ASSERTS MUSIC MAY BE SEEN
Notes Can Be Displayed to Eye
as Well as to Ear.

That music may be translated into
color and displayed to the eye as vel
as to the ear is the new and highly
interesting theory developed by Isa
dOre Berger, the English viOlinist, &C
cOrding to the Pittsburgh Gazette
Music and color, he declares, express
exactly the same emotions and feel
ingS, and therefore an opera or 9
symphony may actually be turned into
color and seen. By understanding the
interrelatiOn of color and sound ever
the deaf can learn to enjoy music
when expressed in color. Mr.. Berger
says:
"COlOr is not to be an accOmpani'
ment nor a mere light effect, but a
clear, logical expression of music. The
synchrOnism must be perceived emo
tiOnally rather than scientifically. Fol-
instance, red always expresses passion
anger, temper or any intense feeling
Yellow, the color of light, means love
and happiness. Blue is the mystic
color. Modify the yellow of love with
the mystic blue and you have a violet
a pensive, sad emotion. All the Other
grades of emotion are the result OF
the blending of passion, mystery anC
love, or red, blue and yellow. They
are three primary colOrs and the three
primary emotions"

Job HAD NO SUCH WOES
sos Were Not Like Getting Your
Nose Caught in a CogWheel
Under an Auto.

Speaking at a dinner, William II.
Thompson of Kansas referred to the
beauty of patience and contributed an
anecdote along that line.
Some time since Smith and his wife
yent out fer a spin in their new auto
mobile, but before they had gone many
miles something went amiss with the
machinery. Crawling beneath the
car, Smith began to twist and turn
things, and finally there came sundry
words that sounded like breaking one
Of the blue laws.
"JOhn, John!" expOstulated the good
woman in the car. You should not use
such dreadful languagev :"
"Of course l shouldn't, Mrs. Smith !"
Irritably responded hubby. "Of course
| shouldn't! 1 suppose that If you
we're down under here you would
sweetly Sing!"
"YOu should have more patience.
returned Mrs. Smith. "Why don't you

RUFFED GROUSE SMART BIRD
Feathered Creature Takes ADVANTAGE
of His Natural camoufIaee and
Is Hard to Shoot.

The rufted grouse is the greatest
game bird in this country and prob
ably is hit less than any bird in the
world with the possible exception Of
the Snipe.
Nature has endowed the ruffed
grouse with the means of protection
and the way the bird uses these means
makes him seem a brainy creature.
The color of the ruffed grouse SO
closely resembles the woodland sur
rOundings in the fall that one may
almost walk on them without seeing
them. The bird, making use of its
cOloring, generally lives in rugged
country, where underbrush and spruce
make his detection difficult.
Orce flushed, the ruffed grouse flies
so as to put a tree between himself
and the hunter, adding to the difficulty
of locating him. The bird, unlike quail,
is seldom found in coveys and conse-
quently is hard to hit.
The hunter must always be ready
with gun in position to shoot and
shoot quick.
Work well the underbrush and little
spruces along the sides of ravines. Go
in the dense places in the woodland,
for the ruffed grouse is a recluse.
The grouse, when once under way,
will fly straight, and it is well to hunt
him with more than one in the party.
The hunter who might be on the line
of flight is sure to get a shot.
The ruffed grouse rises from cover
with thunderOus precision and the sue.
cessful hunter of this bird must leave
his NERVES" at home. The uninitiated
is liable to be more frightened than
| the bird.
Ruffed grouse do not lie well to the
dog, running speedily and quietly
ahead or the animal before making
/ flight.

New Uses of Cotton.

The people as yet little understand

which airmen wear. Secretary Dan

100000 pounds of cotton for navy

Wilson is one Of about, 500 deaf mutes
