EEFECI OE ColoRs.

A Theory That They ARect the Humap
Mind a. Well the Human sight
There are some curious things in re-
gard to the way in which the human
mind is affected by colors as well rs the
human sight. We are all familiar with
what is termed r-blinduess, aud
the unexpected results that sometimes
attend it; but color-sound Is some
thing which has received much less in
vestigation.
How much. or in what way, animals
are affected by colors, is not very well
understood; but the subject has been
investigated enough TO know that They
are Influenced by them. and the future
win probably bring out some surpris-
ing results TO the one who shall thor
oughly cultivate this comparatively un-
explored field or research. Some peo-
pie can select and appreciate the colors
of sounds; and TO them the speaking Of
q name presents. mentally. a WELL
defined color, or combination of colors,
different names having different shades
or combinations.
The same name should of course. al
ways present the same color. or combi
nation. when spnken. although, to diff
ferent people. possessing the faculty. a
given name or sound does not present
the same characteristics To prove the
first IF these two facts, list of names
was prepared. and the shade or color
given by a lady who has this power,
marked against each one of the list
After several weeks the names were
again read to her. and the colors desig-
mated by her marked. This course was
pursued several times during wear or
more. the lady not being allowed to see
the results at that time. During these
sevegal experiments the only variations
in the answers given were such rs
would be natural where there was some
uncertainty in regard to terms; for ex.
ample. the answer to a given name al
one time might be ''bluish,' and al
another s.lead-color;" so. what wa.
called 'sstraw-color'' might be after,
ward called buff The approach Il
similarity in the shade shows that tn,
same mental picture was present, and
only language was at fault
With one or two exceptions thes.
were the only changes noted in the sew
eral trials, and the extent to which tn,
experiments were carried warrant,

sieHT AND MOTION.
Two Examples OF the Illusions to Which
Our Senses Are Subject.

Two Examples OF the Illusions to Which
Our senses Are subject.
The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the remoteness of the in
formation that they give from the inn
mediate necessities of the organism.
Touch. the most immediate and least
inferential of the senses, is least sub
icct to illusions: while sight is so very
much so. that the blind often say they
hare an advantage over the seeing in
being free from visual illusions. The
Illusions Of bodily motion are much
nearer to those of touch than to thos,
of sight, and yet they can under GER
tain conditions be induced throlgh
visual impressions. OF this the writer
has recently had two intere sting exam
pies. He was standing upon the fioor
Of a railroad depot, the boards of whicl

space between them; and the shadow
of IN electric light was moving up and
down by the swinging of the light il
the wind. Looking at the floor, i
seemed as though the shadow were sta
tionary, and the foor-boards moving
From this it followed that the person
on il was moving, too, and the writer
distinctly felt the swinging sensation
in facs, his attention was called to tn,
phenomena by this feeling of motion
The other observation was as follows
while riding in the cars and looking ou

South American Mosquitoes.

Some ludicrous stories are told about
adventures with the mosquitoes. have
been solemnly assured that often when
they have attacked boat and driven
its captain aud crew below they have
broken the windows of the cabin by
plunging in swarms against them, and
have attempted to burst in the doors.
Although this may be something of an
exaggeration. IL is nevertheless true
that frequently horses and cattle. after
the most frightful sufferings. have died
from mosquito bites on board the ves-
sells. Not long ago a herd of valuable
cattle were being taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the Mag
daleua river, and became SO desperate
under the attacks of the mosquitoes thai
they broke from their stalls and all
were drowned. Passengers intending
to make the voyage usually provide
themselves with protection in the shape
of mosquito bars, head nets and thick
gloves, and when on deck are COM
PEELED TO tie their sleeves around their
wrists and their pantaloons around
their ankles. Amer can Magazine.
