Color.

Color is very commonly looked upon
as a definite quality This, however is
only partly true. The moro correct and
scientific concept of color is that it is
simply the name Of certain group of
sensations by which we are affected.
Thus we say s.the rose Is red" 1t Is
more correct to say the rose produces
In us the sensa tion we call redness.
A man WHO is color blind win declare
that it is green. showing that the oior
Is not in the thing, but in the pereep-

WHEN A MAN SNEEZES.
English Surgeon Says 1T Is a sign OF
Good Health-Queer oriental
Customs.

It is reported that Mr.. Jonathan
Hutchinson has said that when q
man sneezes heartily he may know
himself to be in the best of health,
and that mo person in poor health
was ever known to sneeze. Inc
Scientific American, referring to this
reported statement, falls foul of the
English surgeon for making so dog
matte an assertion, when the con-
trary is so easily proved. The jour
nal in question then goes on to re-
late many old superstitions with re-
gard to the i'll luck attending sneez-
ing, some of which, while proving
nothing, are interesting. 1t appears
that many savage and semi-civilized
races of the orient have some curious
customs regarding the sneeze. "nen
the sultan of Monomtopa sneezes, for
instance, the fact is made known from
the palace by certain signal In
stantly every subject whiting hearing
Of the signal sets up a shout, the cry
is taken up by others, and SO extends
until it runs through the confines OF
his empire. When the sultan of Senaar
sneezes, on the contrary, every woman
in his harem or within hearing turns
her back on him, and makes sign
Of contempt Ly shifting her hips with
her bands-disgusted that SO mighty
a per sonage should have to sneeze like

INDIAN SUMMER.
It's Easy to Tell When That Delight
full Season Ends. But When
Does 1t Begin.

In the gentle and indefinable shading
off of summer into autumn. when does
Indian summer begin? Is it a genuine,
authoritative Indian summer if no frost
has preceded it? Or must the woods
light up their banners to herald its ad-
vent? An Indian summer that is not
born of a few frosty nights may sud
denly backslide and become reversion
to summer itself, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat We can reconcile no
ideals of that perfect season of the
year with q return to perspiration and
the casting off of coats. An Indian sum
mer of hot days Is no Indian summer. 1t
cannot come scorching and sweltering
as July, August and September, but
yelled in blue mists or gray, every day,
breaking in the same unvarying tints
and tones and likewise temperature of
the one before it, as if nature had saved
her best in the bottom of the basket and
we're hanging out an unspotted one every
morning Indian summer may continue
long after the last leaf has fallen and
been gathered to its companions in the
brown windrows. 1t is not perplexing
to discover when Indian summer ends.
It is swept out and washed away in long,
cold November rain, that stretches its
warning streamers across the sky for
days before it spreads its dripping win
try pail over the earth. Eut when does

The performer allows hiI,,self to be

One hand is tied to the end of the band
first, then the other. The band must
be so long that the hands can move pref
ty freely. The performer, after being
tied, speaks few words of introduction,
excuses himself for being Obliged to take
off his coat, takes off his coat and ap-
pears fette1 ed as before.
Finally he slips his coat on again and
asks somebody to cut the letters, which
appear to be intact and in the same con-
dition as when they were tied at the be-
ginning of the performance.
To perform this trick effectively, q
cutaway coat should be worn, having
in its back pockets the principal requi-
site, second fetter. Besides this fetter
small pair of scissors is secreted in
the same pocket. This pair OF scissors
serves to cut the band tied by the audi

HAS A GOOD RECORD.
John Sharp Williams Well Liked
by His Colleagues.
New Minority Leader In House Of Rep-
resentatiyes Abundantly Able
to Tske Care of the Inter-
ests of His Party.

