DAZZLING LIGHTS.
Sir,—ln a recent issue of the Herald there appeared a paragraph in which mention was made of the above nuisance, and the hope was expressed that science would solve this problem at an early date. According to an article which I read a few months ago in the Christian Science. Monitor, the solution has been gained by some Paris scientists. So far as I recollect the reflectors were rayed with the colours of the spectrum; a tiny battery caused the reflector to revolve at a rate sufficient to evolve a white light when the car lights were on. It was stated that when exhaustive tests were made of the invention it was proved that there was no dazzle either at a distance or close to the car from lamps so treated. Perhaps our A.A.A. can find out about this matter and do something to diminish the plague of dazzling lights, which are a great annoyance to pedestrians in the country as well as to motorists and drivers of horse.-drawn vehicles. F.M.B.
