sible, in order to favor the action of solar
light, so that it may be admissible at any
hour of the day The patients should pass
the night in rooms oriented to the east and
to the south, and painted and glazed as
above. DR.. Ponza, following the instruc-
tions of the learned Jesuit, prepared several
rooms in the manner described, and kept
several patients there under observation
One Of them, affected with morbid tacitur-
nifty, became gay and affable after three
hours stay in red chamber another, a
maniac who refused all food, asked for some
breakfast after having stayed twenty -four
hours in the same red chamber In blue
one, highly-excited madman with strait
waistcoat on was kept all day an hour af-
ter he appeared much calmer. The action
of blue light is very intense on the optic
nerve, and seems to cause a sort of oppres-
sion. A patient was made to pass the night
in violet chamber on the following day
he begged DIR. Ponza to send him home,
because he felt himself cured and, indeed,
he has been well ever since DR.. Ponza s
conclusions from his experiments are
these 1.-THE violet rays are, Of all others,
those that possess the most intense, electro
chemical power the red light is also very
rich in calorifc rays; blue light, on the
contrary, is quite devoid of them at well as
of chemical and electric ones. Its benefcent
influence is hard to explain as if is the
absolute negation of all excitment, it sue
ceeds admirably in calming the furious ex-
element Of maniacs."

When the Baroness is absent yachting in
the channel or at her London house, orders
by telegraph are sent to Mentmore daily
for the supplies required. The vases in
the fountain and Italian gardens cost each
81 900. The statuary is all of the most
costly kind, executed by the first masters.

Japanese Centennial Building.

The Philadelphia Times gives the follow
ing account of the method with which the
japanese are constructing their buildings
at the Centennial
"The way in which the Japs managed
the pile-driving brought many burst of
laughter from the bystanders. They had
portable tripod, about twenty feet high,
with two fixed pulleys under the apez,
from which was suspended by grass rope
cylindrical iron hammer, weighting three
hundred pounds. Six Japs on each side
of the machine sieze a grass rope, which
passes over one Of the pulleys, the foreman
stands at one side, holds up his forefnger,
closes one eye5 and then, apparently not
satisfied with this, picks up short stick,
holds it in verticle position between his
two forelingers, sights the pile with it, and
at last winks with both eyes as signal to
the workmen that the cermony of japanese
plumb -bobbing is concluded, the hammer
moves up and down very rapidly, driving
the pile an inch into the earth at every
descent, until it was time for the forman
to do a little more plumb -bobbing. The
Japs draw their planse toward them instead
of pushing them from them, and use an
ink line instead of chalk line It rcsem-
bles tape line case, and contains sponge
which may be saturated with ink of any
color +; through this sponge the cord may
be drawn and wound up dispening with
the tedious process of chalking.
ain the bamboo building not nail will
be used all the Material is there, dovetailed,
bevelled and mortised, ready to be fastened
together with wooden pins. The artisans
live in a farme structure within the
enclosure, do their own cooking and
laundry work and live on soup, rice and
dried meats, which they brought with
them in hermetically sealed cans"

EFFECTS OF THE SUN ON LUNATICS

The French Gazette des Hopitauc con-
tains curious article on this subject. DR.:
Ponza, director of the lunatic asylum at
Alessandria (Piedmont), having conceived
the idea that the solar rays might have
some curative power in diseases of the brain,
communicated his views to Father Secchi,
of Rome, who replied in the following
terms :-''The idea of studying the dis
turbed state of lunatics in connection with
magnetic perturbations and with the col
ored, especially violet, light of the sun, is
of remarkable Importance, and | consider
it worth being cultivated" Such light is
easily obtained by filtering the solar rays
through a glass of that color. "Violet,"
adds Father Secchi, "has something melan-
eholy and Oppressive above it, which, ply
siologically, causes low spirits. Hence, no
doubt, poets have draped melancholy IN
violet garments. Perhaps violet light may
calm the nervous excitement of unfortunate
maniacs." 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 win
dows, which should be as numerous as pos
