COLOR AND SOUND.
Hues That Humans Cannot See and
Tones Louder Than Thunder
That Are Unheard.

The primary cOlors 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,
cams scross the statement that there
were tnASmerahle light waves longer
than those which give violet. AT once
the question sprang, Were these longer
waves represented by colors 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 cOlOTS 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 a 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 a 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. It is with sight
as with sound. We know now that
there are noises louder than thunder
which we cannot hear, the roar that
Hes 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 a part Of ma
lures orchestra and that part imper-
rectly; seeing only a thOusandth part
or the color marVels about us and see
ing that infnitesimal part incorrectly

The Trick of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.

The Trick of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.
Fire tricks were practiced in very
ancient times. The first known fire
breather was a Syrian slave named
EUnus, a leader in the Servile war in
Sicily, 130 B. G. He pretended to have
immediate communication with the
gods. When deSirOus of inspiring bis
followers with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order to accomplish this feat Ru-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends,
and, having filed it with some burn
ing substance, he put it In his mouth
and breathed through it. The same
trick Is performed today In a more
approved manner. The performer rolls
some 1ax or hemp into a ball about
the size Of a walnut, which be let's
burn until it is nearly consumed.
Then he rolls around it more fax
while 1t is still burning. By this
means the fire is retained In the bah
for a long time. He slips this ball
into his mouth unperceived and
breathes through it. His breath re-
wives the fire, and he sustains no In
jury so long as he inhales only through
his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
TO account for other feats of this sort
performed by the ancients. An old
ordeal was the holding Of a redhot
iron by the accused, who was not
burned If he were innocent. Probably
some protective paste was used on the
hands. The peculiar property OF
mineral salts, such as alum, in pro-
tecting articles Of dress from fire has
long been known. An old Nfilanese
devised a costume consisting of a
cloth covering for the body which had
been STEPPED in alum. A metallic
dress Of wire gauze was added to this,
and thus protected a man might walk
on hot irOn.-HarpeT's.
