DANGER SIGNALS.
M l» Uaad B.caua. It |« the Moat
Effective Color.
Be<l is the color universally used u
a danger signal because it can be seer
farther than any other color. It la also
the color that "attracts attention, ex
cites curiosity and arouses to action."
os William Churchill said In an ad
dress before the Illuminating Engi
neering society.
Green, the complementary of red. is
seen almost as far as red, but green is
the color of which nature makes lavish
use, and therefore a green signal is
less easily recognized than a red. be
cause the former may easily be taken
for a part of the background, -while the
latter always contrasts vividly with
the background. So green has been
used for a clear or a cautionary signal.
At night especially red is used as a
danger signal, red lanterns being plac
ed on torn up streets and obstructions,
red tail lights being used for motor
cars. red lamps to indicate Are exits in
theaters, factories and hotela and more
recently to mark dangerous parts of
machinery, high current wires and oth
er danger spots.
In Mr. Churchill's address, as quoted
by the Scientific American, he gave
the effective range of the several col
ored lights recognized by the Railway
Signal association under ordinary
weather conditions, as follows: Red,
three to three and one-half miles; yel
low, one to one and one-half miles;
green, two and one-half to three miles;
blue, one-half to three-quarters of a
mile; purple, one-half to three-quarters
of a mile; lunar white, two to two and
one-half miles.
Bed, no matter how distant, never
ceases to look red. This Is not true of
any other color, though a good green
fairly approximates It
Yellow light Is visible much farther
than the distance at which Its color
can be distinguished and is easily mis
taken for a "neighborhood light"—that
In a house, for Instance.
Lunar white—* pale bluish white
has come Into use as a "clear" indica
tion for switches on many railroads.
It can be recognized at greater dls>
tances than yellow und la not so easily
mistaken for "neighborhood lights."
HYPNOTIZING ANIMALS.
Evan the Deadly Cobra May Be Made
Perfectly Paeaive.
Hypnotizing a lien is a trie* known
to most country boys. It is an old ex
periment. fii-st described by the Jesuit
father, Athauasius K ire her, who laid
a hen on the table, held It firmly for
a little while and drew a chalk line
In front of Its eyes, with the result
that It remained as if in a catalepsy.
In India It is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time either colled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and turned
suddenly upside down goes into a
trance. Other animals are susceptible
to this treatment, some more quickly
than others.
If you pick up a crab and way* it In
the nir it becomes Immobile, a female
bending her legs over her abdomen, a
male sticking them out almost straight
The same is true of the fresh water
crayfish, only this resists for a mnch
longer time than a crab.
Among the insects catalepsy—com
monly known as "death feigning"—ls
common, and, according to Professor
Ernst Mangold, the learned German
naturalist, is often a means of saving
the life of the insect
According to Mnngold, the hypnotic
condition is Induced in man by sug
gestion or physical Inhibition, in ani
mals by mechanical inhibition, but
In both cases sensory stlmali may as
sist These stimuli may be optic (fix
ing the gaze on some object), or tactile
(stroking the skin), or otherwise. Some
times an absence of wonted stimuli
may Induce the state, as In the case
of absolute silence.—St Loals Post-
Dispatch.
Undiscovered Oceans of Truth.
"We may be Justly proud of what
has been achieved, bat let us not fall
to remember with Newton that 'the
vast ocean of truth* still 'lies' for the
most part 'undiscovered before us.'
However marked may be the progress
of science, her Individual votaries must
always feel a sense of humility at the
little the best of them Is able to con
tribute toward the general result"—
Sir Edward Scbaefer, in an address to
thfe British association.
Gypsies.
The trypsies are nearer to the ani
mals than any race known to us In
Europe. Tlie.v have the lawlessness,
the abandonment, the natural physical
grace In form and gesture of animals.
Only a stealthy and wary something

liamsport authorities and that of Un
dertaker R. K. Spicer had no compari

" OLD ENGLISH HOUSIS.
In the Days ef Wooden Huts, Thatohed
Roofs and Clay Floors.
The habitations ot English common
people for centuries consisted of a
wooden but of one room, with the fire
built In the center. To this hat, If ft
man increased In family and wealth, a
lean-to was added and later another
and another. Tbe roofs were of thatffc.
the beds of loose straw or etraw beds
with bolsters of the same laid on the
floor or perhaps eventually ehnt in by
n shelf and ledge like tbe bertha of ft
ship or by a small closet.
The Saxon thane or knight built
a more pretentious "hall," a large open
room like tbe Roman atrium with ft
lofty roof thatched or covered with
slates or wooden shingles. In the cen
ter of the bard clay floor burned gnat
Ores of dry wood, whose thin acrid
smoke escaped from openings In the
roof, above the hearth or by the doore,
windows and openings under the eavne
of tbe tbatch.
By day tbe "beartbsmen" and vM*
tors, when not working or fighting, Iht
on long benches on either side ef the
Ore and. as John Hoy puts It, "calmly
drlnked and Jawed" or, gathering at
long boards placed on treetlee, regal
ed themselves on some sort of porridge
with fish and milk or meat and ale.
At night straw or rushes spread en
the floor formed beds for tbe entire
company in the earlier and ruder dkjy,
when the "baser sort" were glad to
share their straw with tbe cowa Na
tional Magazine.
