coLoRs OF SOUNDS.
To Note Them You Must Be In a
Proper State Of Vibration.

Proper State OF Vibration.
Every sound, it is contended, con-
veys an idea of color to those who are
In a proper state of vibration.
Some years ago the humorists of this
country were very busy poking fun at
some little verses that Stephen Crane
had written and that a Boston house
published under the title 1.-The Black
Rider" In some of these verses Crane
referred to the colors of sounds, and
this was the key for the humorists.
They carried the thing to the most
ridiculous lengths, making all kinds Of
sport Of the suggestion that sounds
have colors.
At that time Crane and I were to-
gether a great deal-almost inseparable
chums, in fact. One night we sat on
the pier of the Crescent club country
house at Bay Ridge until almost day
break. 1t was a moonless, starless
night, and the sailing vessels which
could be seen at all looked like ghosts
gliding by. Presently out of the dark
ness came one Of these small vessels.
headed almost directly toward us. 1t
looked as if she were going to strike
the pier, but at that instant a loud
voice on board gave some order, and
she veered enough to miss 1t.
"Great heavens! What a green voice!!"
exclaimed Crane.
"What do you mean by that?" 1
asked. "You are always giving colors
to sounds. Do you do that for some
poetic effect?"
certainly not" he answered in a
tone of surprise, surprise which in
creased to amazement when I told him
that sounds did not suggest colors to
me unless the sounds were associated
in my mind with things Of certain col
ors. "If I heard the roar of a water
fall which I could not see, it might
suggest the colors that I naturally as
sociate with falling mater-the pale
green tint Of the falling sheet and the
white Of the splashing foam-but that
Is merely association Of ideas. Some
thing else might make precisely the
same sound and suggest a wholly diff
ferent set Of colors to me-"
This was wonderful to Crane. Until
then he had supposed that everybody
saw, or rather heard, the colors Of diff
ferent sounds. He thought there must
be something lacking in me that 1 did
not hear these colors. I told him I be-
neved most people lacked the same
quality, and be doubted 1t.
"Why," said he, 1--WE know, as a mat
ter of clear demonstration, that sound
and color are the products of the same
thing-motion. You remember Hulk
ley's Observation-Disclosures one end Of an
iron bar to an axle, revolve the axle
faster and faster, and you will get
every degree of heat, sound and color
until the iron disintegrates."
Theoretically I could see that all
right, but when some sound smote our
ears and he asked me what color it
suggested to me I was totally unable
to say that it suggested any. To him,
however, there was not a sound that
did not have its color as distinct to his
ears as the colors of the stars and
stripes are to my eyes.-Willis Brooks
in Brooklyn Eagle.

IGNORES THE VERDICT.
Attorney Has Man Arrested on Muir
der CHARGE.

Convinced that there was evidence
sufficient to hold Thomas Dudley on a
charge of killing John Hickey by
throwing him from the Northern Pa
cifc railway bridge Friday evening,
States Attorney Wineman of Grand
Forks swore out a warrant charging
Dudley with murder. Dudley had
been exonerated earlier in the day by
a coroner's jury. the jury finding that
Hickey met his death by accidentally
falling from the bridge. Evidence was
introduced that Hickey and Dudley had
fought on the bridge a short time be-
fore Hickey was found dying, and that
Dudley's hands had blood on them
when he was arrested.
An officer testified that Hickey told
of an attempt to hold him up on the
bridge, but was unable to tell any
thing about being thrown from the
bridge.

