future.
Those who visited either OF
the recent Worlds Fairs will have
pleasant memories of the lovely
color effects when the lights were
turned on in the evenings These
color effects, at least in part,
may appear in the homes of to-
morrow.
AS Mr.. Hibben points out,
Lighting is entering a period of
orchestration in which, like the
instruments in the orchestra, all
the new sources and colors will
play parts. We are heading to-
ward a civilization in which cleo
trio lamps for lighting and nu
merous other purposes will add
vastly TO our leisure, our pleas
ure, our health and our life
span"
According To DR.. Wadsworth'
theory, this orchestration of color
must be wisely planned. and such
wise planning seeing that peo-
pie are not subjected to the col
ors that are most disturbing 10
them-might do at least a little
bit TO help set right a world
gone mad.

Hibben suggests that beautiful
displays of artificial light and
actual scenes in all their natural
beauty will be brought into
homes Of tomorrow by televi-
sion"
He pictures television screens
the size of an entire wall on
which Western sunsets, perhaps
the many-colored wooded hills
in Autumn, lazy meandering
streams or other scenes might be
tuned in at will.
Lamps of tomorrow" he says,
will mood-condition our homes,
paint pleasing and ever.changing
pictures or designs on our walls,
kill bacteria and so guard us
against disease, provide us with
health-giving radiation and sun
tan while we sleep"
Black light, which is used 10
produce special stage effects in
the theatre is the invisible ultra
violet radiation which, when il
shines on specially prepared fab
RIGS, paints, etc, brings out hid
den patterns and unsupported
colors. This too, it is predicted,
will be used in the homes of the

in front Of a persons eyes for
a short time and then removed
the person will see an after
image which will look like a
green card-although nothing is

the eye nerves get tired of react
ing 10 the red color and try 10
neutralize it by bringing up the
vision Of green. Psychologists
often use this experiment.
The Ericksons went a step
farther They held up a white
card in front of a hypnotized
subject, told him it was red and
Just as if it actually had been
that color-the person had the
after image of neutralizing green.
They got similar reactions from
suggestions that the card was
blue, yellow or green. Always

ton Of sight, DR.. Fox found, and
this was as would be expected
because color comes before per-
ception of form, and lasts longer.
One woman, almost blind, pre-
sented a most interesting case to
DR.. Fox. Reds and blues were
predominant In her dreams, pinks
and yellows indistinct. Colors
were always faded in her dreams.
This woman experienced a sill
very light in her dreams, a light
seen by all when the retina is
at rest. This silvery light was
called "Eigenlicht" by the great
scientist HelmholtZ. The Greeks
knew about this silvery light and
believed that the eye has a light
of its own which it shed upon
the outer world.
How deeply seated in the hui
man brain is the phenomenon of
color will be appreciated from
the work reported by NJ. II. and
f. M. Erickson, who conducted a
remarkable series of experiments
upon four deeply hypnotized sub
jects.

mentary colors; that is. they neu-

r HE largest and the oldest
living thing in the world
weighing over 1000 tons and
older than the pyramids-once
weighed only fraction of an
ounce.
This granddaddy of all things
"a giant sequoia tree in Cali
fornia-will keep right on grow
ing and never die unless some
thing destroys it.
The tree, nearly 300 feet tall
and over 100 feet in circumfer-
ence, is estimated by naturalists
10 be nearly 5000 years old. 1t
was big inhabitant of the forest
long before the birth of Christ.
Despite its huge weight (esti-
mated at 4,299,S51 pounds), this
giant of giants weighed only
0000104 pounds as a seed, which
means ii has multiplied its
weight over 472 billion times.
The big tree, known as Cen
eral Sherman" is over SO feet
in diameter, its largest branch
is $50 feet above the ground and
is nearly nine feet in diameter.
Scientists have never known a
sequoia to die. 1t may be de-
stroyed by man, as many have
been, or by fire, earthquake,
lightning, wind, landslides, or
erosion-but no redwood has ever
been known TO die of old age.
A sequoia not nearly as large
in diameter as General Sherman
was cut down a number of years
ago and a count of its rings
Ashowed it to be 1926 years old.

Just one of the queer oddities of
nature that were recently COM

Lippincott in Philadelphia.

