drop into tbe old and natural (or, rather, tbe unnatural) position you havo always assumed, simply because you havo never known better. One glance is enough 1 Would you have believed that so simple a movement as contracting tho muscles of the abdomen and strengthening the Kpine would alter you so greatly?

Practice, assuming this (Kwition constantly, and after a week you will fiud it a positive re* lief. Your former drooping, stooping position will soon become painful, and you will gladly assume the upright one for a rest After a time you will find your walk changed, involuntarily. As your back and hips go stronger, the muscles of the calves of the legs will harden, and a firmer walk or step will result Practice walking on tip toe around your room, a few steps at a time. Raise the body on the toes, and bend the knees backward and forward. Exercise the hips by bending the body in every direction. Walk every day, but do not over fatigue yourself. Exercise carried beyond comfort is injurious and never improving.

Do not carry the body stiffly, nor tho shoulders so far back as to be awkward. Many people put on shoulder braces, and fondly imagine they are gaining a magnificent carriage by wearing them. The effect of shoulders thrown far back (as they aro with braces), with the chin, neck and abdomen and hips thrust forward, is awkward in tho extreme. No shoulder braces are needed if the chest and pit of the stomach are thrown forward and the abdorien contracted. Too straight a spine is awkward. Carrj the body easily, lightly, and grace will come with practice.

Remove the shoes, and in the stockings walk the floor of your room. Step first on the heels, then bring down tbe foot flatly, as the Irishman does. That is not graceful, is it! Now try another way. Walk around on the ball of the sole of tbe foot (wbich is between the instep and the toes) without touching the heel to tbe carpet. Can you not feel tbe muscles strain in tho calf of the leg? That is the way they should do. After a few trials you will find that you can so place the foot in taking the step as to lightly touch tbe heel tho instant after tbe ball of the sole re*ts on tbe floor. In lifting tbe foot to tak- the next step, slightly and almost imperceptibly push against the floor with the toes of the foot you are raising. Then continue to step, practicing these movements.

If a quick walk is desired, the inner side of tbe sole of the foot (the ball) usually touches tbe floor first, and also pushes the floor upon lifting it to take the next step but if a slow and dignified step is desired, let the outer side of tbe ball touch first Then as the foot is raised there is a slight roll of tbe sole, so that when tbe push is given, it again comes from the inner side of tbe ball, ns before. This requires a little time, and the step is necessarily slower. There should be no hesitation peroeptihle. Dignified men and women instinctively assume this position of the foot as it gives greater firmness and solidity to tbe step, and tbe balance in walking slowly it thus preserved.—George Winthrop in Demorest's Monthly.

The Mas Who Smells Gold.

When a mining stampede takes place, men, women and youths with sober countenances prematurely aged, are not to be stayed. The difference between mining and mule stampedes is not so great Tbe mining stampede as lone as it takes tbe people to reach their destination, and they have always a point in view, while tbe mules, with a cbot ns of snorts, start off in a huddle for nowhere, and it* all over in an hour or two but there is alike iasaee anxiety to go in the brain of both. The human animal has a stronger will and feebler endurance.

When a suffering drove of cattle smells water miles away, after along drive over a dry section of country, tbe poor frenzied things run over each other in their mad tight—and trample down the weak as the mass behind presses forward, tumbling over intervening brinks, one on top of another, to the cost of life and limb Tbe stampsded man whomneHs«o*d thinks he is concealing a similar frantic ststeof mind b/ moderate cool neat of word and act, but he isn't—Overland Monthly.

Cigarette Smoking on the Increase.

When a pale looking young man entered a large cigar store on Broadway recently, and walked up to a counter, a salesman handed him a ten cent package of cigarettes without waiting to hear the customer's order. The young man paid for them, opened the pack

and went out puffing nicotine loaded smoke in the air without a wortl being exchanged between him an the salesman. "You appear to have learned the wants of your customers pretty well/' remarked a gentleman who bad just invested in a fragrant Regalia. "Yes, some of them." And he banded out another package of cigarettes, this time to a nervous looking young man, with just the slightest evidence of a coming mustache under his purple hued nose. "I saw the statement a paper a few days ago," suggested the gentleman, "to the effect fh»t. the habit of cigarette smoking is on the decrease. Do you think it is truer' "There are," said the dealer, "8,000,000 of cigarettes made in this city every day in the year, with the exception of Sundays, and fchia enormous number is on the increase every week. There are, perhaps, 50,000 cigars smoked in New York every day, while fully one-half of the cigarettes made in this city aro consumed here. No use to say they are poisonous. No use to publish that boys and young men are made lunatics and are dying every day from the pernicious habit of cigarette smoking. They continue to smoke and the rising generation begins it early. I have seen and know well the evils of it, but it1* not my business to lecture a customer when he calls for them," and he turned to wait on Another young man who took jkage of tbe cigarettes.—New York Evening Sun. mt is A Dead Indians' Debts.

Since that time $890 of this amount has been paid me by bis relatives. Kentucky died the other day owing mo about $55. Already bis relatives have approached me on tbe subject and made arrangements to pay me tho amount It is a law with them to pay the debts of their dead relatives and they never break it I am sure of getting my money if an Indian dies owing me, but when a white man dies leaving no property, no matter bow rich his relatives, I never expect to get a cent There is a great dead of good about a dead Indian, anyhow," jmid the ex-merchant as he closed bis interesting conversation aud walked away.—East Oregonian.
