1t makes all the difference in the
world, in results, whether you
come to your work every day with
all your powers intact, with all
your faculties up to the standard I;
whether you come with the entire
man, so that you can fling your
whole life into your task, or with
only a part of yourself; whether
you do your work as a giant or as

Good work is not entirely a

EFFECTS OF COLOR.
Hearing Is Disturbed by Red, yellow,
Green and Blue, as Proven
Touch of Blind Persons.

The relation of color TO sensa-
ton is discussed by c. NJ. Giessler
in a Leipsic publication. Thai
light has a decided effect on the
sense organs is well known in q
general way, as is the effect of col.
Ors to a less extent, but Mr.. CHESS
Ter examines in details the expert.
ments of one Nrbautschitsch.
This Investigation "fOund that
the sense of hearing was disturbed
by red, yellow, green and blue, not
not only the subjective sensations
being affected, but also the loca-
ton of the source of the sound.
The sense of equilibrium is af-
fected by colors, although the
most remarkable effects are BRO
duced in the sense of taste, where
in the majority of cases we find an
increase or a decrease of the sen.
sation power.
Sometimes the taste of some
thing sweet is changed upon see.
ing certain colors to salty or bit
ter. In many cases il was found
that the colOrs which produce the
most intense effect in the various
individuals were stated by the
subjects to be favorite colOrs.
"In a cas- of temperature, blue
and violet cause a decrease, red
and green an increase in the sen
sation of cold; covering the eyes
causes a weakening of the sense of
hearing, while strong light In
stantly increases the acuteness of
the ear. Red, yellow and green
raise the pitch of a deep tone.
while violet causes a high tone to
deepen, and even the sense Of
taste may be affected BY the
amount of light present without
regard to color"
Mr.. Giessler says that another
experimenteP, Giesbach, found
that the sense of touch in persons
born blind was below normal in.
stead Of being above, as is com.
monty supposed.
ut is also found that the other
senses suffer from the lack of the
sense of sight. For example,
are frequently unable in
the dark by means of the sense
Of smell to tell whether or not a
is lit, while in darkness the
sharpest sense of taste is not able

which have really different

Two CENT FARES IN DARK.
Consul Declares That No Clea, stata-
nsnt Of Meaning Of the Term
Has Been Made

In consular reports from Eng
land, and in newspaper and mag,
sEine articles written by the many
Americans who tour this country
for the purpose of Investigating
municipal systems, there are fire.
quent references to the two-oent
street car fares in England, but
l have not seen in any of the writ
ings q clear statement of what is
meant by a twO-cent street car
fare, says a recent consular re-
port.
The average distance one can
travel in Birmingham for two
cents is one mile two furlongs and
l5s yards. The minimum penny
stage" (twO-eent distance) is six
!urlOngs and 1S9 yards and the
longest penny stage ? miles and
17S yards. When the leases Of
the present street car lines (cable
and steam trans and a couple of
electric lines) have expired, and
Birmingham is in a position to
build and conduct an electrical
street railway system-and it will
be fully 1907 before there can be
anythinglikea complete system
the penny or twO-cent stages will
not extend over two miles.
1t has always seemed to me that
street car travellers who can af-
ford to take short rides are the
ones who can afford to pay full
fares. The penny Ctwo-cent sys.
tenn of charges for a given dis.
lance, and between arbitrary
points, offers transit facilities of
a less accommodating, because
less flexible, character to the aver
age street car user, as compared
with a single fare of five cents for
any distance. 1t favors those re-
siding near one of the termini or
penny stages" and any of the
public who happen to be near a
penny stage" when wishing to
use a street car, and particularly
when the needs are to go to a point
near a terminus or "penny STAGE
The system also practically ex-
cludes the adoption of the trans.
fer system, a facility so much ap-
preciated by street car users in
the United States. If a PERSONS
business place is % yards from a
penny stage" and his home 20
yards beyond the next "pennv
stage" and he wishes to ride all
the way home, and the "penny
stage" is two miles, which will be
the maximum stage of the new svs.
TENS in Birmingham, the street
car fare would be six cents for
two miles and As yards.

Taft Party Arrives at Legaspi, Which Seems to -e the Most Prosperous
 City Vet Visited.

Legaspi, P. l., August 25.-The trans port Logan with Secretary Taft and party on board arrived here today. The city, which Is the capital of Albany province, in Luzon. was from all appearances the most prosperous of all the places in the islands so far visited by the party.
 The decorations displayed in honor of the visitors were decidedly ingenious and highly elaborate. An interesting display of hemp, the main source of wealth of this community, was a feature of the parade, and along the entire route of three miles from their city to camp Oar aga, trees at intervals of every twelve feet were draped with this valuable fibre. A banquet was spread at noon at which Senator Long of Kansas made very effective speech during which he vir- tually promised that the privileges of free trade would be granted to the is- lands for the reason that from them there was no fear of competition of any pro- nounced form. The speakers were unani- nous in their expressions of admiration of the place.
 Before leaving Miss Roosevelt was pre- scented with many interesting souvenirs by citizens.
