BERLIN, February THE North
German GaycHe says that yesterdays
manifestation in the Reichstag teStities
not only to an agreement of the whole
German people with Prince Bismarck's
policy, but it also testifos to the unity
and strength with which they are ready in
every way TO accomplish their task and
act as guardians OF peace.
The A0tjOHdi /ett,0lG says. CHS

gressiye war are and will remain the
permanent guiding star of German

The l'OSstche X,HURG says 1t is inn
possible to bnild a golden bridge for
peace IN a more friendly manner than
Prince Bismarck did in his speech yes

The TagcjioH says Prince Bismarck's
review Of historical events displayed a
love for peace carried to its furthest
limits, which Is only permissible TO
state Of feeling which is itself strong.
The De0tschc I1DcbhqH says that no
German ever appreciated the yalue Of

political and official circles here it
is believed that the profoundly
pacific tone Of Prince Elsmarck's
speech in the German Reichstag yes
tcrday, which agrees with kus-ia's
aspirations, Will produce an excellent
and tranquilhzing impression every
whore.
The Nor0c Ire7nya says: The speech
WIS a masterpiece. Bismarck WAS calm,
selfreliant, and perhaps sincere through
ont, and his speech Vas undoubtedly pa
cifc jn tone. The speech WIS well de
liyorcd. The statements contained in it
were too clear to deserve hostile criticism.
The attack on the Russian press could
equally have been addressed to the Ger
man aud Austrian press. Other pas
sages in the speech are such that every
Russian patriot would gladly repeat
them. The peroration was especially
full of feeling

journals here crlticise the references in
Prince BiSmarck's speech 10 Bulgaria.
Well-nformed persons believe that Bis

coincide with those Of Austria. The
speech Is regarded as confederation OF
the impression that the AusJrO-German
treaty was published WITH a peaceful in
tention. A peaceful ending of the nm
satisfactory situation Of European affairs
is confidently expected.

WASHINGTON. February 7.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Rodmnn II. Price, of New jersey,
who is now in Washington, sent a letter
to-day to every member of the National
Democratic Committee urging San Fran
cisco as the place for the meeting Of the
National Democratic Convention next
summer. The letter was written at the
suggestion of a number of prominent
San francisco citizens. and 1t declares
that the selection OF that city would be
not only deserved compliment t. n
Youthful city and section, buta sagacious
choice from political point OF view. The
spaciousnesss of San Francisco conyen-
ton buildings and hotels is referred to
as an important consideration ana 1t IS
stated that the price OF tickets viii
assuredy be reduced so low that DO OBJ
lection can possibly be made to the
selection OF that city on the ground of
expense. 1t Is further suggested that
bv fixing July 7th as the date OF the con-
yention the occasion may be highly
commemorative one in celebration OF
the first raising OF the American flag
over California on July Z, 1916, the
ACQUISITION OF the territory under the
administration Of President Folk, aud
the wonderful development OF the terri
tory since its acquisition.

The Senses Of Co;or and SOnnd re.
fnrcn.


Some interesting experiments on tho
reciprocal influence OF organs Of sense
bave been recently made by Herr Or.
hanschtsch, 81 Vienna. Ills general
conclusion is, SAYS AdfUrc, that any
sense excltntiOn has for result an increase
of the acutcncss of other senses. Thus,
sensations of hearing sharpen the visual
perceptions. II colorodpates are placed
at such a distance that one can
hardly distinguish the colors, aud
various sounds are then produced the
c0lors become generally more dis
tinct the higher the sounds. Sim
larry, one can, while sound affects tho
ear. read words which one could not read
before. Again, the ticking Of watch ~
better heard when the eyes are open than
when they are closed. Red aud green
increase auditive perceptions but blue
and yellow weaken them. Several musi.
clans, however, were agreed that red,
green. yellow, and blue caused an inten-
sifcation Of sound about one eighth I;
while violet had weakening effect.
Taste, smell, and touch are under
like laws. Light and red AMI
green color, increase Their deli
cacy while darkness, blue aud yellow
diminish it, Under the influence Of
red and green, taste extends from the
anterior border Of the tongue 10 the
whole surface. On the other hand,
strengthening Of smell, taste, or tOnch
exalts the ether sensitive ptSS,iS,oas-.
SpaetaIlv iutqreatipg H. tha rceipr,Aral IN
fluence OF touch and the sense Of tenn

hair and plunge the hand in hot water
the tickling sensation ceases on the
contrary, if the hand be placed IN cold
water and a part OF the body tickled tho
temperature is felt more wildly. Herr
Crbanschitsch finds IN this reciprocal
action an explanation OF supposed double
consecutive sensations on excitation Of
