will become possible by the 1ntroduc- tion of the new method. No globes, no brackets, no candelabra, can break the sweep of pillar or nave. There will be greater cleanliness asw well as beauty, and an immense saving of time and trouble, not to speak of expense.
 In the matter of cost, the reform will effect saving as well. Many electric ians feel convinced that the commer- cial adoption of the innovation cannot longer be postponed. The men at work in improving the method, as far as this is concerned, are expected to demon strate the validity of their theories much sooner than they care to acknowl- edge from modest deprecation of their own acuteness. And when the change does come there will be great fortune for somebody to enjoy.

stood In the way Of any such enter prise. Now comes Mir. Moore who makes the assertion in Gassier's Nigga zine that electric sparks rapidly sue eeeding one another in a vacuum are the key to the whole treasure house. This fact Is shown by means of an ingenious contrivance now familiar to most electricians, in which the current of electricity is repeatedly broken by rapid vibrations. The vibrations produce a corresponding number of sparks which act upon the ether in a bulb duly placed to be affected in precisely this manner, with the result that the whole bulb gives forth light. Such electricians as Nicola Tesla and MeFarlan Moore would not put the condition of things into such simple words, MT, Moore, in- deed, saying, and very scientifically, no doubt, that the whole thing is the result of the current being rapidly dis rupted by magnetic field exterior to the evacuated space.
 In fact, the whole problem of light may be said to have become one of vibrations. It's solution, as stated, has been arrived at by means of electric sparks thus made to succeed one an- other rapidly in a vacuum. And along these lines has It become a possibility to conduct light through tubes, with results destined to effect the revolution now on the eve of accomplishment.
 "Then we will, indeed, nave beauti- ful lightl" exclaimed Nicola Tesla. How few of us realize the importance of the cost of light on the lives of

in civilization. It will then be not only day, but glorious beautiful day."
 It may be mentioned at this point that to D. McFarlan Moore, the Ameri- c, T electrician, who has done as much to popularize the use of electric light as any living man probably, belongs the credit of having first called the at- tention of scientists to the impending change. Tesla has indeed been experi- menting for years, and long ago indi- cated the lines along which the trans formation would be wrought. MT. Moore, however, demonstrated why the near future will witness the commer- cial adoption of the transmission of light through tubes, and that electric ity is to be the agent of this consum- nation. It is declared by scientists that while the conversion of heat into power and power again into the current known as electricity, seems to have reached limit for the present at least, the matter of producing light from electricity has hardly begun to be stud jed.
 The incandescent lamp Is admittedly the illuminant of to-day In spite of its conceded advantages, however, the scientific world has come to look upon it as crude contrivance for reasons apart from the humiliating circum- stance that to extract five per cent of light, ninety-flve per cent of the con- stituent clements goes to utter waste Therefore, in spite of the practical elimination of the factors of heat and odor from the problem of dispelling darkness, scientists have for years been at work in an endeavor not so much to make new discoveries as to utilize dis coveries already made.
 Now, what is known as phosphores- cent, or glow lighting, has come to be recognized as the source of untold mil lions to the capitalist who can first re- duce it to marketable commodity in the cities of the world. So far the great cost attending its utilization has

people to-day It Is not too much to inaugurated our whole municipal life will be transformed. Light will be not merely a means of seeing at night It will become tie great source of beauty in streets and homes. Hereto fore the difficulty of getting both light and beauty has seemed insuperable. We now have the means of producing light that will not merely be beautiful itself, but that will make all things beautiful"
 And how soon may we look for all this?"
 MT. Tesla conceded that existing electric light features are too unpleas- antly evident. In the coming condition of things they will be eliminated so far as being visible is concerned, un- less some special effect were sought. In great hall for instance, the light would stream from the capitals of it's pillars. Or 1t could as easily be arranged to shed itself from the ceiling or the dome cornices. The illustra- tions herewith will give an idea of the effects MT. Tesla had in mind. Separate lights such as we have now, will be- come largely things of the past.
 "The transformation in street illumination will be very marked" he declared. ''The unsightly pole will no longer be seen. Light may stream from statue or from a fountain in great waves. Its source will be hidden. Its very quality will be changed. The glare now so ungrateful to many eyes will give way to sympathetic glow"
 The young electrician was of opinion that the popular mind and taste were not sufficiently educated on the subject of electric lighting.
 "The most wretched make-shifts are tolerated." he said, because the public have not as yet been accustomed to the best results. There was at one time, indeed, a prejudice against electricity itself as means of lighting, owing to its depressing effect on some people. To-day the improvements are so marked that the light Is preferred to gas. In the same way the improve ments to come will be so great that the unsightliness of present methods will be deemed uncomfortable. It is hardly too much to say that the beautifying of cities will never be adequately under taken until the electric light has been improved, or rather, rendered generally available in its new form. Then we may look for decided alterations in the appearance of the streets of our great cities"
 striking improvement, moreover, will be the absence of sharply defined shadows that detract 80 much from the advantages of the present lights. We will have not lights, but light, as Mir. Moore so graphically puts it. Phos- phorescent electric light so closely re- sembles the light of day that the com ing era will practically be one of un- broken day.
 The elimination of elaborate fixtures in great ediflces will be very oonspie- uous consequence of the reform. Ip spite of the artistic nature of the can- delabra which have been introduced into the more pretentious structures, they are serious drawback to the stateliness of some fofns of Gothic and Greek architecture, and as architects we'll know, it Is frequently necessary to modify tn interior on this account But nothing can be conceived more ma iestiq than the interior sffeots which

