CONSIDERATION has been given to
" the possibility sf aerial observa

it appears, has only six peaks above
% 900 feet high, and an aviator, fly
ing at about $4,000 or $4,000 feet
should have no difficulty, in crossing
if the highest peaks were avoided.
while if he chose certain of the
gorges, an altitude of some $4,000
feet would suffice. The greatest Of
the many obstacles to be encoun-
tered is the mountain sickness. which
occurs in the highest attitudes
through deficiency of oxygen. The
gradual climber. going afoot. is less
handicapped in this respect than the
aviator rising suddenly from sea lev
Ell in his machine; on the other hand,
the pedestrian has more fatigue I'd
undergo. and this practically equal

How Colors Are Heard,

TOLOR hearing. or chromaesth hesia.
the constant association of colors
with words, letters, musical notes and
noises. is inherent. we are assured by
competent authorities, in one of every
eight persons.
Some years ago a noted scientist.
during the course of a lecture. pre-
dicted that the Gay would come when
sound would be seen and color heard.
and time has confirmed this statement.
1t seems incredible that beam OF
light can produce sound. yet it has
been accomplished by throwing a ray
of sunlight through a lens on a glass
vessel containing lampblack, or col
ored silk or worsted, or any similar
substance.
A disk having Sits and openings
cut in it is made to revolve swiftly
in the beam of light so as to "cut it
up" into alternate flashes of light and
shadow. When the ear is placed to
the glass vessel the sensitive organ
can distinguish strange, faint sounds
as long as the flashing beam falls
upon the vessel.
An even more extraordinary effect
is produced when the beam of sun
light is first made to pass through a
prism so as to produce what is known
as the solar spectrum. The disk is
turned so that the colored light of
the rainbow passes through ii and
is alternately interrupted and trans
mitted by it.
If the ear be placed to the glass
vessel containing the silk or other
material it will be noticed that the
colored lights of certain parts of the
spectrum will make sounds and those
of other parts will not. For example,
If the glass vessel contains red worst
ed and the green light is flashed upon
it there will be comparatively loud
sounds and when the red and blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the
vessel there will he faint osunds; but
other colors will produce no sounds.
