Color. and Insanity.

The influence of the various colors on the minds of human beings (espe- cially in cases of mental diseasesl has long been a subject of curious in- quiry. In Italy, Germany and Aus tria the insanity experts have had some peculiar experience in this hne. In the hospital for the insane at Al essandrIa. in the first of the above named countries, two special rooms have been arranged, one fitted up with windows of red glass and red paint on tue walls. the other in blue throughout
 A violent patient is first taken to the blue room" and left to see what effect that color will have on his nerves. One maniac was cured in less than an hour; another, raving and furious, was at perfect peace aft CT passing a day in the calming shades of his cerulean surrounding.
 The red room" is used for the commonest forms of dementia, espe- cially melanchoha and refusal to take food. The first patient was one who had lasted seven days After only a three hours stay in the red room he became quite cheerful and asked for food. The importance of a few gen eral facts like these is obvious to all thinkers and should not be light ly overlooked, even though such treatment is of the fad" class and ''smacks of the marvellous.

A Test of Vaccination.

The London Lancet thus comments on the results of neglecting the vac cination laws in Leicester: "0f 2Sl cases of smallpox, 126 were unvacci- mated. We concede, of course, that this leaves 155 who, though vacci- mated once, had taken smallpox, but what are the vital facts of the case2 Of the 126 unvaccinated patients, no less than 63 were under 10 years of age, and in g of these the disease was fatal, whereas there was no instance of smallpox occurring in vaccinat ed child under 10 years of age, and of the i55 cases of the disease occur ring in persons-vaccinated, indeed, but not revaocinated-there were no deaths"

4 southern clergyman having a rowing commission and whose great forte was in his ability to ad- dress the children at Sunday schools commenced his remarks in Brook lyn by stating that on his way north ward he had on previous Sundays addressed children et Baltimore. Then he went to Philadelphia. thence to New York, an,l from Brooklyn he should go to Bostcn.
 After giving his hearers most OK rellent advice as to h0U they welU to conduct themselves in this world in order to obtain all entrance into heaven, he added:
 But if but if-mv dear little boys and my dear h,tle girls. you neglect the opportunities you now have you will go to hell.
 Then, wishing 10 ascertain how at- tentive his audience had beon. he tested their memories with the fol lowing QuesuuEs;

The first is that the lines Of the hand alter. had al ways thought them unchangeable as the fate which they represent. No; it seems that they alter from time to time.

The Advertised to be KnOck-Out Con.
 test Tame sham.
 The JoURNAL-MINER had no repre- sentative at Saturday nights fsti- cuff show. The managers of the af- fair apparently did not want any newspaper man there and judging from the results it is scarcely to be wondered at. The report of the af- fair has in consequence been ob- tained from those who were present, of whom there were just sixty-one as counted by one of the number.
 4 gentleman, who is an admirer of the boxing art, and who occa- sionally puts on the gloves himself, when asked about the show, re- marked:
 1t was a fake of the sery rankest kind I ever saw. Instead of the con- testants eyeing each other as prize fighters are supposed to do, they looked at the foor;" and then the gentlemen in question gave an illus tration of the dancing and prancing act performed by them. Continuing he said, "their blows frequently fell from six to eight feet short of their apparent aim"
 The meager attendance proved that Prescott people are not suck CTS to be caught by any barn storm ing outfit, be they alleged pugilists or others. The fight had been ad- Vertised for purse of S250 and gate money, but it developed that not a nickel even of a purse had been put up. After the hall rent and license had been deducted from the $6l, representing the number in the aud fence at S1 each, the gate receipts amounted to only S36, and one of the contestants announced that they would not fight unless 1t was raised to $50, saying that he had never pulled of his shirt for less than S250. 4 collection was then taken up and the proceeds were then raised to total of S43. Although less than $50, this was too tempting an offer for them to refuse, so they proceeded with their programme To describe the affair by or as being rounds would be libel on the art, of boxing, to say nothing of being an outrage on the disreputable call ing of prize fighting. There was not single redeeming feature in the per formance. Just after, what by courtesy and a great stretch of the imagination, was called the second round, was commenced, the little 1 fellow of the two went down-be- fore blow, aimed at him, reached | where he was standing, and he lay | there until he was counted out. The | audience yelled 'fake," flake" and | quite a commotion followed when l one of the contestants offered to meet any man in the territory. Up ! to the present time no one has been heard of, however, who cares to waste any time in such a meeting.
 4 more disgusted audience never filed out of any place of amusement than came out of the opera house on Saturday night. and if you find one who will admit of having been there he will tell you in the same breath shat he is ashamed of 1t.

