r ' A e to c as 'xUMto AlM) CULUlto. DjscoTery of a Remarkable Phenom enon by a Scientist. Hay of Msrht AVhlrh l'rolup Ceir- tain Colors C orrenpunil KMwHIy with IHTlnln li(inwi-Ui ' Iluaiml Iimtruction. 1 It has hern tlie- 'ilrt'iim of poets that some subtle, s nipntlu tic relation ex-ji-t-s hetvu't-n tones nnil colors; that thy barmonizinir of one and the nrtistic blending of the others appeal U the same sense of the heuut.i f ui; thut sweet sounds nnd pleasing color effects are very nnie'a akin. t has re mained for a Philadelphia professor to trace this phantasy to ita source; to materialize the vaine impressions of dreamers nnd to reduce them to a mat ter of science, says the New York Her ald. It has hni been common knowl edge that our conception of loth musi cal tones and colors is due to the effect of vibrating waves of movement, but it is something new to lea-rn that there is ft close and exact sympathetic rela tionship between the notes of the scale and the colors of the spectrum; that the same system oi nature governs each and that discords sdsb in ill matched hues from inf rinpeiont of the same rides which govern the com bination of sounds according to the science we call harmony. It is amazing to learn that the seven colors of the ram bow exactly corre spond with the seven notes of the gamut, and that red. in-liiir the domi nant, has to the other cn ;s the same comparative refrangibility, or "wave lines," as the dominant i:i any chord has to the other notes in the scale, ft will blend artistically ir,c; pleasingly only with such colors as represent notes which in music may be harmon iously used with the dominant. It is claimed by the discoverer of this phenomenon in scionce, and he has devot-ed tho List 2n i -'ara to the study of relationship between tone and color, that the rays of light which pro duce red, at the base of th spectrum, correspond, exactly with t.und waves resp nsi the liase le for "do," the keynote at scale. Orange " yellow with of the tonic corresponds with "re mi, E'reeii with purple with "hi" a liefore ceient if'e search es-aMisher a," blue with "sol," d violet, -with "si." xpei inients and re- t In facts. tirirues the professor, i iresfiom ;ts, poets ami pointers felt this close union be tween tone and color. Anists knew that f. vrarm splash of red, giving an impression of prominence r.nd near ness to the eye, would dominate the whole picture. "lo," tht tonic in music, is recognized as the cent ripetnl force. Opposite in effect is the cool, limpid blue, which is in agreement with "sol," the clear, ringing -fifth" of the scale, the tone of centrifugal force, while midway and in perfect ha rmony if "mi," the yellow, the sweet but un obtrusive "third" of (he scale These three colors combine! form a most pleasing group, while the correspond ing tones form the tonic chcrd, the basis of all harmony. This remarkable science, or -"theory, whichever it may properly be called, has been put to practe al pnrj ose in tho artistic ad, musical training of little children, at an age when their minds ar- especially siif-y-eptiMe ' im pressions of sweet sou n-is and t right colors, when th intelligence- is mainly working through the medium of their senses. For this purpose an ingenious ar rangement of colored bads and sticks has been devised, by wlrkdi the lirst instincts of harmcny are instilled into children who have scare y learned their alphabet. At the snur." time they become aeuainte.l with the. artistic arr tmrement of colors. hile certain seiju nc s or eor,, binarinns of colors are hein-r exh.i'i- jiei:. wnpaTneTie m- J ' 1 1 , a n I e !i p : ,i are heard, nnd the little mes (jiiieklv learn to sssociite 1,- two. After awhil they will sing inn. hitherto unlearned or unheard by them, mere ly following the exhibition of the dif ferent colors, which to them hive r rome associated with and expressive of t'.ne. For instance, should the fol lowing sequence of colors appear: Ked, lied. Orange, Violet, Ked, Orange. Yellow, Yellow, Green, Yellow, Orange, lied, Oranire. lied, Violet, lied, they would instinctively recognize the melody of "V y Country, "Tis of Thee." and heartily join in sinring. To have taught this by musical notation would have been impvssihle. When they hae grown older the or dinary method ! musical tuition is aided by the printing- of each note in its corresponding color. This in claimed to show the essential unity of the scale in all its deferent positions on the wtaff, to give a -pictorial repre sentation ot the modulations from key o key nnd greatly to simplify the study of harmony by showing at a glance the real character of the chord.

