If It were not for the subtle har
monics and 'eoothdng Influences of
green rays in tne light or the sun
we would all become raving lunntlcs
and would soon destroy each other
and the human race would become
extinct.
Science declares this to be true.
The light of the sun Is composed
of rays of various colors, which,
combined together, form light. The
three primary colors are red, blue
and green. The older Idea was that
they were red, blue and yellow, but
this was based on experiments with
color pigments.
Science has discovered that the red
and violet, or actinic rays In sunlight,
are exceedingly Irritating to the
nerves of the retina of the eye. And
It has discovered that green rays are
soothing and restful.
That Is why there Is more crime In
summer than In winter. The hotter
; the sun's rays the more murders,
fights, suicides and quarrels there
are, because In summer the violet
rays predominate In sunlight.
Shut a man up In a room where
he will see nothing but red, and no
green at all, anil he will in time be
come a lunatic, says science. The
reason Is that the constant Irritation
caused by the red rays will eventual
ly be more than the mind can stand.
First, the man will become nervous.
red, blue and yellow. Pigment do
give these results; for a mixture of
blue and yellow pigment will give
green, and a mixture of red and green
pigment will not give yellow, while
the reverse Is the fact with light.
"Pigment simply reflects the light
rays which fall upon It; that Is, pig
ment has the power of absorbing,
and so rendering Invisible, certain of
the rays which, combined, make up
the white light which Illumines them
and of transmitting others to the eye
by reflection. Wo see, that Is, our
nerves of sight are Irritated by, those
rays which are not absorbed, but
which are reflected. The pigment Is
named according to those ruys which
It reflects."
The red bricks of the city, then,
are not red; they simply absorb all
rays of the light fulling upon them
except the red rays and the bricks
reflect these. And they reflect these
Irritating red rays tetter and with
more fierceness In summer than In
winter, hence the Increase of crime
In summer.
But, although we do not see them,
there are green rays In all sunlight,
and It Is the presence of these green
rays that saves us from madness.

green rays will soothe and rest him.
Everyone knows how beneficial a
stay In the country Is to a man who
haa broken down In the city. The
majority of doctors think, when they
prescribe for a patient a rest In the
country, that the benefit Is to come
from tho peace and quiet there.
HALE OF MARATHON
Berlin, Sept. 8. According to sta

he asserts that an evening of danc
ing Is equal to walking all day. Here I

If the grass and foliage were red
Instead of green we would all be lu
nntlcs, says sclnce.
The reason why so many city per
sons break down, and tho reason
there are more crimes of violence In
the city than there are In the coun
try In proportion to the population
Is because In the city there Is a pre
ponderance of red rays reflected from
the red brick houses and pavements
and the eye constantly encountering
these Is constantly Irritated until at
last the whole nervous system Is shat
tered by It.
Experiments have been made to
sho-v the Influence of the violet and
red rays of the sun upon animals and
Insects. In London a scientist shut
some ants In a box and put a pris
matic glass over It so that the ravs
or tne sun passing tnrougt It were
broken up and only the ultar violet
'and red rays entered the box.
The ants Immediately began to
scamper to get out of the rays. They
would huddle In a corner where there
was green or blue, but as soon as
the red rnys were thrown there they
would scamper away. It was the
same with guinea pigs and mice. They
tried to escape from the Irrltnting In
fluence of the red rays.
These are tho rays which cause
sunstroke and heat. It has been
demonstrated that these rnys will
pierce the skull and that they have
an Irritating Influence on the brain.
Tho effect of red and violet rays
upon animals Is again demonstrated
In the madness of bulls when con
fronted with a muss of that color.
To scientists color Is simply the Ir
ritation of the nerves of the eye by
the waves of light. Different wave
lengths gtvo different color sensa
tions. Daniel Burleigh Parkhurst, lectur
er on art In Dickinson college, says
In his work, "The Painter In Oils:"
"It Is the generally accepted theory
now that there are three primary
sensations; that Is, that the eye Is
sensitive to three kinds of color, and
that all other shades and varieties of
color are the results of mingling or
overlapping of the waves which pro
duce those three colors and Irritat
ing more or less tho nerves sensitive
to each color simultaneously.
"These three primary colors are
now stated to be red, blue and green.
The older Idea was that they were

Texas Boosters Meet.
Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 0 Town
boomers from all over Texas, with a
considerable contingent from sur
rounding states, met this morning In
the annual convention of the Texas
Secretaries' association. Three hun
dred commercial clubs are represent
ed at the session, which will be one
of the most Important of Its kind ever
held in the southwest.
Terhaps no other state of the
union Is so extensively nnd persist
ently advertised as Texas, and a dis
cussion of publicity projects for
spreading the fame of the Lone Star
state and Its municipalities through
out the world will be an Important
feature of the three-day conference.
Other matters slated for considera
tion Include the science of city build
ing, the duties of commercial secre
taries, good roads, county fairs, ru
ral relations, public parks, railroad
construction and Immigration.

opening on October lit of the lands
In the Rosebud 'Indian reservation, In
the southern part of South Dakota.
It is expected that over 100,000 per

be allowed to register through an
agent, but applications from others
will be required to be sworn to In one
of several specified towns.

J On April 1, 1908, we placed on the market for sale about 7000 acres
of dry wheat land and 5000 acres of irrigated land,' at prices ranging
from $S to $150 per acre, and notwithstanding a partially strained fi
nancial condition, resultant from the recent panic, we are happy to
report that we have sold 1200 acres of the irrigated land and 4000
acres of the dry wheat land.
J Of the land sold over 720 acres are under cultivation, and this Fall
will mark the liveliest season for development in the Eastern end of
the County, when 500 additional acres will be cleared and planted.
q This is the result of our first five months' effort, and, with the addi
tional improvement this Fall, it does not require much imagination to
calculate the effect of this development on the value of the land. The
majority of the sales have been in five and ten acre tracts, which
assures an intensely farmed country as well as a rapid progress.
J It is IMPORTANT that you keep in touch with this condition and
bear in mind that every acre improved is a stepping stone to enhance
values. The wisdom of this investment at this time, WHEN PRICES
ARE LOW, is proved by the experience in Yakima, Kennewick and
Wenatchee, where undeveloped land today cannot be bought for
three and four times more than what we are now asking.
I During the Summer the Furnish Ditch Co. has been working on the
reconstruction of the ditch under the personal supervision of Mr.
Marble, of Yakima, the work on which will be entirely completed
within three weeks, when we will have, without question, as good a
ditch as -can be found anywhere. No money has been spared to
make the work absolutely perfect. .
J As an investment, purely on the basis of a land proposition, the
Furnish-Coe lands should double in value within one year. This in
crease will not be artificially brought about, as we are not creating
market prices, but will be solely dependent upon the development
and improvement of the country. For the purpose of insuring this
progress we will improve and farm the land of any purchaser at cost,
plus 5 per cent, for supervision.
My time is at your disposal.
