to give them one plantation in return for

Color Music.

II an individual has a very quick and
keen perception Of color, It sometimes
happens when he hears sudden sound
chat q flash Of color. will appear before
his eyes, red, blue, yellow or otherwise,
according to the loudness and character
Of the sound. One man is on record
whose chromatic sense was so delicate
that he even saw flashes of color when
he heard human voices and thus could
tell the color of voice. This man ana
lyzed his impressions very carefully and
found that the flash. Of color reached him
Immediately before the sound did. In
stances Of this connection between light
and sound are sufficiently numerous to
be scientifically established. 49,.
The explanation of the phenomenon
is perhaps not so difficult In the well
known theory of the correlation Of forces
sound, heat and light are considered to
be all produced by the more or less
rapid vibrations of one and the same
ether. A disturbance of this ether in
varying vibrations might therefore pro-
duce both sound and color at the same
moment and by the same operation.
This, in fact, is what does happen.
Every note in music has it's own CORE
spending color. Red is the color of c, it
is said, deeper or brighter according to
whether it be middle G, high G or that
Of the lower register.
Acting on this theory, Mr. Riving-
ton Of London has invented an instru-
ment he calls q ''color organ. It is q
wonderful device. As the musician
strikes the keys there is cast, upon
screen succession Of rhythmic color
waves in beauty surprising description.
They are something like the everchang-
ing figures of kaleidoscope. Perhaps
by means of this invention deaf people
who cannot hear a note of music may
nevertheless in time be enabled to en-
joy: it as fully as if it reached their au-
ditory nerves.

Japanese Plums.

Many persons have observed various
varieties Of a new fruit in the city mar
kets this summer and autumn. It is
from California, and it is the result Of
acclimating the Japanese plum in this
fruitful state The new plum is sym.
phony in fruit It is revelation to
those accustomed only to the hard, little
sour growth, mostly stung with insects
and dropping off premature, which
bears the name Of plum in our country.
We have to thank Japan for many
good things, but, Beyond doubt, the
best Of all is this plum, Of melting
sweetness, jupiness and tenderness,
coming in many oolors red, yellow,
purple and deep green. Il is fact, too.
that this luscious fruit will grow in
many parts Of the north and all parts
of the south. People who are once ac-
customed to it will lose much Of their
appetite for pastry and other cookery.
Half dozen Of these great, sweet
plums, beautiful as flowers Of the gar
den of Eden, delicious as the ambrosia
of the gods, are natures own dessert
for the close at q dinner. Let as have
more Of them-plenty more Of them.
City people will buy them.
Il is quite possible that the Defender
may be the means Of bringing much
money to Harreshoff, the blind boat
builder. a good beginning Of getting
large contracts has already been made
for him in the order from Secretary
Herbert for two torpedo boats at $144,-
900 each. It will not be at all surpris-
ing il, besides future orders from the
United States government, he should be
requested By Japan and other foreign
aatinns to make them torpedo boats too.

Canton, Oct. e.. Saturday again
broke the record of the presidential
campaigns. 1t WAS the most notable
day for delegations yet experienced,
In the enormous crowd present twelve
states were represented by delegations
ranging from small cubs of wheelmen
TO many train loads OF citizens repre-
senting all interests. The demonstra-
ton began early and continued until
late. Mckinley addressed sixteen au-
diences on his lawn. The crowd be-
came so dense that II was no longer
possible for the lawn to accommodate
them and the reviewing stand was
used for speaking the greater part OF
the day. All day The streets We're
formed bicyclists, bands and drum
corps and a Kaleidoscope effect was
ever in view with shifting banners,
flags, streamers, decorations and other
camapign paraphernalia. Nothing
during the day or campaign has been
more significant than the
gratitude of the miners OF
Sunday Creek valley to whom
Mckinley, as governor of Ohio, extend
ed such prompt relief when their suf-
fering became apparent several years
ago. This sentiment was expressed
by j, NJ. Allen Of Gloucester spokes-

WILLIAM MORRIS DEAD.
Noted Designer, Poet, Author and
Socialist Passes Away.

London, Oct. 4.-William Morris, the
designer, poet and author, who of late
years has proclaimed himself Socialist
died Saturday morning.
William Morris was born in 1884.
He was a graduate of Oxford. He
early turned his attention to the study
of architecture, and in 1868, together
with Dante Gabriel Rossctti and Burne
Jones, endeavored to set on foot a
movement for elevating the artistic
taste of the public by starting an art
fabrics" concern for the manufacture
Of wall paper, stained glass, tiles and
c,nel household decorations. Though
undertaken as an artistic venture
rather than as a business speculation,
the concern proved extremely success
full. His leisure moments were devoted
to the composition of poetry. The
Earthly Paradise, which is perhaps his
best known work, appeared just quar-
ter of a century ago. He recently
translated the Odyssey and rendered
into English verse a number of Ice
landic leagends. He was quite an en-
thusiastic antiquarian, and, as is well
known, has long been one Of the
leaders OF the socialist movement In
England His wife, who is said to be