OF nature, and Beatty. a special

The Oldest Living Thing on Eor+h

lecturer on natural science. has
successfully rounded up thou
sands of surprising natural phe.
nomena.
Beatty found and recorded, for
example, a bird that incubates it's
egg by carrying it around on top
of its foot and an animal that has
eight legs and no body.
The bird that matches it's egg
on its foot is the female king
penguin. This South Georgia
bird with the Charlie Chaplin
waddle lays only one egg.
The egg is placed on the top of
her right webbed foot. A special
glove-like skin holds the egg in
place and mama penguin runs
around as she pleases until the
baby is Matched.
The bodiless animal is the sea
spider-a creature that has no
breathing apparatus. 1t is diff
cult to understand how it can
live, but it does.
The eight tubes of the stomach
of this peculiar animal are in its
eight legs. Its four eyes are on
the very tip of its nose. The
sea spider steals its food by stick
ing its long pump-like nose into
the stomach Of the sea anemone.
drawing out as much digested
food as il needs.
The sea anemone is quite an
oddly in itself because il throws
stones at it's enemies. The plant
like creature shoots" the am
munition out of its cannon-like
mouth-but never attacks the
sea spider.
Beatty also discovered that
male ants have grandfathers but
no fathers, the three-toed sloth
grows a lawn on its body, the
carpet beetle can live for years
with nothing to eat but its own
skin, the cottontail rabbit talks
with its feet and the starfish has
a nose on the end Of its foot.

time was the novel dinner in a
Chicago hotel where Mr.. Hibben
entertained a number of guests
who did not know that he was
using them as human guinea
pigs.
After the guests sat down at a
banquet table loaded down with
appetizing looking dishes, the
lighting was suddenly switched,
changing the color Of all the food
into disturbing hues.
The celery was a gaudy pink,
the steak a sickly gray, tall
glasses of milk were blood red,
eggs a distressing shade of blue,
and the soup was lavender. At
the sight of this peculiarly col
ored food, the guests felt queer
things happening in their stom-
achs and some even became vio-
lently i'll.
Then the normal lights were
turned back on and Mr.. EIibben
explained that this merely was
an experiment to show color can
affect not only the sense Of sight
but the related senses Of taste.
touch and smell.
In his latest predictions Mr..

found that a new flower garden
had been laid out. Red was the
predominant color Of the flowers.
The red flowers were removed
and the garden redesigned in
blue and white flowers. After
that the business men gradually
all returned as guests, and felt
refreshed after their stay.
Mr.. Lambert stated that even
he, familiar with flowers, had
been violently irritated after an
hour on the hotel verandah
gazing at the red flowers, but
that gazing at the subsequent
white and blue flowers gave
him a mental peace and re-
taxation hard to define.
According 10 the late DR. l..
Webster Fox, color has not only
an emotional effect on people
but actual physical effects. He
cited the case Of a patient who
suffered violent nausea when she
looked at anything yellow. This
was cured by providing her with
properly tinted glasses to filter
out yellow light.
DR. Fox did elaborate expert
ments on whether or not blind
people saw" color in their
dreams. He studied IS cases.
and of these 80 were blind either
from birth or before their fifth
year. Twenty were blinded after
their seventh year. Those blind
ed after their seventh year saw
color and forms in their dreams
Blindness between the fifth and
seventh year seemed 70 be the
crucial period.
Or. Fox commented that people
in their dreams see what they
see in their daily life, and that
people blind from birth or before
the fifth year live in a mental
world void Of color and form.
Their pictures are like arches
without keystones." he said.

physicians 10 stop at the retina
OF the eye and disregard the
great system behind the retina
itself. He says:
I'm the past IL has been usual
to attribute all difficulties of
color perception 10 defects of the
retina, these defects being not in
frequently Of a highly imaginary
nature. No one would for mo-
ment think of denying that the
retina plays a most essential part
in color perception.
But TO one at all familiar with
the physiology of color the dis
regard OF the mental functions
which is so common in prevalent
color theories is more absurd
than an equal overlooking of the
retina.
TO stop at the retina and
disregard the great system that
lies behind IL and OF which the
retina is indeed but a small part
is so mistaken that we wonder
how il can be done by intelligent
psychologists"
Other effects of color were
emphasized in an interview with
James Lambert, superintendent
of the botanic gardens of the
University OF Pennsylvania, and
propagation OF the world famous
Morris Aboretum. Mr.. Lambert
was for many years on the staff
Of Kew Gardens, London, before
coming TO the University of Penn

He told of a resort hotel out
side OF London to which business
men went for week-ends TO get
away from cares and worries.
The hotel management began TO
feel gradual lessening in bust
ness. Men would come down for
a weekend and would not re-
turn, complaining the place was
not restful.