If he lives until July 30 next John
Sharp Williams, Of Mississippi, the
| democratic leader in the house OF repre-
sentatives, will be so. He is of slender
figure, and a tritie above the medium in
height. He has a whole lot of woozy
hair and striking disregard of fash
ionable clothing.
From boyhood Mr.. Williams has been
a hard student, and all his mature life
an Industrious reader of high class lit
erature. Although never OF a decidedly
robust constitution, ne has not at any
time been regarded as an invalid. At
present he appears to be in good condi-
ton physically for the arduous duties
recently imposed upon him with uEan-
unity by his party associates.
Mr.. Williams received a thorough ed
ucational training He studied at the
Kentucky military institute, and later
at the University of the South, at Sc
Virginia. Then he went abroad and at
tended Heidelberg university.
While at Heidelberg he mastered Ger
man sufficiently to converse f1uently in
it. He also studied French in his youth,
and since leaving the universities he has
kept up his researches both in German
and in French. Since his selection for
the minority leadership, though, Mr..
Williams has been somewhat amused to
read that he is able to read and speak
half a dozen languages
He was born at Memphis, Tenn. His
mother died when he was quite young,
and his father, who was a colonel of Ten
nessee volunteers in the confederate
army was killed at Shiloh. His home is
at Yazoo, Miss, where he has practiced
law and engaged in planting cotton. He
and his brother are joint owners of about
5000 acres of land in the Yazoo coun-
try. This property has not been divided
in many generations.

POWERFUL NEW RIFLE.
Have Important Bearing ON
Modern Warfare.

! A great advance has been made In
small arms by George E. Rounds, of
| Plymouth, Mass, which may have an
| important bearing on the ornaments OF
the world aud the battles of the future,
for through his suggestion the range OF
the modern rifle has been greatly in
creased and it's penetration more than
doubled
! The result is finished rife OF the
! the old civil war carbine, but unlike this,
| 1T has a tapering barrel which ap-
proaches one-hMf inch in thickness at
| the rear end and is formed of fine piece
of nickel steel. which gives maximum
of strength. The gun is of .405 bore and
I the cartridge looks like any other ex-
cept the shell is not checked on the
end where the bullet fits in. Inside the
| bright brass shell is charge of 81 grains
of cordite, smokeless powder, which
has long been in favor by the users of
the British naval guns, and as used in
them resembling the long black, flexible
| strings of licorice found in the confec-
tionery stores, the strips being bundled
| into fagots for the big cannon, which, of
course, is not done in Mr.. Rounds gun.
| Fifty-two grains Of cordite, 1t is asserted,
| has the explosive power Of nearly a
pound of common black rifle powder,
and it will drive the 300-grain, soft-nose,
tin-coated bullet out with muzzle
velocity Of 1904 feet per second, while
at 100 yards range the striking energy
is represented by 1925 foot pounds.
From tests made it is calculated the
gun fired at an elevation of IS degrees
will throw it's projectile distance OF
ten miles, while at shorter ranges its
enormous muzzle velocity gives. it fiat
trajectory amounting at ordinary
ranges to almost point blank shooting.
In the matter of penetration the cordite
cartridge leaves the others completely
out of sight. A high-power 1920 sport
ing cartridge at 100 yards will penetrate
80 inches of pine, and United States
government high velocity cartridge will
drive its projectile ten inches deeper,
but this new one at the same range will
bore through 100 inches of pine wood.

ROOSTER FINDS MOON.
lord of the Barnyard Made a Strange
Discovery Which Surprised
4 Him Very Much.

Because he had eaten too much sup
per, a rooster one night was unable to
sleep, and he just had to sit up on
the roost and gaze out through the
cracks in the henhouse roof at the
stars while all the rest of his family
slept and snored.
He thought the stars were very won
derful, and tie moon seemed marvel
GUS.
The next day, as he crossed a field,
he came across a ball-one of those
fancy colored bouncing balls that chill
dren love to play with. Now, Mr.
Rooster had never seen one of them
before, and he did not know what
it was.
"This must be the moon that saw
last night" he said, finally. II won
der what it is doing down here, in
stead of being up in the sky. 1t Ia
very beautiful, it is true, but would
like to see it shine as it did last night
suppose it doesn't shine during the
day, SO I'll wait until night and see 1t. %
So Mr. Rooster sat down by the ball
and waited. The sun went down and it