Hew the Freah Muter Finn Are Cap. urd for the tlarkvU of tho Country. Practically all commercial fishing in fresh waters is carried on, by the use of nets, whether a rowboat or an uj- ti-date tug is employed. The gill net is the handiest and is much used in Lake Erie. This forms a fence on the bottom of the lake about six feet high and any vrncic iiuiii ieei in several nines long. These nets are made of t bin cord and can be stowed away in a very small compass, says the Buffalo Fxpress. A fish will swim against the fence of net ting, get its head caught in the mesh, and will stay there until taken, out by the fishermen. The nets are kept in position in the water by lead sinkers on the bottom and cork bobs on top. The entire net is also anchored secure ly, while the spot is marked by a buoy, trill nets often come in sections 300 feet long, and are fastened together in gangs. Fishing tugs often set a gang that is over four miles long. Each boat is equipped with twogan?s. Pound nets, whose use in New York waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio and Canadian waters. They form large receptacles in the water into which fish find their way and are prevented from getting out by a trap-like ar rangement at the cut ranee, flame fish are often caught in pound nets. Then then1 are also smaller 1rap nets, fke nets, and many other varieties, some of which are peculiar to different lo calities. Some commercial fishing is carried on by the use of set lines for sturgeons, etc., but such means are not exten sively employed. MEXICO MAKING STRIDES. Our SoathuMtern Neighbor Is Uui idl Taitlnw On the llrtakneai of Amurlcn. Dr. Charles Amezcua, of the City of Mexico, who is a gentleman of scien tific attainments, told a , Washington reporter how much impressed lie was with the beauty of Washington and with the surpassing beauty of it au tumnal days. "There is one thing," said he, "that probably a great many of your readers do not know, and that is how rapidly the republic of Mexico is becoming Americanized. Our people know of t he tremendous progress of our great sis ter across the Kio (Irande, and while they realize that there is yet an enor mous gulf that sejvarates the one from the other, still the United States is au inspiration and an incentive. We re joice in seeing the United States take precedence of the old-world monarch ies, and do not doubt it will eclipse tii em all. "With such an object lesson before us it is no wonder that Mexico is like wise making rapid strides along the mad that leads to national great ik ss. The country is aw nke. ide aw ake. and every ix.cy seems nnluieo with the iota of a glorious destiny. We are pray in sr. also, that (leu.

ANCIENT Treniiure Krrrnll.r I iiea r t lietl in the Tomb of KiiiK l.v-r Shown Some .MnrTfliMiK Viirkni:iuahit- Some of the most remarkable Egyp tian jewelry t-vfr discovered has re cently been unearthed. The da.te as signed is as remote as S'.'oo B. c, but the workmiriKhii) tn p-niil nn.! iewels is marvelous. In exploring the toiuli of Kicg Zer it was found that the tomb had been entered for robbery at some remote period and that the plunderers had brokn off the arm of the mummy quietly and hidden it in a crevice in the wall perhaps on be ing discovered or alarmed and had never returned to remove it, says the New York Herald. On taking off the wrappings Prof. Petrie found four magnificent brace lets of gold, with amethyst, turquoise and lapis laiull In varied and elegant adjustments. The gold work was peculiarly fine and delicate, though the metal was soft and pure, appar ently with no hardening alloy. The stones were beautiful and very strik ingly and peculiarly arranged. A number of amethyst beads of the richest and deepest purple, about a quarter of an Ineh In diameter, are In the possession of Mr. Edward Ayer. i Chicago, tie obtained them from Dashone, Egypt, they being from the treasures in the tomb of Princess Merit, daughter of Amenhotep II., of the twelfth dynaaty. A NEW JERSEY SOLOMON. Jaattee of the I'wuoo RndTi D- cUion Not Unlike That of the FamoiK Itthle Churacter. Magistrate Jermon onco spent a sum mer in a little town in South Jersey and made the acquaintance of a justice of the peace who held more offices than Pooh Bah himself. "He was," says Jermon according to the Philadelphia. Press, "t notary public, a f'orodceeix-r, supcrin tc-ndent of the Sunday school, a lay preacher, posnua.-itt r, coroctr, a farmer and a few more thing s that I can't recall now. He was a hrcA'd old fellow, as a decision in a casa that I heard will go to show. Two farmers had a dispute about the ownership of some poultry, and each pleaded his own case. Each side had at equal number of witnesses and there was some tall swearinK done all around. If I had been sitting on the casa I should have given it up as a bad job, or sent it to court for trial. But that's just what he didn't do. "I forgot to state that In addition to all his other functions he was his own con stable. The hens were in court in a coop and he ordered that the constable should take the coop to the roadway op posite the farms of the litigants and turn the creatures loose. And he did the job himself and got Ids fee for doing it. The hens