THE COLOR
OF THOUGHT
investigations Along a Novel Line
Which Are Being Made By
TheosOphy

What do your thoughts look like?
What is their color? How large are
they? What is their form? The old
parlor game of What is your
thoughts like?" is now being played
by the scientists and certain answers
to the query relating to such stuff as
thoughts are made of, their form,
size, color, movements and influences
have Just been made public by two
investigators of England.
Each definite thought, they say
produces double effect-a radiating
vibration and floating form. The
thought itself appears as vibration,
and this may be simple or complex
If the thought itself. is absolutely
simple there is, only one rate of vi
bration and ionly one type of mental
matter will be strongly affected
When a sudden wave of some emo
ton sweeps over man, for example,
his astral body is thrown into violent
agitation and its original colors are,
for a-time, almost obscured by a
flash of carmine or of blue or of some
other color which corresponds with
the rate of vibration of that partic-
ular emotion, This change is only
temporary; it passes off in a few
hn rQ
resumes its usual condition. Yet
every such rush of feeling produces
a permanent effect; it always adds
a little of its hue to the normal color
ing of the astral body, so that every
time the man yields himself to
certain emotion it becomes easier for
him to yield himself to it again, be-
cause his astral body is getting into
the habit of vibrating at that espec-
ial rate
The majority of human thoughts,
however, are by no means simple,
This means that at least two sep
arate vibrations appear both in the
mental and the astral bodies, ire
uuently more than two. The radi-
ating vibration will therefore be a
complex one, and the resultant
thought form will show several col
ors instead of one. These radiating
vibrations like all others in nature
become less powerful in proportion to
the distance from their source
though it is probable that the varia-
ton is in proportion to the cube OF
the distance, instead of to the square,
because of the additional dimension
involved.

black means hatred and malice. Red
of all shades indicates anger.

more delicate and luminous aspect
it shows the divine power of SYM

all shades of crimson and rose, full
clear carmine means a strong healthy
affection of normal type while pure
pale rose marks that absolutely un-

dull crimson of animal love to the
most exquisit shades CT delicate rose
like the early flushes of the dawn
ing-as the love becomes purified
from all selfish elements and flows
out in wider and wider circles of
generous impersonal tenderness and
compassion to all who are in need.
With touch of the blue of devotion
in it this may express a strong reali-
zation of the universal brotherhood
of humanity.
Deep orange imports pride or am
bition, and the various shades of
yellow denote intellect or intellectual

self-renunciation and union with the

unselfish heart is most lovely in color,
like the deep blue of a summer sky.
Through such clouds of blue will Of

brilliancy darting upward like a

CUTTING STEEL WITH YARN.
Prisoner Cuts One Bar in Eighteen
Hours and Another in Five Hours.

What the drop of water does to the
hardest stone is only a circumstance
to what a thread of yarn can accom-
plish.
The man finally admitted what he
was doing and was induced to give a
demonstration. A grating of the
same description was placed in his
cell, says Popular Mechanics, and a
guard stationed over him to exact the
rrocf of the statement.
With the limestone dust and silicate
from tie stone pile, the yarn from
his sock and a little water this man
cut the bessemer steel bar in eighteen
working hours. With some fine en-
cry, chalk line, and two wooden
handholds to save his fingers he made
the other clean cut of the bar in five
hours, proving the matter to the
guards satisfaction.

called to treat a man for grip. He dis
covered that the patient was almost

CONTRACT VALID.
Ante'Nuptfal Pact Between DR.. Apple.
by and His Now Deceased Wife
Held Binding.

Associated Press to The Evening Time..
st. Paul, Minn., March 29.-The state
supreme court has filed an opinion
that DR.. I. E. v. w. Appleby's ante
nuptial contract with his wife, by
which his wife provided that he should
have an annual income of $4,000 from
her estate after her death, provided
that he did not remarry, was not in
restraint of marriage and the contracr
was held valid
Another part of the contract provid-
ed that DR.. Appleby should have the
right to reside in the Wilder homo
stead. the home of Mrs. Appleby, and
$4,000 annually for it's maintenance.
1nasmuch as Mrs. Appleby died before
her mother, Mrs. Amherst H. Wilder.
that part of the contract relating to
the Wilder home was without effect,
as Mrs. Appleby, when she made the
contract, had no ownership in the
homestead. DR.. Appleby contested the
contract on the ground that the con-
tract was in restraint of marriage, and
made an attempt to get part of the
Wilder estate as his wife's share. The
Wilders placed their estate in trust for
the benefit of the worthy poor of st.
Paul. The estate amounts to between
$4,000, 900 and $3,000,O00.