theme always possessed an awesome fascination for the patriot poet. That was a wonderful piece of prophecy on his part when he declared that light would yet prove Ian undiscovered country wherein beautys citadel rears high embattlements," but not until these century-end days of marvels has even the dream of its fulfllment come. For at this very moment we are on the eve of revolution in electrical science that seems destined to make of light not beautys citadel merely, but the be- slower of beauty itself. Without light, beauty would cease to be evident. No wonder, then, that light has be- come the Nile of physics, with scien- lists seeking night and day for its ulti- mate source. The secret seems to have been learned at last, and science is now the land of the unsetting sun.
 Imagine an ever-playing fountain of light, or century plant in intending bloom, of which the petals are sheafs of light. There is no graceful dream too extravagant in this respect for realization now. The chandler, the globe, the bulb, the painful mechan- ism which has made the connection of light and machinery so unaestheti- lcally obvious heretofore-all are destined to be swept away. Light in the next century will well impalpably out of walls It will stream from brackets or from picture frames, none divining whence 1t comes, like the perfumes of Lucullan banquets.
 Nicola Tesla's eyes glowed as he predicted the results of the discovery ' that has been made. Then they were dimmed by passing regret as new thought came.
 "The one impediment" he said, lis cost That problem will be solved yet \ y-perhaps in three months, perhaps not in as many years. The existing waste in electric light Is barbar- ous Ninety per cent. of the material employed goes for nothing. But when we have settled the question of cost, the new era will dawn.

Catching a Thief.

Saindo, one of the cleverest of the
Paris detectives, was one day making
his round of the Quarter du Temple
when he found himself in group lis
tening to man selling silver watches
for 5 francs each. Saindo bought one,
and having assured himself that it was
genuine came to the not unnatural con-
elusion that these watches could not
have been come by honestly.
The vender was, however, a giant,
and Saindo is by no means blessed with
large proportions. He furthermore ar
gued that there were confederates among
the group. In aminute or two he had
formed plan. He asked the man to
take glass of wine, saying that he
meant to purchase another watch. The
offer was accepted, and second watch
was rendered, which Saindo pretended
to examine. He, however, suddenly
took to his heels, watch in hand. There
upon the yender pursued, crying:
Stop, thiefr'
When Saindo got him as far as the
police station, he turned around, clutch
ed the other by the throat, and to the
great establishment of every one led his
captive inside Paris Journal.

COLOR HEARING.
Or. CoIman's Interesting Theory About the
Relation of Sounds to Color.

Or. Colman's Interesting Theory About the
Relation of Sounds to Color.
John Locke's blind man, who hazard.
ed the guess that the color scarlet was
probably something like the sound Of q
trumpet, is generally thought to have
simply spoken according to his lights,
or rather lack of lights, but 1t appears
from Dr. w. s. Colman's 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 color SEN
sation is excited by some auditory slim
ulus-as, for example, by the pronun-
citation of the vowel sounds It is not a
matter of association, as in the case of
the ''shrill squeak" evoked by the filing
of saw or the drawing of slate PEN
Gil down slate. DIR. Colman estimates
the number of people who possess the
faculty of color hearing as under -
per cent and mentions case described
by Flournoy, in which the vowel 'i"
awakened the impression of an orange
circle with an ''i'' in black In the CEN
ter. ia - Fs stg s.
Theophile Gautier, under the infiu-
ence of hasheesh, heard the sound equiv
alents Cwhateyer they may have been) of
various colors. The notion, is, at all
events, of respectable antiquity. DIR.
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
of the host. " The Lancet, which COM
ments learnedly ON DIR Colman's thee
ries, feels disposed to think that the red
ribbon which adorns the dark blue bon
net of the female members of the Sal
walton Army is a parallel case and not
difficult to explain ON the principles of
conventional metaphor. -London News.

winks That Pass In the Night.

An ingenious Brooklyn statistician es-
Inmates that united Brooklyn has over
100, 900 cats, Of which more than one
half are unsheltered. He considers it as
conservative estimate that 10 per cent
of the 100000 inhabitants of our sis
ter city are kept awake at night by the
bowling of the 100, 900. This makes
one case of insomnia per cat and leads
one to the conclusion that Brooklyn is a
very sleepleas city. If cats and insomnia
prevail with equal yirulence in other
cities, it would follow that there are
6,000, 000cats and 6, 600, 900 cases of In
somnia in America Yet no notice is
taken of this pathogenic factor by sys-
tematic writers ON sleep. Medical Rec
