If these deductions are correct, why not paint the whole world blue and green, and make other colors Mlegal? The painter, and not the politician, is necded to put our old world right. Black, appropriately, is the huo of sorrow and evil. Amid black surroundâ€" ings, life degenerates. It is every bit as black as it is painted. White brings out one‘s activity, and people who live among the snow and ice are the most active. Blue is the peaceful color. _ It inâ€" duces placid happiness, a desire not to be disturbed, and a dislike of arguâ€" ment or contest. Green promotes joy, if not of the most peaceful kind. Red excites one, and produces vio lent effortâ€"sometmes for good, but generally for bad. It is the color of crime. Yellow brings out bad qualities, inâ€" ducing vulgarity, noisiness, jealousy, and revenge. When we understand all about colâ€" ors, we shall be able to regulate our emotions and attain our ideals of perâ€" fect peace. Meanwhile, color experts continue to advance their theories, and the latest comes from a famous eye specialist, who has studied colors and their effects upon human passions.

Of course, we can at present only theorize on this matter, so far as the earth is concerned, because our globe would first have to be masie as hot as the sun itself before a true test could be forthcoming. It might also be possible to tel!l. for example, if the earth really belonged to the sun or was simply captured by it during the sun‘s tremendous journey through space. What however, is more plausible is a theory that space contains masses of different kinds of ~starmaking gaseous elements, and that it should thus be possible to tell from the star‘s spectrum the particular part of the universe from which the star has come. Hence the suggestion that these enâ€" counters are responsible for some of the terrible epidemics which from time to time devastate the ranks of humanâ€" Ity. In this connection it has been sugâ€" gested that in the course of this mighty journey we encounter different patches of ether, some of which are not at all good for the inhabitants of this globe in that these patches are laden with dust containing germs of a bharmful nature.
