AN EYE DISCOVERY.
POWER OF RECOGNISING COLOUR. New experiments made with tests for colour-blindness have revealed the interesting fact tiiat a person not ordinarily colour-blind may suddenly become unable to distinguish colours. When looking at two different colours near at hand a man may distinguish them easily, yet if he saw the same two colours at a distance he might not be able' to do so. The discovery is of great importance, because it shows that an engine driver or sailor might pass a colourvision test yet fail to distinguish signal lights. One man in every twenty cannot distinguish more than two colours.
