EFFECTS OF COLOR.
Hearing Is Disturbed by Red, YelloSs
Green and Blue, as Proven
Touch Of Blind Persone.

The relation of color to sensa
ton is discussed by G. M. Giesslei
i'll Leipsic publication. That
light has a decided effect on the
sense organs is we'll known in y
general way, as is the effect OF col.
ors to a less extent, but Mr.. Giess-
ler examines in details the expert.
ments of one Nvbautschitsch.
This Investigation found thas
the sense of hearing was disturbed
by red, yellow, green and blue, not
not only the sAb;active sensations
being affected, but also the lcca-
ton of the source of the sound.
The sense of equilibrium is af'
fected by colors, although the
most remarkable effects are pro
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 it 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 case of temperature, blue
and violet cause 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 deep tone,
while violet causes 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
experimenter, Giesbach, found
that the sense of touch in persons
born blind was below normal in.
stead of being above, as is com.
monty supposed.
"It is also found that the other
senses suffer from the lack of the
sense of sight. For example
smokers are frequently unable in
the dark by means o; the sense
of smell to tell whether or not
cigar is lit, while in darkness the
Rhsrpest sense of taste is not able
to distinguish between fluids
which have really different
taytes."

No MORE NIGHT RATES.
The Cumberland TeIe.
phone Plays Even On
Free County Service.

The Cumberland Telephone &
Telegraph Company will abolish
the reduced long distance night
rates which have been effective for
years, and will have uniform rate
applying over the entire system.
1t has not yet been decided when
this change will be put into effect,
but General Manager Hume ad-
mitted to a reporter for the Amer
lean on Tuesday night that the
move had long been contemplated
and that the company had determ-
ined to take this step.
With respect to the proposed
abolition of the night concession,
Mr.. Hume said:
The idea in g:anting the speci-
al night rate was to compete with
the telegraph companies. They
accept messages at night rate to
be delivered at their option before
noon OH the following day. Now,
as a matter of fact, the patron is
never in direct communication
with his correspondent. We must
give our patrons the service, wheth-
er night or day, and the message
is transmitted direct. We have
found from experience that hum
dreds of our patrons delay the
transmission Cf ftheir business mes
sages until the night rate is in ef-
feet, and as a consequence. there IS
a congestion of business in our
Offices until a late hour each night.
As any reasonable person can see,
the cost to the company for this
night service is considerable more
than the same service would cost
us at day rates for labor. We are
compelled to keep operators on duty
at all the remote offices awaiting
this volume of night business. l
wish to state for benefit Of our pat
a
rons that we shall continue to recei-
We and transmit messages on the
same basis as the telegraph conf
panies. If one of our patrons
wants a message sent, he may bring
it to any one of our offices and II
will! receive the same attention that
is given by either of the telegraph
companies.
Il cannot state inst when the
rule viii be effective continued
Mr.. Hume, but the public will
be given due notice before the night
rate is permanently abolished. -

The Democrat will add that the
new rate became effective August
1st, and is now in full force.

MISSISSIPPI COTTON AT
THE JAMESTOWN EX-
POSITION.
By H. Chapman Williams.

BY H. Chapman Williams.
mississippi made no appro-
priation for an exhibit at the
Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position, and it is, therefore due
solely to the enterprise and pup
ic-spiritedness of her citizens that
any display of that states wonder
full resources is made at this latest
of the big international exposi-
tons.
The exhibit, which is located
in the States Exhibit Palaces, is
made by Chas. Scott, of Rosedale,
Miss, and S. BerrLimer 4 Sons,
of Port Gibson, Miss, and con-
sists entirely of cotton.
There are six bales frcu Mr..
Scott's plantation in the Yazoo-
Mississippi Delta, where is grown
what is known as benders and long
staple cotton, a variety much su-
perior to the upland staple. Three
of the bales are of the long staple
variety and three of the Gender,
this latter is though like wool and
is said to be the strongest fiber in
the world.
The bales are wrapped in red,
white and blue satin, representing
the National colors, and are bound
with gold and silver bans. On one
end of each of these bales appear
the name of exhibitor and the plan
tation upon which ssit was grown,
and on the other ends of three OF
the bales is the Mississippi flag
while on the end on tfe.other three
is the Mississippi coat-ot-arins.
One bale grades fair, two mid
ding, and one good middling.
As an idea of the exceptional
quality of these exhibits, two
Norfork cotton buyers who han
dies half million bales of Fair.
The staple is very long and Is
cent per pound would be cheal
for the cotton on an average. One
bale is of a 2 inch staple, and the
others run from inch to l 70 i'll
ches.
Upon the close of the James
town Exposition this cotton will b1
shipped to Manchester. England
where it will be on exhibition fol-
sometime prior to the being plac-
ed on the market.

largest individual land owners II

That there will be contest, no
matter which way the primary i'll
Mississippi went, is the infomor-
nation that reached The CONNER
cial Appeal from several reliable
sources in Mississippi last night.
Friends of three candid ates are not
satisfied with the closeness of the
vote, and the total vote cast seems
to indicate there is someting rot
ten in the State of Denmark. as
one we'll posted Mississippi pol
itician put it. In the senatorial
primary the total vote was 49,
O33, which is said to be larger
than the list, after the registered
poll sheets had been purged of all
unlawful voters. No direct charge
of fraud have been made, but both
sides are said to be preparing to
meet any emergency. Gov. Var
daman carried Pearl River county,
but his friends say that he Should
have received larger vote than
was returned for him. The same
statement is made as to other coun-
ties he carried, and also about
some he lost. On the other hand
friends of Mr.. Williams think he
carried several counties that are to
be found in the Vardaman column,
and that some of his majorities are
reduced below what they should
be.
WILLIAMS MAJORITY.
According to revised figures OBJ
tanned by The CONNER cial APP
peal Mr.. Williams has lost 97O votes
from the total given him in Sun
day mornings paper, lis lead now
being 765 votes. When corrected
and complete returns are received
