The primary col0rs shown in the
rainbow vary from red to blue and
violet and the vibrations or lengths
of the light waves that give us violet
grow shorter and shorter and at length
give us red. These vibrations can be
measured One day, quite by chance.
l came across the statement that there
were innumerable light waves longer
than those which 80 violet. At once
the question sprana, We're these longer
waves represented by cClors which we
don't see, colors for which we have no
name, colors of which we can form
no conception? And was the same
thing true of the waves which, grow
ing shorter and shorter, give us the
sensation of red? There is room, of
course, for myriads of colors beyond
this other extremity of our vision. A
little study convinced me that my
guess was right, for all the colors
which we see are represented to our
sense of feeling in degrees of heat;
that Is, blue shows one reading on the
thermometer and red higher read
ing, and by means of this new stand
ard l discovered that mans range of
vision is not even placed in the mid
die of the register of heat, but occu-
pies little space far up toward the
warmer extremity of it. There are
thousands of degrees of cold lower
than blue and hundreds of degrees of
heat above red. All these gradations
are doubtless represented by colors
which no human eye can perceive, no
human mind imagine. 1t is with sight
as with sound. We know now that
there are noises louder than thunder
which we cannot hear the roar that
lies on the other side of silence. We
men are poor restless prisoners, hem
med in by our senses as by the walls
of a cell, hearing only part of ma
lures orchestra and that part imper-
fectly; seeing only a thousandth part
of the color marvels about us and see

ON LEGAL POINT
NEPHEW HOPES TO

The EDDY Case Promises to supply
Many Fat Fees to the Lawyers

s Concord, N. H., Feb. 10.--A fine le-
gal point has developed in the Eddy

mothers win declared invalid has been
answered by the trustees and the ex-
ecutor who claim that the bequest of
the residuary estate, worth $4,000, 900,
is legal, because it is for many church.
es and not one church. The state law
prohibits the giving of over $4,000 per
year toany church
The defendants deny that there is
no regular system of educational and
charitable work connected with the
mother church, and say that on the
contrary the fundamental purpose for
which the church was established and
exists, namely, the promotion of the
doctrines of Christian Science, is es-
sentially charitable, the objects sought
to be furthered by such promotion be-
ing the furtherance and spreading of
religion, the spiritual education of
mankind and the relief and overcom-

All three of the visitors made ad-

great benefit that such places have
been to religious people in other Sec

that there are thousands of people all

to go and spend the summer, where
their children may not be lured by

hall, and other temptations and en-
Elements and conditions Objectionable

The promoters of the resort feel con
f1dent of success, judging by the popu-

they are quite sure that at no distant
date the stock will be worth four or
five to one. Several wealthy gentle
men have offered to take the entire
amount Of the capital stock amount
ing to quarter of million dollars,
but the promoters desire to interest
the Methodists in the South in the un-
dertaking and stock will be offered in
all the Southern states. If all of it is
not taken in a reasonable length of
time, the balance will be sold to the
parties desiring it.
At present stock only is being offer
ed for sale, but after the capital stock
has been subscribed, the land will be
parked off, graded and paved and

resort was purchased at $50 per acre.
There are number of Northern re-

W. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method of the present Ia
tional administration Is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor OF Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Pre1udices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t il
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
In this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
h law should be made SO clear,
plain and definite that 1t could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid In full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public &C.
countant. There should be a board
OF examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks' are watched by the ma
t1onal government. They should have
h right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all tho direc-
torates Of these companies.
