In order to prove Its power Of dis
eliminating between colors the scien-
fist Dahl made some interesting tests
upon a monkey. He eolored some
sweets with a certain colored dye and
some bitter substances with that Of
another color. After a few attempts
the monkey learned to leave without
even tasting those articles of food col
ored with the dye which indicated bit
ter tasting substances and seized at
once upon those which indicated
sweets. Varying the experiments sufi-
GENTLY he found that the monkey dis
tinguished all the different colors read
lily. save only dark blue. Many savage
tribes cannot distinguish dark blue
from black and even children distin-
guish this color later than all others.

Robespierre Of the French revolu-
ton, the man who was destined to
deluge France with blood, was not
long before his frightful career Of
power began one OF the most strenu-
Gus opponents OF capital punishment.
While be was still an obscure advo-
cate at his native Arras he threw up
an appointment because OF his opposi-
ton to this form of penalty. And
Just when his star was In the ascend
and he boldly harangued the national
assembly to prove ''that the punish
ment Of death is essentially unjust.
that 1t has no tendency to repress
crimes and that 1t multiplies offenses
much more than II diminishes them"

KILLED Il LAUGH.
The story of the Prayer In ROssini's
"Mose In Egitto."

The story of the Prayer In Rossini's
"Mose In Egitto."
The sublime prayer OF the Hebrews.
when preparing to cross the Red sea,
Is, perhaps, one Of the most solemn
and majestically grand compositions
that can be found In the choral roper
tory, yet, at the same time, simple to
a degree. This was an afterthought
of the composer and was not intro
duced until the second season Of the
production Of "Mose In Egitto' at Ma.
piles.
The opera then, as now, terminated
with the passage Of the Red sea by
the lsraelltes; but, although the audi
snces were entranced with the music,
they invariably saluted the passage Of
the Red sea with peals Of laughter,
owing to want OF skill OF the machin-
LIST and scene painter, who contrived
to render thIs-NOrtion Of the affair SUI
perbly ridiculous and brought down
the curtain amid uproarious mirth.
Rossinl exhibited his usual indiffer-
ence, but poor Tottola, the poet. was
driven nearly crazy by this unwel-
come termination of his literary la
bors and intensely chagrined at the
idea of so sacred a subject exciting
laughter. This lasted throughout the
first season.; the next II was repro
duccd with similar brilliant success
Ton the first night, for the music, and
similar laughter at the end of the op-
era The next day, while Rossini was
indulging In his usual habit OF lying
in bed and gosslping with n oom full
of friends, In rushed Tottola, in a most
excited state. crying out;
SYLVIA, | have saved the third act!'.
"Howf" asked Rossinl lazily.
"Why," replied Tottola, Il have
written a prayer for the Hebrews be-
fore crossing the dreadful Red sea-.
and ! did 1t all In one hour"
well" said Rossinl, III 1t has tal>en
you an hour to write this prayer / Will
engage to make the music for 1t In a
quarter of the time. Here. give me
pen and Ink" saying which he jumped
out of bed, and I'm ten minutes he had
composed the music without the aid
of q piano and while his friends were
laughing and talking around him.
Thus, owing to the laundering igno-
rance of a stage carpenter and scene
painter. the world Is indebted for the
most sublime preghiera ever penned.
Night came. The audience prepared
to laugh as usual when the Red sea
scene came, but when the new prayer
commenced deathy silence prevailed.
every note was listened to with rapt
attention, and on its conclusion the
entire audience rose en- masse and
cheered for several minutes, nor did
they ever again laugh at the passage
of the Red sea.

panied by Roy Knabenshue, in his big
balloon Airvana flew from New York
hither. a distance of 240 miles. This
is said to be the longest trip ever made
by passenger balloon in the United
States. In every respect the flight was
successful Especially was it so in re-
gard to DR.. Thomas guide rope. where
by the balloon rose or fell at the will
of the occupants. This new invention
of the doctor worked like charm.
OF prime Importance to aeronautics,
DR. Thomas said. was the fact that by
means of his guide rope he and Kna-

CAPTAIN OF SIRIO
RESCUED BY FORCE
Deeds of Heroism Rise Above
Brutal Acts.

Cartagena, Spain, Aug. T. Further
reports concerning the sinking of the
Italian steamship Sirio, Busnos Ayres
bound, on Saturday on the rocks of
Hermigas island bring details of many
deeds of heroism that loom above the
fearful scenes of brutality in the fight
for life Men, women, and sometimes
children rose to the crisis in many in
stances and saved their frenzied COM
panions from an otherwise watery
death.
Captain Giuseppi Paradi, it now de-
velops, was forced by main strength
from going down with his vessel.
When the vessel struck he mounted
the bridge and expressed his determin-
alton TO sink with the Sirio But he
was rescued in spite of his efforts.
The captain is 62 years old and has
had 45 years experience in navigation.
He is said to have commanded the Per-
seus, which sank off Cartagena. The
Sirio is considered total loss.
Reckoning on the captains state
ment that he had 772 souls aboard
Gas passengers and 127 in the crew
and the official statement of survivors
-547-makes the death list today 225
