CHICAGO. July 6.-All the main
buildings of the Worlds fair. except
Horticultural, Woman's, Art, Palace,
Machinery hall and United States
government buildings, were almost
entirely destroyed by fire last night.
They were the property of the Column
bian Exposition Salvage company,
and We're purchased from the Expo
sition company for about $50, 600.
Fire was discovered in the southwest
corner of the first floor |of the termi-
nal station. and spreaai with great
rapidity. BY the tima the firemen
got to work, the Terminal station
was a mass of flames, and the fire
leaped to the Administration build
iog. In 20 minutes the dome of this
beautiful structure fell. and the blaz-
ing brands were carried by the wind
to the Mines, Electricity and Agricul-
tural buildings. Electricity build
ing was soon inveloped in flames and
the glass roof collapsed, and the
iron frame work fell in. The Mines
and Mining building went next, and
the flames became so fierce between
the Electricity and Mining buildings
that the engine companies had to fly
for their lives Company Is aban-
doned their engine, and one of their
horses was sulfocated. The fire COM
munlcated almost simultaneously to
the transportation, Manufacturers
and Agricultural buildings. Trans
portation building was in q great
part saved, but the other two soon
collapsed. Part of Machinery Hall
was also saved.
One Man Lost His Life
One man lost his life in the flames,
and another received burns from
which he may die. Besides these u
number of persons received minor
injuries.

COLOR HEARING.
DR.. Colnan's Interesting Theory About tho
Relation OF Sounds to Color.

DIR. Colman's Interesting Theory About tho
Relation OF Sounds to Color.
John Looke's blind man, who hazard
cd the guess that the color scarlet was
probably something like the sound of a
trumpet, is generally thought to have
simply spoken according to his lights,
or rather lack of lights, but it appears
from DR.. w. s. Colmans articles on
this subject that we have now laid the
foundation of science of color hearing.
The term is defined by him as applying
to the special case in which a color SEN
sation is excited by some auditory slim
ulus-as, for example, by the pronun-
citation of the vowel sounds. 1t is not a
matter of association, rs in the case of
tho "shrill squeak" evoked by the filing
of saw or the drawing of slate pen
Gil down slate DR.. Colman estimates
the number of people who possess the
faculty of color hearing us under l2
per cent and mentions case described
by Flournoy, in which the vowel "i'
awakened the impression of an orange
circle with an 81" in black in the cen.
ter
Thcophile Gautier, under tho influ.
ence OF hasheesh, heard the sound equiv.
alents (whatover they may have been) OF
various colors The notion is, at all
events, of respectable antiquity. Dr..
Colman cites as believers in color hear
ing Hoffman, Goethe and Hans Sachs
and refers to the case of ST Catharine
of Siena, who had bright red color
sensation whenever she saw or thought
