HoaU 1t FORKS

1.-The colors are we'll chosen and the
whole effect of the wards is bright and
pleasing, If som ewhat unrestful to the
ordinary observer. With regard to the
effect of this scheme of decoration
on the patients, careful inquiry from
the medical officers, sisters and patients
has elected the following facts:
u. There is less crime Gin the mill
tary sense) in Ward than in any of
the other wards. This fact is of i'm
portance and needs further trial and
investigation, as it appears to be a
strong point in favor of the color
scheme. 1t may be mere coincidence
1t may be due to the influence on the
men of a tactful and suitable charge
sister. A measure of the value of the
sisters management in a neurological
ward is the presence or absence of
military offences. Further, it is pos
slble that the men have pride in
the ward as being a show place, and
their conduct consequently improves.
Ii the last factor is of importance it
would naturally disappear if the whole
hospital were treated in the same way.
These comments indicate a path for
further investigation of the fact.

pressed and was removed to Ward A,

Didn't Go Mad

ID Two patients who were placed in
Ward A (yellow) declared that they
would go mad if they were left there.
After two days this attitude of mind
was changed to acquiescence with their
surroundings. 1t is common expert.
ence that we can become accustomed
to any surroundings, and that the mind
has the capacity of dissociating from
consciousness any conditions that are
unpleasing and by that means protect
ing itself from disturbance.
80. A young officer who had been un-
able to sleep for many nights unless
with the help of sedative drugs while
in France was placed in room in
which purple predominated. He Slept

This case has been quoted as an es-
ample of the soothing effect of the
purple room, but any medical officer
who has dealt with neurological cases
can quote dozens of similar instances
where the patient gave the credit for

removed, and where there was moth
ing in his surroundings that was PEI
culiar.
Sc. The patients who occupy beds in
the pink room show q tendency
to sit there rather than in the other
rooms.
taking all these facts into considera-
ton, it does not appear that the par
ticular scheme of decoration here de-
scribed has any more effect than would
be achieved by any cheerful decora-
ton chosen by an expert in the blend
ing of colors. 1t is generally recog-
nized that the effect of color in our
surroundings is personal one, and
except in the widest sense cannot be
imposed upon US by another person sue
cessfully.
SIT is obvious that an unfamiliar dec
orative scheme may be utilized as
means of producing a state of sugge stf-
bllity in a patient and assist in the
removal of symptoms, as is instanced
in case mentioned under paragraph
3. This fact is capable of extensive
use, but the result is not obtained by
any virtue in the color chosen but by
the suggestion which it is made to con-
vey.
There can be no doubt that hap

Flying to India

WITH the arrival in Calcutta of
a Handley-Page airplane, the
first epoch-making aerial trip from
England to India was completed
says writer in ''The Scientific
American" who continues:
"The landing of the huge biplane on
the race course in Calcutta was wit
messed by the Viceroy and Lady
Chelmsford, the governor of Bengal
and an immense crowd of Europeans
and natives, to whom the second ap-
pearance of an airplane in Calcutta
was a great attraction.
"The trip was made without serious
mishap via Egypt and Mesopotamia, a
distance of about 6,700 miles by the
route followed. An average speed of
50 miles an hour was maintained, and
many stops were made. The original
trip from London to Egypt was made
for the purpose of military inspec-
ton, and it was then decided to con-
tinue to India, with stops in Meso-
potamia, for further inspection duty
From Delhi to Calcutta the machine
carried six persons.
"There has been considerable dis
cussion with reference to an aerial
mail service between England and In
dia, the British Aerial Transport Com
mittee considering that the trip from
London to Calcutta can probably be
made in four days, as against the
minimum of eighteen days via Brin-
dist required by rail and ship.
investigations are now being made
with view to establishing an aerial
mail service in India, and it seems
reasonable to predict that within p
few months one will be in operation.
With the easily obtainable average
speed of seventy miles an hour. the
Journey from Bombay to Calcutta
could be made in seventeen hours in
stead Of forty-six by rail, the Bonn
bay-Simla trip could be cut from two
days to fourteen hours, and Karachi
would be only ten hours from Delhi;
instead of forty-eight."

