ASSERTS MUSIC MAY BE SEEN
English VIoIinist Declares Wnscme
Notes Can Be Displayed to Eye
as Well as to Ear

That music may be translated into
color and displayed to the eye as well
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 a
symphony may actually be turned into
color and seen. By understanding the
interrelation Of color and sound even
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. For
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 violet,
a pensive, sad emotion. All the other
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"

Old EnoIish Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
IN Britain in many unexpected places
IS said to be largely due to the STIR
ring up of the country that was given
by the great exhibition at London OF
1851. This was soon after the devel-
opment of the railway system in Eng
land, and there fiocked to London, a
large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to
the country danes. The new things
had a wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid Of
much of their old furniture and
bought new. Much Of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This ac-
counts for the finding today Of much
good old furniture in small houses In
provincial towns and among country
people.-Indianapol News.
