Fantastic Theories About Re-
lationships Between Tones,
Keys, Colors and
Cdors.

yr. RsItnald Do koven was scarcely wei
sdvsei when he stated TO a reporter as
set form IN last Sundays Tribune, that his
scheme for illustrating music by colors
supposed to be related to the voices OF the
various instruments Of the orchestra Is
novel in theory. New in method ii may be
(though even that remains to be seem. but
new in principle it certainly is not. On the
contrary, books and experiments touching
''color addition" have been written and
made at intervals for more than two hun
dred years.
Twelve years ago the writer saw an ex-
pertinent something like that described by
Mr.. De Koven at the International EXPOSE
ton In Paris, though the colors were not
correlated with the timbres of instruments
but with harmonies, cabinet organ being
used and the room or its walls being sur
fused with color as various chords were
played. Nobody attached any scientihc
value to the exhibition, which was only
pretty and mildly entertaining. Chords
keys, vowel sounds as we'll as instru-
mental timbres, have all been associated at
times with colors by more or less fantastic
spectators, who have not only disagreed
tamong themselves. but have called out no
little ridicule. To them have also been
added odors, and less than ten years ago
there was an entertainment in Carnegie
Iyceum at which. according TO the pro-
sgramme. "a newly invented apparatus TO
kspread perfumes in large halls and thea
tires in the shortest possible space OF time
will be tested and an original fantasy,
entitled "A Trip to Japan i'm sixteen Mill
lutes,' conveyed TO the audience by sue
tession Of odors." The entertainment was
announced as the first experimental per-
fume concert IN America" The writer did
not attend the concert but is under the
impression that since then one or two
theatre managers in New York nave at
tempted to attract audiences TO their shows
by disseminating perfumes in their thea
Tres.
But even this device is as old as the
hills, fgurativey speaking. AZ least II Is
as old as a ballet described by Apulelus
in his Golden ASS" written in the second
century of the Christian era.