than the senses. Thus we find that
certain senses have even been re-
tarded, such as, for instance, sight,
smell and hearing. When man lived
his wild life it was very necessary
for these senses to be much sharper
than they are at present; hence our
poor hearing, bad sight and very
much poorer smell. On the other
hand, as the battle for existence
becomes more and more acute, and
as moreover the battle is not as much
physical as mental, it follows that
the mind and its thinking machinery
should naturally become more and
more developed, which, in fact, it
does.
We may safely say that within the
next hundred thousand years-which
is only a small span of time in mans
evolution-the human mind will be
an entirely different sort of an
paratus from what it is today. Mans
mental power will be infinitely
greater than what it is at present
Already we have indications that
mans thoughts, or the effects there
from, do not necessarily have to re-
main within his skull, but that they
actually radiate from the latter in
very imperfect manner.
AS the human race advances, there
IS no doubt that thought transfer
ence proper will become an accom-
pIlshed fact. 1t has already been
shown experimentally by Di Brazza,
as we'll as Charpentier, that concen-
trated thinking will produce certain
external effects, as, for instance, a
slight fuorescence on a zinc sulphide
screen, or a suitably excited X-ray
screen. This would tend to prove
that thoughts are of an electrical ma
ture, probably having a very short
wave length.
AS most electrical effects in space
are dependent upon wave motion, it
should not be surprising therefore
that thoughts or active THINKING
should give rise to wave motion as
well.

The Engaging Penguin

Among the birds first place must be
gwen to the penguins, surely the oldest
and most engaging of feathered Great
ures. The gigantic emperor. the gor-
Eeous king and royal, the gentoo, said
to be the only penguin palatable even
to hungry whaler, and a number of
smaller species are all equally attrac-
tive by reason of the sleek beauty of
their wildly patterned plumage, by
their quaint gait and still more by
their power of expressing the familiar
human emotions of anger, fear, affec-
sion, curiosity, anxiety, solicitude,
spite, envy and surprise.
"Penguins have given up the struggle
with the southern gales, and turning
thelr wings into fn-shaped fippers use
them only in swimming and in gest-
ures. The gulls, skuas, cormorants,
petrels and albatrosses, Of which the
remaining bird population is composed
are superb in the air, but use their
long and narrow wings almost entirely
as floats, holding them rigidly like the
wings Of a monoplane"
These birds have conquered the
weather to the extent not only of
surviving themselves, but of rear
ing their young under almost impos-
sible conditions. Two characteris-
tlcs, however, make them the vic
Inns of man. They are fearless to
tne extent Of letting human beings
come close to them, examine their
nests and pass through their rock
er'es. For their protection against
sne cold they are equipped with a
nick coating of blubber, from which
valuable oil can be made. The re-
buk is that
everywhere their numbers are being

n n "The American Magazine" AL
b mon Bement, an American art
~ list, who worked for the govern
ment during the war in camou-
FACING ships, explains some of the
tricks of the camouheur.
"When you think of camoufage,"
says the writer, "you imagine that
it belongs only to war. You probably
have no idea that you literally can
use it in your BUSINESS that you
can employ it in your houses, your
yards and gardens, even in the very
clothes you wear. But this is
fact, nevertheless"
Mr.. Bement explains such things
as making your entrance door wider,
cor seem WIDER" by putting in side
lights, or by adding wider castings
with heavy mouldings, and putting
projecting coping or little shinglcd
overhang above it.
Mr.. Bement points out many ways
that camoufage already has been
used, perhaps unconsciously, as, for
instance
"Facial makeup with rouge and pow
der is camoufage, but comparatively
few women understand how to use it.
II the face Is broad and fiat the color
should be put on tho cheek bones near
the centre Of the face. If it is narrow
the face can be made to seem rounder
by putting the color further back, tow
ard tho ears. The chin Is made round
er and more prominent by putting
color on IL.
"Of course, actors and actresses arc.
or should be, expert camoufcurs. They
darken the lower eyelids, because If
they did not the footlights would de-
stroy tho outline Of the eyes,"

Concluding his entertaining ar
ticle, the writer says:
"Camouaage has been great help in
winning the war. 1t has saved many
ships. But, with the great struggle a
thing of the past, we can take up these
principles, which we have evolved
through such bitter necessity, and put
them into practical everyday USE

tie, and the senses corrcspondingly

This is especially true of the hu-
man thinking machinery, which per-
haps has advanced more rapidly
