'Wallace Rimington of Queen's Col- lege, London, is expected to have up- on another sense emotional and sti- mulative effects similar to those of music upon the hearing. A book expounding the theories has been published, and the principles are being demonstrated with a novel in-- strument called the color organ, on which compoeitions in colored lights are being prepared and exhibited. The organ has keys and stops with pedals to regulate intensity. The upper portion of the instrument has apertures from which are projected the colors controlled by the keys, and these colors appear on a white screen at the opposite end of the darkened hall. To enhance the effect this screen is draped in folds, surrounded with black and fremed in a double band of white. Playing -with colors for entertain- ment is so far an unfamiliar field, but aside from this the new apparatus should prove of value in a practical way by giving instruction in color harmony.

This correspondence, ending in true Irish fashion, actually passed between two men ln England some years ago, "Mr. Thompson presents his compli. ments to Mr. Simpson, and begs to re- quest that he will keep his doggs from trespassing on his grounds." "Mr. Simpson presents his cornett. ments to Mr. Thompson, and begs to suggest that in future he sbould not spell 'dogs' with two gees." "Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr. Simpson, and will feel obliged if 'he will add the lettet• e to the last word in the note just received so as to rep- resent Mr. Simpson and lady."
