EYES TELL LIES.
People who are colour-blind were not very pleased when coloured traffic signals were introduced, and now that Belislia beacons are in general use in England their troubles have increased. Inability to distinguish between colours is commoner than most of us suppose. More men than women are victims of it. There are people who are colour-blind in only one eye. While their left eye may see red as red, their right sees it as black. A famous QuakeT was colour-blind and had only three normal colour sensations, A pink flower looked blue to him, and when he cut his chin one day he saw green blood flowing from the wound. Instances of coloured visions arc not uncommon. Some people always sec as though they were looking through green or red glass. 1