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.
It Is Performed with Oarbonio Acid Gas
 and Tobacco Smoke.

| 1t Is Performed With Oarbontc Acid GAs and Tobacco Smoke.
 Coal, on burning incompletely in the air, yields oxide of carbon, gas which is a very violent poison, and so much the more dangerous ill that there Is no odor to announce its pres ence. When, on the contrary, the combustion is complete, the gas pro duced is carbonic acid. Although less poisonous than oxide of carbon, 1t announces its presence by a slight prickling sensation in the nose and mouth, and although it now and then causes an accident it must not be forgotten that 1t is what gives seltzer water its so agreeable, re- freshing and sharpish taste in sum mer and that makes beer and cham pagne foam.
 The preparation of carbonic acid is very simple. Let us put a few pieces of chalk and some kind of acid (vin. egar for example, into bottle and close the latter with cork provid- ed with tube to lead the disengaged gas to a receiver.
 It may also be prepared by pour ing water on a mixture of equal weights of powdered bicarbonate of soda and tartaric acid. This process is employed in families for the pre- paration of artificial seltzer water.
 Upon uncorking a bottle of carbon ic water and quickly closing it with a cork provided with bent tube, small quantity of carbonic acid gas quite sufficient for a few experi- ments may easily be procured.
 By means of one of the producing apparatus mentioned above, let us introduce some carbonic acid into a large jar, but in such way as not to fill the latter completely. Although the level of the gas cannot be per ceived, since it is as colorless as ar, it may be recognized approximately by means of a candle attached to a wire and lowered slowly until it is extinguished. This is the point of separation of the acid and air.
 Let us then blow the smoke of a cigarette gently upon the surface of the gas, and we shall see it form waves and float, So to speak, upon the carbOnic acid, and upon shaking the jar we shall see it's level Oscillate like that of liquid, thanks to smoke blown upon it. In an instant we shall witness a curious phenomenon The gas will diffuse itself in very wis ible wreaths upon a black ground, each of which terminates in toad stoollike appendage. These vortexes will descend slowly to the bottom of the jar.-Paris Illustration.

TUE NEW HOTEL BURKE.
It Wm be Handsome Structure and an Edifice That WIll Improve the
 City's Appearance.


 City's Appearance.
 One stride in the improvement of Prescott's appearance from a busi- ness standpoint seems to be followed closely on the heels of another. New and costly homes are being erected everywhere in the town, old houses are being remodeled and fixed up for the better, while addi- tions to commercial and other bus mess structures are being talked of in such an earnest manner as to bring out many admirable expres- sions for the thriftiness of our peo- pie and the progressive section we are censered in.
 Singling out one instance along the line of many changes of an i'm portant nature in the architectural appearance of our city, the new Hotel Burke that is to be, stands out pre-eminently as a symbol of the times and which casts aside the old for the new. It likewise reflects on Messrs. Burke & Hickey credit ably for the energy they display as public spirited men and business pushers, who it is hoped will reap many fold from the seeds sown as the town is to benefited by the change.
 The plans and specifications of the new Burke, as we'll as a perspec- tive view of the hotel when com pleted, show many changes in the interior, while as viewed from the exterior, the building is strikingly handsome and one also from the architectural character of the ad- ditional story to be placed on it, will make 1t likewise an imposing one. The drawings as prepared by $. E. Patton, show that the third story will be thirteen feet in height, in which there will be twenty three large outside rooms, with a closet in each. The roof will be a mansard, framed of wood and steel with a large tower on the corner and a square liner twenty-two feet high in the center facing the north, and in which is to belocated the main par Tor. All rooms are to be connected with doors and will be of Eastlake design trimmed with redwood. This floor is to be reached by a large open stairway leading from the sec ond floor. into which open all rooms. There is also back stairway lead ing to the ground. The rooms are also provided with fues for stoves and enunciators leading down to the office with return call. All rooms and railways are to have electric l lights. A new kitchen 43x40will be built. The building is to be further strengthened by the addition of ex- tra girders in the basement and heavy iron rods running across the l building from wall to wall.
 June Ist will be set as the day for | bidders to examine the plans and | estimate on the cost of the same.
 In addition to the above improve ments Messrs. Burke & Hickey have | now en route from Winslow a car load of red sandstone, with which they propose to make a new side walk 70 feet long and 12 feet wide. This new sidewalk will be laid i'm mediately, and being of a rich color will add still further to the beauty and appearance of the new hotel.

There is something illogical in the assertion that the manly art of box ing is a bad thing because a death re gently resulted from sparring bout Every good thing is capable of abuse, and deplorable accidents will happen sometimes under the best of gircum- stances.
