Sound and Color Sensations.

Tho phenomenon of color auditor wss first brought to the attention of the sci enti6c world by Dr. Nussbaumer, of Vii ennR, who, when Q child, was engaged with his brother one day in striking 8 fork against glass to hear the ring, when he discovered that he saw colors at the same time that he perceived the sound and so we'll did he perceive tho color, that, when he stopped his ears. he could divine by it how loud sound the fork had produced. Dr. Nussbaumer was afterward able to add to his own observa- tions nearly identical ones made by a medical student in Zurich Later on, NJ. Pedrono, an ophthalmologist of Nantes, observed the same peculiarities in friend In these cases musical sounds gave sensa- tions varying the color according to the instrument played upon, thus showing the dependence of the phenomenon upon the timbre. For instance, the saxophone gave yellow sensations; the clarionet, red; the piano, blue Henri de Parville, in Popular Science Monthly, says: Popular expressions are often significant. l saw three dozen lights of all colors, or some such expression, may frequently be heard from persons who have received violent blows on the head or face. Under the in- fuence of shocks of this kind. the eye seems to see infinite numbers of sparks. Shocks of certain class impressed upon tho nervous system seem to have tho fac ulty of producing phenomena of light
 There are persons endowed with such se1sibility that they cannot hear sound without ct the same time perceiving colors. Each sound to them has it's pecu- liar color: this word corresponds with red, and that one with green; ons note is blue, aud another is yellow.-Scieuce.

James R. Keene's First Investment.

Keene is now about AS years of age, so that he is still young enough to attempt the re-establishment of his fortunes if fate affords him any opportunities at all for catching on. He was born in Eng land, but spent the es.iy part of his life on the Pacific coast. During the sos he was small speculator in San Francisco, and never met with any considerable sue cess. curious story is told about the beginning of his fortunes. His career had been so harassng and marked by so many disappointments that his health was completely broken down, and his physi- elan told him that he must abandon all further work and take long trip abroad. Just before his departure, and purely by accident, he invested in few hundred shares of mining stock which was then selling at very low figure. So unim- portant did the investment seem to him that during the year of his absence he never once thought of it, and was very much surprised on his return homo to find that the mine had turned out to be a bonanza, and the few hundred dollars worth of stock which he had purchased had advanced so in price that it was now worth over $200,000.
 With this comparatively ample fortune to operate on, Mir. Keene jumped into the San Francisco market and operated with boldness and sllecess. He soon hecarrA [

You can pass winter in comfort. There will not be seven days on which you will want to wear an overcoat. Your sealskin cap won't get worn out.

This porter is further noted for the fact that no ono has ever seen him without most astonishing grin on his ebony countenance. His mouth looks like coal mine, and when he laughs be always draws crowd. Clerks from the treasury department up the street rush in bt 'ethlessly and ask what s the matter. He has known nearly all the celebrated statesmen of the past genera tion, and is on terms of intimacy with the leading legislators of the present day. It is amusing to watch the air of impor- ta1ce he assumes when Tom Reed, of Maine. buttonholes him end carries him of to a corner to talk polities--for the fun of the thing. The witty Inn m sr tains a most solemn deueancr all throuHn these discussions. and nods his head graveiy and says "That's so!' whenever his African opponent makes strong point" Sunset Cox. too, will occasionally hold high converse with this favored darky about the limit atios1s of the in- finite.

It was day or two after this when one morning the doctor came round as usual, and when he took my hand l noticed Q changed expression suddenly como over his face. You have a little fever" he said. thought this of no importance, for knew that 1 had experienced good deal of fever; but to the doctor it meant relapse, and relapse in nine cases out of ten means death. Whether the doctor was mistaken, or whether the fever was too slight to be of any serious harm, at least felt no inconvenience from it, and became convalescent.
 And here is Q great danger to yellow fever patients. 1 felt strength that did not exist. I was taken out of bed and put in an easy chair. My attendant left me, and was tempted to go down stairs and reconnoiter. Luckily did not. Others who were i'll of the disease at the same time. relying on this deceptive feeling of having fully recovered. acted impru- dently. One of them got up and dressed himself and smoked a cigar. He was dead within few hours after his indis- cretion.
 When I was we'll enough to be told what the trouble had really been. found that had had the dreaded yellow fever; that out of party of six five had been taken down, and two out of the five had died.

 edge acquired which would enable physi- clans to cope successfully with yellow fever. During the civil war surgeon in the regular army who was attacked with the disease, eschewing his brothers in the profession, put himself in the care of an old negro woman who had had con siderable experience as nurse for yellow fever patients, and who watched him till he recovered. This certainly does not look well : the confidence of physicians in such cases, and there has been no espe- cial item of information revealed to the profession concerning the nature or eat ment of the disease since. The fever seems to gather violence as it becomes epidemic. Ordinary cases usually last five days, but in malignant cases the pa tient often dies in few hours. It is pretty well determined that yellow fever Is not contagious. In cases where s number of persons have been in the same boras with opa st-irlsan thar havA all

The Fond Parent.

szs What shaH do with my boyF' queried fond parent of a correspondent of The New York Evening Sun recently. He is It years of age and too old to spank, and yet for pure unadulterated cussedness l have yet to meet his equal He will smoke He will indulge in bad language. He won't attend school I am at my wits end"
 "Hns he an allowancef' inquired the re- porter.
 "Yes. Five dollars week,n replied the almost fearful mother
 Then fine him. Fine him when he smokes, if you don't wish him to smoke. De duct dollar from his stipend when he looks upon the flowing bowl Doct hir when hs uses language. and every time he plays h-okey or refuses to study, chip a dollar or two of his salary That will bring him to terpss
 About three weeks after he had given this advice the reporter again called at the home of the fond parent.
 How does the fine system work on Georgef he asked
 "Oh, only tolerably well. Poor boyi The first week fined him the full amount and hs didn't have cent left The second week his fines amounted to s7, and as the poor fellow couldn't possibly pay it on his S5 allowance, why well, l increased his allowance to s10, and now he's as bad as ever. 1 think he is incorrigible-n

Printers in Congress.

