that returns from every county of Illinois elect the
Republican State ticket by 5,978 majority, which
the official returns from the counties not vet thus
returned can vary very little. 1t adds that the ag-
gregate Republican vote is 1925, against &c. $50
for Fremont in 1856. The increase is therefore
81 ,095, about so per cent. The Chicago Tribune
has despatch from Springfield, dated the 18th in

Singular Optical Phenomenon.

Galignani's Messenger contains state
ment of discovery recently communicated
to the French Academy of Science, of a
process by which the human eye can be
made to see every object of uniform color.
A small dose of sontonine, the bitter princi-
pie of Artemisia santonica, or worm seed,
produces this strange effect upon the vision.
A few minutes after the drug is taken, the
patient usually sees everything of green
color, but the quantity of the dose may mod
ify the effect considerably, and there are
some persons upon whom it acts in such
manner as to produce some other color be-
sides green. A young man who took five
grains of this substance, in a few minutes
saw all things yellow; upon repeating the
dose, in about half an hour he saw every
thing red. Half an hour later the red chang
ed to an orange, and that gradually to a
yellow again. To another person every
thing appeared blue, without regard to the
quantity Of the dose, and to a third the col
or was always light straw. The pheno-
mena are not permanent in all cases, but re-
turn at intervals of five or six minutes, and
they never last longer than one day. M.
Martini, an Italian physician, who appears
to have discovered this singular effect of
samtonine, attributes it to the action of the
drug upon the nerves of the retina, chang
ing their tension and vibratory action un-
der the impression of light. The discovery
thus far appears to be merely chance va
gary of medical science and not applicable
to any useful purpose; but it may, perhaps,
prove the germ of some useful invention for
the treatment Of defective sight.
