HEALING Power Of Prism.

In certain hospitals they are working

principles that seem fully established
by numerous experiments, says the
Los Angeles Times. Here are few
facts that they claim to have discov-
cred: Blue, especially the soft shades,
quiets the nerves. Yellow has a tonic
effect on respondent persons. Red
cheers depressed patient, but in case
Of some nervous disorders is too strong
medicine. Pink, no matter how soft
and charming in hue, is a very excit-
ing color. Green is one Of the best of
all colors to soothe and rest the nerves.
The treatment is given in a room
where there are no decorations or wall
colorings to conflict with whatever hue
is used in the treatment, and a food Of
the chosen color is thrown about the
patient, women being found particular
~ sensitive to the effect of the rainbow

When the leaves are family touched

There's a subtle strain of sadness in the

And sunset skies CLEAN threatening and

The crows that call so harshly as they
hurry overhead
Are laughing at our sorrow and dismay.

Supplants the perfume of the dying rose

Amsriean Dsvies Purchased to Aid
Nearing Of Himself and Queen.

Americas Dsvios Purchased to Aid
Asaring OF Himself and Queen.
Edward VII. OF England Is growing
deaf. This fact became known recent
y when artificial hearing instruments
We're shipped to buckingham palace,
London, by the American line steamer
New York for the use OF the king and
Queen Alexandra, who has long suffer
ed from deafness, says the New York
Times. The instruments are the finest
and most complete ever made.
There are three sets. The sound con-
centrator OF transmitter and the ear
pieces Of the first one are of ivory, con-
nected with white silk covered cord
and fitted with head band. The Sec
Ond is the same size, but finished in
black, while the third is In box form,
resem bling camera, containing two
transmitters, and is for use at the
theater or table. Ali the metal parts
are finished in gold. The first two in
struments may be worn, with the ex-
ception of the ear piece under the
waist OF coat.
The instruments have been made SO
as to enable the king and queen to
talk together without the use Of
trumpet or horn. The transmitter, or
sound concentration, will be attached
to the clothing of the royal couple. In
the case Of the queen it will be hidden
from view in the folds of her dress,
while that for the kings use will be
hidden from view underneath his coat.
The sounds are focused on the concen-
traitor in the same manner that the
rays Of the sun are focused by means
Of an ordinary reading glass; At this
point of focus is placed a supersensi-
tive microphone, which takes up the
focused or magnifed sounds and con-
veys them to the ear by means Of a
small silk covered tinsel cord, through
which an electric current Is conveyed
by small battery to an ear piece,
which is held to the ear. The batteries
are carried in the pocket, being about
three inches high and an inch and a
half in diameter.
The ear piece is somewhat smaller
than the ordinary telephone ear piece.
