The young man is a native Swiss of poor family, and that is how he fell'un-der the observation of Dr. Ul- l‘icll, who is the head of the nervous hospital at Zurich.’ The patient came to the hospital for treatment of a slight spasmodic affection, but Dr. Ulrich soon diswvered he had happened on one of the most curious and amazing cases in'the annals of science. It is diflicult to make out the causes of the strange things this Fortune Harbor, Nfld., June 13.â€" (Special).-â€"â€"Scores of people in this neighborhood are living proofs that Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ailments from Backache to Bright’s Disease. -'Among the most remarkâ€"- 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 Lumbago 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 Kidney Pills tempted me to try them.

SENSES INTERCIIANGEADLE. Remarkable as all this may be, the young Swiss seems to have in his 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. In his brain the senses of form, color, and sound are interchangeable. In other words, he can feel the qual- ity of roundness in a sound, of squareness or roundness in a color, of color in roundness or squareness. He not only sees a sound and hears a color, but he sees and hears the shape or form of things. For exâ€" 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, 1 a sour or bitter sour taste. When he touches a. cold object he can see‘ with measles, and upon his recovery he lost his color, his general health, and his bi'illiancy of mind, but new powers came to him which were quite unobserved, at least in their .scientific importance, until he fell unâ€" der the eye of the Swiss alienist. It was then learned that ever since his boyhood the young man could see .color in the sound of the human voice. After his attack of the measles all kinds of sounds were translated into color after reaching his leâ€"i‘ain. He could hear no definite sound without at the same time sensing a definite color or combinaâ€" tion of definite colors. Dr. Ulrich discovered other strange things in the sensations of his pa.â€" t.ient, 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. SOUND OF THE VOWELS. 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 re- 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 ure sounded, but much less vividly. These results were obtained by exâ€" periments chiefly made with the hu- man voice. But the young Swiss perceives difâ€" a green color, and he sees a red colâ€" or when he touches a hot object, SENSES FORMS OF TOUCH. Dr. Ulrich brings all these interestâ€" ing facts forward :is proof that all the five senses are really but differ- ent forms of one and the same sense â€"that is, touch. The entire busiâ€" 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 roundness, when a round object is seen or felt, is car- ried to the brain and there, by misâ€" placed switches of the gray matter, is converted into color, sound, or even smell and taste. Dr. Ulrich calls attention'to the surprising fact that one person in every ten has this remarkable faculty in a-small degree, oniy the person having it is not aware he is excepâ€" tional. He says these persons are perfectly healthy in all respects, so far as their nerves or brain are con- 'cei‘ned, but having been accustomed to these sensations from their child- hood, think they are perfectly natur- al and hence not worthy of particu- lar notice. ~â€"-â€"-+ SHORT IIIUNICIPAL LOANS .

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 takâ€" 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 provinâ€" cial cities are included in the list. The rates of interest are, in the ma- jority of cases, betWeen 3k and 4 per cent. Various terms of pay- ment are offered. The Argus saysâ€"â€" "In most cases there is the condition of the loan being repayable at six months’ notice.

District Passenger Agent McDonald of the Grand Trunk Railway who recently returned from St. Louis, states that it is hard to find suitâ€" able language to describe the magni- tude and beauty of the greatest Exâ€" position ever held. The site of 1240 acres being two miles long and one mile wide. is covered with beautiful buildings, broken with lagoons, canals, grand courts, monuments, statuary, parks, etc., all forming a picture that must be seen to be realized. An Electrical railway, called the Intramural, makes it easy to get from one part of the grounds to another, and follow out the daily programme, enjoying an hour listen- ing to “Sousa’s” or other famous bands, or taking in a lecture or ad- dress, or Art Gallery. When you consider the immensity of the buildings, one alone having over 20 acres of floor space, and reâ€" flect that they are filled with tho choicest of exhibits from all over the world, one exhibitor vying with another to obtain the coxeted Gold Medal, it seems to suggest the thought of what a grand opporth- ity and an education it will be, to the young men and women of our land, to spend a woek or two at St. Louis this year. ileally no in- telligent man, woman or child can afford to miss this great World's treat.

The destructive power of naval guns becomes every year more terrible. 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 bore is 9.2 inches, its projectile weighs 380 pounds, and at 8,000 yards this misâ€" 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.
