EFFECTS OF coLoRs.

DIR. Ponza. director of the lunatit
asylum at Alessandria, Italy, has
cured many Of his insane patients
by combining them in rooms of some
uniform color. Patients suffering
from acute melancholia have become
cheerful after confinement in red
room. But some forms of life are
adversely affected by certain colors.
II has been observed, for instance,
that flies and other insects do not
flourish or are killed outright by the
light which comes through blue
glass OF blue gauze.

CLEVER CAMPAIGN TRICK.
Democrats VIII Get Tons of Material
Free Through the Mails.

Washington. July 7.-Attention
was called the other day to the fact
that Representative Lloyd, of Mis-
souri,. had in his leave TO print" re-
marks given I'm the Congressional
Record full list of the membership
or the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee. of which ne
Is the chairman, together with all the
subcommittee and their duties. He
also stated that 1t was proposed to
issue a campaign book, and he en-
umerated the kind of literature the
book would contain. taking particu-
lar pains to state that it would be
made up Of speeches delivered in
Congress and extracts from various
Government documents.
This was a decided innovation and
at first the motive of Mr.. Lloyd was
not understood, but 1t Is now quite
plain that the Democratic chairman
knew exactly what he was about.
He has fixed II 80 that there will be
nothing In the campaign book to be
issued by the Democrats that cannot
under the law and the postal regula-
tions be sent free through the mails,
There will. Of course, be many
thousands Of these campaign books
printed, and as they will be In de-
mand all over the United States, the
campaign committee will be able ia
save neat sum. which would be
spent In postage had not Represen-
tative Lloyd had the foresight to fix
the thing so adroitly by getting his
work In through the Congressional
Record.
He has certainly scored one on the
Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee. Of which Representative
Mckinley. Of Illinois, is chairman.
However. when 1t comes to the
spending OF money the Republicans
are not hard pushed--at least they
have not been in the past. In the
last speech made by him in the Sen.
ate Senator Dolliver. of Iowa, raped
the Republican chairman very hard
on account of his methods of run
ming a campaign. and 1t Is under
stood that Mr.. Lloyd will include the
attack of the Iowa insurgent in the
Democratic campaign book.

"A back burden" says she. "of gold.

In a short time the king had a bur-

Meanwhile the tanks filed with water.
and the boat went down at an incline
OF about twenty-five degrees. After
striking the bottom the water began
rushing In. the switchboard was i'm
mersed In water, all electric lights went
out, the fuses burnt away, and the
boat was filed with poisonous gases,
so that we experienced the greatest
difficulty In breathing.
Under these conditions we worked
our very utmost with the hand pumps
to empty the main ballast tank, which.

though we could not read the gauges
owing to darkness. No electric cur

TOWER OF LONDON.

The Picturesque Old Structure on the
Banks Of the Thames.
The Tower Of London IL one of the
most picturesque places In all Eng

OF the Thames and just east of the
business district Of London. 1t occu.
pies about twelve acres and is sur.
rounded by broad and shallow moat
In feudal days it was one of the
strongest fortresses In the country and
was deemed lmpregnable. 1t Is now
government storehouse and armory
and, above all. one of the sights OF
London.
The moat, which, with the battle
ment and towers, makes the stone
structure such hoary antiquity, Is
bordered within by lofty castellated
wall At frequent intervals of this
part OF the structure there are massive
nanking towers
Within this wall rises another of
similar construction, but Of greater
height. Here are the various barracks
and armories. In the center Of all Is
the lofty keep or donjon known as
the White tower. This was erected
In the days of William the ConQueror
and contains one of the most charm
Ing little chapels Of Norman design
which have remained till the present
day.
The White tower was the court of
the Plantagenet kings. In the north.
west corner Is St Peters chapel. now
the garrison church. In another part
Is the jewel Office. containing crown
jewels Of enormous value. One set
which you see In the center of q case
is said alone to be worth about $15,-

MADRIZ ANOTHER WEYLER.
Nicaraguan Adopts Reconcentrado
Tactics of Bloody" Spaniard.

Washington. July S.--A repetition
OF the Weyier reconcentrado system
IN Cuba, which caused widespread
criticism just before the opening of
the war with Spain. has been inaugu-
rated in Nicaragua by the govern
ment authorities. according to ad-
vices to the State department today.
Probably 5000 people in the vicinity
OF the city of Granada are ordered
to concentrate at Granada under an
order issued by Sebastian Salinas, the
political chief and commandant of the
fortress Of the department Of Gran
ada, Nicaragua.
This order was published In FL
Commercio. Manpgua newspaper,
and transmitted to the State depart
ment here. as follows
Il. Within twenty-four hours
from the present moment. all the in
habitants Of the Mombacho Ridge
shall assemble at Granada, without
distinction Of sex or age.
"2. Persons not complying with
this regulation shall be treated as
revolutionists and dealt with as
SUCH"
According to the view here, this
order would give the Granada military
regime sufficient pretext to go up in
to the Mombacho Ridge. where a
spontaneous revolution recently was
put down. and shoot or kill any one
who refused to obey the concentra-
ton edict.

A BRAVE GIRL.

Her Terrible Experience While On O.
Smuggling Expedition.
This tale Of heroism displayed BY q
young woman engaged In smuggling
contraband goods over the Swiss-ltal-
ian border comes from Geneva: Mile.
Porett. aged eighteen. and her broth
or, aged twenty-three, left Swiss terri
tory to cross the Baldisco pass carry
ing contraband goods into Italy. On
the summit they were overtaken BY q
Violent snowstorm and were soon In
deep snow. The Porettis roped them
selves, the young man leading. They
lost their way. and while attempting
to find the path Poretti fell through
the snow into crevasse into which he
nearly dragged his sister. The girl,
however. planted her ice ak In the
snow and withstood the shock.
EARLY the next morning several
smugglers crossing the pass from
Swiss territory into italian found the
young girl near the ordinary route TAX
en- by smugglers and recognized her at
once. as she belonged to q smuggIeYs
family and lived at Chiavenna. The
smugglers at once drew up the hroth-
er. but found that he had died during
the thirteen hours bis sister had held
him by the rope. He had received se-
we're injuries In the head. and his body
was frozen.
THE smugglers carried down the
brave girl. who was almost uncon-
scious, as well as the dead body of her
brother. and notified the Poretti family
at Chiavenna. On reaching the valley
the girl had recovered sufficiently fron
her terrible experience to explain that
SIS and her brother had spoken fer
several hours after the accident and at
last he had said that he felt nothing
and wanted to sleep.
"A warm night followed the snow
storm, or two dead bodies would have
been found. Under the great strain
the rope had cut through the GIRLS
clothes and her waist was bleeding
when she was rescued."-Chicago
News.