More printers are in the house of representatives than members of any other single occupation or profession except law. Amos Cummings, of New York was a tramp printer and has set type in every state in the un- ion. Senator Plumb was first print CT, then an editor and finally banker. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, was a printer, but afterwards studied medi- cine. Farquhar, of New York, is not only a printer, but was once president of the Typographical Union. "Tim" Campbell was a compositor on the New York Herald when he was elect ed to the New York legislature O'Donnell, of Michigan, learned the printing business and has always kept at it. Dingley, of Maine; Foran, of Ohio; Nicholl, of North Carolina Wickham, of Ohio; Hudd of Wiscon- sin; Yost, of Virginia, were all print ers.-Now York Tribune.

Annual Assessment Work

Miners and prospectors who have not already done so, should at once commence the assessment work on their claims to comply with the U. s. mining laws Only few weeks more remain in which to do the work. It is foolish to put of this necessa1y i ny until the last minate 4d Izzfs jeopardize important ils< e<eSs .5 :,
 If work on the claifzs E not cons menced on or before Jan I, 1889, they are liable to forfeiture and relocation. The weather about that time may be such in the mountainous regions as to entail great deal of extra trouble and expense. It is a bad plan to delay such work until the last moment The working of the annual expenditure feature of our mining laws is now so we'll known as to require no further explanation If the work is not done each year, the claim is subject tot re- location. When owners let location rights lapse and then take the chalhces in relocating themselves, they ar9 apt to find some one else on the ground il it is at all promising.
 The mining laws are liberal enough and should be strictly compiled with The idea of men holding ground from year to year without working it Is a bad one, and the laws are intended, to prevent this. They prevent, also, one man holding dozen or so claims un- less he does some work on them all The amount of work is plainly speci- fled, and there is no excuse for neg lecting it.

The Planet RIa-s.

Astronomers claim tha, they know Mars has aqueous vapor h it's atmos- phere. but they do not kno= which part of it's surface forms this by evaporation. Their theories follow their observations rapidly, and very few theories come to be substantiated. From the days when Dr. Dick wrote. and suggested plans of open ing communications with the supposed inhabitants of the moon. to the present, the widest ideas have constantly at tended the steady, practical investigation of astronomers. Yet the astronomer plods on with the instrument maker. and each century adds its results to those of what has been attained before. and though many wild theories attend each discovery the discovery itself remains while most of the theories die.
 However, there Is some reason for in. ferring that Mars Is composed of land and water. The water seems to be al. ways connected. Even the so called canals connect with the seas. being of the same color, and no canal ends in thecenteI of continent.

HOW THEY VOTE IN AUSTRALIA
A System Worthy of Consideration.

The subjoined inquiry and reply are taken from the Cincinnati Times Star of October 20th.
 To the Editor of the Times-Star.
 read in recent edition of your paper an interview with Rev. Dr. Me Glynn, of New York, wherein he says that he hopes that America or the United States, will adopt the "Austral- ian system of balloting" What is the system and the manner of its working!
 JOHN ALEXANDER.
 Eaton, O., October 16
 The Australian system of voting is constructed for the purpose of ''seques- tering" the voter, as the law terms it. All voters are registered as in Cincin- natti. The government prints the tickets and all candidates of all parties are on each ticket. No other tickets are allowed to be printed. On election day the polling place is established in two rooms. In the first room sits the officer of registration with the books containing the registered voters. A voter comes in. The officer looks in the book to see if he is registered, and ii he is, places mark opposite his name. Then the officer hands him ticket and he scratches off the candi- dates he does not wish to vote for or else, as Is sometimes done, puts a check mark opposite those of his choice. After this he immediately passes to the adjoining room, where ho 1IrIrro, of c1a Il, IoI lot box. He deposits his vote and passes out. Under this system no one can tell how man votes and he can not prove 1t himself afterward He is completely shut out out from outside influences. It tends to do away with bribery, because no one is likely to bribe man to vote unless he can see that the vote is cast as bought. It cai . ries to perfection what the one hun dred feet rrle attempted in our cleo tions. This system also compels the exercise of intelligence on the part of the voter because he must know who are the men of his choice or else he cannot pick them out on the ticket. l Only enough tickets are issued to the officer of registration to supply the number of registered voters at his polling place, which number is, of course, known. There can, therefore be no ballot box stuffing. If any tickets are left over they must be turned into the central office and the sum of the ballots cast, and the tickets left over must equal the number oi registered votes.

escaped contracting the disease. The fact of having had the disease once is no preventive against having It again. Per sons have been known to pass through two experiences of yellow fever and die in third attack. The horrors come rather to those who are destined to die than to those who recover. After black vomit" sets in the patient passes into convulsions, and in these terrible spasus at last passes away.
 It is disputed that one who has ''black vomit" cannot recover; but if cases of re- , covery under such circumstances have ever occurred they are very rare, and 1t is extremely doubtful if such g case has ever occurred, for the coffee grounds"- black vomit" resembles coffee grounds are supposed to be the stomach in state of dissolution, and it is not probable that one can live after dissolution of this or gan sets in.
