TONES AND COLORS.
Discorery of a Remarkable Phenom
enon by a Scientist.
Raya of Light Which Product Cer
tain Colors Correspond aiwrtly
with Certain Tone Vs In
Muaieal Instruction.
It has been the dream of poets that
some subtle, sympathetic relation ex
ists between tones and colors; that the
harmonizing1 of one and the artistic
blending of the others appeal to the
same sense of the beautiful; that
sweet sounds and pleasing color
effects are very much akin. It has re
mained for a Philadelphia professor to
trace this phantasy to its source; to
materialize the vague impressions of
dreamers and to reduce them to a mat
ter of science, says the New York Her
aid. It has long been common knowl
edge that our conception of both musi
cal tones and colors is due to the effect
of vibrating waves of movement, but it
is something new to learn that there is
a close and exact sympathetic rela
tionship between the notes of the scale
i j - A 1 A
ana ine colors 01 ine specirum; viini
the same system oi nature governs
each and that discords arise in ill
matched hues from infringement of
the same rules 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 rainbow exactly corre
pond with the seven notes of the
gamut, and that red, being the domi
iiant, has to the other colors the same
comparative refrangibility, or "wave
lines," as the dominant in any chord
has to the other notes in the scale. It
will blend artistically and pleasingly
only with such colors as represent
notes which in music may be harmon
iously used with t he dominant.
It is claimed by the discoverer of
this phenomenon in science, and he
has devoted the last 20 years to the
study of relationship between tone and
color, that the rays of light which pro
duce red, at the base of the spectrum,
correspond exactly with sound waves
responsible for "do," the keynote at
the base of the tonic scale. Orange
corresponds with "re," yellow with
"mi," green with "fa," blue with "sol,"
purple with "la" and violet with "si."
ISefore scientific experiments and re
search established these facts, argues
the professor, impressionists, poets
and painters felt this close union be
tween tone and color. Artists knew
that a warm splash of red, giving an
impression of prominence and near
ness to the eye, would dominate the
whole picture. "Do," the tonic in
music, is recognized as the centripetal
force. Opposite in effect is the coo,
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 harmony
is "mi." the v ll.w. ihe sweet but un
obtrusive "third" of the scale. These
three colors combined form a most
pleasing group, while the correspond
ing tones form the tonic chord, the
basis of all ha nnony.
This remarkable science, or theory,
whichever it may properly be called.
has been put to practical purpose in
the nriixtic and, musical training of
little children, nt an ape when their
minds are especially susceptible to im
pressions of sweet ."omuls and bright
colors, when the intelligence is mainly
working through the medium of their
.senses.
A FULL DAY'S WORK.
What a New England Farmer Accom
plished. Lest some one should think an
Aroostook farmer's life too free and
easy, the Parkhurst correspondent of
the Fort Fairfield Beacon gives this
account of an average day's work dur
ing the potato-digging season : "I went
to bed at 11 p. ni. with the conviction
ihat I must get up at 4 a. m. (jlocal
time). Awoke when the clock struck
2 and dared not go to sleep again for
fear of sleeping over.- Jumped out of
bed at 4 o'clock, ran to the barn, dressed
myself as I went, and fed and harnessed
four horses; ran to the house and woke
the old woman (for good reasons farm
ers' wives often sleep with the hired
girl through potato digging); ran to
the spring and back twice; greased the
double wagon; mended a check rein;
unloaded four barrels and a basket of
potatoes and dumped 16 barrels; 5,
woke up the crew; 5:30, breakfast;
.1:33, ran to the barn again, got the
horses on the wagon and started for
the factory; C, arrived at factory,
horses steaming, two acres of teams
ahead of me; everybody swearing;
0:30, lit my pipe; 7, gave some of the
loys a lesson in careless language; 8,
lit my pipe again; 9, went into the
loarding house and tried to buzz the
cook; 10, told a big yarn; 11, stole a
lottle of whisky; 12:30, got unloaded,
full as a starch factory, and ran the
horses all the way home, arriving at
1; had a row with a Frenchman and
forgot to eat dinner; 2, chased four
Arab peddlers out of the field, then
hauled potatoes to the cellar till 7;
p, had supper, unharnessed and cared
for the horses, went to the spring twice
more, shoveled potatoes in cellar till
S:30, got a chance to kiss the hired girl
twice; 10, went to bed happy.
PLAN IS PWIHXTED.
Oregon Development League Con
vention In Portland.
Arrangements are being perfected for
the meeting of the Oregon Development
League to be he'd in Portland April 20
27. From La Grande and all points
east the O. K. & N. Railroad will make
an open rate of one fare for the round
trip, and from points west of La Grande
one fare and a third for the round trip.
The Southern Pacific has made a rate
of one fare for the round trip from a 1
points south of Glecdale and a corres
ponding rate of one and a third fare for
the round trip from points between
Glendaleand Portland. The Northern
Pacific mokes the tickets good on trains
arriving on the morning of April 26 or
April 27. Tickets on all roads are good
for return until April 28.
Though the complete programme has
not been arranged, it has been an
nounced that the morning sessions wil.
be general meetings in which all mem
bers will participate, the afternoon ses
sions to be in sections. On the after
noon o( April 26 the good toads Bection.
in charge of J. H. Scott, ot Salem, will
meet with the entire league for the con
sideration of matters peculiar to that
section. The other sections will repre
sent fruits, dairying and mining. It is
hoped that by working the sections bet
ter results will be attained and more
material benefit wUl be derived from
Ihe convention. Secretary Richardson
has been Advised that there is a move
ment on foot amorg the several dis-
tiicts to bring the greatest number of
people to the convention, and indica
tions are that the meeting will be a
great success, and that the attendance
will not fall short of 1500. Newberg, it
is said, will send a representative dele
gation and will report excel'ent prog
ress in that district. Independence is
another town from which great things
are expected, while Hood River, which
made a fine representation a year ago,
will be present 100 strong with a march-
ng club, the members f which will

West to IHff Canal.
Chicago, April 8. Western men are
to have a long leeway allowance in the
sel ction of capable engineers and con
tractors for the work on the Panama
Canal. Not that there is to be a sec
tional discrimination in selecting the
subordinates who rerve under the new
Canal Commission, but, as Chairman
T. P. Shonts said today :
"We wish to employ the men who
have practical knowledge of direct con
struction work, who can do the best and
most effective work for tho Government
in the shortest reasonable time and for
the best legitimate price and I love
Western men.
"I had intended to make certain ap
pointments before my departure for the
East, but for purely business reasons I
have decided to hold them off. I leave
for New York tomorrow, and from there
go to Wasnington, to e with the Com
mission until such time in the near
future as I can leave for Panama.
"In selecting superintendents, fore
men, engineers and the other skilled
labor to be employed on the canal, we
will dig up the man that can think, act
and do honestly in the test way for the
best interests of the United States Gov
erntnnt. We want the practical man
who ha had construction experience
And Western men in railway woik have
had this."
Robbed the Grave
A startling incident is narrated bj
Jubn Oliver of Philadelphia, bs follows:
"I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no fippetite, growing weoker dy
by day. Three phvpioians had given me
up. Then I was gdvised to sue Electric
Bitters; to my great joy, the firs bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for thrre week", and
m cow a well can. I know they
robbed the grave of another victim."
