When Nature Hints About the Food. The most intense colors the young man can see are produced before his ryes when he hears the sound of the vowels. When the letter “a.” is sounded he perceives a, brilliant green, but at the same time he has a sensation as of feeling something cold and smooth, such as glass. The sound of the letter “e” produces sev- eral varying colors before his eyes, but particularly yellow or shades of yellow. The letter “i” gives him a. sensation of dark color, “0" is for presented by a bright red, "u" is a dark green, and “y” is white. When he looks at these letters in print he sees colors corresponding with those he sees when the letters uro sounded. but much less vividly. These results were obtained by exâ€" periments chiefly made with the huâ€" man voice. translated into color after reaching his brain. He could hear no definite sound without at the same time sensing a definite color or combina- tion of definite colors. Dr. Ulrich discovered other strange things in the sensations of his pa.- tient, and for three years he has been making continous tests and ex- periments, the results of which he has now giVen to the scientific World.

Dr. Alfred Ulrich. Who discovered him three years ago and who has just published in a Paris specialists' journal 3. full nc- t‘o-‘i‘nt of the remarkable Case. The young man is a. native Swiss of poor family, and that is how he fell under the observation of Dr. l'l- rich. who.is the head of the nervous hospital at Zurich. The patient came to the hospital for treatment. of a. slight spasmodic afiection. but Dr. Ulrich soon discovered he had happened on one of the most curious and amazing cases in the annals of science. It is difficult to make out the causes of the strange things this young man can do, for rm exactly mmilar case was never known, al- though the patient's brother, a. younger man, presents many of the same phenomena.

The list shows that the need for money is general, Mincrd's Hnlment Cums Bums. The London Argus of a. recent date, contains an interesting article on the difficulties now experienced by municipalities in raising money. It draws attention to the extraor- dinary measures that are being tak- en by over 30 of these bodies to procure loans in sums ranging from £50 to £1,000 from any who will lend. Some of the largest, provin- Cial cities are. included in the list. The rates of interest are, in the ma- jority of cases, beuwen 3i and 4 per cent. Various terms of payâ€" ment are offered. The Argus savsâ€" Towns Accept Sums to be Repaid in Six Months. Dr. Ulrich calls attention to the surprising fact that one person in every ten has this remarkable faculty in a small degree, only the person having it is not aware he is excep- tional. He says these persons are perfectly healthy in all respects, so far as their nerves or brain are con- cerned, but having been accustomed to these senSutions from their child- hood, think they are perfectly naturâ€" al and hence not worthy of particu- lar notice. SENSES FORMS OF TOUCH. Dr. Ulrich brings all these interest,- ing facts forward 11:; proof that all the five senses are really but. differâ€" ent forms of one and the same sense â€"that is, touch. The entire busi- ness. it is claimed, is done in the brain where the different centres conâ€" trolling the sensations act like a switchboard upon which no coordinâ€" ated method is at work. So that, the sense of l‘OUIlanSS, when a round object is seen or felt, is car- ried to the brain and there, by mis- placed switches of the gray matter, is converted into color, sound, or‘ even smell and taste. a color, out he sees and hears the shape or form of things. For ex- ample, for him a, circle produces a sensation of red, and When he smells iodoform he can see a bright red color and perceive, at the same time, a sour or bitter sour taste. When he touches a cold object he can see a green color, and he sees a. red col- or when he touches a hot object, In his brain the senses of form, color, and Sound are interchangeable. In other words, he can feel the qualâ€" ity of roundness in a. sound, of squareness m‘ roundness in a color, of color in roundness or squareness. He not only sees a. sound and hears brain some strange faculty by which almost all the senses seem to be convertible one into another, and this faculty rendered the best and most conclusively positive results in the experiments, for it left him en- tirely in the hands of the experimemâ€" ter. ferent colors in the cries of different animals. The cry of a dog produces for him a sensation of yellow; when he hears the cry of a black-bird he perceives a red color; the raven's voice flashed a color of green before his eyes; the low of a cow is fol- lowed by the perception of indigo, while the bloat of a sheep gives him an impression of yellow.

Among the most remark- able cures is that of Mr. Richard Quirk, and he gives the story of it to the public as follows: “I. suffered for over twenty years from Lumhago and Kidney Disease and at intervals was totally unable to work. After ten or twelve years of doctors treatment, I had made up my mind that my complaint was in- curable. Reading of cures by‘Dodd's l Kidney Pills tempted me to try them.

The latest type of gun introduced in the British navy is remarkable for its great length, over 37 feet, combined .with its relatively small diameter, 36 inches at the breech and 18 inches at the muzzle, and its comparative lightness, 28 tons. Its here is 9.2 finches, its projectile weighs 380 ipounds, and at 3,000 yards this mis- sile can be driven through 11 inches of Krupp steel. The barrel is made up of an inner tube, enclosed is a jacket of wound steel wire. This gun is reckoned equal in destructive powâ€" er to the Isaâ€"inch bore guns that preceded it, which have more ’than double its Weight.
