1t 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 all space and all objects and
TO be coextensiye with the universe.
According to this theory, when the
ether is caused to vibrate at certain
rate 1t gives rise to the sensation of
light in proportion to the rate Of yibra-
ton, or, In other words, the wave
length. In this way the various colors
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 a 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 co1ored bodies owe
their color to the fact that they exert
selective action on the waves OF rays
Of light which fall upon them, allowing
some to pass on and SO give the effect
of color, while others are absorbed or
destroyed.

Turkish Political Prisoners.

When a Turkish political prisoner is
sentenced to be deported to Tripoli or
to the Edphrates, his friends bid him
farewell. They know that they will
never see him again alive and in all
probability never hear Of him again
unless enormous sums are forthcoming
to bride scores of different officials. In
fact, the only difference between a
death sentence in Turkey and one of
transportation is that the former is
more rapid and more merciful The
government prefers the latter because
it is less public. Now and then, how
ever, news leaks through. OF poor

THE largest, broadcast. deepest and
most Intellectual genius Of the nine
teenth century, thus has Coleridge
been described, and probably no bet
ter description Of the great philoso-
pher and litterateur can be found. He
was youth of impulses and tried In
turn to become a cobbler, a surgeon
and a soldier before he settled down
and gave proof of his vast literary at
tainments. Some of his poems have
been accepted as the noblest pieces of
imaginative writing produced by a
modern poet, while as literary critic
he had few equals in his generation.

In 1900, when the frontage of the
Theatre Francois was rebuilt after the
disastrous fire in which one OF the
most charming actresses of the Maison
de Moliere lost her life several shops
disappeared, among them being that OF
the famous Restaurant Cheyet It was
not properly speaking a restaurant.
Chevet used to sell liqueurs, groceries,
smoked meats, etc, and In couple of
low ceilinged rooms on the first floor
he would serve a meal or two to con-
noisseurs. One day In 1865 or 1866
two young men of fashion, Russians
both Of them, came In and called for
dinner In one Of the little rooms which
were above the shop. They asked for
caviare, but when they got it they pro-
tested loudly that the caviare was Of
inferior quality and called for the own
er of the shop. He came, apologized
and was met with the remark, tender
ed laughingIy by one of the diners,
that next time they came they would
bring their own cayiare They came
again and brought it in a little white
wooden barrel, and when they left they
had it put on one side for them. From

came and dined chez Chevet, dined in
variably in the same room and always
began their dinner with their own ca
Ware. One day they finished the bar
rel, and few days later, in the after
noon, one of them brought another one.
"Put 1t in the little cupboard in the
room we always dine in he said to
the waiter, "and do not let anybody
touch it until we come to dine" The
waiter took 1t, but on his way upstairs
something peculiar struck him.
Look at this barrel" he said to the
restaurant keeper. There is some
thing queer about it. /"
sThat is no business of ours, said
the master of the establishment, "and
am not going to look at It, anyhow.
What will our customers say If they
find we have opened it?'
"Oh," said the waiter, TIVE can open
it and close. it again, and they will new
er know. 1t is certainly different from
the last barrel It is heavier, to begin
with.
His insistence prevailed, and the bar
rel was opened. The restaurant keep
er and the waiter started back In
fright. There was no cavaire, but gun
powder in that little barrel, which was
an internal machine. The little dining
room was exactly underneath the impe-
rial box, and there IS little doubt that

COLLIDE IN TUNNEL
Trans Atlantic Tram Carrying Steam.

jured-NesIigence Charged.

Nantes, France. Sept. 25.--A trans
Atlantic train carrying first class pas
sengers from Paris to Cherbourg,
where they were to embark on the
steamer Adriatic, was telescoped to-
day in the Breval tunnel, and twenty
persons were injured. The disaster is
said to have been due to negligence
OF the crew of the train carrying pas
sengei.s, as no lights We're burning in
the rear of the train, and this neglect
caused another train to run into the
passenger train.
The train with the Adriatic's pas
senge,-s left Paris in two sections. The
first, containing second class baggage
stopped Just beyond the Breval tun-
mel owing to an accident to the loco
motive and the second section, con-
tanning first class passengers, was
stopped by a signal, when, in the mid
die OF the tunnel. the regular train
from Rouen followed the second sec
tion, and altho there was a red signal
up ut the entrance of the tunnel, It
only reduced its speed and entered
while. going at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour. The collision followed.