settled the case themselves by go ing directly to one of the farms, and the Justice declared that they knew their way home, and gave judgment accord ingly." HAREM WANTED SARDINES. When Flrnt Boxti of This Dslicacy Raehd Moroeeo Court There Wm Ornt IQxoltmnt. If the sultan of Morocco, Muley Abd-el-Azir, loses his throne, it perhaps might be due to the discontent of his subjects in seeing him adopt so precip itately European manners and habits. The sultan disregards this danger, how ever, and when he wants a thing Euro pean, he must have it at once, says the New York Tribune. One night there was a great noise In front of the residence of an Englishman inhabiting Morocco. Immediately the soldiers of the palace struck the door violently e x c lh I :r. i c. , "Doha! Daba! (quick! quick!). The master wants all the sardines you have in your house!" The Englishman was not a sardine merchant, but handed over what few boxes he had, ard learned later tha only a few hours before a foreign min ister had presented to the sultan a f t-w boxes of aardines, which wore opened in the harem and partaken of by all the inmates. Such a sudden frenzy was created for them that on the morrow a special rak kas was dispatched to Tangier, with or ders to bring all the sardines in the place. AN EARLY BATTLEFIELD. Monamwmt I.aiel? B!reetd on Field of Conflict of Coutury and n Hit If Ao. . ,.y At a grand public meeting of- many thousand excursionists, including repre sentatives of the patriotic societies of N'pw York and New England, the Society of Colonial Wars unveiled, September 8, t fine monument upon the field of the battle of Lake George, September 8, 1875. Th governor"! of New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut were jrefent at the unveiling, and there were btachments from the regular army and e troops of t!)p several Etatcs. Senator Chtur.eey lepew delivered the oration. The bronze figures of the monument wer- drflgred by Albert V.

Johnson and the Mohawk allies un der Chi: f II,- nV.riek over the French regu lar?, comminded by Baron Dieskau, with the Canadian nr.d Indian allies." On the south face it reads: "Defeat would have opened the road to Albany to the French." On the north "Confidence, inspired by the victory, was of Inestim able value to the American army in the War of the Revolution." and on the west face are the words "Battle of Lake George. September 8. 1755." Electricity for Caaeer. An instructive instance of the use oi electrical effects for treating diseases is described in a recent issue of the Lan cet, London. The practitioner made use of high-frequency alternating currents to cause electrical osmose, by means of which drugs were Introduced Into the tissues of the diseased part. In 22 per cent of the cases of cancer treated, the treatment was successful. He baa come to the conclusion that a radio-active salt of strontium Induced Into the tissues by cataphoresle by blfb-nrequency cur rent would prort ft panacea r ftil forms of caaeer. jKifei Noteworthy ICnterprlsc. ""The epirit of enterprise shown by the firm of Minor & Co. in giving prizes for the best exhibits of Morrow county pro ducts, is commendable. This up-to date firm is interested in the important matter of having a good display of our resources at the Lewie and Clark fair, and in another column of this paper is published a list of attractive presents for the people who bring in the most desirable products grown iu this county The idea of offering these prizes is a good one. not from the standpoint of biri ng the people to bring in and show what can e grown here, but from the fact that it will create a friendly inter est that will make some competition and the result will be a better showing The best products will be placed on ex hibition in Ileppner. A good display of our products will be interesting to Morrow county people. No display of magnitude lias ever been made ot our products, and we hardly know what we have ourselves, to say nothing of the people from the outside. The Gazette hopes that a display will be made that we will not only be proud of Lere, but also at the big Lewis and Clark Exposi tion. Counterfeiting News. The yellowest report of the storm at Ileppner was furnished by the Portland Journal. One of their Btock reporters locked himself up in a side room, put a point on three pencils, tore off bis col lar, turned up bis cuffs, and just threw himself. He conjured up an advancing wail of water travelling faster than a horse can run, and peopled the valley with imaginary horses and men trying to escape it. To impress the reader with the accuracy of the account be re lated an imaginary race between the Hood and a two-horse bjiggy down the valley in which the horses were caught and drowned and the driver saved him self by breasting the crest of the wave and swimming to tdioie. In the ab sence ot a regularly-organized news' service it may be a better way than none to manufactui e "grapevine" tele graph ..and run it in lieu of genuine news, but the people of Ileppner are pretty mad about it. The next regular meeting of Maple Circle will be held on Wednesday evening, July L'U. itiere will be in stallation of officers ar.d a good attend ance is desired. May Kenton, Clerk.