been outside : WoeiIl CONFUSION 81
4 sounds, scared and plungfng ahorses,
believing oxen, excited men shouting
to the stock and to one another. the ]
barking Of dogs and the rafting Of
the wagons. Through this din he
prayed, scarcely hearing his own
voice, yet feeling within himself the
faith that he knew must prevail. And
then as he prayed be became con-
scious that these noises had subsided
to a wonderful silence. A moment
this lasted, and then he heard it
broken by a mighty shout Of gladness,
1 followed by excited calls from one
man to. another.
He looked out in calm certainty to
observe in what manner the Lord had
& consented to answer his petition. He
saw that the wind had veered and,
even as he looked, large drops of rain
came pounding musically upon his
wagon-cover. Far in front of them
long, low line of flame was crawling
to the west, while above it lurid
clouds of smoke rolled away from
them. In another moment the full
force of the shower was upon them
from q sky that half an hour before
had been cloudless. Far of to the
right scurried the Indians, their feath-
cry figures lying low upon the backs
of their small ponies. His heart
swe1led within him, and he fell again
to his knees with many earnest words
of thanksgiving for the intercession.
They at once made camp for the
night, and by Brigham's fire later ip
the evening Joel Rae confided the
truth of his miracle to that good man,
taking care not to utter the words
with any delight or pride in himself.
He considered that Brigham was un-
duly surprised by the occurrence;
almost displeased in fact; showing a
tendency to attribute the days good
fortune to phenomena wholly natural.
Although the miracle had seemed to
him small, simple thing, he now felt
a little ashamed of his performance.
He was pleased to note, however, that
Brigham became more gracious to
him after short period of reflection.
He praised him indeed for the merit
which he seemed to have gained in
the Lords sight; taking occasion to
remind him, however, that he, Brig
ham, had meant to produce the same
effects by a prayer of his own in due
time to save the train from destruc-
ton; that he had chosen to wait, how
ever, in order to try the faith of the
Saints.
BY the first of June they had
wormed their way over 500 miles OF
plain to the trading post of Fort Lar
annie Here they were at last forced
to cross the Platte and to take up
their march along the Oregon TRAIL
They were now in the land of alkaline
deserts, of sage brush and grease
wood, of sad, bleak, deadly stretches;
land where the favor of Heaven
might have to be called upon If they
were to survive. Yet it was land
not without inspiration,-a land OF
immense distances, of long, dim per-
spectives, end of dreamy visions In
the far, vague haze. In such land,
thought Joel Rae, the spirit of the
Lord must draw closer to the children
of earth.

voices outside, one early morning III
January. He opened the door and
found group of men discussing a
| miracle that had been wrought over
night The Lord had spoken to
Brigham and word had come to Zion
to move toward the west.
He hurried over to Brigham's house
| and by that good man was shown the
word of the Lord as it had been writ
ten down from his lips. With emo
tions of reverential awe he read the
inspired document. .s
'.The Word and Will Of the Lord
Concerning the Camp of Israel in it's
Journeyings to the West" Such was
its title.
Let all the people," it began, '''of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, be- organized into COM
panies with covenant and promise
to keep all the statutes Of the Lord
our God. @z5
Let the companies be organized
with captains of hundreds and cap.
tains of f1fties and captains OF tens,
with a President and Counsellor at
their head under the direction of the
Twelve Apostles.
Let each company provide itself
with all the teams, wagons, provi-
sions, and all other necessaries for
the journey.
Let every man use all his influ-
ence and property to remove this peo-
pie to the place where the Lord shall
locate stake of Zion, and let them
share equally in taking the poor, the
widows, and the fatherless, so that
their cries come not up into the ears
! of the Lord against His people,
"And if We do this with a pure
heart, with all faithfulness, We shall
be blessed in your tlocks and in your
herds and in your fields and in your
families. For l am the Lord your
God, even the God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and OF
Jacob. l am He who led the children
| of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
and my arm is stretched out in these
last days to save my people of Israel.
Fear not thine enemies, for they
are in my hands, and l will do my
| pleasure with them. ~ s.2
my people must be tried in all
things, that they may be worthy to
receive the glory that have in store
for them, even the glory Of Zion;
| and he that will not receive chastise-
| ment is not worthy of my Kingdom.
So no more at present. Amen and
Amen!'
This was what he had longed for
each winter night when he had seen
/ the sun go. down,-the word of the
Lord to follow that sun on over the
rim into the painless wilderness, in
tested by savage tribes and ravenous
beasts, abounding in terrors i. ull-
Known. ~
Early in April the life began to stir
more briskly in the great camp that
sprawled along either side Of the
swollen, muddy river. From dawn to
dark each day the hills echoed with
the noise of many works, the streets
were alive with men and women go
ing and coming on endless errands,
and with excited children playing at
games inspired by the occasion. ,Wag-
