asylum at Alessandria (Piedmont), hav-
ing conceived the idea that the solar
rays might have some curative power in
diseases of the braia, communicated his
views to Father Secchi, OF Rome, who
replied in the following terms: 1.-The
idea OF studying the disturbed state of
lunatics in connection with magnetic
p%erturbations, and with the colored, es-
pecially violet light of the sun, is of
remarkable importance, and / consider
it well worth being cultivated" Such
light is easily obtained by fltering the
solar rays through a glass OF that color.
Violet adds Father Secchi. ''has
something melancholy and Oppressive
about it, which, physiologically. causes
low spirits hence, no doubt, poets have
draped melancholy in violet garments.
Perhaps violet light may calm the ner-
vou excitement OF unfortunate mani
acs." He then, in his letter, advises DIR.
Ponza to perform his experiments in
rooms the walls of which are painted OF
the same color as the glass panes OF the
windows, which should be as numerous
as possible, in order to favor the action
Of solar light, SO that it may be admissa-
bic at any hour Of the day. The patients
should pass the night in rooms orlented
to the east and the south, and painted
and glazed as above. DIR. Ponza, toll
lowing the instructions Of the learned
Jesuit, prepared several rooms in the
manner described. and kept several pa
lients there under observation. One OF
them, affected with morbid taciturnity,
became gay and affable afterthree hours
stay in a red chamber; another. a mani
&C who refused all food, asked for some
breakfast after having stayed twenty
four hours in the same red chamber. In
! blue chamber, a highly excited mad
man with d straight-Waistcoat on was
kept All day an hour after, he appeared
much calmer. The action of blue light
is very intense on the optic nerve and
seems 10 cause a sort OF oppression. A
patient was made to pass u night IN 4
violet chamber OF the following day he
because he tclt himself cured and in
deed he bas been well ever since. DIR.
Ponza's conclusions from his expert
meUts are these. The violet rays are
of all others those that possess the mo st
intense electro chymical power; the red
light is also very rich in caloritic rays
b.ue light, on the coatrary, is quite de-
void OF them, as web as OF chymical and
| electric ones. Its bene6cent influence
is hard to explain as it is the absolute
negation OF all excitement, it succeeds
admirably in calming the furious excite
ment ofmaniacs."

L HABITS OF ANTS.

Sir John Lubbock hts been testing his
ants again, and Jet agan finding them
wanting. He has placed a glass hive OH a
pole, and on the other side Of the pole has
contrived a wooden promenade for The ants,
with paper bridges from it placed at inter
walls, leading to three pieces OF glass, on Two
Of which there was no food, while the third
contained a supply offood. Sir John Lub-
book then taught two ants-artlhcialiy
marked with a spot Of color, so as TO be re
cognizable-their way 10 the food, guiding
them over the right bridge. The creatures
soon learnt their way, and were very dill
gent in fetching the food; bu: Of the other
ants, which hal not been taught the way,
very few reached the food, most OF them
going over the wrong bridges, and no, ap-
~pareusly getting set right BY the v inltai-
ed ants. Sir john oelives tina. the ants do

usually pass by, like the priest and the
Leyi,e, on the other side. Bat d few Good
Samaritans, who appear TO feel concern for
their drowned fellow creatures, he did Oh
serve. He was obliged, however, to regard
this as an individual peculiarly. Perhaps

WHEN YOU WERE SEVENTEEN.
