interesting theory developed by lisa.
dore Berger, the English yiollnist, -
cording to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Music and color, he declares. express
exactly the same emotions and fec.
ings, and therefore an opera or q
symphony may actually be turned int
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 witt
the mystic blue and you have violet
a pensive, sad emotion. All the othel
grades of emotion are the result Of
the blending of passion, mystery and
love, or red, blue and yellow. They
are three primary colors and the three
primary emotions"

Fine Work of Art In New York.

Most important In the accessions of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art is
delightful relief sculpture of Vishnu.
''The Preserver, the Pillar of the Uni
verse" says the New York Times. The
relief is 611s inches in height by %
in width and is beautifully carved
from a greenish black stone in high
relief. The figure, standing erect, is
impressive and the serious face gives
the idea of the thought power for
which Vishnu stands, the balancing
force between the contending powers
of good and evil. There is wonder
full amount of finely carved detail in
the ornamentation of the figure and
the sort Of canopy under which 1t
stands. AT the foot of two pillars on
either side are two smaller figures, and
In the upper part of the relief are
tiny figures who represent the ten ava
tars of Vishnu. The figure comes from
a temple In Kikkeri, in the Mysore dis
trict of southern India, which was
erected in III, and the sculpture is
supposed to date back to the last quar-
ter of the twelfth century. 1t was re
moved to England in the early part of
the nineteenth century.

Scenery in China is conspicuous by
its absence. Mountains, mountain
passes, rivers, bridges, city walls, tenn

objects are represented by an arrange
ment of chairs, stools and benches,
while the passage of rivers. horse rid

feels an itching sensation and throws
himself into an imaginary fish pond
where, to the beating OF gongs, he goes
through the motions of washing and
finds himself cured of that loathsome
disease, to become future chief grad

expedition brandishes his whip, capers
around the stage a few times amidst
the clashing of cymbals, and then

PLATT ADAMS JOINS
ATHLETES IN FRANCE
Once Won Worlds Standing High
Jump Championship At 0lypic
Contests In Stockholm

Platt Adams, who won the world s
standing high jump championship at
the Olympic contest in Stockholm and
was second in the standing broad
jump. has joined the host of noted
athletes who have gone TO France for
the Y NJ c. A. He will instruct our
troops in track and field events and
also in baseball as a means of keep
ing up their morale and to keep them
from becoming muscle-bound from too
long-continued military drill. He had
been engaged in athletic work for the
Red Triangle in New York and in
duced a number of men prominent in
the athletic world to volunteer their
services. When the recent intensive
weeks campaign for recruits for the
overseas service closed, Mr.. Adams
asked to be relieved of his duties here
and be sent to France
Mr. Adams is considered the great
est all-around jumper in the world.
He is consistent in his broad and high
jumping and few could equal him in
either He did not confine himself to
jumping, but was a good all-around
athletic. He was an excellent shot
putter, pole vaulter, hurdler, and
sprinter in the days when sports en-
gagged his attention.
short time before he left for
France he went out one morning to
see if his skill as a jumper had de-
serted him. He had not trained for
fully two years, yet he easily cleared
six feet at a running high jump.
Mr. Adams was not a college ath-
lete He received all of his training
at the New York Athletic Club after
he was twenty-one years old. He be-
lieves that to the fact that he did not
begin his training until he had his
full growth and to the further fact
that he had no college athletics he
owes his great strength and the sue
cess that came to him in field and
track meets in this country and
abroad. In addition to his inter
national achievements, Mr.. Adams
won the national championship in the
broad and high standing jumps in half
a dozen or more contests.
Il am going to France" said Mr..
Adams just before sailing, because
think / can be of most service to
our troops there. OF course, I shall
instruct whatever men are placed in
my charge in track and field events as
my training fits me best for that work,
but l shall also organize baseball
mines. 1 believe that the soldiers
should acquire versatility in athletics
for its recreational value and to pre-
vent becoming muscle-bound.
THE Y. NJ. G. A. cannot supply di-
rectors for all of our military units in
France and it hopes to develop in
each company or regiment several
men who can be taught to act as di-
rectors after the " man has gone to
some other unit
THE Y: M. c. A. needs more athletic
directors in France" continued Mr..
Adams, land it has been my conten-
ton right along that the more famous
the athlete is the better for the ~
for the simple reason that big names
attract attention to the work the Red
Triangle is doing for our troops in
France and draw others into the
service"

The Parrot of Amiens.

Possibly for English readers the
fame of the Jackdaw of Reims has
ecIiDsed the fame of the Parrot Of
Amiens. But Vert-Vert was a bird
who made history in a small way. He
was a monastery parrot renowned for
piety until he was sent on visit, by
canal boat. TO a nunnery. and acquired
a new vocabulary on the way-with
terrible results. as can be imagined.
The author of his adventures, Jean
Baptiste Gresset. a native of Amiens,
had to leave a clerical school in con-
sequence of the scandal caused by the
poem of which vert-vert was the
avian hero.-London Chronicle.

A Very Live Tree.

In a recent St Nicholas there is a
picture of the battered trunk of a
tree, broken away in places, and in
side 1t is growing a young tree. The
old tree was one of the giant redwoods
of California, and In spite of wind and
fire it has made up its mind to keep
right on growing in the person of the
young tree in the very spot where it
has stood for years and tears
During terrible stor5I on the noun
tain the top of the tree was broken of
and afterward the trunk was very
nearly destroyed by forest fire, but
the root retained vitality enough to
send up a young tree within the trunk.

and towering high into the air, and its

HUN PROPAGANDA
LIES BEING NAILED
Anthracite Industry Correct False
Reports OF Coal Sales. Lies by
The Wholesale

More German propaganda lies are be-
ing circulated in the anthracite region
with the evident purpose of curtailing
coal output. Acts of vandalism being
reported add to the general Hun plan
of trying to cripple the industry by
loss of coal in transit, wrecks, fires, la
Dor agitation and false rumors as to
production.
Traffic was tied up for hours, yes
terday, in the st. Clair yards of the
Pas and r. Railroad. when a draft of
coal cars collided with an engine. Six
cars were derailed and two crushed to
bits Wreckage. like this, affects out
put by retarding movement of coal and
the return of cars to the mines from
destination points.
To nail lie out of the whole cloth,
A. c. Campbell, fuel administrator for
LaZerne county, to-day, issued state
ment correcting a Hun propaganda re-
port that all coal sales would stop,
after September, to the householder.
He said nothing was further from the
truth.
Hun agents are agitating unrest
among the mine workers who have
proven themselves consistently loyal
and patriotic and who are earnestly
working to get out anthracite. Dis
gruntled men, who have been practical
ly kicked out Of the Miners Union and
who are jealous of the district chiefs,
are working in various ways TO stir up
trouble between the operators and
workers when perfect harmony now
exists. Their action could not better
serve the Hun cause If done for Ger
man money.
Lies, by the wholesale, are being dis
seminated among the workers calcu-
lated to make the men disconted. It
was in such fashion, that German pro-
paganda opened the way for the big
Italian drive last year.
The state law which prevents a man
from mining coal until he has had at
least two years experience in the
mines; the August draft which will
probably take away another 1000 men
from the anthracite fields and the gen
eral scarcity in all lines of supplies
all have a retarding influence on the
anthracite industry which is straining
to get out a maximum production.
Coupled with these obstacles, comes
the Hun propaganda attempting to stir
4 up trouble between the operators and
men Yet, despite all this, the indus
+ try is getting out close on to 275,000
+ tons daily with working force depict
! ed 33 900 men since the war began.
