Light and coTor.

It is now the general conclusion OF
scientists that light is simply the re-
suit OF vibrations, or waves. which oc-
cur in hypothetical substance known
as the ether. a substance supposed to
permeate an space and all objects and
to be coextensive with the universe.
According to this theory. when the
ether is caused TO vibrate at certain
rate it gives rise to the sensation Of
light In proportion to the rate Of vibra-
ton. OF, in other words. the wave
length. In this way the various cuIors
are produced. red having the longest
wave length and violet the shortest
wave length OF any of the colors- that
is. there are more waves or vibrations
In given time In the case Of violet
than in the case Of red light. Briefly.
In relation to this peculiar phenomenon
the theory Is that colored bodies owe
their color to the fact that they exert
a selective action on the waves or rays
Of light which fall upon them, allowing
some to pass on and so give the eject
OF color, while others are absorbed or
destroyed

LeYee Boards Love Feast.

A special meeting of the Lafourche

leans Office of that body on Monday
last TO receive the report of the closing
of the Live Oak creyasse and settle
the bills for the work, was, to quote
the Picayune's expression, turned

were in attend ance President Maurin,
Commissioners Brady, Templet, Sell
lers, Perez and Lorio, Secretary Nc
Cane, Assistant State Engineer Lewis,
Hon. Theodore Wilkinson, Col. ]. s..
Landry and several others, and after
the report of Mr.. Wilkinson describing
the crevasse work in detail had been
heard and the accounts, aggregating
81, 589.36 audited and ordered paid,
President Maurin took the floor for a
purpose not included in the regular
order OF business under which the
boards sessions are usually con-
Quoted. Voicing the sentiments of him
self and colleagues. Capt. Maurin ex-
pressed appreciation of the splendid
work done by Mr.. Wilkinson and his
associates in stopping the flow of the
Mississippi's destructive food through
the Live Oak break, and as a token of
this appreciation and of personal es-
TEEN for the recipient, pinned TO Mr..

ing, giving great praise to the levee
board and his co-workers in the VIC
torions fight against the mighty river.
A beautiful gold watch and fob were
then presented to Col. j. Stanislaus

Illegally of the FaVrOt Indictment
Affirmed.

One of the most interesting and i'm
portant OF the supreme court decisions
announced at New Orleans last Mon
day was handed down by Associate
Justice Monroe in the matter of the
State of Louisiana vs.. George K. Fav-
rot, wherein defendant stands charged
with the murder of DIR. r. 81. Aldrich
at Baton Rouge.
The case was appealed to the SUE
preme court on the part of the state
from decision rendered by Judge Fl.
F. Brunot, of the East Baton Rouge
district court, quashing the Indictment
returned by the grand jury on the
principal ground that one of the mem
bers of that body was unable to read
and write the English language. Other
informalities were involved, such as
the validity OF the order of court con-
vening the jury commission; failure
of members of the commission to sub
scribe to the oath of Office in proper
form; failure to give notice of meeting
to all the members Of the commission,
and error in manner of selecting the
grand jurors; but the most material
point was the alleged illiteracy of one.
member of the grand jury. Judge
Brunot decided that the fact was
proven, and that Ii constituted fatal
defect in ali the findings of the inquis-
itorial body. The supreme court af-
firms this conclusion, hence the Fav-
rot Indictment, together with several
others returned by the same grand
jury, falls to the ground.
Steps have been taken to form new
grand jury upon which will devolye
the duty of investigating the killing
of DR.. Aldrich by Congressman-elect
Favrot and returning q finding in ac-
cordance with the notorious facts at
tending the homicide. It is to be hoped
that this duty will be performed in q
straightforward and honest manner,
and that no attempt will be made TO
bring law and justice into disrepute
by smothering the prosecution In its
preliminary stages and thus preventing
a fair and square vindication either of
the act OF the slayer or the good name
of his victim.