Associated Press to The Evening Times
New York, March 29.-This being
Good Friday, there was lull in the
Thaw case. His examination by the
commission in lunacy, which is to de-
termine his present mental condition,
will be resumed tomorrow morning.
The proceedings will be in private, as
they were yesterday, at the prisoners
request.
The questions thus far asked him
were all aimed at finding out how well
equipped he was mentally to consult
with his lawyers when the trial began.
They therefore had to do with the sell
ection of the jury and has part in that
preliminary of the trial, and the mean
ing of the letters and notes he sent to
Delmas during the trial. The letters
and notes are the ones Delmas incor-
porated in the affidavit he submitted to
Justice Fitzgerald, contending that his
client was sane.
The prisoners lawyers are decidedly
sanguine over his manner and ans
wers at yesterdays session of the COM

mission will end it's work with the
examination of Thaw and that it's
findings will be that he is quite cap
able of comforting with them.

Cotton, Cal, March ga disas-
trous wreck on the Southern Pacific
occurred one and a half miles east of
this town shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when the west
bound train. No. 8, from New Orleans
for San Francisco, ran into an open
switch while going at the rate of 40
miles an hour and ten of the fourteen
coaches were derailed. Twenty-six
people are known to have been killed
and the list will total much higher
than this number. The injured num-
ber about 100, many of whom will
die. The wrecked coaches were
hurled in every direction. Four Of
them were smashed into splinters.
Most of the dead were Italians from
New York and New Orleans. They
occupied the smoker and day coach.
The dead were terribly mangled.
Eighteen were taken to Cotton by s
o'clock and eight additional bodies
could be seen underneath one of the
upturned and demolished cars. This
car could not be raised until a der
rick was brought from Los Angeles,
60 miles away. The injured were
carried to this city In vehicles of all
sorts and the Cotton hospital was
quickly filled to its capacity. Many
were then taken to the Presbyterian
church and to private residences in
the vicinity. But two Americans are
known to have been killed, although
several of those among the injured
will undoubtedly die within the next
few hours. :
George L. Sharp of Muncie, Ind,
was instantly killed. The baggage
man of the train, whose name had
not been learned, was also killed. En-
gineer Wormington and Fireman
Crebb both jumped but failed to get
clear and were caught in the wreck
age. They were both terribly burned
and scalded. John Golden, the con-
ductor, was in the Pullman section of
the train and escaped injury. Out Of
about 80 Pullman passengers there
were but two who sustained serious
injuries.
The three Pullman coaches and the
diner which were on the rear of the
train did not leave the track. The
occupants of these cars were practi-
cally unharmed. The Florence Roberts
theatrical company occupied one
coach, which was hurled from the
track and both ends of 1t crushed in
by impact against others. But two
members of Miss Roberts company
out of total of % people were in
jured. The escape from death of the
occupants Of this car was remarkable,
considering the manner in which the
coach was splintered and torn to
pieces. The people were hurled from
one end of the car to the other. There
were three tracks where the accident
occurred, which is in the open coun-
try. The people of Cotton were the
first to be notified of the catastrophe.
Hundreds of people hurried to the
scene of the wreck. Physicians and
nurses were brought from San Ber-
nardino and Cotton and ministered to
the injured.

Rome, March 29.-The prominent

presented to the papal secretary of

setting forth the comparative impor-

was asserted that none so vigorously
took up the cause of the church in it's

were classed as the wealthiest and as
those from whom the holy see can ex-
pect the greatest support. The memo

1t is believed that the document has
had considerable effect, and it is even
hoped that the pope may reconsider

Bemidji, Mimi, March 29.-In the
trial of James Wesley, charged by the
State of Minnesota with the murder of
N. 0. Dahl and his daughter Aagot in
1904, Eugene Caldwell was the prin-
ciple witness today. Caldwell was
placed on the stand just before dinner,
and has been there the larger part of
the afternoon. Caldwell claims ito

nier and Wesley planned to secure the
money in the possession of Dahl. His
testimony was along this line.
Charles Laroque was also on the
stand. He testified that he had made
purchase from Dahl few days prior
to the murder, giving Dahl about $35.
Mrs. i. Halvorson was called to-
day. She was at the Dahl homestead
shortly before the murder, and she
was also there a short time after the
terrible affair.
Last evening, the attorney for the
defendant moved that the case be dis
missed This motion was overruled.
The case of Wesley will probably
last until next Wednesday. 1t is ex-
pected that the state will have all of
its testimony introduced by Monday.
Fournier will be tried directly follow

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, March 29.-President
Roosevelt has concluded to increase
the number of American delegates at
the second Hague conference, a pro-
ceeding which will not have any ef-
feet, however, upon the disposition of
the various projects that will be con-
sidered at that gathering, because each
nation represented is entitled to but
one vote. But because of the COM
plexity and importance of the pro-
gram it is felt by the president that
the American delegation should be en-
larged to permit of subdivision into
committees If need be.
